[ C ] Third Party Shoutbox
Topic Started: Nov 25 2011, 11:11 AM (676 Views)

Board Address: http://s15.zetaboards.com/EBWFBoards/index/
Board Software: ZB
Description: Our board is an RPG. We use the built in ZB Shoutbox for OOC Discussion, and we have a third party shoutbox for In Character "tweets". Previously our shoutbox was in the Footer, but this has caused some issues with trolls, because obviously, the footer is viewable to the public. I would like to be able to put the html code for the shoutbox in a place where it can be kept under the protection of forum masks. I have tried creating it's own "forum" and putting the HTML in the forum description, but it looks quite messy with the Post counts, members viewing, etc info on the right hand side. If at all possible I'd like to keep the shoutbox on the main page of the forum. Thanks for any help.

You could create a webpage and put it in there, the place a Redirect Link using group permissions to go to the webpage, just select "No" to show the link of it on the submenu.

That wouldn't keep the shoutbox directly on the forum though would it? It would be on a completely separate page from the categories. I'm just afraid if there are extra steps, people would use it a lot less.

If you want to use the forums own permission masks (which is the most secure way) then that is the only option, besides the two you already mentioned but if you post the code then i could use JavaScript to only display it for members of your board. It won't be as secure though as anyone who knows anything about JS could circumvent the code and display it for themselves, but about 99.9% of poeple wont even know there is another chatbox to circumvent.

display: none;
}

#forum-1687948 td.c_forum {
text-align: center;
}
</style>

Code:
 
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#forum-1687948 td.c_forum').attr('colspan', '5');
</script>
Replace '1687948' with the forum ID you are placing the shoutbox in, this will essentially remove everything but the shoutbox.
