: ), : (, : p, : D, ; ), : o...

Thanks LK!!!

LK: is there anyway to add a login button underneath the shout button or something, so that when registered users wanna shout, they dont actually have to goto the board, login, then go back to the homepage where the shoutbox is?

Is this feasible?

LK
How do I get rid of the Delete box and ref?

thanks in advance

ubb_shoutbox.cgi (of course), search for del.gif and remove its line.

Thank you.

Is there a way to add the date or Day of the week that the post was made in the shoutbox?

LK
How do I reduce the Refresh rate, say 20-30 sec? Is it posible?

Thanks

that just shows me how to edit the shout cgi file.. But is there a way to edit the ubb_shouldbox.cgi file so that the date or day of the week displays with the post in the box next to the forum (you know in the browser)?

For example so it would look like this:

04:35 AM, Monday oh, and yeah, nice site.

Okay, I've gotten some questions about how I modified LK's Shoutbox (with his help) to create "Chatbox" at TheGodfatherTrilogy.Net

So, here you go: chatbox_howto.txt

It should be self-explanatory. I don't monitor these boards much, so hopefully you don't have any questions

/jg

Now that's some nice editing of the Shoutbox, jgeoff, and very clear instructions... Nice work

I love this mod, but there's just one thing I'm missing for the way I have it on the site,...I would love to be able to see a list of users that are currently in the chat,...is it possible?

I need your expertize, again, please.

for some reason I lost the ability of deleting lines in the shoutbox and this apllies to everybody, member or Admin.
Strange, because I didnt touch anythings in neither my Iframes or CGI file. Can you think of something?

Thanks in advance

Felix

EDITED

It is a cookies problem. anybody has this problem enable Accept "Third Party Cookies". this will do.

HI,

I tried this and its awsome, thank you!

I'm calling it with the Java in a sidebar.
I do have a slight problem. When I go to delete a message by selecting the delete hot spot I get

Error: No forum selected

so I use my back button and go back. Then if I go out of the forum and come back in, the message was deleted.

I couldn't find anything in this forum about this error so I thought I would ask.

Also anyone have that delshout.gif?

Thanks for any help

Rainner

Rainner, you can use any pic insead of that delshout. I replaced it with a nicer garbage bin, but if really need the original, I think I have it somewhere, let me know.

Hey guys,

There are some really good hacks on this board but I am nervous about messing with my code/script. I am really interested in this shoutbox. How hard is it to install and how hard is it to remove if I don't like it?

Thanks

INSTALL: upload file, chmod 755
UNINSTALL: delete file

the shoutbox is easily the easiest mod to install

Thanks Ian. But when you say upload file, do you mean upload the file to your ubb directory in the root web? Or the cgi directory?

Sorry for being such a newbie.

the cgi directory, and it should be named ubb_shoutbox.cgi
