Category: Shoutbox

Users and admin of an installation of Tiki 7.1 with Apache / mySQL / Fedora 14 observe that the timestamp of shoutbox messages sometimes change when they edit the messages.

There's no apparent pattern which would explain when or why only some messages are affected.

This should be migrated to the community site, and handled with ((doc:Organic groups)) and ((doc:User Trackers))

Some users of an installation of Tiki 7.1 report they're not warned about shoutbox messages being too long, thus their messages are simply cut off rather than they're warned.

This was particularly reported for Firefox 6.0.2 on Windows XP Pro.

Others observe the warning is properly displayed with Seamonkey, Epiphany, or Firefox on Fedora 14 Linux with the GNOME Desktop V2.

Using __Shoutbox__ with __Autolink__ option enabled....

Entering http://www.foo.bar in the shoutbox correctly converts to [[Link], but entering http://foo.bar does not

It'd be nice to have an option which would open a new browser or window when clicking a URL in the shoutbox.

I upgraded a site from 12.x to 15.1, and attempted to use the post to the shoutbox while also posting to twitter, and I got this error message shown in the module:
{CODE()}
Failed to execute "shoutbox" module

Unable to enable crypto on TCP connection api.twitter.com: make sure the "sslcafile" or "sslcapath" option are properly set for the environment.
{CODE}

I'll google for it, because I might be missing some system package for the communication (I upgraded to this current server after tiki12 was installed years ago, and didn't use the shoutbox + twitter for a looong while).

But in any case, some clear documentation of what packages are needed for the feature to work, and display that info also in the ((doc:Upgrade Wizard)) as well as in the doc ((doc:Tiki15)) page will be welcome.

Ok, it seems the upgrade from Zend1 to Zend2 might have missed the definition of some new params needed by Twitter api which is used by the shoutbox feature in Tiki.

There can currently only be one shoutbox to a site (at least by any research I have done). Personally, I think TikiWiki is the best poised software on the net to bring people's data back home by creating by giving the general public the ability to create their own sites instead of being data mined on the current social networking repositories. By enabling each family member to have their own shoutbox it would in a sense give each person their own "wall" feature on their own group pages.

I can see how putting in the ability to have multiple shoutboxes would also benefit company sites by giving each project team using the same TikiWiki site as their collaborative space to have their own rapid update system specific to their individual project needs.

By visitors subscribing to (watching) individual group page shoutboxes a "Twitter" like capability quickly begins to emerge. This is especially true when people begin watching each others shoutboxes this could become a platform for launching a broad feature set.

I'm sure the potential benefits wouldn't be limited to these scenarios alone.

doesn't save messages like "Hi" etc.

In the shoutbox module, each post is followed by "x" and "e" links for delete and edit. Edit works ok, but the delete link doesn't. The edit link is a standard URL, but the delete link is a short URL. Clicking it produces a Tiki 404:

Error

Page not found
shout_remove=17

I guess the URL rewrite is wrong or something.

The shoutbox is throwing 500 server errors.

Some examples of links used on tiki.org that are throwing 500 errors:

After i install "Social Network Feature" and set a Facebook app/connection in the shoutbox module i'm not able anymore to remove an input. (tiki-index.php?shout_remove=nn)

I got a system error : An error occured while performing the request.
Suggesting to update the DB.

I have reproduce after SVN update and db update and db repair.
