Template talk:Shoutbox

For this template to work properly, MediaWiki:Shoutbox-elterviest should be changed to  -- ◄mendel► 21:51, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Personal shoutboxes
It is possible to set this up for personal shoutboxes, see http://de.zinzendorf.wikia.com/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Shoutbox-url&action=edit and http://de.zinzendorf.wikia.com/index.php?title=Vorlage:Noquote&action=edit. However, would that be wise? -- ◄mendel► 22:28, August 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * No way for one to add in their own id? Ariyen 20:49, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
 * No, because different IDs are on different shoutmix servers. This template is just for the community-wide shoutbox. --◄mendel► 21:20, 30 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Couldn't you parameterize the server number (default=4) instead of creating separate widgets? &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 23:21, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, but I didn't know how to validate that properly. It is sensitive because it's part of the iframe URL, so I din't want to take chances. I'm going to add the parameter with, that should do the trick. --◄mendel► 06:08, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 * When I was testing the validation, I found out that the widget can use a non-server-specific URL, and it ought to work for all IDs now (it works for ariyen). That doesn't answer my original question though on whether this template should support/encourage personal shoutboxes (not that there's a big difference between using the template or the widget, mind you). --◄mendel► 06:42, 31 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Given the very low usage rate over the past 9 months... it would seem like that's a non-issue. &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 12:29, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
