[slasherx]

i tried your way exatly..but still i get this error..


can you tell exatly how u did..please..thnx..
ps: nice site !!

warning: fopen() [function.fopen]: Unable to access scret/logs.php in /home/www/free/xhost.ro/miu.xhost.ro/pic/shout/includes/functions.inc.php on 872

warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: stat failed for scret/logs.php in /home/www/free/xhost.ro/miu.xhost.ro/pic/shout/includes/funtions.inc.php on line 874

these are the errors which are killing me..

[Ross(SE-MI)]

Hi slasherx,
This mod is pretty straight forward and shouldn't effect your functions.inc.php file at all unless you chaged something you originally had in anycontent.php to cause your error.
First test to see if you installed shoutbox properly by viewing it by itself through your browser.
In your browser type   http://www.yoursitename.com/shout/shoutbox.php

See this link of my shout on how it looks by itself.
http://www.metaldetectingpics.com/shout/shoutbox.php

If you can't get that working, look for support on G-Shout here:
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=439068

If G-Shout is working OK, ask for help with adding general code to your anycontent.php file from this group.
Perhaps list what you have in this file.
Sorry, I am not a programmer. I do everything by trial and error till I get it working.

[Joachim Müller]

some webhosts disable fopen() for security reasons. If your webhost did, you can't use this mod. You might want to try to add

Code Select Expand

ini_set("allow_url_fopen","1");right before the first fopen call, maybe your webhost let's you override the restriction.
Another thing to look into is of course permissions - CHMOD accordingly.

[slasherx]

yeah i guess i cant change it due to the restictions and security of the web host..
so i wish to ask..is there any suitable shout box which is the same as the one at hand..?
thanks aloot and i really apprcite the fast replies here
thans again..

[pcboy123]

dont work for me

[simoxy]

it doesn't work for me either. Can't get the script to install?

[Joachim Müller]

those two above postings are not valid bug reports nor good postings to request help: saying "doesn't work for me" doesn't mean anything at all . Get the shoutbox to work as standalone app first. If it works, integrate it into your coppermine page. If you expect help, post what you did, what error message you got, and maybe a link or screenshot to illustrate your issues. If you have nothing to say, then don't.

[Ross(SE-MI)]

I am so sorry, I gave you all incorrect info.
I just realized that I did not use G-Shout as my shoutbox mod.

I actually used SHOUT! written by James R Fleeting.
Here is the correct download link:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=145380&package_id=159886&release_id=347003

Install and test this as a stand alone mod before adding to your gallery.
Then see my instructions for adding to gallery above.

Again, I am very sorry for this error.

[pcboy123]

lol
thanks for the correction

no wonder it didnt work for me

lol!!

good job any ways

[Ross(SE-MI)]

Added click able Smilies and also showing my changes to authors original script.

Very god mod!
I have some suggestions
It'll be god if there is a script to check if there is blank text areas.
Text areas to be blank, not like this "you@somewhere.com"
Can I see the old shouts after some time. Is there something like, page1, page2 etc.
From where to change the color of "Horisontal Line" between posts?

[Ross(SE-MI)]

However, I am not a programmer. I can only mimic codes from others.
I have tried asking for help from authur of this shoutbox mod but he doesn't seem interested in modifiying his code.
I am still trying to get shoutbox to recognize logged in user name. I think because the box is shown as an in-line frame it won't pick up cookies from gallery. Can't figure out how to set up includes properly.
I do like the simplicity of this mod though. To see older shouts, just change in config more shouts to be shown and use scrool bars.

Check if the text area is blank and then what... stop the user from shouting?

[crxman]

somebody knows any shoutbox that can keep user register and post with their login, we can imagine then that people won't be able to shout if they are not registred ...

If you know a script please let me know

Hello,

I've upload all the file and set the config. But it seems that it's not working the shout is not shown on gallery.

here's my setting :

Code Select Expand

endtable();
starttable("100%");
