Honestly, the current Shoutbox plugin for Serendipity is not that great.
Is SmileTAG integration possible? Or are you guys working on a better Shoutbox plugin?

Thanks! :)

What is SmileTag? Most PHP code can be easily implemented into a sidebar thorugh a simple serendipity_plugin_externalphp plugin for example.

It's an open source Shoutbox (licensed under the GPL) which uses PHP and utilizes Ajax. It doesn't use a database by the way. It uses an XML file to store the Shoutbox entries.

Well, I think integrating that should be easy. MAybe you'd like to have a try at it? Just look at any of the sidebar plugins (serendipity_plugin_*.php) and in the generate_content() method you can just include the smiletag PHP file(s)?

Ok. I'll see what I can do although I doubt that I could really do something. I'm quite busy these days. But I'll try since I really need SmileTAG. It's just awesome.

Garvin, thanks for the prompt replies! :) I can't wait for 1.0-final.

The plugin was quite easy, I just added it to CVS/Spartacus.

It'll be available on spartacus.s9y.org within the next 24 hours.
