Nice....good luck! Smile

Gremmie · Posted: Tue Mar 20, 2007 5:33 pm

To make it left justified again under IE, find this line of code in blocks/block-Shout_Box.php:

(note that I had to alter the s~cript tags to post this; ignore that)

Code:

$content .= "<div align=\"center\"><s~cript type=\"text/javascript\">document.write(SBtxt);</s~cript></div>\n";

Change it to

Code:

$content .= "<div align=\"left\"><s~cript type=\"text/javascript\">document.write(SBtxt);</s~cript></div>\n";

You don't need to do that. Follow the instructions that were posted in my messages on these dates:

Using the find all your posts function, those times are not there.

Oh, I'm sorry, the times are probably specific to my time zone. Okay, to summarize the two things I did, I will repost them.

Ok, here is all you have to do to fix this for RavenNuke 2.10.

Open up shoutbox.js and find this line:

(Please ignore the ~ characters I introduced in the event handlers to avoid triggering Sentinel on this message)

Code:

SBtxt='<div style="position:relative;width:100%;height:'+SBheight+';overflow:hidden" on~mouseover="SBspeed=0" on~mouseout="SBspeed=1"><div id="SBiemarquee" style="position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px;width:100%;"></div></div>';

Change this to: (again, you don't need the ~ characters)

Code:

SBtxt='<div style="position:relative;width:100%;height:'+SBheight+'px;overflow:hidden" on~mouseover="SBspeed=0" on~mouseout="SBspeed=1"><div id="SBiemarquee" style="position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px;width:100%;"></div></div>';

All I did was to change ;overflow to px;overflow. Rolling Eyes

All that talk about CDATA, etc., was not needed to make it scroll (although it probably should be added for XHTML compliance). But we will save that for another day.

I have some other observations but I'll post those to another thread.

And

Wow 82 posts on this topic in a little over a week..what monster did i un-earth?

Shoutbox is hugely popular on my womens community site. It's a front and center block and is used almost as much as PMs. It has gone down a couple of times and I seriously don't get any sleep until it's fixed.

Over the years I've added many smilies to this mod and now, unfortunately, there are about 100 of them. I wish there was a way to cache these things, because each page reload goes on and on with loading these darn smilies. I even bought an ajax book, thinking I could write a better block, but alas, my programming skills are still not up to it and maybe it isn't even possible.

Once I removed all but 10 smilies ... bad move. My users went into revolt mode and I got about 100 emails decrying my authoritarianism, calling for even more smilies, and warning me that if I didn't return the smilies I would suffer the consequences of a mass exodus.

Of all the modules on this one site, the Shoutbox is definitely the most loved. I think that is because it's easy instant gratification.

Have a happy nuking day.

Clear your cache after changing the .js file. Go over the edits again carefully...

from this in HEADER.PHP

Quote:

echo '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"'."\n".' "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">'."\n";
echo '<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">'."\n";
// echo "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN\">\n";
// echo "<html>\n";

to this worked,comment out first two lines and uncomment out second two lines, starting on line 41 echo '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC

Quote:

// echo '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"'."\n".' "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">'."\n";
// echo '<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">'."\n";
echo "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN\">\n";
echo "<html>\n";

missed this on first few reads,
thx gremmie ,

Actually you can leave the DOCTYPE at XHTML 1.0 Transitional. The two fixes are here in this post:

Would you mind sending me the shoutbox packaged, and source.

I know of a few issues with Javascript and how its handled in Nuke includes.

Ravennuke is probably the best nuke you'll ever use when it comes to how well it handles.

But in turn a LOT of things need to be done to working(poorly) Javascripts. The last time I went and found one not working it was because of the themes Javascripts that were added.

Thanks Gremmie.

The only changes I made in the shoutbox core files was the 2 you suggested in your Wed March 14, & Tues March 20 posts.

Works like a charm. Cool

I had the same problem. Adding the px in front of overflow fixed it on my site. Thanks for the fix.

darklord did you want me to send you the shoutbox files?

gregexp · Posted: Fri Apr 27, 2007 3:13 pm

Only if you continue to suffer from this, for a more functional shoutbox I am working on one.

One that is designed to cache all images, in one SEPERATE popup.

Also having one that does NOT require reloading the page to see shouts as they continue to be posted.

This is going to take quite a bit of time, I really dont think its better to use previously done shoutboxes so, I will be working on my own version of a shoutbox, completely from scratch.

Like I said, one time page load for smiles, as long as they dont clear out their cache. Currently under developement, I will inform all when complete, please do not pm or email me about it, Thanks.

Damm I have been looking for this solution long.... And all it was to it was px

PS: Installed this nuke on 4 sites so far, and keep using it Smile
