Clueless

Hi guys,
here is my thing.
I always used the s9y shoutbox plugin but i've had it with the spam it got. So i looked for another shoutbox, hosted externally (did this on purpose so i didn't have to worry about those fckin spam measurements no more). I found one, and now i have put in in an iframe in the sidebar. But this sucks since the lenght/height of the shoutbox changes (due to new messages etcetera). So i need something like an include. But i cant get phpincludes/smartyincludes to work so i am totally clueless. This my site: www.jeflog.nl en this is the adress of the shoutbox: http://yummyboard.net/rb.php?rb=MzA=

Byeby.
Jeff

Hi!

Yeah, iframes always need a height. But you could give it a larger height and make the iframe scrollable?

You cannot use a PHP include, because that will mess with the output. By using such an external host, you can only use an iframe or frameset. Or you need to look for a provider that lets you embed the shoutbox via javascript, like google adsense does.
