Thread: shoutbox open in new wimdow not working.

Hi i am trying to make my my shoutbox to open in a new window but can t makle it work. i have tried with _parent and _blank but noting working. Check the code i have attached. does anyone know what the problem can be?

I have some ideas... I'll post later.

Thanks GMD i appreciate it a lot. i cant wait

two variants:
1) at main page user can see only link to the shoutbox
2) user can see whole shoutbox with link instead of posting section

The original shoutbox will appear as popup.

That's the third variant.
In your deign.inc.php function loadShoutbox() should be like this.

PHP Code:

function loadShoutbox()
{

    global $site;
    global $oTemplConfig;

    $linkDivider = " | ";

    $reloadtime = 60000;
    $s_win = $_COOKIE['s_win'] ? $_COOKIE['s_win']  : 'inline';


$out = '
 <script type="text/javascript">
<!--
 function popupshoutbox()
{
    var win = "width=300,height=400,left=200,top=100,copyhistory=no,directories=no,menubar=no,location=no,resizable=no,scrollbars=yes";
    window.open("'.$site['url'].'shoutbox.php",\'ShoutBox\',win);

}

//-->
<!--

    function sShowHide()
    {
        var s_win = document.getElementById(\'shout\');

        if (s_win.style.display == \'none\')
        {
            document.cookie = "s_win=inline;";
            s_win.style.display = \'inline\';
        }
        else
        {
            document.cookie = "s_win=none;";
            s_win.style.display = \'none\';
        }
    }

//-->
</script>

    <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
        <tr>
            <td align="center" width="' . $oTemplConfig -> framewidth . '" height="20" style="text-align:center;">
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="popupshoutbox();">'. _t("_PopUp") . '</a>'.$linkDivider.'
        <a href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="sShowHide();">'. _t("_Show/Hide") . '</a>
            </td>
        </tr>';
$out .= '<tr><td>
<div id="shout" style="display: '.$s_win.'">
<iframe id="loadshoutbox" name="loadshoutbox" src="'.$site['url'].'shoutbox.php" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" width="' . $oTemplConfig -> framewidth.'" height="' . $oTemplConfig -> frameheight . '" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes">
<font color="#FFFFFF"><a href="'.$site['url'].'shoutbox.php">View the shoutbox</a></font>
</iframe>
</div>
</td></tr>
</table>';


    return DesignBoxContent ( _t("_shout_box_title"), $out,  $oTemplConfig -> loadShoutbox_db_num);

} 


Enjoy

Hello GMD,

i appreciate the time you have taken for me. i copy all your code in to my code and i realise at i have not explained my problem right.

is the pictures in the shoutbox when you click on them is open inside the frame.

if you have time look at the shoutbox.php code i have attached.

Which pictures?

Ok... This problem appears when you use get_member_thumbnail function.
Look it trough... There's inserted profile link.
So I think you should make another thumnail function, where's no profile link.
Like this:

PHP Code:

function get_member_thumbnail2( $ID, $float )
{
    require_once( BX_DIRECTORY_PATH_ROOT . 'profilePhotos.php' );
    $oPhoto = new ProfilePhotos( $ID );
    $oPhoto -> getActiveMediaArray();
    $aFile = $oPhoto -> getPrimaryPhotoArray();

    if( extFileExists( $oPhoto -> sMediaDir . 'thumb_' . $aFile['med_file'] ) )
    {
        $sFileName = $oPhoto -> sMediaUrl . 'thumb_' . $aFile['med_file'];
    }
    else
    {
        $sFileName = getTemplateIcon( 'no_photo.gif' );
    }

    $style = 
        'width:' . $oPhoto -> aMediaConfig['size']['thumbWidth'] . 'px;' .
        'height:' . $oPhoto -> aMediaConfig['size']['thumbHeight'] . 'px;' .
        'background-image:url(' . $sFileName . ');';

    $ret = '';
    $ret .= '<div class="thumbnail_block" style="float:' . $float . '; ">';
                    $ret .= '<img src="' . getTemplateIcon( 'spacer.gif' ) . '" style="' . $style . '" alt="' . process_line_output( $aFileName['med_title'] ) . '" />';
        $ret .= '</div>';

    return $ret;
} 


Also change call to this function in your script)
Enjoy

Oh... I forgot. This function shold be in design.inc.php
Your code should be like this

PHP Code:

$sPic = str_replace('110px','60px',get_member_thumbnail2($shout_arr['id'],'left'));
        $sPic = str_replace('member.php"','member.php" target="_blank"',$sPic);

$shout_text = process_smiles( process_line_output( $shout_arr['text'], $oTemplConfig -> maxwordlength) );
 $content .= "
                        <tr><td title=\"{$shout_arr['date']}\" class=\"{$shout_arr['class']}\">
                             <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"{$site['url']}profile.php?ID={$shout_arr['id']}\" class=\"membermenu\">$sPic {$shout_arr['NickName']}</a>: {$shout_text}
                        </td></tr>"; 


GMD you are star. as you help me with this but i ma confused as dont know so much about coding. the get_member_thumbnail code you show me should that be in design.inc?
