First of all I am not the original author or the brains behind
this mod, I have just re-written it to be more easy to install and
more compatible with the latest version of snitz.
The original authors topic is Here
This has been tested on a clean install of Snitz Forum Version 3.4.05
with access database. The instructions included in the zip file are
based on a clean install, although it should be easy enough to
install on an already moded forum.

Looking very good. Does it produce a log file? Would be handy for admins.
Also, I notice it cuts the end off of long sentences. Is that deliberate?<

Well as the original mod, it can be altered to to allow as many characters as you want within reason I think, but its currently set at 100 characters, its determined by the limit of the text box characters.
To change simply open inc_shoutbox.asp and find
and replace the part in red to how many characters you want to allow.
I think a log file would be handy for busier forums.<

Rasure ... Nice job!
In the Links Manager MOD there is a script for counting the number of characters you are typing. Would you mind adding that to your MOD? This will help people figure just about when they have to end their shout!
One more thing, I tried to post a shout while not logged in, and it wouldn't go, which is fine if only members can shout. Would you mind hiding the entry form to be visible to members only (If shouting is only allowed for members that is.)?
Otherwise, thank you for helping us out with this one. Very nice!
Cheers,
Etymon

Just to remind people though I didn't author the original mod, I've just re- written it for ease of use and compatibility with snitz and cut down on the use of files and called it version2. The basic functionality as it stands as a Shout Box still lies with the original author, I just don't want to take credit for something that's not originally my work.
Yes I could add the character counter if people want it and I wasn't sure whether people wanted the Shout Box to show only if members are logged in? because as it stands stand it shows whether you are logged in or not but wont actually work until you log in. I suppose I could add a message stating that you need to logged in to use it or like you suggested hide the input box if not logged in<

I needed to make a few adjustments to the code (inc_shoutbox.asp) near the end of the file. It seems some extra </tr></table> tags were in there that were screwing up the whole layout of the forum. Once I deleted them, moved the </form> tag to the appropriate spot; all seems ok now. Nice addition to the forum. Works as a good replacement for that Alert Messenger Mod that I couldnt get working....I'm using it as an announcements mod for my forum, I adjusted the M_LEV level so that only Admin and Moderators can post an announcement, and I also adjusted the Auto-Refresh rates so that it doesnt "click click click click click click click click click click click click" every 30 seconds...man that was annoying. Much better (for my needs anyway) now. Thanks SO MUCH for doing this. It has been what I was looking for! GRACIAS!<
