I probably screwed this up since haven't installed mod in while now but this is what I did.

Downloaded
Put files in same folder on my server as they were in folder I downloaded.
Now I see nothing in admin control panel about shoutbox and for sure know shoutbox on main page but I dunno if it's supposed to.

How or where do I go to find shoutbox.

It works almost perfect >>> http://www.houseplanet.dj/forum/

Anyway I'm looking for few edits:

1. How to decrease date & time size?
2. How to decrease height of the shoutbox? I tried in shoutbox.php
$shoutbox_width = ( !$shoutbox_width ) ? 900 : intval($shoutbox_width);
$shoutbox_height = ( !$shoutbox_height ) ? 350 : intval($shoutbox_height);
But it appears not correctly when I decreased the height.
3. How to add smiles & colors to users?

Thanx for any helping!

@ Kinfule
What do you think about:

Code: Select all

var now = new Date();
var time = Math.round(now.getTime()/1000);

function Time() {
	now = new Date();
	return Math.round(now.getTime()/1000);
}

function resetTime() {
	time = Time();
	refresh_time = 4000;
}

//...

		if (results.length > 2) {
//...
						insertNewContent(results[i+2],results[i+3],results[i+4] ,lastID); 
						resetTime();
//...
		}
		else {
			// no new comment since..
			// 60 seconds
			if ( refresh_time == 4000 & ((time + 60) < Time()) ) {
				// set refresh to 10 seconds
				refresh_time = 10000;
			}
			// 5 minutes
			else if ( refresh_time == 10000 & ((time + 300) < Time()) ) {
				// set refresh to 30 seconds
				refresh_time = 30000;
			}
			// 30 minutes
			else if ( refresh_time == 30000 & ((time + 1800) < Time()) ) {
				// set refresh to 2 minutes
				refresh_time = 120000;
			}
			// 60 minutes
			else if ( refresh_time == 120000 & ((time + 3600) < Time()) ) {
				// set refresh to 5 minutes
				refresh_time = 300000;
			}
		}

I have many users who let the window open for hours and some for days, so this was a good step to reduce server load

Maybe you find a better way. If (yes) { alert('Give feedback'); }

this mod should be adapted for phpBB3 cause we really need a WORKING shoutbox for phpBB3 :/

I just finished installing the style mods for a new style on my forum. For some reason the shoutbox doesn't open fully. All you see is the title. The body of it doesn't open up.

Never mind. I fixed it.

I have tried to implement the shoutbox on my phpbb2 version 2.0.23 and I did everything to the letter.
After I completed all stages I did not see anything appearing on my main board, so I went on to check the Administrator Panel, guessing there would be an added option there.

When I went to the Administration Panel, much to my surprise the main body was ok, but the left sided menu is nowhere. I get an empty frame there, consequently rendering me unable to do ANYTHING administrator wise, to my board, from config, to users, to groups etc...

I reverted to my old files which I backed up before the installation attempt, and even removed the 2 new tables from the SQL plus the values added in the phpbb_config but the Admin left sided frame is still empty. I refreshed my page numerous times, I even cleared all cookies and so on, but still the left frame on the admin panel is empty.

Please help?
