If you've recently disabled your shoutbox then please read the "TIPS" section in the first post of this thread for the reason and the remedy.  Version 0.9.9 (not in library) which incorporated a request in this post offers an alternative not involving the shoutbox, if interested in that solution I'll gladly provide details.


If I am misunderstanding the problem you've described then feel free to set me on the correct path.

Tips

• If you define custom smiley emoticons in your admin panel this plugin has no access to that data so if you wish those custom smileys to show up in the plugin then enable the shoutbox so the plugin can grab them from the shoutbox, you can still hide the shoutbox, if that is what you wish, by editing the shoutbox template so it becomes hidden but remains enabled

Gibby , I'm not seeing a shoutbox when viewing your forum as a guest yet I see the underlying shoutbox data (including the smileyList) being supplied to the page so it looks like you may have additional template mods which removes it for guests (not just hide through CSS since it does not even appear in HTML source).

If you post what you have for the template that should help to pinpoint the problem, there are quite a few incidents in this very thread where the omittance or incorrect placement of a quotation mark, for example, proved to be the difference between success and failure.

Eton I am having the same problems as Gibby. I have the Shoutbox in my Layout Template set to Display None but it still shows up. If I disable it then my Regular Smilies will not show up in the Quick Reply.

@christine1966, in your situation I can actually see the shoutbox when viewing the forum as well as see an obvious mistake that was made when someone edited the layout template. If you post what you currently have for the template that should help to pinpoint the problem, there are quite a few incidents in this very thread where the omittance or incorrect placement of a quotation mark, for example, proved to be the difference between success and failure.

Sure here you go Eton. I assume you mean the Shoutbox template.
<div class="$[shoutbox_class] container full">style ="display:none">
<div class="title-bar"><h2>Shoutbox</h2></div>
<div class="content">
{if $[welcome_message]}
<div class="pad-all-double content-box shoutbox_welcome_message">
$[welcome_message]
</div>
{/if}
<div class="shoutbox_container orientation-$[reply_box_position] {if !$[can.post]}no-post{/if}">
<div class="$[shoutbox_posts_class]" style="height: $[height];" aria-live="polite">
{if $[shoutbox_posts]}
$[shoutbox_posts]
{else}
<b>There are no posts here.{if $[can.post]} Start the conversation {if $[reply_box_position] == 'bottom'}below{else}above{/if}.{/if}</b>
{/if}
</div>
{if $[can.post]}
<div class="shoutbox_form_container">
$[shoutbox_form.header]
<div class="shoutbox_name">
{if $[shoutbox_form.guest_name.input]}
Shout as: $[shoutbox_form.guest_name.input]
{else}
Shouting as: $[current_user]
{/if}
</div>
<div class="shoutbox_form content-box">
$[shoutbox_error]
$[refresh_button]
$[reply_box_buttons]
$[shoutbox_form.message.input]
$[message_character_count]
$[post_button]
$[cancel_button]
</div>
$[shoutbox_form.footer]
</div>
{/if}
</div>
</div>
</div>

Thank you MSG that fixed it.

[Chris]

 

<div class="$[shoutbox_class] container full">style ="display:none">

(only needed to overwrite that angle bracket I colored red with a space)

It may have appeared to work @christine1966 but is in fact working too well. The style as it shows in the image is meant to be an inline attribute thus hiding only the shoutbox. If you examine your forum now you'll see that not only the shoutbox has disappeared but also a number of things that normally follow the shoutbox such as your copyright notice and more importantly the bottom ad along with the "This forum hosted for FREE..." which cannot be removed unless you are paying for ad-free service. You'll also find that some of your scripts such as Extra Smilies and IP Lookup, may have stopped working.

All that needed to be done was to replace that red > with a space so it looks like the line in the posted picture.

[Former Member]

 Eton I didn't even notice that afterwards. That fixed it and everything is back as it should be.

And for lending a hand too Lynx, it's good to see someone willing to



...besides {{Wormo}}

[Lynx]

Thank you, Chris. But, my solution was wrong.

[Chris]

And the next time you will know that the solution was too aggressive, see the trend? Your willingness to help (and learn from your own mistakes and the mistakes of others) has already made you a better helper.
