In the newest release its set to TIMESTAMP by default.

And have fun. lol

Post Notification Tweak

This relies on the 'date' column in the talkbox's database table to be set to TIMESTAMP.

Open Post.php and find notifyMembersBoard($notifyData);.
Add after it:

Code: (Post.php) [Select]

    // TalkBox New Topic Notification

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

    $start_topic_bbc = '<span class="tb_notify">';

    $end_topic_bbc = '</span>';

    $start_topic_link = '<a href="'.$scripturl . '?topic=' . $topic . '.new#new'.'">';

    $end_topic_link = '</a>';

   

    $smcFunc['db_insert']('',

      '{db_prefix}talkbox',

      array(

         'user' => 'string-25', 'ip' => 'string-16', 'message' => 'string-255',

         ),

      array(

         $user_info['name'], $posterOptions['ip'], $start_topic_bbc .'New Topic: '. $start_topic_link . html_entity_decode($_POST['subject']).$end_topic_link . $end_topic_bbc

         ),

      array('autopost')

   );

    // End TalkBox New Topic Notification
Next, find sendNotifications($topic, 'reply');.
Replace it with:

Code: [Select]

    {

                 sendNotifications($topic, 'reply');

    // TalkBox New Reply Notification

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

    $start_reply_bbc = '<span class="tb_notify">';

    $end_reply_bbc = '</span>';

    $start_reply_link = '<a href="'.$scripturl . '?topic=' . $topic . '.new;topicseen#new'.'">';

    $end_reply_link = '</a>';

   

    $smcFunc['db_insert']('',

      '{db_prefix}talkbox',

      array(

         'user' => 'string-25', 'ip' => 'string-16', 'message' => 'string-255',

         ),

      array(

         $user_info['name'], $posterOptions['ip'], $start_reply_bbc .'New Reply: '. $start_reply_link . html_entity_decode($_POST['subject']).$end_reply_link . $end_reply_bbc

         ),

      array('autopost')

   );

    // End TalkBox New Reply Notification
}
Note: If you have an older version of the TalkBox installed, the table names may need to be "shoutbox" instead of "talkbox".

That should now give you notifications for both New Topics and New Replies!
Enjoy!

[SunKing]

New Member Notification Tweak

This relies on the 'date' column in the talkbox's database table to be set to TIMESTAMP.
This relies on the Welcome Topic mod to be installed.

Open WelcomeTopic2.php and find createPost($msgOptions, $topicOptions, $posterOptions);.
Add after it:

Code: (WelcomeTopic2.php) [Select]

    // TalkBox New Member Notification

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

    $start_topic_bbc = '<span class="tb_notify">';

    $end_topic_bbc = '</span>';

    $start_topic_link = '<a href="'.$scripturl . '?topic=' . $topicOptions['id'] . '.new#new'.'">';

    $end_topic_link = '</a>';

   

    $smcFunc['db_insert']('',

      '{db_prefix}shoutbox',

      array(

         'user' => 'string-25', 'message' => 'string-255',

         ),

      array(

         $posterOptions['name'], $start_topic_bbc .'New Member! '. $start_topic_link . $memberName . $end_topic_link . $end_topic_bbc

         ),

      array('autopost')

   );

    // End TalkBox New Member Notification
That should now give you notifications for New Members provided the Welcome Topic mod is installed.
Enjoy!

A little tweaking. Modifying / Creating a Header and adding an expand/collapse feature using jcollapse ( I know this looks terrible but it's workin )

Thank you SK for getting some of the scripts in place, you're always a big help.

It works flawlessly in IE but flickers a little in FF when expanded or collapsed after some activity. Maybe someone knows how to fix that...Enjoy!

[mrtrc266]

Separated from original post as this is a separate issue....

The Pop Up feature would not work in IE, this seemed to fix it though...

index.template.php
Find

Code: [Select]

        [<a href="javascript:window.open(\''.$boardurl.'/talkbox/index.php\',\''. time().'<sup>&reg;</sup>\',\'width=880,height=320\');void(0);">'.$txt['talkbox_popup'].'</a>]
Replace with

Code: [Select]

        [<a href="javascript:window.open(\''.$boardurl.'/talkbox/index.php\',\''. time().'\',\'width=880,height=320\');void(0);">'.$txt['talkbox_popup'].'</a>]
^&reg; seemed to be the culprit.

[SunKing]

To fix the css issues in the TalkBox popup, open the /talkbox/index.php and search for:

Code: (index.php) [Select]

  // Include all of the settings

  require_once ('settings.php');


global $settings, $boardurl;



Replace it with:

Code: [Select]

  // Include all of the settings
require_once ('settings.php');

global $settings, $boardurl, $context;

    // Style hack for popup
    echo '<style type="text/css">
    @import url("'.$boardurl.'/talkbox/css/talkbox.css");
    @import url("', $settings['theme_url'], '/css/index', $context['theme_variant'], '.css?rc2");
    </style>';
You can also safely remove

echo'
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="', $boardurl, '/talkbox/css/talkbox.css" />';

from the index.template.php.

Usernames are now appropriately colored with the membergroup colors and clicking them will take you to that user's profile. I need to put some checks in there for guest colors, but that can wait until tomorrow.

[SunKing]

• Username Post based groups are now colored properly.
• Chatkillbot is now fixed
• A Users in Chat box is in progress. I only need it to show unique usernames.
• I have done away with the wapshout.php by incorporating WAP directly into the talkbox's index file. This has several benefits such as:
  • less files overall
  • functions and commands work across both formats
  • WAP version is now styled exactly the same as the main TalkBox
  
  The wapshout integration still needs a lot of stuff like CSS done, but it posts now using the index.php! I no longer have a Blackberry, so i cannot detail the WAP like I would want to. Bear with us though, BxK is the Mobile Madman, so we'll get it all sexified again.

EOTS TalkBox tweaks:

Themed to better fit Curve's design
Smileys in dropdown bar
BBC in dropdown bar (not fully functional yet)
Now, clicking on a guest id takes you to a whois lookup on their IP (admins only)

These can be made available as posted tweaks after a few days of testing.

[SunKing]

There were two TalkBox related errors plaguing the logs, so I set out to fix them (Anzu needs a break anyway...lol).

The first was an Undefined variable: msg and can be fixed by adding the following to the commands.php just below the require_once('config.php);

Code: [Select]

  // Include all of the settings

  require_once ('config.php');



    // Like soap, only not as pleasant smelling...

    if(!empty($msg))

    $msg = $msg;

    else

    $msg = '';
The other error was Undefined offset: 1 which had to do with $msg2 = explode(" ",$msg); and it not have a space by which to separate the words. It can be fixed by changing that line to:

Code: [Select]

$msg2 = explode(" ","$msg ");Notice the double quotes around the last $msg and the space inside them.

[SunKing]

The layout in IE has been fixed in two separate issues.

First, the TalkBox posts no longer align to the right. Open talkbox.css, find .admin_links, and remove the line that says text-align:right;.

Second, the media wasn't being resized in IE and therefore would spill out of the MediaBox and hang off of the right side of the page. This was fixed by adding 2 lines of code just before the media link gets parsed. Adding:

Code: [Select]

          // Extra size reparsing, mainly for IE

          $embed_code = preg_replace('/(width)=("[^"]*")/i', 'width="254"', $embed_code);

          $embed_code = preg_replace('/(height)=("[^"]*")/i', 'height="206"', $embed_code);
just before the final echo $embed_code fixed this issue.

A big thanks to mrtrc266 for a super job with all the time spent helping to troubleshoot these two issues!

[SunKing]

To add this to any portal block, all you should have to do would be place this include in the portal block:

Code: [Select]

include('path/to/your/talkbox/index.php');
typically:

Code: [Select]

global $boarddir;

include($boarddir.'/talkbox/index.php');

[SunKing]

For those having probs with the installer creating a database table for the TalkBox, you can manually run the following MySQL query:

Code: [Select]

CREATE TABLE `smf_talkbox` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `user_id` smallint(4) NOT NULL,
  `user` text NOT NULL,
  `message` text NOT NULL,
  `media` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `date` timestamp NOT NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  `ip` text NOT NULL,
  `whisto` text NOT NULL,
  `whis` int(11) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=6 ;
