Per their site - Subscribe annually for just $20 or pay $6 quarterly to start enjoying all the premium features.

I went with the $20 annual set up

I doubt it with TP, smf has a Shoutbox wit auto-refresh

Is it able to display in a tinyportal block and if your talking about nneonneos shoutbox, that one didn't work out

that didn't work for me either  

I dont see the AVS Messenger on your site how come?

It can only be seen by members who have 'Contributor' status.

Popup window?

Yup you click on 'Popup Shoutbox' then a second shoutbox will appear into a floating Popup Window.

You mean you have to post atleast one post to see it or what?

Our 'Contributors' are hand picked by our Admins.  Normally, the criteria is that they have 50 posts or more, then it's subjective after that.

There is a demo box at their site - http://www.shoutmix.com/main/  It works I just tried it.

This is the code I got from the shoutmix developer.  He said we can put this in a phpbox, but i didn't work.  Can someone please look at this sample code and see what it's missing:

Code Select Expand

global $user_info;// Edit configurations$shoutbox = 'http://www.shoutmix.com/?shoutmix'; // URL of shoutbox$width = '100%';$height = '360'; // without the % sign, value will be in pixels.$border = 0; // 0 for none, 1 for border.// Do not edit below this lineecho '<iframe src="' . htmlspecialchars($shoutbox) . '&name=' . htmlspecialchars($user_info['name']) . '" width="' . $width . '" height="' . $height . '" frameborder="' . $border . '" scrolling="auto"><a href="' . htmlspecialchars($shoutbox) . '">View shoutbox</a></iframe>';

I'm trying to use it in a right phpbox and all I see is the title, with nothing inside the block.

Thanks,

This code works.  To use it you have to make your shoutbox Public instead of Membership, then put this in a php block.  Just changes the URL to your own shoutbox account URL:

Code Select Expand

global $user_info;

// Edit configurations

$shoutbox = 'http://www.shoutmix.com/?shoutmix'; // URL of shoutbox
$width = '160';
$height = '400'; // without the % sign, value will be in pixels.
$border = 0; // 0 for none, 1 for border.

// Do not edit below this line

echo '<iframe src="' . htmlspecialchars($shoutbox) . '&name=' .
htmlspecialchars($user_info['name']) . '" width="' . $width . '"
height="' .
$height . '" frameborder="' . $border . '" scrolling="auto"><a href="'
.
htmlspecialchars($shoutbox) . '">View shoutbox</a></iframe>';


Even though this code will recongize your member's user names automatically, there is nothing to prevent them from changing to something else.

Personally, I reverted back to Membership access, which means they have to register their username via the shoutbox.

Thanks I am testing that code right now

It does work, we just don't like the fact that people can still change their user name to something else.   :down:
