Meebo Bar for PhPbb3 issue

by Martini May 3rd 2010, 9:30 pm

I would appreciate it if someone would exsplain how I can add the bar to my forum http://abducted.forumotion.com/forum.htm.

I have found a few posts here talking about adding it to a widget and/or there might be an other way of adding it, unfortantly most of the post claim that the orriginal poster fixed the issue with out exsplaining it in the thread and marked the thread solved and locked. But I know it is possable on forumotion because I have seen a few forums with it.

Here is the instructions and code given by meebo's site:

1.In your template, immediately following the opening <body> tag, insert the following code:

<script type="text/javascript">
if (typeof Meebo == 'undefined') {
Meebo=function(){(Meebo._=Meebo._||[]).push(arguments)};
(function(q){
var d=document,b=d.body;
if(!b){var cb=arguments.callee;return setTimeout(function(){cb(q)},100);}
var m=b.insertBefore(d.createElement('div'), b.firstChild), s=d.createElement('script');
m.id='meebo'; m.style.display='none'; m.innerHTML='<iframe id="meebo-iframe" frameBorder="0" ></iframe>';
s.src='http'+(q.https?'s':'')+'://'+(q.stage?'stage-':'')+'cim.meebo.com/cim/cim.php?network='+q.network;
d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s);
})({network: 'abductedmotorsports_se03vo', stage: false});
Meebo('makeEverythingSharable');
}
</script>

2.In your template, immediately prior to the closing </body>, insert the following code:

<script type="text/javascript">
Meebo("domReady");
</script>

At this point, I have tried adding it to the message box and a widget and all I get is the script displayed in a box on the forum.

As stated in my title I am using phpBB3 (prosilver) with a prefab skin.

Hi, I added the same bar to my forum a couple of days ago. My forum works on a phpBB2, so it may not work on phpBB3 (I'm not familiar with PHP coding, so I don't see the diference Very Happy

).

Anyway, this is what you need to do in order to set up a Meebo Bar:
1) In the Integration Wizard choose I host my own blog / site or use a different blog platform.

2) After clicking on it, you will get two HTML codes. Copy them both.

3) Go to your forum, AP > Modules > Forum widgets management > Create a widget
4) In the Widget name enter what you want (e.g. Meebo), Use a table type: No, Leave Widget title empty. In Widget source paste the two HTML codes you copied. If you made it right, it would look like this:

5) Now save the widget and put it on your forum.
6) The bar should now be working. All you have to do is customize it. Hello

This is actualy one of the 1st steps I tried to do, unforntantly when I do it this way, I get one of two outcomes.
1. If I dont hide the widgit, all I get is a box on the forum with the HTML
or
2. If I do hide the widgit, I get nothing.

Hmm, I don't know the answer then. As I said, I use phpBB2 (if that makes any difference) Wink

make sure the html box you paste your code in shows a green plus with html written on it
try using this code

Code:: <html> <body> <script type="text/javascript"> if (typeof Meebo == 'undefined') { Meebo=function(){(Meebo._=Meebo._||[]).push(arguments)}; (function(q){ var d=document,b=d.body; if(!b){var cb=arguments.callee;return setTimeout(function(){cb(q)},100);} var m=b.insertBefore(d.createElement('div'), b.firstChild), s=d.createElement('script'); m.id='meebo'; m.style.display='none'; m.innerHTML='<iframe id="meebo-iframe" frameBorder="0" ></iframe>'; s.src='http'+(q.https?'s':'')+'://'+(q.stage?'stage-':'')+'cim.meebo.com/cim/cim.php?network='+q.network; d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s); })({network: 'abductedmotorsports_se03vo', stage: false}); Meebo('makeEverythingSharable'); } </script> <script type="text/javascript"> Meebo("domReady"); </script> </body> </html>
