for those of you who don't know where to add "<sf_shoutbox>" look at this Image

Problem: the shoutbox won't appear.
FIX: make sure you have successfully transfered the plugin files and that "<sf_shoutbox>" has been written in the correct file.

Problem: the Shoutbox says "loading....".
FIX: make sure you have successfully transfered the java script file and that "<sf_shoutbox>" has been written in the correct file.

NOTE: this works only on SOME templates, not all

4a. Edit the template 'index' (under "Index Page Templates" template group), find:

Code:

{$header}
add below:

Code:

<sf_shoutbox>

4b. Edit the header template, and add <sf_shoutbox> somewhere towards the end, or wherever you would like the shoutbox to be displayed.

it keeps saying "loading" for ever. I followed intructions twice and doubled checked. I already tryed to reinstall it three times! But it still doesn't work. I'm using safari but I also tested it in FF without luck. I'm running MyBB 1.4.4. My URL is http://otakuflame.co.cc/forum it's on the buttom of the forum. (I also tried by putting it in the header, but it still doesn't work.)

I have it and activated it but don't see it anywhere also edited the template.

Shoutbox works fine, I inserted it in the beginning of footer.
I wonder (I'm PHP and MyBB lame) how can I enable shoutbox for members and hide from guests? What do I have to add?

P.S. I modified spicefuse_shoutbox.php inserting if($mybb->user['uid']) { ... in function sb_show_shouts($last_id = 0), but I'd like the whole shoutbox box to be hidden for guests. Into which function I have to add it?

I installed the SpiceFuse SEO mod, and since the shoutbox uses the old style links, i desided to update it so it also used the SEO links.

Here is what i did

Open %forumroot%/inc/plugins/spicefuse_shoutbox.php (be sure to make a BACKUP before doing this)

Find this code:
#1

add below this code:

Find this code:
#2

Replace with:

Then do it again (there is 2 places for each)

This removes the $extra var which I'm not sure what exactly it does, but my forum wasn't using it. Also it leaves uppercase letters in usernames. I don't see any issues with this, but if there are, you could replace #1's code like this:

Also this edits the links in the "View Full Shoutbox" link.

Live preview of this working : http://mech.me/forum/index.php

I am not a php expert or mybb forum expert, but I am learning

Enjoy the tweek.

Hi i also having the problem that the box won`t show up.

i think i try`d everything mentiont here but still no result, i just don`t see anything on the page.

the forum is @ this url:
No need for watching it anymore

i realy don`t know enything else to try so hopefully there is an solutin for it/

thanx

looks when i look at the source, the code is incomplete, this is the part in the index

<!-- start: sf_shoutbox -->

<!-- end: sf_shoutbox -->

you see it fills nothing in there:/

EDIT: ok got it working now i followed these steps on http://spicefuse.com/spicefuse-ajax-shou...-t-69.html
starnge but true it workes now, the steps are the same, the progress off installing is easyer becouse of the automatic input on the templates, i try so many thing but this worked for me
