This one works for smf version 1.0.
For version 1.1 go here: Code for smf 1.1 (http://www.smfsupport.com/support/smf_for_free_codes/code_to_place_your_shoutbox_in_so_that_it_matchs_your_theme-t1382.0.html;msg23566#msg23566)
To do this you first decide if you want it centered , or to the left, or to the right.
Change the align tag in blue below to reflect your choice.
You will need to figure out the width for the table that is going to hold the shoutbox in it.
Change it where I have it highlighted in green.
If its not a very wide shoutbox you could try 20%.
The one at my test forum (link above) is set to 50.
Change that number until you get it as you like it.
Put YOUR shoutbox code in the area that is shown in red below.
You can put this in either your header or footer.
It will match your theme.
<table border="0" width="50%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="4" class="bordercolor" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="catbg" colspan="2">Shoutbox</td>
</tr>
<br>
<tr>
<td class="windowbg2">
<table width="100%" border="0">
Put Your Shoutbox code here
</table>
</tr>

You can change the width by changing the number in red.
Paste your shoutbox/chatbox code where it says: PLACE YOUR SHOUTBOX CODE HERE
You can change the words Shoutbox to words of your choosing.
<table border="0" width="45%" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="4" class="tborder" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="catbg" colspan="2">Shoutbox</td>
</tr>
<br>
<tr>
<td class="windowbg2">
<table width="100%" border="0">
PLACE YOUR SHOUTBOX CODE HERE
</table>
</tr>
</table>

Wow! That looks great! This will work with any shoutbox though right?
Yes it will.
I set it up using cbox and set the width as I needed for it.
You'll need to change the table width to accomodate whatever shoutbox you put in it.

ok i have a new forum and i need to know now how to get a shout box in it it dont say any where on the forum where to put a shout box can anyone help me please
:'(
Let's not double post please ;)
You can put a shout box in your Header, your Footer, Portal Block or a Board Description area
To do it in your Header or Footer go to: Admin > Manage Styles > Edit Header/Footer
To do it in a board description create a board for the shoutbox, paste the shoutbox code in the boards description area. Its nice to do it this way as you can limit who can see it by the boards permissions
You will need to sign up for a shoutbox/chatbox someplace and get the code:
Here is a list of chat/shout boxes:
www.cbox.ws
www.yellbox.com
www.myshoutbox.com
www.shoutmix.com
www.shoutbox.us
www.tag-board.com
www.tagboards.tk
www.tagboardsite.com/
www.xat.com/

It can not change the shoutbox style itself.
You have the table width set to 400% btw. Should change that to 100%

Yep. Its just tables using html code.
You can stick any shoutbox inside that.. actually you can put just about anything inside it.. mess with the widths to get it as you want it.

Your forum should be SMF 1.1.10 (which means it is 1.1.*)

There are beta versions of 2.0. You can try it out at http://createaforum.com
But I don't know if SMF is going to add 2.0 to this service.
Post by: simply sibyl on August 16, 2009, 08:57:29 pm
So Sybil, does that mean that all forums are updated when a new version of SMF 1.1.x has come out?
Cassiel - yes he generally does minor upgrades right away; sometimes before they are announced via simplemachines as he has an inside track ;)
Post by: [FailSafe] on August 16, 2009, 09:00:57 pm
And thanks to the both of you for the info. :)
Post by: simply sibyl on August 16, 2009, 09:02:11 pm
Well seeing as 2.0 is only in Release Candidate i would hope that SMF didn't upgrade the forums seeing as how even the site warned against it for public sites since all of the bugs have not been ironed out yet.
And thanks to the both of you for the info. :)
He will not ever use Beta or Release Candidates for the forums.. not to worry

So when do you think he will make the jump from 1.1.x to 2.0? After it finishes the RC period?
IF he does it at all it would not be until it is out of RC - that I am positive about.
As far as the existing forums being upgraded at that point - that I do not know. That will be a decision he will make when the time comes.
