Thank you for thinking like that eheh Dentistry really advance and it's an incredible field, well... at least I like it eheh I just do programming for fun and on my free time

I just think back to how dentistry was in the 60's when I was a kid, or the 70's when I had braces, and even back in the 80's or 90's and I think that the status of dentistry today has come a loooooong way. Going to the dentist used to border on the traumatic. Maybe I just have an excellent dentist, and I do, but it seems that you guys dish out so much less pain today than before. And then there's those cute little dental hygienist babes at the dentists office.... hoo man, I need to get my teeth cleaned!

I don't actually want to go to the dentist. Nobody in their right mind does, but it's really not so bad anymore, and I do want to take the opportunity to express my appreciation when I get the chance to say thanks!

ARGGGGG! This is becoming frustrating! I've 2 exams friday and I need to study a lot to them but Saturday I'll have a look on those CSS files and resolve your problem once and for all! Till then, you can use the shoutbox like a top or bottom block (with the original shoutbox.html file)

Nobody wants to go to the doctor, that's a fact. But going to the dentist seams, for some people, worse that going to other doctor. I don't know why that happens but it's not only in US. I live in Portugal and the problem is the same. Maybe it's related to the spinning tools or because it hurts a lot. But that is past. It doesn't hurt anymore. We, dentists, have a lot of new technology to avoid pain and we can do some crazy new things that 3 years ago wasn't even possible to do.

That's why I like being in this field. Technology and medicine are the best together and It's cool to see new smiles in people's mouth eheh

I say go prep for your exams. I've found a top block that fits nicely. No hurries anymore for me. The fact that I can fit the shoutbox into a top block makes a huge difference. It's not taking the entire width of the screen anymore, which is a big improvement.

Thanks!

sorry blue but i just want to ask again about shoutbox integration..

i ve the ajax chat but when i add your php codes in my simple portal anything is changing.. an empty shoutbox area is in my hand, what is the problem do u thing anything about that..

Blue · « **Reply #64 on:** May 21, 2009, 12:09:04 PM »

Do you have a custom theme? Did you have the Ajax Chat installed in your theme?

You need to have the Ajax Chat installed in your index.template.php in order to work.

If you don't know how to do it just attached the file and I'll do it for you

MUSTAFAINE · « **Reply #65 on:** May 22, 2009, 03:19:43 AM »

Blue · « **Reply #66 on:** May 22, 2009, 11:17:22 AM »

Hum.. Can you attach me a file, in your server in .::templates>"name of your theme"::. called index.template.php?

NVM Blue the file here fixed it.

Dream12 · « **Reply #71 on:** June 06, 2009, 04:37:05 PM »

Hey Blue,

I am also having that IE7 problem. Was just wondering if there are any updates mate???

thanks Man!!

amlucent · « **Reply #72 on:** June 06, 2009, 10:26:42 PM »

The problem is with IE and the emoticons area.. it does not automatically provide line breaks like it should.. instead it simply forces all the smileys on one line.

if I can find the file that "emoticonsContainer" is defined in I am confident I can fix it

Eliana Tamerin · « **Reply #73 on:** June 07, 2009, 01:57:21 AM »

Well, since it's an ID of a div, it'll be the CSS that defines it.

Look in /chat/css/positions.css and look for #content #emoticonsContainer.

I'm sure you can use SMF's built-in IE7 detector to give IE7 another CSS sheet that contains just that one class and the IE7-specific values it needs. That is, unless they're so IE-specific that it doesn't matter (if Firefox/Opera/Chrome/Konq/etc won't read them anyway) or if they don't screw up the rest of the browsers.

Dream12 · « **Reply #74 on:** June 07, 2009, 08:06:23 AM »

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i am sorry but didnt umderstamd amu of that lol

So have i got to chamge the template file for the shoutbox?

Eliana Tamerin · « **Reply #75 on:** June 07, 2009, 10:08:13 AM »

I was mostly speaking to Blue and amlucent, to see if either one wished to attempt the solution.

amlucent · « **Reply #76 on:** June 07, 2009, 12:08:15 PM »

I am going to attempt the solution. I think adding a css file just for IE7 would be the solution that I should go with. but I dont know what to alter to make only IE7 use a diff css.

I wonder how hard it would be to make the smileys into a little popup window so that only a button shows on the shoutbox.

tfs · « **Reply #77 on:** June 09, 2009, 10:56:31 AM »

Then maybe I could just get rid of half of the emoticons and it would fix the problem? Let's face it, the times that you've just GOT to have that one special smiley doesn't come around that often.

I'd rather have a reliable shoutbox which, interestingly enough, would be quicker and more space efficient.

There's only two emoticons I ever "need" anyway, smile & frown, and even those fall into the "cutesy" category when the rubber hits the road.

Blue · « **Reply #78 on:** June 12, 2009, 12:18:28 PM »

amlucent, did you try to ask where "emoticonsContainer" is to the mod creator?

Since I'm not at home (till the end of college exames) I can't solve or try to solve this problem.

You can use the block in top or bottom blocks just for a temporary solution

You can check this out, pay particular attention to the shoutbox.html, shoutbox.css and posistions.css to see the changes I make to make the smileys popup. Of course you will have to do it a little differently but this should get you going in the right direction.

Adding Smileys and Making them Pop Up

Have fun
