Topic: Private shoutbox message to a clicked user

[Alex]

Hi there ^^

I know that the ShoutBox of Simple Portal have a simple function that lets you send private messages to users by entering on the chat line, for instance:

@Nickname: Hi

But I need a bit more for this. ¿Is possible to make a code that lets you write automatically his/her @nickname: by pressing it from the chat? (Specially useful if the user has special characters  )

Something like this I mean:


And if possible, can anyone help me with the code to do this?

Thank you in advance and sorry for my bad english

EDIT: Read next post, please.

Well, I achieved my goal by replacing in PortalShoutbox.template.php this:

Code: ("Find") [Select]

               ', !$shout['is_me'] ? '<li class="smalltext"><strong>' . $shout['author']['link'] . ':</strong></li>' : '', '
By this:

Code: ("Replace") [Select]

               ', !$shout['is_me'] ? '<li class="smalltext"><a onclick="javascript:document.getElementById(&apos;new_shout_1&apos;).value=&apos;@' . $shout['author']['name'] . ': &apos;">@</a><strong>' . $shout['author']['link'] . ':</strong></li>' : '', '
And it appears that works as I expected:


But there is a problem... when you refresh the shoutbox (not the page) or when you write something there, the modification turns to be normal:



How can I keep this modification as seen at the first image?

Exactly which line did you replaced? Because it is working great for me on Chrome, FF or Opera.

//edit: with few modifications I did found solution, I'll post it in 30-60 minutes

Here it is

./Themes/default/PortalSoutbox.template.php:

Code: (Find) [Select]

<li class="smalltext">', !$shout['is_me'] ? '<strong>' . $shout['author']['link'] . ':</strong> ' : '', $shout['text'], '<br />', !empty($shout['delete_link_js']) ? '<span class="shoutbox_delete">' . $shout['delete_link_js'] . '</span>' : '' , '<span class="smalltext shoutbox_time">', $shout['time'], '</span></li>';


Code: (Replace with) [Select]

<li class="smalltext">', !$shout['is_me'] ? '<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="document.getElementById(\'new_shout_'. $shoutbox['id']. '\').value=\'@' . $shout['author']['name'] . ': \'">@</a> <strong>' . $shout['author']['link'] . ':</strong> ' : '', $shout['text'], '<br />', !empty($shout['delete_link_js']) ? '<span class="shoutbox_delete">' . $shout['delete_link_js'] . '</span>' : '' , '<span class="smalltext shoutbox_time">', $shout['time'], '</span></li>';


Code: (Find) [Select]

<author>', htmlspecialchars($shout['author']['link']), '</author>


Code: (Replace with) [Select]

<author>', htmlspecialchars($shout['author']['link']), '</author>
<author_name>', htmlspecialchars($shout['author']['name']), '</author_name>

./Themes/default/scripts/portal.js

Code: (Find) [Select]

, author,


Code: (Replace with) [Select]

, author, author_name,


Code: (Find) [Select]

author = shout.getElementsByTagName("author")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;


Code: (Replace with) [Select]

author = shout.getElementsByTagName("author")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
author_name = shout.getElementsByTagName("author_name")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;


Code: (Find) [Select]

new_body += '<li class="smalltext">' + (is_me == 0 ? '<strong>' + author + ':</strong> ' : '') + content + '<br />' + (delete_link != 0 ? ('<span class="shoutbox_delete">' + delete_link + '</span>') : '') + '<span class="smalltext shoutbox_time">' + time + '</span></li>';


Code: (Replace with) [Select]

new_body += '<li class="smalltext">' + (is_me == 0 ? '<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="document.getElementById(\'new_shout_'+ shoutbox_id +'\').value=\'@' + author_name + ': \'">@</a> <strong>' + author + ':</strong> ' : '') + content + '<br />' + (delete_link != 0 ? ('<span class="shoutbox_delete">' + delete_link + '</span>') : '') + '<span class="smalltext shoutbox_time">' + time + '</span></li>';

Note: This code is for Shoutbox with ID = 1. Of course this can be done for every Shoutbox, but when I tried to make it work forum was not loading at all

@Alex, can I make this as mod package and post it here? I'm asking because you figured out how to make it work

[Alex]

Yes, you can! Thanks!

PS: I replaced all the codes and I'm again in the same problem of refreshing  I'm using Google Chrome and Firefox.
After refreshing cache (Ctrl+Shift+R) it works finely. Thank you for your help! 

[phantomm]

yeah, portal.js was in your browser cache, it needed to be refreshed

And I'll post package later.
