[Done 1.5.2] Ultimate Shoutbox v.1.3

[haase]

***if you downloaded Version 1.3 before May 21st, there is an updated shout.php.  You can download that file HERE

Okay.  This update includes a bunch of suggestions from people here at PfaBB as well as over at YaBB SE.  Most noticible of course is the shout archive, and the admin delete functions that go with it...  but enough of my rambling...  here's some info from the mod file:

Version 1.3:
1. Fixed this boardmod file
2. added SSI (only tested in php version)
3. Fixed shout validation
4. Fixed shout redirect for folders other than $boarddir



There is an upgrade file for those who are currently running v.1.1

The files are available for download Here.  Click the downloads link and look for mods.

[edit]
One thing I did *not* remove was the temp table.  I conducted a series of tests and found that the impact on page create times was around 0.004 seconds.  See the old thread for more info.

*feels REALLY bad...*

Dude, I didn't mean anything by the temporary variables thing.  It's just something most programmers do that I've never understood - I didn't mean anything.  I'm sorry.

Dude...  don't worry about it.  In a way, it was a really good thing because it made me take a much closer look at it, run a bunch of tests.  I feel infinitely better about it now  

[oldiesmann]

Uh... Where's the text in ModSettings? I even changed everything from $shoutbox[number] to $shoutbox['number'] because that's how you have it in the code that you add to modsettings, but it isn't showing up... Try changing everything to $txt['shoutboxnumber']...

[haase]

I just updated the file.  You need to add $shoutbox to the globals in modsettings, and I accidently left that one out of the mod.

The Mod works great!
Any plans for integration into SSI.php?

Ooops!    Thanks for posting that fix.

And thanks for the quick translation!

I'll look at SSI, but that's all new territory for me, so It'll be a while at best.  I don't use the SSI...  I was trying to get it to work one day and it was buggy at best for me, so I just installed the portal (PfaBB).

[oldiesmann]

Ah... I knew there was some reason the text wasn't showing up in the mod settings area... I'll fix it later. I'm updating the version on my Lycos board (still using the other shoutbox for my main board - I like that one better because it's not as "in the way" as this one is).

[oldiesmann]

Ok. Fixed that, but now it doesn't seem to care what I put in the "shout seperator" box, it just keeps the shout seperator as the horizontal rule, even if I put something like <br> in the box.

[haase]

Is that in the box or on the archive page.  The archive page is static on the horizontal rule, because if someone put non-breaking characters as a separator (for a linear shoutbox) it would look really aweful in the archive page.

Also, you did upload the latest version of shout.php?

[oldiesmann]

Ah... I uploaded the latest version of shout.php, but I put it in the wrong folder. I put it in the main folder and not the sources folder... Problem fixed!

[oldiesmann]

Well, I just discovered yet another problem! Now all of the dates are "January 01, 1970"!

[haase]

Yes... that one I know about.  It's because I had to change the date format in the database.  Because all your old shouts are in the old date format, they all come up wrong.  I'm going to be working on another dbmod that will fix that tonight.  In the meantime, your new shouts should be fine.

[oldiesmann]

Ok. Glad you know about that... I set the shouts to scroll up now because I don't have to deal with that kinda annoying horizontal rule anymore... I also like how it stops scrolling if you move your mouse cursor over it... Nice use of code there...

[haase]

You can thank Josh Darnell for the Marquee stuff  

I personally thought that you would be the guy to try using a pipe " | " for the separator, then having the shouts scroll horizontally.  It should look good if you choose ascending, and then scroll direction left.  Set the height to something like 20, and make the width like 500.
