Thread: Shout box - Add "View NickName's Profile" and "Shout Posted" text to nickname hover

I know this may sound crazy but I have had members hover over the NickNames in the shout box and ask "What does this date mean? Is that the date that member joined?"...ROTFLOL....
Also end losers do not know that they can click on the NickName and be taken to that posters profile.
(add this little bit of info you your FAQ's)
I changed the hover text so that a member who happens to cursor over the nickname in the shout box is given more information.
(see screen shot)
If my shout box looks different it is because I captured this from the popup that I created for my members.
BTW.. It works fantastic. They use this more than the OTB crap IM...ALOT more...

Code:

In your shoutbox.php find:


<tr><td title=\"{$shout_arr['date']}\" class=\"{$shout_arr['class']}\">



replace with:



<tr><td title=\"View&nbsp;{$shout_arr['NickName']}'s Profile\nShout Posted\n{$shout_arr['date']}\" class=\"{$shout_arr['class']}\">

Enjoy.
