Hi and thanks for the speedy reply, Sorry for sounding thick, but which edit template is it, the one in webpages, or styles and how do i create an Editor User ? i did say simple, and i cant see where it says default template in either of them... where will this overall_header text appear, how do i get to that.. sorry again but i am an absolute beginner at this and i hold my hand up high....

Well that was simple. For example. To create the editor user....go to the index, click register, then put the name as "editor". Then you will be editing the styles because you are not working with your webpage. Here, I will go as simpl as I possibly can: Go onto your Administration Panel. Go down to Style's Admin. Click Edit Templates/Logos. Go to your defualt template. You defualt template would be the one you are using now. You should know what your defualt template is since you have custom template on, not the regular Silver one. Go go to "myfs_[your forum][1,2,3, or 4]". The 1,2,3, or 4 refers to which one you used to make your defualt. I am assuming you are on myfs_[yourforum]1, because you said you are new. Go under the defualt one. Go to "Choose Forum template/javascript/css File to Edit", then use the dropdown bar to go to "overall_header.tpl". Submit. Then scroll all the way to the bottom of all the text. Then paste in the HTML your chatbox provider gave you. Submit. Then you are done. I hope that is better. Naruto RP Center: http://narutorpcenter.com

yup, admin panel, down to number 3(portal settings) and click the icon with BLANK written under it, give it a name like SHOUTBOX and a title of Shoutbox, then go into the template you want the shoutbox to appear i.e. slot3 then look in the bottom right drop down list and search around for cms_shoutbox.tpl, edit it and add the code.

is there a shoutbox that enables only people that have signed up to your forum to use the shoutbox?

No, not without installing a hack for all forums, unfortunately it's something that has been rejected in the past and with the various improvements lately I don't much see it getting reviewed for a while longer.

However if you can place your shoutbox inside the login switches of your forum to hide it from guests, this way only members can post in there:

Code:

Shoutbox code here........

This would be best placed in your overall_footer.tpl file, just before the </body> tag.

I'd be interested to see what/how you've done it... I have opted to put my shoutbox in a portal with switches and in a forum description with permisions preventing guests viewing/posting...

To save people waiting for IGT, his shoutbox is by: http://www.freeshoutbox.net/ it does have admin, but it also has adverts, so it is your call. _________________ CALM TIME: When calm time is called, all posters in a topic must take time out to calm down. I'm better than Jose!
