Ajax Shoutbox, no new life.
Posted by Paul

I know I wrote some time ago a post about that the Ajax Shoutbox gets a new life
This did happen a few days after that post. Badly enough for a lot users there were some users who werent able to follow the instructions I gave to receive support or to report bugs, and even after a few days the topic at phpBB.com was a mess.
Due to this, I decided at that moment that I again stopped the MOD, and that iam not going to publish it anymore in the feature. The MOD will, in the form of how it was, not come back again. It will not be published nor support will be given.
Posting a comment about when support starts again or where you can find the download will not help. I will not provide a download link nor provide support for it. This is caused by the few users who werent able to read what I wrote and just did what they thought was good.
Sorry all.
To give at least a very very very small bit of hope. For a current new site iam currently busy with a complete rewrite of it, and maybe maybe maybe I might publish that brand new version. Hower, iam not going to make anyone more happy as it looks like, so don’t expect that it happens, untill it actually did happen!
Looking back at the last 2 year

Last week I was again invited for phpBBweekly as guest, since a long time ago 
(Last year I joined phpBB weekly frequently for several episodes.). But if you have today time (16.00 UTC) I suggest you listen again, for the next episode of phpBBweekly. Why? You will see.
Things are going to change… (2)

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'DISTINCT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS p.post_id = p.topic_id GROUP BY DIS' at line 8 [1064]
SQL
SELECT DISTINCT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS p.post_id FROM phpbb_topics t, phpbb_posts p WHERE p.poster_id = '304' AND p.post_approved = 1 AND p.forum_id NOT IN (2, 3, 7, 9, 11, 15, 20, 21, 22, 26, 27, 28, 33, 35, 36, 38, 39, 45, 50, 52, 59, 61, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 71, 75, 76, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 90, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100) AND DISTINCT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS p.post_id = p.topic_id GROUP BY DISTINCT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS p.post_id, t.topic_last_post_time ORDER BY t.topic_last_post_time DESC
That sounds like a nub error.
How does MPV work?

We, as MOD team at phpBB.com, get regulary the question how MPV works and how we work with it.
This probarly is asked because a lot people think its a major part of our validation. This is absolute not true. MPV is a tool to help us with the validation and to see any basic problems. We dont deny MODs because of MPV directly, but because MPV saw a problem and we checked and confirmed this by hand.

As all of you know, phpBB.com was offline for some time in begin of februari. I did know that a lot of traffic here at my blog came from phpBB.com, but not that it was that much.
When I looked at my site stats a few minutes ago I noticed a large change in visitors at the time phpBB.com. I really havent expected it was that much, see the attached screenshot. Read more »
Ajax shoutbox, a new life?

A lot people know regarding my AJAX shoutbox MOD. Beside’s that it was very popular within the community there were also several problems with it.
The main problem, for me at least, was the user. Why? They didnt read the topics. They didnt read the support topics, while in a lot cases the answer was there. Because of that the support topics where getting huge, and people started to get angry. At a moment I decided to stop with it.
Currently iam thinking of starting with this MOD again. Ofcourse I still have the source code (Even if I said to several people that I didnt have it anymore!). Iam only not sure how to set up the support for the MOD itself. Doing it at a single topic at phpBB.com will instantly means a large failure, so that will not work. So iam thinking of setting up a seperate board for it so I can use that.
Hopefully more on this soon 
But now the question. What features does the MOD need to have? It already had some really nice features, but I still think it need some more. Good stuff to think about .
