[Discussion] Tabbed Block by Mouse Over

[Freddy]

Sorry MrCare, I tried to install this but it just wont work for me.  This Mod hasn't been updated in a year and I can't get it to work at all.  People on SMF seem to be having problems with it so there is little chance I am going to figure this out when I can't even get it to install.  I suggest you find another mod or something, sorry my friend.

Well I had a lot of problems just getting the mod to install and work in a block, but here is a way to do this.

Only one shoutbox on a page seems to work.  So if you have a shoutbox at the top of your forum you will have to remove that.

This is simple :

In index.template.php find (if it is there - it is in Default) :

Code Select Expand

// Show the shoutbox!
shoutbox();
   
Comment out shoutbox(); So its like this :

Code Select Expand

// Show the shoutbox!
// shoutbox();

Now the shoutbox should stop appearing at the top of the forum, if it was.

In mouseoverTabContent.php use this code for your new function:

Code Select Expand


// nneonneo's Shoutbox
function mot_Shout()
{
echo '
<div class="tabsmenucontent" style="padding: 5px">';

// YSHOUT HERE - shoutbox code
global $txt,$context,$boarddir;
if(allowedTo('yshout_view'))
{
echo '<br /><b>',$txt['yshout_shoutbox'],'</b><br /><br />';
echo '<div id="yshout">';
include_once($boarddir.'/yshout/yshout.php');
echo '</div>';
}
elseif($context['user']['is_guest'])
echo $txt['yshout_no_guests'];
// YSHOUT END - shoutbox code

echo '
</div>';
}


Make the adjustments to the order the functions get called and update your tabs in the block code that goes with this, as explained elsewhere.

Then finally in yshout.php (it's in the yshout folder from your forum root) find the top of the file :

Code Select Expand

// Figure out where the yshout folder is
global $yshoutdir;
$yshoutdir=(defined('SMF')||isset($yshout_from_index))?'yshout/':'';
// Check configuration files

And insert a couple of lines like shown here :

Code Select Expand

// Figure out where the yshout folder is
global $yshoutdir;
$yshoutdir=(defined('SMF')||isset($yshout_from_index))?'yshout/':'';

if (!isset($yshout_from_index))
$yshoutdir = '../' . $yshoutdir;

// Check configuration files

Then hopefully it will work.  There's a screen shot below of it working in the default theme.

And finally you can help me in return by giving us a link to show it working   Thanks !

I need an image of the problem or a link to see what is wrong... if it is a problem with the MOD then try speaking to the mod maker or whoever is doing it now...
