[ABD]Ajax Shoutbox 1.2.x

[stuckinlimbo]

I downloaded the 1.2RC1 version from page 1 and that's the one I'm using.

When I go to the .mods tab, I get the following error:

General Error
Language file ajax_shoutbox.php couldn't be opened.

Yes, because ajax_shoutbox.php is not in the correct place.

Please, do me one favour and do not ...

Copy: root/language/en/mods/acp/mods/ajax_shoutbox.php
To: language/en/mods/acp/mods/ajax_shoutbox.php

... but ...

Copy: root/language/en/acp/mods/ajax_shoutbox.php
To: language/en/acp/mods/ajax_shoutbox.php

----------------------------
and caution ...

Copy: root/acp/acp_shoutbox.php
To: includes/acp/acp_shoutbox.php

... is nonsense, it must be

Copy: root/includes/acp/acp_shoutbox.php
To: includes/acp/acp_shoutbox.php

As far as I remember there are one or two more of those gimmicks in install.xml ... hmmm ... the MOD-author is member of the phpBB-MOD-Team ...

Hola,

yes.

In the ACP you set the time span after the shouts will automatically be deleted ("Prune time"). When you set it to e.g. 24 hrs. the MOD will delete the shouts 24 hrs. after they have been saved, and this is logged with LOG_AS_PURGED (as "AS" stands for "Ajax Shoutbox").

And is also a human .
Nobody else reported this mistakes before, so I didnt know about them. If you copy all files directly with the same structure as in the zip its the correct place.

but I think that is where the problem is lying. For example.

The instructions say to copy:

root/language/en/acp/mods/ajax_shoutbox.php into

language/en/acp/mods folder, right?

but there isn't an language/en/acp/mods folder. It just stops at the acp. If you look back at my screen captures, it will show that. So how do I copy all files directly with the same structure as the zip, when the phpbb3 ftp files dont have the same direction?

[Segundo]

Works excellent Paul! Thanks again man!

I am trying to get the Shout to show on viewforum_body.html and viewtopic_body.html

I added the include line those...

and added

Code: Select all

if (!function_exists('as_display'))
{
        include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_shoutbox.' . $phpEx);
}
as_display();

after

Code: Select all

$auth->acl($user->data);

in the viewforum.php and viewtopic.php files.

Purged cache, and they still don't show up.

Any suggestions?

I know that in index.php you add the code after

Code: Select all

$user->setup('viewforum');

but that line isn't in my viewforum.php and viewtopic.php files.

Any help would be much appreciated.

(I browsed most of this thread for an answer- if it's there and I missed it just point me in the right direction.)

Thanks again man!

As I said already, the directory structure in the zip is correct, and the MOD install file is wrong.

Stuckinlimbo, if the folder doesn't exist just create it.

Thanks br3nd4n. I'll try it. But if I remember correctly with 1.0.3a Paul had mentioned that it wasn't a good idea to place the include in the overall_header or footer. I don't remember the repercusions, but I remember something about it. I'll go back and look at that thread. But a definite thanks to you man!

Thanks again man! All I needed was the 'where' to place the code in the .php files. I just placed the includes in the corresponding .html files and it worked just like I wanted.

nice mod, downloaded, wil run it live and help test if see bugs, follow topic by this message

[JirkaX]

Hi, I installed this Mod a few hours ago and have 2 questions:
- Shoutbox size is in FF bigger than in IE (both for 1 posted message) - is that normal?

IE:


FF:


As you can see, there is also alignment problem - text of the message is not in the center from vertical point of view. This problem occurs if user can not modify or delete messages and thus buttons are not displayed ... occurs in IE and also FF. Is there any solution for this?

- I tried to add Shoutbox also to other page, I added 'as_display' code to relevat php file, but this file is not directly in root, so when I tried to view that page in browser, I get this error message:

Code: Select all

'SERVER_ERR'			=> 'There was something wrong while doing a request to the server'

I suppose this is caused because mentioned php file is not in root, yes? What can I do to fix this issue?

[oceanic815]

Hi Paul!

Is there any way for the shoutbox to be at the top of the forum? Right now, it's at the bottom underneath the Statistics. Also, how do I edit the padding from the Post Message button to the top of the container?

Thanks!
