Let's get a few things straight:

1) Stick to forums and not to personal messages
2) Personal messages are often considered as spam if the guy you want to message didn't ASK you to pm him with informations/whatever
3) Personal messages are the last resource in a forum, that's why you can post a topic, it's the whole point of a FORUM
4) Your topic title isn't descriptive at all meaning that the question might be skipped by many users!
5) You very much likely didn't try to search a little bit on how to install SimplePortal, it's one of the biggest but also easiest mod around! That's why it's called "SIMPLEportal" ;)
6) nneonneo's Shoutbox is bugged as hell. Seriously, I have personally tried it and spent a week trying to debug it. In the end I gave up and was using Nibogo's one, later on I scratched that as well and I'm using the one that SimplePortal has built-in. I suggest you to do the same thing, moreover the built-in one has several mods for it around here and as such it's customizable while nneonneo's isn't. :)
7) If you still want to install that shoutbox you can, just install both SimplePortal and nneonneo's Shoutbox normally.
8 ) Forums aren't a Wiki, people in here have lives and we can't (nor we want) spend our time telling you something extremely easy or that is not about SimplePortal (such as installing SMF or "how" to install it - it's like any other modification, of course if you have files failing during the installation that is another problem and we WILL help with that) that is already explained in the documentation that I already linked you above.
9) SMF Wiki (http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Main_Page)
10) Since you sound pretty much new... Pay particular attention to this page: http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Spam_-_my_forum_is_flooded_with_spam,_what_can_I_do hint: captcha is useless against spambots nowadays. Totally useless, they can read those letters better than us >_<

Hope this clarifies a LOT :)
Best regards

nneonneo's shoutbox is not part of SimplePortal, like I already stated... And I also already suggested to use the built-in Shoutbox since it works WAY better than that one...

That's because you need to add the a block that will contain the shoutbox. Lol if you add a shoutbox and nowhere to display it... It won't display it :P

built-in Shoutbox

Thought it was a bit obvious you don't need to install something built-in...And I already told you how to add it, too...
If you want nneonneo's Shoutbox instead just install it as a normal smf mod.

No clues on what you mean... Yet if you want to change the Shoutbox position you can just move the Shoutbox block to the left side from the blocks list, or wherever you want to place it.

Hi...
i got this error D;


COD ShoutBox
Database Error
Illegal mix of collations (utf8_general_ci,IMPLICIT) and (utf8_unicode_ci,IMPLICIT) for operation 'ifnull'
File: /home/u667345813/public_html/forum/Sources/Subs-Portal.php
Line: 1261

That's some nasty problem there. Basically your database charset is inconsistent, because (guessing) your forum is running with an iso charset but you did something or tried to convert and now the database is now splitted in half - a piece of it is running ISO charset, while the other one is runnning UTF-8.
Like I said it's a nasty issue if you are not an experienced coder... However try to:
1) Backup your database (do NOT use SMF's built-in function, seriously, don't)
2) If you are using non-utf8 language in your forum just delete it
3) Install the appropriate utf-8 language

If you are already using utf-8:
1) Backup your database
2) Go to phpmyadmin on your server panel
3) (hard part) look for the tables called
{your db prefix}smf_sp_articles
{your db prefix}smf_sp_blocks
{your db prefix}smf_sp_categories
{your db prefix}smf_sp_functions
{your db prefix}smf_sp_pages
{your db prefix}smf_sp_parameters
{your db prefix}smf_sp_shoutboxes
4) Check their "Collation", it will probably be "utf8_unicode_ci"
5) If so, change them to "utf8_general_ci"

Remember, BACKUP your database before doing ANY of these procudures. Sometimes things may go wrong with those, so please backup.

After you're done, report me back what you get :)
*whew that was a long reply, lol*

Post by: ♦ Ninja ZX-10RR ♦ on March 08, 2015, 10:22:54 AM

I don't have enough time to, sorry (too many people already asked me recently, here and elsewhere, and busy in real life these days). Plus, I would have to ask you full admin permissions on your server, which is something I never like to ask...
Try to follow the procedure step by step, you can google the things you don't know a bit ;)
