Hello Brian... I was wondering is there a way to put a direct link in one of the container boxes?

Yes. The plugin supports HTML.

Hey Brian!

I'm having issues with the footer settings. I have a shoutbox with Your Shoutbox, and a few minutes ago it just disappeared from my forum. The code given to me for the box is

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www4.yourshoutbox.com/shoutbox/start.php?key=365586010"></script>

and I placed it in the footer under your plugin. It has been working perfectly, but as I said, it just recently disappeared. I did try placing it in the ProBoards default footer, to no avail, so I'm thinking it might be a problem on their end and not ours, but I wanted to know if there were any known conflicts.

Thanks!
Lace

@lacihparg, if it's still not working can you link to the forum it's happening on?

It has suddenly reappeared, leaving me happily confused. If it happens again I will be sure to let you know.

Brian, Hello Brian. I'm having trouble with getting the shouts to appear in the side bar.

I have this is one of the content boxes

<div id="move-shoutbox"></div>

and this in the footer of the plug in

<script type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready(function() {
     $('#move-shoutbox').append($('div.shoutbox.container.full'));
});

</script>
<style type="text/css">

.shoutbox.container.full > div {
   border: none;
}

</style

I'm trying to add it to the Black Ominous theme

referraldirectoryforum.com/

I don't know if I missed some step or something. Can you help me? Thanks.

blc, the $[shoutbox] variable isn't present anywhere in Themes > Layout Templates > Forum Wrapper on that theme, causing it not to render even if the shoutbox is enabled. The $[shoutbox] variable should be placed on the line before $[footer].

Brian, it was there earlier when I first tried to get the plug in working. When the shoutbox was empty, I thought maybe I left out some step and all I could think of was that maybe that line needed to come out so it would move. I must have saved and forgot, because at that point I checked a theme on my site that it works on and saw that the line was in there so I put it back, but maybe I didn't save it again.

Thank you. I have these steps/codes saved to notepad and thought maybe I missed something. Really appreciate you taking the time to check.

Brian, I have another question. How do I move the top container bar down so that it is level with the first title bar of the forum?

The sidebar is technically already aligned with the rest of your forum. The only place where this is not the case is the home page of your forum because of the news feed.

Ok, thanks.

Good afternoon, Brian. I hope you're fine this lovely Sunday!

I've added a new container in my sidebar "In the Spotlight". It's the first I preferred not to have a title bar.

In doing so, I've found that I can't modify it with CSS. I've used the right target but it won't show either the confetti background as the other containers do, or the shadowing around the container.

Any ideas why that would be?

♥ ℒʊ√ ♥, you have it set as Style 2 while every other container uses Style 1 which adheres to different CSS selectors.
