Title: shoutbox reverse and sound packaged for approval.
Post by: Ardd0 on January 15, 2010, 06:41:08 PM
 As no one like PM's and I am not sure where to put this as it covers two issues mentioned here http://simpleportal.net/index.php?topic=3858.msg24871;topicseen#new and here http://simpleportal.net/index.php?topic=3817.msg24634#msg24634 and is packaged up. I'll put it here. Feel free to stick it wherever you like.

  I do not recommend using this until it has been looked over by the the Portal Crew and approved.

 Here's a fix for the behavior of the scrollbar when the shoutbox is in reverse mode, It makes the bar start at the bottom when a page is loaded and stay there as new shouts are added. This is all packaged up and ready to go.

 This also adds an alert sound whenever a new shout is made.

 Tested on SMF 2.0 RC2
                  Simple Portal 2.3.1
 Using both Fire Fox and IE 

 A working example can be found here. Try it out, use it, don't worry about spamming anything short of commercial advertising, porn or an obscenity laced cuss-fest is to trivial to worry about. Anything else is fine.

 Try it out here HYpercrites (http://www.hypercrites.org)

The package below
Shoutextra (http://www.hypercrites.org/shoutextra.zip)

 Someone "in the loop" please look this over and tell me how you like it.

Great... I was looking for something like this for quite a while.
Is it possible to have this neat feature adapted for SMF 1.1.11?

Anybody...?

SMF - 1.1.11
SP 2.3.1

The answer would be...Maybe.  I have nothing to do with Simple Portal and posted this in order to share my solution with others. The Portal gods have not rendered their judgment regarding this humble offering. If you have a virgin willing to be sacrificed that may speed up the process though.

      Thanks for this.  How does this install? Do i install this just through package manager?

    You have some interesting blocks on that site. If you would, could you tell me where you got those scripts and what type of blocks you used.

                                                              Thanks Again

Yes that package will install through the package manager.

 I have a few PHP and Html Blocks on there. Feel free to drop by The Site and I can send you info on the scripts and places.   :nervous-happy:

   haven't made it over to your site yet but i will. Anyways, when testing in IE8, the sound doesn't play. Firefox and Iron - yes. IE8 no. Does it work for you?

Yes it does, the sound only plays for the recipient (I'm sure you know this but just in case...)

 I'll be in and out today until evening Curlin but I'll save you a doughnut for when you get there :)

  Not sure what you meant by your first statement as when i enter a shout, it makes the sound but not in IE8. Also, when i first went to your site to check this mod, i could hear the sound(firefox) even though i didn't enter anything in shoutbox. It was from other entering shouts.

     Hey There

  I just realized that the warning text (colored bar) is at the top and disappears now using this mod after so many shouts. Is there a way to move the warning bar to the bottom just above where you enter the shouts?

has anyone been able to get this working with 2.3.3?

I tried but my coding skills are at 0.001 so I failed

obviously we don't need the reverse part of this anymore, but I would (and my members) really really really like to get the sound back.  It was working great on 2.3.1

if anyone can help me out or even knows another way to get a sound notification on new shouts I would really appreciate it.
