Hi,
I am using and trying to modify a free asp shoutbax application that I found on the internet with my forum. You can see it working on my site (URL in sig). Anyway what I want to do is format the messages using some of the forum code, mainly the smilies & the badwords filter. I was guessing this should be pretty easy since the page where they are displayed already has inc_functions.asp and inc_top.asp included in it. The problem is I have no idea as to how I go about this. You can download the 3 files you need to display it HERE if you want. The page that displays the shouts is yell_display.asp and the backend page that adds the shouts to the DB is yell.asp
TIA in advance for any help as to how to do this. Maybe when I have got this going I will try other formatting such as colours and bold etc. |
Cheers,
WeeVaa.

Maybe I better explain a bit better, I was a bit vauge above. What I want to be able to do is have users just enter a shout with the standar smilie in it , [ :)] and have it displayed as a smilie when it's show on the front page. I would also like any swear words (bad word filter) to be taken out and replace with stars, just like what happen when you make a post in the forum. If you still dont understand me just ask, sometimes I have trouble conveying my ideas on paper (or high resolution CRT/LCD  ) |
Cheers,
WeeVaa.

hi~ eggyfarts,
i take a look at the code of yell mod?!
maybe you can try integrating this small stuff to Snitz,
i think it'll be a useful and small cute "mod".. 
and if you did'nt want to change too much to the yell code,
the easiest way to add smile/forum code feature, maybe you can try this...
change this..
rsYell("YellMessage")
to this.....
Smile(chkString(rsYell("YellMessage"),"message"))
<edit>if you just want smiles & badword filter.. maybe just like this is ok.... </edit>
Smile(chkBadWords(rsYell("YellMessage")))
that's all... the original code use some strange function to deal with
the message string... but if you just want to show smiles, some basic forum code and badwords filter.. i think it should be nothing influent to this....  |

| the chkstring should do the trick, if it doesn't work, it's probably a conflict |

I am using this:
Smile(chkBadWords(chkString(rsYell("YellMessage")),"display"))
It filters out bad words, and adds smilies but you cant add forum formatting for colours. Do you thik it would be easier to just add a drop down box for users to select the color of thier message? |
Cheers,

hi~ eggyfarts,
if you use chkString function/type like this..
chkString(YourYellMessage,"message")
it already can do the most of forum code transform work.
(of course, you need to have Forum Code turn on first... )
not sure why it wo'nt work for you......
maybe try adding this above that line..
strAllowForumCode = "1"
Smile(chkString(rsYell("YellMessage"),"message"))
and if you want to add the color pull-down menu.. it seem need a lots code added to the yell mod. but in basically, just as MaD2ko0l mentioned, copy some code from inc_post_buttons.asp. i think it maybe no necessary to do this if the yell edit textarea just ONE line no more 20 characters... |
