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.

    Hey!

    Thanks for a great plugin! When will you make the next update – if at all?

    There’s still a couple of problems on the usage side that you really should fix.

    First of all, you can’t write anything with & in it, then it cuts the whole line. So if you try to write “Command & Conquer”, the shoutbox will show only “Command”.

    Secondly, no links being posted in the box gets a “a href”-tag. So you have to copy and paste them to make use of them.

    Lastly, one can’t hit enter after writing something to post it right away. You have to click on the button. That also feels kinda unnecessary.

    Cheers!
