As I understood what you just said, the shoutbox is working fine except it leaves a blank space when a guest is viewing it. This is because you do not want guests to view the shoutbox correct?


If this is the case, then you need to tell the template not to try to show the shoutbox if the user is a guest like so:


I tried to register at your website but haven't been Admin approved yet so I can't see what the shoutbox does for members.

Hope this helps,

Well, it looks like you resolved your problem. I was going to say that I couldn't see any problem in the template that would cause the problem and that it must either be in the installation or configuration of the actual shoutbox script that caused the problem.

It looks like you chose a different shoutbox script as well.

I'm sorry I couldn't have been more help.

I and my boyfriend have created an arcade forum site,

We installed a smf shoutbox mod all of the members can see the smileys when they put them in the shoutbox, the admins on the other hand, can only see square boxes with x's ? We have tried to get someone from simplemachines to help us, we have even had them come to our site, but to no avail? can anyone help us ?

Script Installation Help
SMF - Shout Box Mod Installation

Replying to vujsa

I am trying to install a script for the first time and have to add mysql database fields into the some php files.

I got these instructions and followed them.

1) Create a folder named "responder" on your web server and copy ALL files in that folder. Chmod 777 the folder, temp - DONE

2) Create a new database and run the SQL file, autoresponder.Sql (If your webhost has PHPMyAdmin, you can run the sql file
There) - DONE.

3) Modify the MYSQL database information using the new database you have just created in the file include/globals.Php - DONE

4) Modify the mail account username/password (main email address for domain*) in the file robot/imap_globals.Php.
Note: For $MailHost, the variable is usually yoursite.Com. If you are unsure of your mail server, please contact your host
Administrator - DONE

5) Open the 2 files: signin.Tpl and signin_aff.Tpl found in the folder templates/signin and edit the paypal email address - DONE

6) Add to cron job php responder/robot/check_deliver_broadcast_messages.Php once at a minute - DONE CHANGED '0' TO '1'

7) Add to cron job php responder/robot/check_deliver_followup_messages.Php once at one day- DONE CHANGED '0' TO '1'

8) Add to cron job php responder/robot/check_instant_messages.Php once at a minute - DONE CHANGED '0' TO '1'

Can you help to just check where I am making a mistake as it does not connect to the mysql datbase as it gives an error. Please let me know by email at: ezeemart (at) gmail.Com

Making the shoutbox appear:
This modification will NOT modify any of your themes for you during install - this is to allow you to put the shoutbox where you want it to appear - not where I say! To actually make the shoutbox appear you need to modify the themes to display it. This is a VERY simple process I will take you through below.

Firstly, confirm the installation was successful. You can do this by going to "Feature Settings and Options", if you see some shoutbox options at the bottom of this page the install worked - well done!

Now, you need to edit a template to display the shoutbox. Most people will want the shoutbox to appear on every page - in this case you want to edit the file called index.Template.Php found in each theme directory - the default theme is Themes/default/index.Template.Php

Work out where you want the shoutbox to appear, and add the following code to the template:
Code: [Select]
If (function_exists('smfshout'))
smfshout();

You may find that you want to put the code in the middle of some existing HTML, and if you are not familiar to PHP may find adding this is causing your forum to error. If this is the case replace the code above with:
Code: [Select]
';
If (function_exists('smfshout'))
smfshout();
Echo '

And this should fix the error!

Editing the shoutbox template itself:
If you want to edit how the shoutbox itself looks (for example making the message box bigger, putting it in two columns), you need to look at the shoutbox template. The shoutbox template is in the file called shout.Template.Php, and is located in your Themes/default directory. There are three functions in this file, one does the archive, one does the main shoutbox, and one does the form people shout into. Just edit the HTML in this file to change the appearance of the shoutbox on your site.

Please note, if you do change this file I recommend you keep a copy of the changes you made - as if you upgrade your forum in the future and reinstall the mod - your changes will of course be overwritten!

Putting the shoutbox elsewhere on your site:
If you want ideas for where to put the shoutbox on your page, please read this thread for examples. Note also you can use SSI to add the shoutbox elsewhere on your site - refer to: www.Yoursite.Com/smf/ssi_examples.Php for examples of this!
