Shoutbox Help

[hetal]

Hi,

I'm really new to TP and I was trying out to see if I can create shoutbox, I was able to create the shotbox but however I was not able to see anything in it...I looked around for as much as help I can get but I did not find out what it was that I'm doing wrong...therefore, I'm attaching the image file...I would appreciated if some one can help me out here.

also when I click on admin > tinyportal > View shout it gives me following error

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/patelh/domains/warcraft-source.com/public_html/board/tp-files/tp-modules/TPShout/Sources/TPShout.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/patelh/domains/warcraft-source.com/public_html/board/Sources/TPmodules.php  on line 83

What version of TP are you using? What version of SMF? Did you look to see if the file that it is pointing to (TPShout.php) is where it is looking for it?

Hi hetal, welcome to TinyPortal.

IchBinâ„¢ or one of our code specialists may be able to help you with this current question, but in the meanwhile... 
If you're new to SMF/TP then you'll need to start by learning some of the basics on how to find files and how the various elements work together so that you can achieve the layout you desire. A really good place to start is the Docs here on TP and those that you'll find on SMF.

For your question on the shoutbox, there are sections on blocks as well as modules. (the shoutbox is a module)
Here are the Docs pages for TP:

This error:

Failed opening required '/home/patelh/domains/warcraft-source.com/public_html/board/tp-files/tp-modules/TPShout/Sources/TPShout.php

is telling you it cannot find the file located on your sever. Look at the path then go into your server viewing using an FTP client or with the file manager (if you have cpanel), and look to see if the TPShout.php file is located there. If not, that will answer the question of why you are having a problem. You may have to get the file from the TP zip file located in the same place, and upload it to the path specified.

OK so I believe I got the files in there but still when I turn on the shoutbox it just displays same image as I attached in my 1st post as above. Good part is it does not give me error any more...Oh and sorry for the late reply been busy


Note: As told me to check on docs on reply. I did follow the steps but :O I do not see where is says block type shout...do you think I'm missing more files ? If so please help me!

[IchBin]

For the block type it has to be "TP Module". Then you select the module (shoutbox) that you want to show.

[hetal]

Well I was able to create block with those settings but here check out my screen shot it does not give you no space to write text into...

Errors in the smf log? Errors in your server log?

hetal,

I just looked at your site.  Do you see those 2 asterisks in the upper right of the image you attached to your last post?  Those are broken images.  This indicates that you didn't get a full install of TinyPortal for some reason because those images are missing.  After looking at your site, I can see that there are other broken images as well.  This could have been due to a permissions problem on your site.  If the images are missing, there are other things that could be missing as well, including some of the files needed to make the Shoutbox work.  I would advise you to extract the TinyPortal archive to a temp folder on your computer and go through the common folder and the SMF2RC2 folder and make sure that all the files in those folder have been uploaded to the proper location on your site.  The missing images will be located in the \common\Themes\default\images\tinyportal folder of the archive.
