im real sorry if this is anoying anyone of if i have osted this in the wrong place but it seemed ok.

So anywayz i was looking for a shoutbox for my forum and your site came up, iv tryed alot of places but none i think are suitable because theyr all too small and guests can post, so i was wandering if people here could help me with the coding for one, seen as the one u have cannot be posted in by guests.

i would be really grateful if u could help me

Well, the thing is is that you're only considered a guest by this system until you log in, at which point you can post in the shoutbox all you want, though I do believe doing it this way into the forum at large has a better chance of getting you help. Alas, my coding skills are slim to none, so I cannot, as yet, help you with the coding for the shoutbox.

I don't use shoutboxes on my site because it seems unprofessional. Instead, I just have a big chatroom...

Anyways, there are plenty of shoutboxes out there, and Google can help you find the right one.

Hey Phi, I downloaded that one from zymic too, but in the instructions it says like change CHMOD to 77 or something. If you could help me out setting that up I would really appreciate it.

Once I get I host I know I have to host the files and stuff on it. I don't know where to put the code. I'll post the instructions if anyone can help me:

1.Upload the all files to your server.
2.CHMOD to 777 : admin.php,config.php,dataflood.db,lastip.php,and the smilies folder
3.Put this code on your website to show your shoutbox <iframe frameborder=0 src="http://www.yourdomain.com/shoutboxfolder/floodbox.php; width="200" height="500"> </iframe>
4.Then go to your admin section http://www.yourdomain.com/shoutboxfolder/admin.php and login with username and password:admin
5.Change the username and password once logged in and you should be done.


Thanks alot

Kimiko, someone mentioned it before, go to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

They have a real easy to install shoutbox

 

The code:

<!-- BEGIN MYSHOUTBOX.COM CODE --><iframe src=\"http://201027.myshoutbox.com/\" width=\"152\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\"></iframe><!-- END MYSHOUTBOX.COM CODE-->

Explaining it:

*The iframe is used to create an internal frame into your site, this enables the shoutbox to refresh occasionally

 

*src directs to the source of the hard-coded shoutbox configuration, they host it for you

 

*width and height lets you adjust the size of your shoutbox

 

*frameborder lets you decide to use a border around your shoutbox or not

 

*allowtransparency is a default setting made by myshoutbox.com, dont mind it, leave it there

 

NOTE: Do not use that code as it refers to my shoutbox, you would get my shoutbox messages and thats not what we want.
