MODS.DB9.DK

[la]

Ok.

Since my last post I have figured a few things out for myself.

#1 When installing ANY MOD EM or MANUAL, READ THE README.

#2 Read Read Read .. I posted a couple posts that had already been addressed in previous posts.

Now then... New Issue that I have NOT seen Covered thus far

-----------

I am using shoutbox_1.1.5em (as of this post the most recent version)
and phpBB 2.0.17 (The Newest Release as of this post)

My first attempt was unsuccesful due to the fact I did not read the README thus I didnt know to run the update.php first to create the needed SQL database.

Ok, So I manually went back in and deleted EVERYTHING related to shoutbox_1.1.5em from all files in the phpbb directory.

Then I ran the update.php and created the databases.

I then tried to reinstall shoutbox_1.1.5em from the ACP, however, since it had already been installed once, and I did not know how to delete that entry wherever it may be.. I did it manually.

Well, Everything went ok. I was able to manually do it.. BUT..
I had a problem.

When I logged into my ADMIN account, and tried to sign in to ACP, I got parse errors.

I returned here and seen that these issues were already posted on. but had NO solutions. SO I went back and removed any code in reference to shoutbox_1.1.5em from the following 2 files

Code: Select all

admin_db_utilities.php and admin_board.php

Now I could go back and see my ACP, just have no way to manage Shoutbox


The problem I had was when I edited the admin_board.php

Per the README I was suppose to do this

Code: Select all

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------------
#
"L_ENABLE_PRUNE" =>

#
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#

// Start add - Fully integrated shoutbox MOD
'L_PRUNE_SHOUTS' => $lang['Prune_shouts'],
'L_PRUNE_SHOUTS_EXPLAIN' => $lang['Prune_shouts_explain'],
// End add - Fully integrated shoutbox MOD

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------------
#
"PRUNE_NO" =>

#
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#

// Start add - Fully integrated shoutbox MOD
'PRUNE_SHOUTS' => $new['prune_shouts'],
// End add - Fully integrated shoutbox MOD

When I found

Code: Select all

"L_ENABLE_PRUNE" =>

it had

Code: Select all

$lang['Enable_prune'],

right after it.

Well who am I to argue with the readme..

Same for

Code: Select all

"PRUNE_NO" =>

has

Code: Select all

$prune_no,

after it.

Well.. Then on to the admin_db_utilities.php

Per the README I am to do this :

#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------------
#
admin/admin_db_utilities.php

Code: Select all

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------------
#
$tables = array(

#
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#

// Start add - Fully integrated shoutbox MOD
$tables[] = 'shout';
// End add - Fully integrated shoutbox MOD

Now.. Right after

Code: Select all

$tables = array(

I have this

Code: Select all

$tables = array('auth_access', 'banlist', 'categories', 'config', 'disallow', 'forums', 'forum_prune', 'groups', 'posts', 'posts_text', 'privmsgs', 'privmsgs_text', 'ranks', 'search_results', 'search_wordlist', 'search_wordmatch', 'sessions', 'smilies', 'themes', 'themes_name', 'topics', 'topics_watch', 'user_group', 'users', 'vote_desc', 'vote_results', 'vote_voters', 'words', 'confirm');

So to impliment the new code it looked like this when I was done

Code: Select all

$tables = array(// Start add - Fully integrated shoutbox MOD
$tables[] = 'shout';
// End add - Fully integrated shoutbox MOD 'auth_access', 'banlist', 'categories', 'config', 'disallow', 'forums', 'forum_prune', 'groups', 'posts', 'posts_text', 'privmsgs', 'privmsgs_text', 'ranks', 'search_results', 'search_wordlist', 'search_wordmatch', 'sessions', 'smilies', 'themes', 'themes_name', 'topics', 'topics_watch', 'user_group', 'users', 'vote_desc', 'vote_results', 'vote_voters', 'words', 'confirm');

In any case.. I had the same parse problems with both, so maybe if someone knows the answer it would be great to know what I am missing.


Now, Problem 2, which has been discussed in other threads, however, maybe a different solution is possible since none of the others helped me.

I am using the THEME RedSquare, which had been modified only .gif wise

I took the advise of someone who posted to edit the table.tpl file to reduce the size so it did not expand all across the screen

I modified the code by changing 100% to 47%

Code: Select all

<!-- Start add - Fully integrated shoutbox MOD -->
<table width="47%" cellspacing="2" border="1" align="center" cellpadding="2" class="forumline">
      <tr>
         <td align="center" nowrap="nowrap" class="catHead"><span class="cattitle"><a href="{U_SHOUTBOX_MAX}">{L_SHOUTBOX}</a></span></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <td>
          <iframe src="{U_SHOUTBOX}" scrolling="NO" width="[color=red]47%[/color]" height="180" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" allowtransparency="true"></iframe>
         </td>
  </tr>
</table>
<br/>
<!-- End add - Fully integrated shoutbox MOD -->

Ok.. Great.. Its smaller, but as you can see.. that only shrunk the Border, which leaving half the box just grey. Please look here

Any suggestions for that?


Sorry to have rambled on, but I wanted to be as thorough as possible.

You have to add it after the WHOLE line, and not inline, except when the action contents the word INLINE

The second problem isn't visible without registering. Do you have a test account or change the style for guests.

But I think it will fix by making the width of the I frame 100%, now you have 47% from 100% width from the table
