Question Getting the shoutbox to work on a new style/template

[ringnews24]

I have a new style/template.

How do I get the shoutbox working on the new style/template?

If you are using the Manual Deployment feature, you need to perform the same edit as you did with your previous style.

If you are not using the Manual Deployment feature, the new skin may be lacking critical template hooks and ad locations, and you may need to switch to manual deployment.

Thanks for that.

I followed your previous steps and got it back working http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/f29/how-do-i-15516/

How do I only put it in only 1 forum section/category?

Wrap the vBShout instance display code in

<vb:if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == X">

</vb:if>

Where X is the forum ID you want to use it in

Do I put this in the navbar template?

instance1

<vb:if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == X"> {vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1}  </vb:if>

That right? (I know I still need to change X to a number)

Also what number do I put in to get it to display on the frontpage? ( KO Boxing Forum )

You should put it in the FORUMDISPLAY template for it to show in an individual forum.

Also what number do I put in to get it to display on the frontpage? ( KO Boxing Forum )

To get it on the front page, you'd put

<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index'"> {vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1}  </vb:if>

in the navbar template, or just

{vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1}

on the FORUMHOME template.

Another issue (see image) How do I make the box bigger?

Also I cant seem to get the vbshout sticky message to change.

New thread announcements are giving me a 404 error.

CAPS in shoutbox are turned off yet members can post in CAPS.

(Note: I did install a new template and move servers recently to NGINX)

 

[Fillip H.]

If you've moved to nginx, you will need to apply the contents of the nginx.conf file to your nginx configuration and restart nginx before DBSEO can function correctly. Any other 404 errors would probably be a result of an incorrect nginx configuration.

The overflow is a theme issue, with excessive padding applied to the contents. It's in the CSS somewhere, related to the "popupmenu" and "popupbody" CSS classes. Unfortunately I can't be more specific

 

[ringnews24]

I added this in FORUMDISPLAY

<vb:if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == 17"> {vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1} </vb:if>

The shout isn't appearing here Chatterbox

any ideas?

Thanks

Have you disabled the automatic deployment feature?
