Code Select Expand

global $settings;

$tp_prefix = $settings['tp_prefix'];
   
   $request = db_query("SELECT * FROM {$tp_prefix}variables WHERE type='shoutbox'  ORDER BY value2 DESC LIMIT 1", __FILE__, __LINE__);
if (mysql_num_rows($request) > 0)
{
  $shouts='';
  while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($request)){
  $shouts .= '"[<i>'.doUBBC($row['value1'],true).'</i>]"';
  $shouts .='~[<b>'.$row['value3'].'</b>]';
  }
  echo $shouts;
  mysql_free_result($request);
}

Something like that maybe?

Also notice the changed code in original block. The tp_doUBBC is replaced by just doUBBC.

does it go in a phpblock? or a java/html block?

nvm i got it. and thanks!! it works great!

i'll edit it just a bit since i wanted it to display as:

"last shout"
                               ~member



perfect! here's my code now.

Code Select Expand

global $settings;

$tp_prefix = $settings['tp_prefix'];
   
   $request = db_query("SELECT * FROM {$tp_prefix}variables WHERE type='shoutbox'  ORDER BY value2 DESC LIMIT 1", __FILE__, __LINE__);
if (mysql_num_rows($request) > 0)
{
  $shouts='';
  while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($request)){
  $shouts .= '<i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">"'.doUBBC($row['value1'],true).'"</span></i>';
  $shouts .='<br /><span style="position:relative; left: 200px;">~<b>'.$row['value3'].'</b></span>';
  }
  echo $shouts;
  mysql_free_result($request);
}

and 1 more thing. is there a way for the shoutbox to not recognize useless line breaks?

for example. one can typ in a single word and press enter 11 times. (creating 11 line breaks) and all of that would be posted/parsed onto the shout box. if it was the latest shout, it would enlarge the box by 11 line breaks.

quite abusive.

Bloc, I saw that here you have added a link underneath the shoutbox that shows the last 50 shouts in the main block. For that you use http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?action=tpmod;sa=shoutbox;shouts=50

But if I try that at my site (obviously replacing with my link ) it only returns the last 20 (which is set in the admin panel). However, I see that your number is set to 10 in the shoutbox, so how does that work?

And also where would you add this code? In TPmodules.template.php?

Thats a future of the next TP release

Gotcha, thank you!

Well..you could filter it by searching for a break ..but then all breaks would be gone And searching for 2 breaks will only work on exactly 2 breaks.
