Hi gang. I came across this forum in a serach on my issue. I am running a shout box on my forum at the footer and I want to make it easy for my users and visitors to click smilies from my collection into the shoutbox posts. In the same way it is done on the regular posting board. I can get smilies in there because I know the quick bbcode for them, but my users do not.

Any help or advice on tweaking this would be welocmed.

Can anyone direct me toward learning how to do this, and/or a MOD add-on telling me what page to alter?

Here's my site so you can see the shoutbox and get an idea what I am wanting.

If you look into the code generated on the posting page, you'll see how phpbb does it.

Thanks, I will check that out. Then my question would be this: "Where in the Shoutbox pages do I put that code?" forgive me, I'm self-taught!!! ;)

Shoutbox mod files/copied files listed below:

## Files To Edit: admin/admin_db_utilities.php
## includes/constants.php
## language/lang_english/lang_admin.php
## language/lang_english/lang_main.php
## templates/index_body.tpl
## common.php
## index.php
## Included Files: admin/admin_shoutbox.php
## templates/style/admin/shoutbox_config_body.tpl
## templates/style/shoutbox_send_body.tpl
## templates/style/shoutbox_view_body.tpl
## shoutbox.php
## shoutbox_body.php
## shoutbox_send.php
## shoutbox_view.php

Again, my shoutbox at issue is

http://highdeserthub.com/forum

I would ideally like the link to show right before the "HIDE SB" hyperlink in the bottom right hand corner of the SB.
