[ABD] AJAX Chat/Shoutbox MOD 2.0.0 Beta 8

[UKCPirate]

I have come armed with images

HERE

'guestwithoutshout.jpg' is the guest view with someone logged in but no chat. 'guestwithchat.jpg' is after a message has been entered.

I only noticed when I was making these images the whole row with the message entry and Online List title is completly missing. Isn't the column width set there?

On another note, is it possible to stop access to the shoutbox from h**p://blahblah/root/chat.php. I would like it if you had to go to my radio page to view it.

Thanks

P.S. I'm using IE7

I'm having issues when the chat does some database interactions. I guess the amount of use the shoutbox is getting is causing the database some stress when moving that many posts. Is there any way for me to make the background stuff occur more often, thus hopefully alleviating 'lag ups'?

Hey!
I checked your site with IE7 and its all fine :-/ so what will fix it ?

[Dj-iceman]

well?

sounds like it's a width problem because of your width constraint on the entire forum… you'll have to mess with the widths in the style part of chat_body.html till it looks good.

[Dj-iceman]

ok.

[Dj-iceman]

aww c'mon i dont know how to mess around with a thing like that :S you do it its yao shoutbox anyway my site width is 820

Greetings, Grooveplugs, and once again, thanks for a wonderful mod.

I'm wondering if it would be possible to decrease the width, increase the height, and place the shoutbox on the right side of my phpBB3 forum, parallell to the forum listings, and what I would have to edit to do this?

You would only have to edit the style in the chat_body.html
the code that djiceman posted right above your post has the style stuff that needs to be change.
the width is set to 95% currently, so that should tell you what you need to edit… also the height is set at 300px.

It sounds like you're looking to make it quite small… in that case, you would want to lop off the users online section in both the top and bottom template sections of chat_body.html.

I've been working on a few updates lately, so here is a little update (won't be available till at least mid june due to other mods being created)
I just came up with a few updates to cut the strings down if somebody posts a long unbreaking word.
I also changed the way the javascript performs the new posts, so it doesn't refresh everything in there… which can be a pain for load time and images.

I am stupid. I decided to try this mod on my live forum with the attitude "oh, well if it doesn't work i can just undo all of the code..." So it didn't work. It made the forum all big with error messages at the top.

I had installed phpBB3 just the day before, so i just moved it back to the original forum, but i want to change it back very soon.

So I did undo all of the code (the install file didn't work) and yet it's still all messed up! Can anyone tell me what I did wrong?

edit:

And here's all of the files i've changed as they currently are if it helps:
