Frequently Asked Questions

Post by Kinfule »

FAQ:
P = Problem
A = Answer
  • P: I don't know what the SQL instructions means.
    A: They are queries you need to run on your database managment tool.
    If you don't know how to run them I would recommend you to read this tutorial or else use Easymod (Search in the ModDB for the lastest version).
  • P: I get this error when inserting the queries to the config table "#1136 - Column count doesn't match value count at row 1"
    A: Some mod you have installed has changed your default config table.
    Try using this queries:

    Code: Select all

    INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) VALUES ('shoutbox_floodinterval', '3');
    INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) VALUES ('display_shouts', '10');
    INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) VALUES ('stored_shouts', '25');
    INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) VALUES ('shoutbox_refreshtime', '4000');
    INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) VALUES ('shout_allow_guest', '1');
  • P: I can't change or I don't see the default configuration of the shoutbox.
    A: Be sure you added the SQL queries.
  • P: I didn't add them, how do I add them?
    A: You need a program like PhpMyAdmin, which comes included almost every hosting packages. One of the first things you should see when you open the program is a text field and a button labelled "go" or something to that effect. You need to paste the SQL stuff you posted here into the box and hit go to execute the queries.
  • How can I have my shoutbox on the index of the forum.
    This feature isn't ready yet. Wait till it's ready and a tutorial will be posted. I wont help you till this feature is ready!
  • P: Can you have the shoutbox have X feature?
    A: I don't guaranty anything but you may post your suggestion and maybe it gets done in the next release of the shoutbox.
  • P: How do I change the refresh rate?
    A: Go to the ACP and in "Configuration" you should find the option there.

Actually the demo will be really a contrib to the mod.

shoutbox.php will just be the shoutbox so it can be included anywhere on your forum(By a include or by an iframe for html pages) and the demo I posted (with the header, footer and a list of online shouters I'm working on) will be in another file called (can be change) chat.php.

The time of the shout is already stored at the DB, I'm thinking if showing it or not.

Thats for sure something to be done, Also there should be the option to hide the shoutbox from guest or let them see it without shouting and let them shout in it.

You choose a bad moment to look at it Matt, I was working on it (Tester says you hello :P)

Please tell me if that happens to you again cause that happened to me while I was fixing the tpl usage but now It should be fixed.

I hope that you has rewritten that script, the scripting is not very well.

It requires register_globals, there is will be at some pagerequest make more then 3 db connections, etc.
I don't say, you must not use it, but I personally think, that you not must use that script.

Ah yes, I thought you talked about the javascript.
Almost all server side script has been rewritten to work with phpBB2, also this mod doesn't use the register_globals.

I'm mainly keeping the javascript with some modifications.

Javascript looks better then the php code, but I believe, you can better use XML for this.
With XML you can better see the difference by messages.
Only thing is that the JS part will be a little bigger.
