We are working on a site where each group needs its own shoutbox, with a role in the group responsible for moderating only that shoutbox's posts. We are willing to sponsor this feature.

Did this get implemented??

I too am in need of such a functionality for Drupal 6 version.

Has there been any development in enhancing the feature to work for Organic Groups?

Not in shoutbox, to my knowledge. We've built our own module that we will be releasing back to the community. We call it a tipline but its essentially a shoutbox with moderation and while its not integrated with OG it simply requires a "key" that makes it unique, so each og group supplies it a key (the og group node id) and thus we have multiple tiplines (shoutboxes). If no key is supplied, it uses the page url as the key (so in that sense, you could have a different shoutbox in a number of contexts).

This really sounds great, so tipline can also be used in user profile context, this is awesome :) will keep a look out for your module.

Thanx.

solomongifford: how is development going on this module? I could really use a decent shoutbox for my site (this one has a lot of problems). I'm willing to help out if you guys need it.

This is exactly what i'm looking for in a current project. Any ideas on an ETA?

SolomonGifford’s picture

We're going live with it within a week. If someone is interested in helping to get the project onto drupal.org let me know.

archard’s picture

I can help you out with that. I know CVS can be confusing. Just let me know.

I would also be interested in helping out. Can test if you need.

Solomon,
I like the approach you have taken. Would you consider integrating this with shoutbox?

jackspiv’s picture

I've been looking for this for a while too!!

Can't help with coding but will be willing to test in D5.12

I would also be interested in helping out. I can test it on 6.9

*licking my lips* This is awesome! I'd be willing to help test/fix etc. the module as well. Let us know when it's up here! Thanks!

Hi Solomon,

Has this module gone live yet?

SolomonGifford’s picture

We go live on Wednesday, 3/4/09....I've also set up a demo site so people can see if this is something they are interested in. Putting up the demo site was our first step in making sure we remove all dependencies on other custom stuff we are doing. We hope to release soon!

As an aside, we are also using this as a substitute for the comment module. We've integrated it with hook_link so that if the tipline is on a node correctly, nodes can have the "1 comment" "be the first to comment" etc...

Solomon, The tipline demo works pretty good, awesome work. Hope you guies go live with the module soon, looking forward to it.

Great Job :)

Hi Solomon,

Any update on the release of the tipline module?

arski’s picture

Hmm, any news on this one? Been a while since the last update

highvoltage’s picture

Also wondering how this turned out. A project page for the other module was never created... At least not that I'm aware of.

Quick Question. My users love the group shoutbox feature, but is there a way to specify that this is the "XXX Shoutbox" vs the "Public Shoutbox". The title at the top of the block just says "Shoutbox" so my users are confused as to which one they are looking at.

Thanks!

mstef’s picture

if you're inside a group, it's the group - no matter what. The shoutbox pages also have the group in the title.

jen.c.harlan’s picture

OK, maybe that's the problem then.

I don't really have shoutbox pages. I have the shoutbox in blocks on each groups forum and home page. How do I make shoutbox pages?

mstef’s picture

they're made automatically...look at the 'All shouts' link in the bottom of the shout block. That will point to either the general shout page or the groups shout page. There should also be a link inside the Group details block for OG.

This is also a duplicate of #1286350: Port Shoutbox Group in D7, which appears to have some development attached to it for the 7.x-1.x branch.
