[Done 1.5.2] Ultimate Shoutbox v.1.3

[oldiesmann]

I'm not scrolling them horizontally... I'm scroling them vertically (upward). I may try horizontally later.

It would be very nice if some-one can make a SSI version of this.

[haase]

It was just pointed out to me that there were a few validation errors.  Some validation fields were not updated to pull values from english.lng.  If you've already installed this mod, all you need to do is download the package and upload the file shout.php.

Sorry about that.

It's in the works.  As a matter of fact, I'm doing the final testing on it now.

[haase]

There is a slightly newer version availble.  Some of the validation wasn't working correctly (allowing a few blank shouts to go in), and the shout should now work on subdirectories.

And I did put the ssi piece in, but I could only get it to work with the php version.  For some reason, none of the shtml includes would work on my site.  If someone could try it out and let me know what happens, I'd appreciate it.

The actual german translation is very "ugly"/funny - OMG... Perhaps I'll make a slightly new one.

Have I done something wrong?

I have out tup the shoutbox, it is is my mod settings, but it is not coming up on my page?

any ideas, I am a still a newbie with these mods, but i thought i had done it right. also the shout.php is in the sources folder.

Thanks

[tamalyn]

ha ha, its ok, I fixed it. i am just a bit dumb today!

thanks

Hmmm... That horizontally-scrolling thing is pretty cool! I'll have to fix the height and width later... I'm busy sprucing up my moods mod. I found one bug and one "annoyance bug" (something that's not exactly a bug, but is pretty annoying).

is there anyway to make the shoutbox pick up the local time of the member and not the server time??

hmm...  it looks like I somehow left that half implemented.  How strange.

Try this (untested) code:

Open up shout.php and find:

Code Select Expand

$endmarq = "</marquee>";


add after:

Code Select Expand


   $oldtime = (isset($settings[18]) ? $settings[18] : 0);


[PioneeR]

nope didnt work  

I suppose it needs to take into account the time offset (set in the admin bit) and also the offset the member may set.

[haase]

hmmm...  you know, that's really weird because later in the code, you see:

Code Select Expand

   $time = lang_strftime($r['time'] + (($timeoffset + $oldtime) * 3600));


Where $timeoffset is the server time-offset, and the code I suggested sets $oldtime as the user's offset (settings[18]).

So this should show for the user every shout that was posted in reference to their own time.

The time that is stored in the database is still the server time.

So if you are east cost, and the server is west cost, and someone from the west coast makes a shout at 2:00 PM, it shows up to you as 5:00 PM.  It shows up to them at 2:00 PM.  It shows up to someone in Mountain time as 3:00 PM, etc.

[PioneeR]

there server I use is 5 hours behind me. I have set yabb's offset to 5. the time is correct.

My profile offset is set to 0

yet when i shout, it seems to display the server time  

[haase]

Okay...  I see...

Try adding $timeoffset in the list of globals under shout_reader().  This would be line 6.

Also, if you can try changing the offset in your profile and see how that affects the display, I'd appreciate it.

Tonight when I get home, I'll publish a new shout.php file.  This will fix the shout archive also, and there are a couple of other cosmetic things I want to clean up.

I appreciate your help with this one.
