Hi guys, you'll need to edit your template to include the shoutbox.

Open:
    [/tab]Themes > default > index.template.php

Add in the template where you want the shoutbox:
[tab]smfshout()
=OR=
    [/tab]', smfshout() ,'

Use the first command if you are not inside an echo command.
And use thae second command if you are inside a echo command.

Here is what I did:
Find:
CODE
// The "key stats" box.
echo '
    <div class="headertitles" style="width: 260px;"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/blank.gif" height="12" alt="" /></div>
    <div class="headerbodies" style="width: 260px; position: relative; background-image: url(', $settings['images_url'], '/box_bg.gif);">
     <img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['user']['language'], '/keystats.gif" style="position: absolute; left: -1px; top: -16px;" alt="" />
     <div style="height: 35px; padding: 5px;" class="smalltext">
      <b>', $modSettings['totalMessages'], '</b> ', $txt[95], ' ', $txt['smf88'], ' <b>', $modSettings['totalTopics'], '</b> ', $txt[64], ' ', $txt[525], ' <b>', $modSettings['memberCount'], '</b> ', $txt[19], '<br />
      ', $txt[656], ': <b> <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=profile;u=', $modSettings['latestMember'], '">', $modSettings['latestRealName'], '</a></b>
     </div>
    </div>';

echo '
   </td>
  </tr>';


Add After:
CODE
// The "shoutbox" box.

echo '
  <tr>
   <td align="left">

<!-- // Shout Box Script Start-->

    <div class="headertitles" style="margin-right: 5px; position: relative;"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/blank.gif" height="12" alt="" /></div>
    <div class="headerbodies" style="position: relative; margin-right: 5px; background-image: url(', $settings['images_url'], '/box_bg.gif);">
     <img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['user']['language'], '/shoutbox.gif" style="position: absolute; left: -1px; top: -16px;" alt="" />
     <div style="overflow: auto; padding: 5px;" class="smalltext">',smfshout(),'</div>
    </div>

<!-- // Shout Box Script End-->

   </td>

   <td align="center">
    <!-- // blank table cell here -->
   </td>
  </tr>';
[tab]    I actually use the blank table cell for a translation box from www.altavista.com.

This will give you a box similar to the News Flash box. You'll need to create a shoutbox.gif and place it in your images directory.

Additionally, I edited the shout.template.php to customize the look of the shout box.

Happy Modding, cool.gif

i've the changes to moy index.template.php but i've received an error sad.gif

QUOTE
Template Parse Error!
There was a problem loading the /Themes/default/index.template.php template or language file. Please check the syntax and try again - remember, single quotes (') often have to be escaped with a slash (\). To see more specific error information from PHP, try accessing the file directly.

You may want to try to refresh this page or use the default theme.


This is the code as i changed it

CODE

// The "key stats" box.
echo '
    <div class="headertitles" style="width: 260px;"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/blank.gif" height="12" alt="" /></div>
    <div class="headerbodies" style="width: 260px; position: relative; background-image: url(', $settings['images_url'], '/box_bg.gif);">
     <img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['user']['language'], '/keystats.gif" style="position: absolute; left: -1px; top: -16px;" alt="" />
     <div style="height: 35px; padding: 5px;" class="smalltext">
      <b>', $modSettings['totalMessages'], '</b> ', $txt[95], ' ', $txt['smf88'], ' <b>', $modSettings['totalTopics'], '</b> ', $txt[64], ' ', $txt[525], ' <b>', $modSettings['memberCount'], '</b> ', $txt[19], '<br />
      ', $txt[656], ': <b> <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=profile;u=', $modSettings['latestMember'], '">', $modSettings['latestRealName'], '</a></b>
     </div>
    </div>';

echo '

echo '
 <tr>

 <a href="#" onclick="shrinkHeader(!current_header); return false;"><img id="upshrink" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', empty($options['collapse_header']) ?

You're missing a closing quote.

CODE
==============================================================================
    [/tab][tab]    </div>
    [/tab][tab]</div>';

echo '
    [/tab][tab]</td>
    </tr>';
// The "shoutbox" box.

echo '
    <tr>
    [/tab][tab]<td align="left">

<!-- // Shout Box Script Start-->

==============================================================================

This should do it for you.

Good luck to you.
Once you get it to work, you'll be able to more easily see how you can customized the template to suit your needs.

Happy Shouting, cool.gif

Thanks vujsa! I just remembered that I was using a different theme.

So I carried out those commands and got a fatal error, so then I couldn't open any of the forum pages so i went and reinstalled the Subs file and now my shop is giving me problems...so fustrating.

On a related note, the Shop MOD is really interesting and it is really simple to deploy new items that can annoy your members but also let them have so much fun. I created my own STEAL item which randomly guessed whether the steal was successful and if it wasn't the person trying to steal money lost theirs. And I was creating a button on the profile that you could click to steal their money, but now I can't...I just hope I dont have to reinstall the whole thing again!!

Your mods will probably be screwed if you upload subs.php again, its one of the core files along with load.php. If you can go into your admin panel and remove the mod using the uninstaller and then install again, yeah the shop mod is a weird shop alright.

We're happy to help. Glad to hear that everything is working for you now.

Now you can try to customize the script further for you specific needs.
Alway backup the file you're going to work of first.

Let us know if you run into further problems.
