Topic: [Tip] Post Notifications on shoutbox

[130860]

well this tips is on nneonneo' shoutbox and AjaxChat  so I adapted to SimplePortal shoutbox

with this tip you can post notifications on your shout when a new topic is created, also, you can configure it so the notification appears only when a new topic is created on certain board you choose.

I only test it on a RC3 and RC4 board.

lets get started.

first open your  Sources/Post.php  and find:

Code: [Select]

notifyMembersBoard($notifyData);
and add after it:

Code: [Select]

global $user_info, $board, $scripturl, $boardName, $topic;

$smcFunc['db_insert']('',
'{db_prefix}sp_shouts',
array(
'id_shoutbox' => 'int',
'id_member' => 'int',
'member_name' => 'string',
'log_time' => 'int',
'body' => 'string',
),
array(
1,
$user_info['id'],
$user_info['name'],
time(),
'[color=red][b]New Topic: [url='.$scripturl . '?topic=' . $topic . '.new#new'.']'.html_entity_decode($_POST['subject']).'[/url][/b][/color]',
),
array('id_shout')
);

you can configure a little bit at this part:


1,    is the shoutbox ID, by default the first shoutbox you create has the ID 1, change it to yours.

Code: [Select]

'[color=red][b]New Topic: [url='.$scripturl . '?topic=' . $topic . '.new#new'.']'.html_entity_decode($_POST['subject']).'[/url][/b][/color]',
is the message to be posted, it will look like this:

Username: New Topic: topic name and url

the [color ] [/color] and [b ] [/b ]  tag will only work if you enable this tag in your shout's settings.

if you only want to show notifications from certain board only, use this:

$foros = array (1,2);  // where 1 and 2 are the ID of the boards you want to post notifications from

if (in_array($board, $foros))  // check if its the right board

it will look something like this:

Code: [Select]

$foros = array (1,2);


   if (in_array($board, $foros))
   {
global $user_info, $board, $scripturl, $boardName, $topic;

$smcFunc['db_insert']('',
'{db_prefix}sp_shouts',
array(
'id_shoutbox' => 'int',
'id_member' => 'int',
'member_name' => 'string',
'log_time' => 'int',
'body' => 'string',
),
array(
1,
$user_info['id'],
$user_info['name'],
time(),
'[color=red][b]New Topic: [url='.$scripturl . '?topic=' . $topic . '.new#new'.']'.html_entity_decode($_POST['subject']).'[/url][/b][/color]',
),
array('id_shout')
);
}

hope you find it useful, this is not my code, this is just an adaptation from nneonneo' shoutbox and AjaxChat  tips.

Great,

Is it possible to open the link in the same window?

Stef.

Is it possible to open the link in the same window?

Code: (Find (I think that there are two)) [Select]

[url

Code: (Replace) [Select]

[iurl

[Normally]

When i kake it like that it shows like this:

 Nieuw Topic: [i url=http://www.spirituelekaarten.nl/index.php?topic=592.new#new]Testen of het in de schreeuw komt.[/i][/color]

Here i maked i url, because here it works, but in the shoutbox i can not not click the link.

[grafitus]

Shouldn't be space between "i" and "url".

[Normally]

I know, but otherwise i cannot show how it looks in the shoutbox.

[grafitus]

Oh, right! "iurl" not in allowed bbc tags. Let's add it:

./Sources/Subs-Portal.php

Code: (Find) [Select]

$row['allowed_bbc']

Code: (Replace) [Select]

$row['allowed_bbc'] . ',iurl'

[Normally]

This works, thanks.

Stef.

[Divecall]

Thank you, nice Tip!

How can i exclude some boards? this "aray"-thing is not working for me...

[130860]

can you post your full code and tell me the ID of the array you want to exclude.

[Divecall]

well, the code i was using (in SMF2 RC2!) is:

Code: [Select]

$foros = array (4,5,40,68,60,61,19,14,15,53,50,56,51,62,63,64,65,13,16,43,69,70,71,72,73,58,59,17,66,67);
     
     
      if (in_array($board, $foros))
      {
global $user_info, $board, $scripturl, $boardName, $topic;
     
         $smcFunc['db_insert']('',
      '{db_prefix}sp_shouts',
      array(
         'id_shoutbox' => 'int',
         'id_member' => 'int',
         'member_name' => 'string',
         'log_time' => 'int',
         'body' => 'string',
      ),
      array(
         1,
         $user_info['id'],
         $user_info['name'],
         time(),
         '[color=red][b]Neues Thema: [url='.$scripturl . '?topic=' . $topic . '.new#new'.']'.html_entity_decode($_POST['subject']).'[/url][/b][/color]',
      ),
      array('id_shout')
   );
}
I have two boards, that i dont want to show in the shoutbox: board-ID number 42.0 and 54.0

[130860]

you don't need to listed all your boards,  try this code:

Code: [Select]

$foros = array (42,54);
     
     
      if (in_array($board, $foros))
  return;
 
  else
      {
global $user_info, $board, $scripturl, $boardName, $topic;
     
         $smcFunc['db_insert']('',
      '{db_prefix}sp_shouts',
      array(
         'id_shoutbox' => 'int',
         'id_member' => 'int',
         'member_name' => 'string',
         'log_time' => 'int',
         'body' => 'string',
      ),
      array(
         1,
         $user_info['id'],
         $user_info['name'],
         time(),
         '[color=red][b]Neues Thema: [url='.$scripturl . '?topic=' . $topic . '.new#new'.']'.html_entity_decode($_POST['subject']).'[/url][/b][/color]',
      ),
      array('id_shout')
   );
}

Hey prisoner 130860

Have been watching this like a hawk.

Is there a way to post links so only certain membergroups can view it.

I have admin only boards and specific boards for certain groups ie subscribers and teenagers.

[Divecall]

looks like it is (almost) function now.

When i write a new topic in the excluded boards, i have an error after submit: i dont see the new topic, only the head (menu) from the forum. in the error-log there is "could not load the main template"....
please, can you help?

Is there a way to show answers, too - not only the new topic?

Good work and a great tip.

[130860]

@Brack1  well, that will be  complicated, it is far better to create another shoutbox and give permisisons to this new shoutbox so only certain membergroups cann see it and shout on it.

 @Divecall  what is the exact error you gave?

attach your  Sources/Post.php  file.

and no, currently this tip is using a function in smf that is used only for new topics.

[Divecall]

thanks 130860 for your help.

Here is the post.php

[130860]

Divecall  your file seems fine,  if you remove this tip the error goes away?

can you post the errors on your error log?

[Divecall]

Well, my error-log is in german...

but you can see only, that is a Theme-error
and you can read:
http://localhost/myboard/index.php?action=post2;start=0;board=54
Cannot load the 'main' template

No File or number or something....

(like ever: File: [Path]/post.php), line: xxx - THERE IS NOTHING!)

Maybe the error is my XAMPP-Test-Area

[130860]

well, I need to know if the error is related with this tip,  the error still occurs  even if you take away the edits this tip make?

can you post the line you getting the error?  even if it is blank, it gave me an idea on where to look at.
 

[Divecall]

Yes, the error is away, when i remove you tip.

Here is the screenshot:
