Shoutbox

Shoutbox

Hi , i have just create a Wordpress AJAX shoutbox.

Im using jQuery Framework for this plugin, althought it using compatibility mode, im not very sure it will compatible with your other plugin that uses other javascript framework.

So what is really good about this shoutbox?

  • Simple design. Does’nt have graphics, colors, etc. So it definetely fit into your templates.
  • AJAX technology. Visitor doesnt have to refresh page to post into shoutbox.
  • …

How to install:

  • Download the packages here.
  • Unzip and copy on plugin directory.
  • Activate the plugin.
  • Go to widget page (yes, your template should be widget ready). And put it on your sidebar.

Customization:

  • This plugin doesnt really have customization, because its simple (doh..).
  • You can find the options on widget page.
  • If you want to delete comment, just log in to your admin account and delete link will be available at the shoutbox (not on administraton page).

You can check how it look on this website. Yes, the one on the sidebar.

Last changes:

  • Akismet support for spam checking. Try write ‘viagra’ (I turned off in this site)
  • Tweak AJAX process, more efficient.
  • Add only registered user allowed option.

Note:

  • There are several report on server high load on busy sites. So if you think your site has huge traffic, you should check your server load. If it too high, i suggest you remove this plugin and install shoutbox that not hosted on your site instead, like cbox or anything.

    Where exactly do you delete specific comments from the shoutbox? I can not find it in anywhere in my admin section. Please help. Thanks!

    Does the shoutbox have to be on the sidebar? Can I put it on the index or another page?

    Hello, thank you for making this useful, elegant plug in for Wordpress. I just installed it on my website. I was wondering if I can customize it so that the Name/Email/Message input boxes always show, without mousing over them. I get some visitors to my site that might use it if they saw that right off.
    Thanks again!
    Paul

      Hi Paul, thanks for using it
      Using wordpress plugin editor:
      select simple ajax shoutbox plugin on top right corner
      edit file ajax_shoutbox.php
      find around line 155
      #input_area{display:none;text-align:left;}
      and remove the display:none; into
      #input_area{text-align:left;}
