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.

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!

Hi Paul, thanks for using it
Using wordpress plugin editor:
select
simple ajax shoutboxplugin on top right corneredit file
ajax_shoutbox.phpfind around line 155
#input_area{display:none;text-align:left;}and remove the display:none; into
#input_area{text-align:left;}Hi!
First of all, congratulations. It is excellent
But I have a question.
How can I put a background to chat?
Thanks

Excellent plugin for my auditions site! I ahve been searching for something like this. All of the actors and such that use my casting calls site will love this. Thanks again!
Hey there! LOVE the shoutbox. My only question is how easy it would be to add an “All Shouts” link or something like similar that would allow someone to see ALL of the shouts. Like maybe have it launch a secondary window with all of the shouts in it. How easy would this be to implement?
He,
it´s really cool stuff, but I don´t like the URL function. The user should not enter his url.
What can I do?
Best Regards
theres no option like that, so you should change the code.
edit ajax_shoutbox.php file using plugin editor
and find around line 65 says:
echo "" . __('Website') . "\n";delete that line.
Hello, i like your shoutbox. But one thing. I cant use it, there is a message “Request error” when i try to post something. Help? :/
that can be hosting or htaccess issue, i cant really help you, without seeing your wordpress code. sorry
Just installed this plugin on my site. Works fine. Thanks.
I’m wondering … where do all the old messages (ie the ones not shown on the widget) go? Is it possible to archive them?
sorry theres no feature like that, i will try add it on next update
Hi Indra — thanks for your shoutbox! We are using it on ideomancer.com, a speculative fiction website. I’m getting this error:
[Mon Feb 08 13:29:52 2010] [error] PHP Notice: Undefined index: nonce in C:\\www\\ideomancer.com\\WP\\wp-content\\plugins\\simple-ajax-shoutbox\\ajax_shoutbox_process.php on line 4, referer: http://www.ideomancer.com/wp/
Any thoughts?
Thanks again!
Try editing ajax_shoutbox_process.php file using plugin editor
find line 4:
$nonce = $_POST ['nonce'];and delete that line.
its a bug, i will fix that on the next update.
Hi, thanks for your shoutbox!!! Is the best!
I use it on test website about history of washing – mashine (only in czech lang, but it is not important 
). But… Im getting error (when I wrote message):
Warning: stripslashes() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /var/www/users/fuki/htdocs/muzeum.alien21.com/wp-content/plugins/simple-ajax-shoutbox/ajax_shoutbox_process.php on line 95
Then this message show and error hide for approximately 30 sec. Any idea? Thank you very much for any idea…
that line is akismet stuff,
i dont know why it has array there
try editing ajax_shoutbox_process.php using plugin editor,
go to line ~95 and change:
$query_string .= $key . '=' . urlencode ( stripslashes ( $data ) ) . '&';into:
$query_string .= $key . '=' . urlencode ( stripslashes ( (string) $data ) ) . '&';It works!!! Thank you thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you
have a nice day
