If you have not solved it, can you zip the whole cshout folder and send it to me? And show me how you insert it into your website. I will look into it.

Usually, it will show error if it could not write into cshout.txt (try default theme, not sure yahoomessenger will show it at all).

NFA_cronie : I am changing the properties on the ftp://domain_name.com/cshout/ folder I assume that’s right. Help!

You need to change the permissions on the actual cshout.txt file.

So far the shoutbox is hidden from the world so giving you the address really won’t help.

We are on a phpbb3 board and I invoked cshout with the HTML code

where the iframe is slightly longer than that of the cshout box. Worked fine except that I can’t send.

If I make the src=”http://domain_name.com/cshout/cshout.php” I get:

I think this chunk of code is in functions.inc.php in the cshout_main function - just after the echo.

cshout.txt lives in the cshout folder. I clicked on its properties and ticked every permission box (user, group, all, read, write and even execute): nothing.

I am changing the properties on the ftp://domain_name.com/cshout/ folder I assume that’s right.

Help!

Yup, that is the most suspicious one. Try to access the cshout.php yourself. If you follow the instruction by default, you should be able to access the file at http://yoursite.com/cshout/cshout.php. If you think that the url is a bit different, you must update the following two configurations:

$cshout_jsconfig['script_url'] = ‘/cshout/cshout.php’; // strip out http://yoursite.com
$cshout_config['url'] = ‘/cshout/’; // strip out cshout.php from script_url

If you can work it out, pls let me know where you host it I can take a closer look.

Cheers,
Tien

Hi, great looking shoutbox. I’m having some trouble getting version 3 to work. I get an error, “Error connecting to server: Access denied.” I believe the script is having trouble accessing cshout.php and the $cshout_jsconfig['script_url'] variable is returning the wrong path for my server (but I could be wrong as I’m not very experienced with php). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Don’t worry, I will make the change to the code with a config allowing you guys to switch on and off this features. Since some of you have asked. Stay tune.
