[Extension] om_shoutbox 0.0.5

You may add

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>pun_jquery</dependency>
    </dependencies>

To force users to download official jquery extension.

The esiest way to save discussions in txt file, is to modify a json.php file. Just add this one line next to inserting new entry to database:

file_put_contents ("/tmp/shoutbox.txt", date("Y-m-d h:i", time())." $username: $message\n", FILE_APPEND);

It should look like this:

// new message
if (isset($_GET['message']) && $forum_user['id'] != 1) {

        $message = forum_htmlencode($_GET['message']);
        $username = forum_htmlencode($forum_user['username']);

        // insert new message with current time
        if( (strlen($message) > 0) && (strlen($message) <= MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH) )
        {      
                $query = array(
                        'INSERT'        => 'poster, date, message',
                        'INTO'          => 'om_shoutbox',
                        'VALUES'        => '\''.$forum_db->escape($username).'\', '.time().', \''.$forum_db->escape($message).'\''
                );
                $forum_db->query_build($query) or error(__FILE__, __LINE__);
                file_put_contents ("/tmp/shoutbox.txt", date("Y-m-d h:i", time())." $username: $message\n", FILE_APPEND);
        }

        echo json_encode(array('status'=>true));

        // clean up after posting the message
        $time_before = time()-MAX_MESSAGE_OLD;
        $query = array(
                'DELETE'        => 'om_shoutbox',
                'WHERE'         => 'date <= '.$time_before
        );
        $forum_db->query_build($query) or error(__FILE__, __LINE__);
}

Of course you may change the path to txt file, but remember that you need write permission to the file you pointed.

Hello, nice jobs! i like your shoutbox, is great work!!!!

but never work, Always do not write on file.txt but write on db and also read messages from db.

Can You help me?

thank you

I ran this for a while and really liked it, but it was making a php session file for each user viewing it every 3 seconds. After a few days my server hit its storage limit. So I had to turn it off in the end.

Is there a solution for this problem?

Thank you keeshii, you are awesome! I love really your scripts!

I am sorry to ask a lot of things of you and this is the wrong topic, but would it be easy for you to modify your om_medals to use a URL for a medal image instead of an uploader? The uploader doesn't work for me but with if http urls could be used I could just upload the medal graphic onto my server and link it.

Also, do you have a website or twitter or something? I love your work and would love to stay updated on new stuff you make

What about (optionally) removing colour chooser for users and being compatible with pun_colored_usergroups ?

up, sir how to make this visible to guest?
and how to add smilies?

Hi keeshii & thank you for you wonderful extensions! I came across a pack you created containing a collection of extensions by you and hoped to get some help for some of em' I'm not sure if you're still maintaining these or not but in the off chance  you see this help would be appreciated.

Is there anyway to add some sort of moderation of shoutbox- Simple commands to allow mods/admins to silence, remove, prune, setting topics  & set character limits to prevent spam?

How about colors to fit themes or even allowing users to set their own font color?

keeshi Helpp !!

Woow! Thanks
