Ok, lets put the query right after the call to createPost() then, not the best place but it should work.

I tried to make it work with latest SP and code works partially - shouts are added in database, but shoutbox does not display them

  I have only very briefly looked at the edits to Post.php from this thread & can see some possible issues.

• It is hard coded to only edit db data for shoutbox id#1
• JS needed to implement shouts (client side/dynamic)

SP already has a function to add the shouts to the db and can be called instead of implementing the db edits I see in that file. Imo this is not the issue though.. it is possibly the shoutbox id# (if the user has set up more than 1 shoutbox) & the need for client side js.

Here is a brief example:

Code: [Select]

global $context;

$shout = 'This is a test shout';
$shout_id = 1;
$context['SPortal']['shoutbox'] = sportal_get_shoutbox($shout_id, true);

sportal_create_shout($context['SPortal']['shoutbox'], $shout);
echo '
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript"><!-- // --><![CDATA[
sp_submit_shout(', $shout_id, ', \'', $context['session_var'], '\', \'', $context['session_id'], '\');
// ]]></script>';

130860,
  The above uses shoutbox id#1 .. hard code that id#, another id# or create a drop-down option in SP admin menu to opt a specific shoutbox id#.  The sportal_create_shout & sportal_get_shoutbox functions should work without having to include any SP php file as it is already previously loaded/used by SP.

  One can just try adding the js after the db edits & it will probably work if that is the route opted.
