I've been working on this for quite some time and I've searched for hours trying multiple tutorials to try and get this shoutbox to show on the Cadence theme. The theme itself is absolutely perfect, but the implementation is a bit rough.

This shoutbox located here:

http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1295

It will install perfectly via the Package Manager and passes all the tests, but fails to show on the "boardindex" at the top of the page. I'm just wondering if there was an easy way to implement this directly into the stock Cadence theme. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, beautiful theme MLM. Thank you. 

If a mod edit fails you just have to make that edit manually.

I do not see any boardindex edits in the mod at all (in the 2.0 parse)

Well, I'm a complete noob to SMF and editing the themes for mods. Mind explaining how I could go about getting this shoutbox installed?

This is kind of a guess but just add this code in the template_body_below() in index.template.php

Code: [Select]

//SMFPacks Shoutbox -->
if (function_exists('template_shoutbox')) template_shoutbox('main');
// <-- SMFPacks Shoutbox


You can follow the manual install instruction given by the site you posted, I did it too and it worked. You only have to find all those files mentioned there and add or replace the lines as given. Don't forget to edit the individual theme files for all themes you want to use the shoutbox in. It should work fine without an edit other than the ones mentioned
