Ok, here the final release of the Shoutbox 3.0 serie. Shouldn't contain any bugs, but you never know ofcourse.
Slovene language added to package. Thx for it Bahattee.
Re: Shoutbox 3.0 Final
Does the module have a cache somewhere. I can't get rid of the BBcode=on, refresh, etc. Even when I delete the 'shoutbox_block.html' there won't change a thing...
Re: Shoutbox 3.0 Final
Thanks but it seems is not working on my site... http://www.portalmex.net/portal i did the thing of height=0 and when i try to admin it it keeps telling me to set the height to 0.. Maybe a little bit of more instructions i had before the shoutbox 2.9 i think i desactivated it, unistalled and erased then install the new one.. my XOOPS is the last final version 2.0.6 i think
Re: Shoutbox 3.0 Final
Is there anyway to allow guests to view the ShoutBox, but not post in it?

I need this too.
Re: Shoutbox 3.0 Final
Try this:
Give the anonymous Guests the right to shout and chance in the template-manager the template of shoutbox_block.html:
Thanks for sharing that great module. Each day I find a new way of using It
Thanks
Re: Shoutbox 3.0 Final
Thanks Migoe!
Re: Shoutbox 3.0 Final
What about setting $modversion['hasMain'] to 0 so there's no need to hide it after installing?
Re: Shoutbox 3.0 Final
translation for persian users is available for download: farsi.xoops.lang.shoutbox3 i do a little modification at shoutframe.php file for UTF-8 charset @ Jan304 could you plz add this to the package?
Re: Shoutbox 3.0 Final: Request...
I want the Auto Refresh is on for default (let say 55s) and dont want my users to choose it, is this possible? So this mean that no more Auto-Refresh option box is displayed and all my users will get the Shoutbox to be refresh at 55s.
Anyway, thanks for this great module!
Re: Shoutbox 3.0 Final: Request...
Find this part in the shoutbox_block.html template:
Yuuji asked me: What about setting $modversion['hasMain'] to 0 so there's no need to hide it after installing?
This would result in being unable to access the frame as since XOOPS would think there is nothing else then the block. So impossible.

I did include your language pack. However, I haven't found a change in shoutframe.php. Could you tell me what you have changed? I run a diff program over it but it didn't found a change...

Re: Shoutbox 3.0 Final: Request...
When modifying the shoutbox.css
How do I get each shout to have a different background?
I managed it with rc2 but can't remember how I did it!
Also getting reports that occasionally the text box is not clearing although most of the time its fine. In some ways this is worse than it not clearing at all as we get quite a few double posts if you dont notice.

1. The style that is delivered default with it, has two different colors... Just make sure odd and even aren't equal.
2. Euh, that's weird. Just a simple javascript is clearing the box after you send a shout. And, the double post problem, shouldn't happen at all, since the module checks or the previous message is the same as the one before...
Re: Shoutbox 3.0 Final: Request...
Thanks .css sorted now.
The text block not clearing issue still happens, The shout is not duplicated as such but is included in the new shout.
For example shout "hello" then on the next shout you type something like - my name is javelin -without checking the box has cleared, you get "hellomy name is Javelin"
Not a huge issue and it doesn't happen every time but it has been highlighted to me from the dozen or so users I have who seem to spend a good part of their working day, if not all of it, talking on it! Mind you at least we know it's being fully tested and if thats all they complain about we're doing ok
One idea they did raise was could we have a shout box pop up that was disguised as an excel spredsheet for those who work in open plan offices
Edit - further to the above, if there was a button so that users could turn off avatars and smilies, this would make the box more subtle.
My site is still on 2.0 and I hestitate updating yet. One thing I really need is to allow the Clear button for a specific Group instead of only admins. I hacked 2.0 to do this and depending on how much has changed in 3.0 it might be a pain all over again...
My needs are pretty simple, the block doesn't require auto refresh, the clear button is needed for specific group, and URLs need to show as links. The popup doesn't need avatars, PM, email, etc links on every line.
But I'm glad to see this module in development. Thanks.
Re: Shoutbox 3.0 Final
Ho, it's vrey simple ! Have a look on the template files, thats all !
For the clear button (your hack), it was in /templates/blocks/shoutbox_block.html
For avatars PM and email, it's in /templates/shoutbox_popupframe.html.
Just one think : I don"t understand why the cycle color (even , odd) don't run in theses templates...
Re: Shoutbox 3.0 Final
Thank you! This is a great module. Good job!
Re: Shoutbox 3.0 Final
Just a small issue, If you use long words or paste in a link the box has trouble resizing until the shout is trimmed out. Like I said its a small issue and there is possibly little that can be done but it has been raised a couple of times by my users.
Re: Shoutbox 3.0 Final
This is an outstanding module - about to install on my site at GuitarGearHeads.com.
I saw the earlier post regarding this, however, I would like for anonymous to be able to SEE the shoutbox posts, but not be able to actually post unless they register.
Is this possible?
Dan
Re: Shoutbox 3.0 Final
Hi dlh,
Change your /templates/blocks/shoutbox_block.html, so it contains the following:
Should do the trick. Disallow in the settings of shoutbox anonymous users to access te shoutbox.
Re: Shoutbox 3.0 Final
Very nice, but could we have something like a history instead of purging old shouts?
Re: Shoutbox 3.0 Final
Sorry doesn't work :(
What happens is that the shoutbox does indeed show but posts do not. Instead what shows in the iframe is "You must be logged in..." etc.
Other ideas? Otherwise this module rocks, my members love it.

EDIT: SORRY I DID GET IT TO WORK. HAD TO USE ABOVE TEMPLATE AND ALLOW ANON. TO POST. YAY!

i tried every possible setting, but i can't get it work as you stated *sigh* (it's really frustated me). i have used the template and allow anon to access the module and blocks. what i get is the anon can still shout. what should i do, to allow anon see the shoutbox and can't shout?
please help.
note: i can't even get rid of the *Anonimous text from the block, even though i have set the 'may_guests_post' value to '0':
SEEMS THAT ANY CHANGES I DID ON THE XOOPSVERSION DOES NOT HAVE ANY EFFECT? Where should I set the setting then?
Re: Shoutbox 3.0 Final
hi karedokx,
What problem are ou exactly experiencing? If you edit the template, you _will_ have to update the module, and if you a custom template set you will have to update that template set as-well.
Goodluck.
Re: Shoutbox 3.0 Final
I want to allow anonymous users to be able to see the shoutbox but unable to post.
I have modified the template as suggested by you, and allow anon users to access the module & blocks through the group setting, but what I get is the anon users can shout still.
The other thing I want to achieve is having the "*Anonymous" text unshown, looking at the template code I saw that it will be shown if 'may_guests_post' is equal to '1', so I have set it as '0' in the xoops_version.php file (update the module & template), but I can't make it works.
Thank you for your response Jan304. Really appreciate your help.
Try this, and allow anonymous users to access shoutbox. Goodluck.
Re: Shoutbox 3.0 Final
How to change (mark red) to have 100% width space. padding = 0px. i try edit at shoutbox.css. but it doesn't work. Can't figure out where's the code.
Thanks in advance.
Re: Shoutbox 3.0 Final
i works flawlessly jan304. thank you very much!
however the setting of may_guests_post, etc is still currently hardcoded? as mentioned in my previous post, changing the value in the xoops_version.php file does not affect anything.
There is still no correct answer on how to get the module on auto refresh.
Re: Shoutbox 3.0 Final
How do I install thiss.
I copy the folder to the modules folder then when I go to add it via admin I get "Module File for shoutbox_30 Not Found!Module File for Not Found!Module File for Not Found!Module File for Not Found!Module File for Not Found!Module File for Not Found!"
Any ideas.
Re: Shoutbox 3.0 Final
How do i adjust the width of the block, it seems too wide when i installed it. The smileys are making the block too wide. If i disable it the width is perfect. anyway i can use the smileys so it does go too wide
Re: Shoutbox 3.0 Final
I love this module, everything works great except for... I'm getting the following page error:
I think it is playing havoc with the auto refresh feature because it does not seem to be working... Any thoughts?
Re: Shoutbox 3.0 Final
Great work, really love it.
Can we set it to only show the shouts, input box and buttons (no popup link, bb code status, etc)? Also, how do we put in a long strings (such as urls) without creating a horizontal scrollbar? Can we force the box to retain a particular width?
Re: Shoutbox 3.0 Final
Does it still require register_globals to be on?
Re: Shoutbox 3.0 Final
Hi, is there anyway to allow guests to view the ShoutBox, but not post in it?
