Shoutbox - Link names to profiles

[Burpee]

When viewing the shoutbox you see the names of all the users. It'd be quite nice if those names were linked to their profiles as well.

[Bjørn]

Yes, that can be done. The shoutbox will have a feature to allow guests to shout as well ( not implemented yet) so that have to be taken into account.

[IchBin]

I'm assuming that since your shoutbox is working on this site that you didn't put it in your beta release? I say that because mine does not work.

[Bjørn]

Yes, it should be in. How does it not work...it don't show, or it does not save the shouts?

[redone]

My shoutbox doesn't work either and I don't know why!  Anyone have any ideas? I am logged in when I try this.

[Bjørn]

I will check it out on a fresh install.

[redone]

Mine is fresh install too so I am confused. Is there something I should of done to enable it? I hope it's not something stupid that I could of done myself!

Here's my testing site. http://ichbin.is-a-geek.com
You can see that when you put in a shout and hit the button, nothing gets printed to the shoutbox.

Same here- still setting this forum up its www.britportal.com

I think I have located the problem..it seems to need one more line in one of the modifications:

- Open up index.php in the root folder of the forum and find:

                'tpadmin' => array('TPortalAdmin.php', 'TPortalAdmin'),
                'forum' => array('BoardIndex.php', 'BoardIndex'),

...then add this line right under those:

                'tpmod' => array('TPmodules.php', 'TPmodules'),

I think that should do it. I will update the archive right away with this.

[IchBin]

Thanks for the fix. It now works properly.

[redone]

Worked for me too! Thanks a lot.

Excuse me, Bloc, I've try to show you how shoutbox response to the bbcode pre which can extend it display. And I think that really need some pre-cautions about mis-usage like spams without character limits.

[Bjørn]

Yes, I saw it, and a great demonstration too. I will definitely change some of the code there. As I wrote in the shoutbox, only smilies are really needed. Plus a limit for one single shout.

[borgBOB]

My shoutbox only links the username for the last shout. Not sure why.
SMF v 1.0.2 Tiny Portal v.0.5 beta.  Helios TP skin/theme.

[Bjørn]

Yes, I see it. Strange, I can't seem to duplicate this. Did you use a fresh install of TP beta5 or the update from beta4?

[borgBOB]

I used the update from v0.4 beta. I also applied the TP Bugfix-beta5.zip

I updated to v0.5beta 3-17-2005, early in the day.

[borgBOB]

Yes, I see it. Strange, I can't seem to duplicate this. Did you use a fresh install of TP beta5 or the update from beta4?

I have noticed as new 'shouts' are entered, the links work. User name is a clickable link.

[Bjørn]

Good... I did not realize that it had "old" shouts , they don't contain the links naturally, since it wasn't saved prior to beta5.
