vba shoutbox side block

[FD929]

Opens in a new box? Sorry I can't see the site *grumbles* dang work filter. Can you be a little more specific?

I have it correct I think cause my forum works using that info. How do I allow my shoutbox access?

[FD929]

The mySQL error in the shoutbox shows that you are not using a password ... you do have a password. Double check your sql info in /gs/includes/config.php

[Flow Fusion]

I did and why would my forum work if not set to allow access? eh forget it I give up lol.

[FD929]

I don't think you do. If you had it set correctly in the shoutbox.php, you would see the shoutbox instead of the mySQL error. If you'd like to create a test admin I can get it sorted out for you. I would also need ftp access. PM me if you want help.

Did anyone ever find a solution to the problem created when using FD929's coding? Like whenever an unregistered user attempts to enter a shout it refreshes the forum portal into the shoutbox. Any ideas on how to fix?

Also, I didn't like the bulky grey button supplied with the shoutbox, so I used span styling to spruce it up a bit. You can see it here: http://www.socomcity.net/forum/cmps_index.php

The coding I used:

<input type="submit" value="&nbsp;Submit Shout&nbsp;" style="border:1px solid;border-color:#FC9 #630 #330 #F96;padding:0 3px;font:bold 10px verdana,sans-serif;color:#FFF;background:#F60;text-decoration:none;margin:0;">

Things I couldnt figure out were how to center the scroll buttons at the top and the input and submit buttons at the bottom, I wanted them centered but no matter what i tried they wouldnt budge lol so if you have any ideas on that one let me know

If you want to change the alignment of the Scroll Buttons:

<a href="javascript:;" onmouseover="scroll_iframe('shoutbox', -4, 'v'); window.status='Hover here to scroll up.'; return true" onmouseout="stopScroll(); window.status=''; return true"><img src="/forum/images/tri-up.gif" width="20" height="20" alt="" border="0" align="left" valign='top'></a>
	  <a href="javascript:;" onmouseover="scroll_iframe('shoutbox', 4, 'v'); window.status='Hover here to scroll down.'; return true" onmouseout="stopScroll(); window.status=''; return true"><img src="/forum/images/tri-dn.gif" width="20" height="20" alt="" border="0" align="right" valign='top'></a>

Why didnt you just use class="button" instead of border ?
also you can match the shoutbox to your style's. Check here www.ayyas.com change the style and shoutbox colors are changing.

You've already pointed that out.


1359 - Why would you falsely register on my site and spam my shoutbox? I'm aware of the issue and don't have the knowledge for a fix. Further, it'd be great if you could give credit where credit is due on your own site, rather than claiming the "javascript work" as your own.

[Lizard King]

Wtf are you talking about. I never registered your site. Try finding the real guy. I never claimed anything that is made by myself . If you search the other posts I already told I didn't figured out how to get the styles. But you try to be clever by accusing me something.

[FD929]

1359, as pointed out by the "1359 - " genious. Need a shovel?

Great hack. How can I clean the input box after shouting? Last text remains there....

Hi there. Nice hack! I would like to ask too
Is there a way to include the date/time in the shout?

Thanks for help

I'm having a little trouble getting this to work. I received errors when creating the table so I dropped it and reran the query in admincp, no errors. This was the only thing in the instructions that I had a problem with. So now the shoutbox shows up, but I am getting the following error:

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in \global.php on line 362

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in \includes\functions.php on line 2290

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\Inetpub\mr\forum\includes\init.php:27) in \shoutbox.php on line 111

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I've changed mine so that it clears the box onclick. The only limitation is when people submit their shout with the ENTER key rather than clicking on Shout.. but most users don't do this. My shoutbox.php code is below, and I've bolded the relevant bit.

<!-- Shoutbox --> 

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder"width="100%"> 
        <thead> 

<tr><td class="tcat"> 

        <a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('poll$pollinfo[pollid]')"><img id="collapseimg_poll$pollinfo[pollid]" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$collapseimg_poll.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a> 

<span class="smallfont"><strong>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] $mods[title]</strong></span></td></tr> 
        </thead> 
        <tbody id="collapseobj_poll$pollinfo[pollid]" style="$collapseobj_poll">     
<tr><td class="alt1"><span class="smallfont"> 

<iframe marginwidth="2" marginheight="2" name="shoutbox" scrolling="yes" align="middle" frameborder="0" height="150" width="100%" src="shoutbox.php" id="shoutbox"></iframe> 

<form action="shoutbox.php" method="post" target="shoutbox"> 
<input type="hidden" name="setting" value="save" /> 
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="$bbuserinfo[username]" size="20" /> 
<input type="text" name="comment" value="" size="18" maxlength="100" onClick="this.value=''" /> 
<input type="submit" value="Shout" /></form></span> 

</td></tr></table><br /> 

<!-- Shoutbox -->
