Trying to move shout box from front page, to members only

Hi

Open up yourForum Wrapper template. and look for the $[shoutbox] tag. If you put that tag in to an if statement, it will only show on the board specified and no other pages:

{if $[route.params.board_id] == "123"}
$[shoutbox]
{/if}

Change the 123 to the respective board's id.

Any problems, let us know

Hi Craig! THanks for the assistance. Well, it seemed to work, but it also broke something and is still appearing on the front/main forum page as well.

Haha, fun thing with codes, can be a hassle trying to get it to work as intended. Well. I am not sure what to do now.

Well I am a visual person, so here is a pic showing it still on the front page (but now randomly appearing at the top of the forum for some reason lol)

it slows down the loading page now and shows this for a second or two before loading up

and lastly, it does show up on the board I want it to show up on (as well as the front page) but its at the top again as well, it would be nice to get it to display at the part that says "no threads were found" but I understand if it's only possible to move it to the original shout box location.

I hate to make this more complicated but hopefully we can fix this pretty easily.

Thanks again and hope to hear back

Edit: could this be happening because I have the board set to members only? Or because I have it enabled that guests can shout? Would either of those make it mess up in this capacity?

You appear to have a stray $[shoutbox] variable inserted at the beginning of Themes > Layout Templates > Forum Wrapper. Removing that should fix the issue.

Haha oh my goodnes, I knew I clicked on something I should not have when I was tinkering with it originally. Must have inserted the shoutbox code when clicking on the shoutbox text within the forum wrapper.

as always, thanks again Brian!

Much appreciated. It moved swiftly, and now it is in the board it is meant to be in. All is in accordance. Much thanks! I really appreciate it.
