last post shoutbox

[Tiffy-Bean]

worked this time. Thank you. Is there any way I can get it to grab also their avatar or at least the name of the person who posted it?

Thanks!

try this:

Move Last Shoutbox Post.pbp (743 B)

Edit: Corrected plugin. V. 1.1.1 is most recent.

[Tiffy-Bean]

now it says null null null. I've realized if it kind of defeats the purpose of what I need this plugin for if they have to go back to the shoutbox to have it refresh. I wanted it to be like a most recent status to let members know to go check it, or to know something is new. If they have to check it for this to appear, it doesn't really help.

I moved it into a sidebar at the very top to the left.

Can I hide the shoutbox on the forum wrapper and have it appear that way? hmmm novel idea.

yes just wrap a hidden div around it

<div style="display:none;">
$[shoutbox]
</div>

[Tiffy-Bean]

I used    <script>
$('.shoutbox').hide('.shoutbox');
</script> on the home page footer to hide a secret shoutbox on he main page ...but now it's appearing as the bottom post instead of the top post.  

but your way of doing it is better.  Gonna go with your way.

[Tiffy-Bean]

Okay did all that and now they appear, except now that I'm having the problem that though the post appears (and from the bottom not the top like it's supposed to), it's also dragging in the name of the person from shoutbox comments from an interfering plugin: Shoutbox Comments.  Regretting helping me yet?  I'm so sorry.

move mine above the "Shoutbox Comments". i'll try to take a look later this week.

[Tiffy-Bean]

If I push your plugin above the Shoutbox Comments it works but has a null in there extra still from the comments plugin. So, I have no problem putting your plugin above the comments, but how do we get rid of the extra null?  And make it from the top again instead of the bottom?  

Sorry to be such a hassle, and of course.  Take your time.  You've been working on this all day for me.  I really appreciate you taking a stab at it.

i'm not sure about the null but I think I can correct the other issue. I'll try to have this done by weeks end or beginning of next week

So, update, and don't worry this isn't me trying to rush you on this just trying to keep you informed. I tried disabling the post comments plugin and it did nothing about the null so I don't think that's what it's coming from. Not sure what's going on with that.

have you modified the shoutbox template in any way?

there's no way to automatically grab the last post of the shoutbox except for where it's visible, hence why you have it hidden on the forum, it won't be visible but will still grab the post since it's still on the page.

the plugin simply grab's the last post info from any page it's on and when on a page it's not on it show's the last post via local storage where it's saved at.

does that make any sense?

Yes it makes sense. Hiding the shoutbox on the page was my solution to that and it works perfectly because of that.  Yes, my shoutbox is modified.

It's now showing the bottom post instead of the top post on the shoutbox since there's no longer the option on the plugin to pick top or bottom to grab it from.
