Hello!


I'm just finding my way around these blocks and so far only two things are bothering me:

1. I'd like to be able to use HTML character codes in ezBlock titles just like I can in their body. (Right now I can't give Romanian titles to my ezBlocks because the HTML codes for special Romanian characters show up as plain text.) I guess this could be implemented in the next version of ezPortal.

2. The shoutbox history IFRAME is reusing my forum's overall background image, so it looks like it's "transparent", plus it shows the upper-left corner of my background image a second time, which is just ugly. Can I hack this so it doesn't use any background image whatsoever? (I have ezPortal v0.3.0.)

Thanks.

1. Will have to look into. You may try to convert the ezportal database tables to utf8 and see if that helps. If not I can take a look and check my functions if they support utf8.

2. I plan on changing it to ajax script in the next release which should fix the iframe issue.

2. OK, but I was asking if there's something I could edit now to get rid of that horrible duplicated background.

(Ajax? Hmm... I used to have an Ajax-based shoutbox, but that was before it hogged all my bandwidth and made me throw it out.)

You would have to edit the shoutbox code. Mostly the template file in the ezportal.template.php it loads the default style.

Dear EzPortal

here i am again  ;)

We are very happy with the shoutbox..again thanks!

But there are two things we hope you can fix:

- at the moment only admins can delete shouts in the shoutbox itself (X behind the sentence). Is it possible we can give this permissions to other staffmembers/usergroups?
f.y.i.: we have not so mutch admins. But we have a whole staff who we trust. We would like to give them permission only to delete shouts from the shoutbox itself...no other permissions...just that. Also the possibility to take that permission back again if neccessary. As we have a lot of members, sometimes intervention is neccessary as they sometimes misbehave. If we are able to give more staff members this permission, more people can keep an eye on the shouts.

- following we see: if we enable autorefresh the font size gets smaller in the shout box. If we then look into shouthistory, the fontsize is normal. We woukld like to have the normal fontsize if possible..the bigger one.

I hope you can help us in the above. We are very happy what you've done sofar for us..the above are small things, but if you can help us..the shout will be more than perfect!

Thanks in advance
Kind regards
Katrien

I can look into doing both for next update of EzPortal

I really want to redo how the portal does autorefresh and get away from the iframe.

Does anyone know which file I need to edit to create a line break between shouts?

I am using it in the side panel and it looks very messy. I'm busy moving over from E107 and I like the format of the shout box, it can be seen at http://www.airtimeclub.co.za the new site chat is at http://www.airtimeclub.co.za/forum

Thanks in advance  :)
