Message Box (Shout Box), pop-up feature?
#post7596
Hi,

Actually, there are already enough features that I could ask for in memt. However, one more demand..

I don't want to put the Message Box sitting in front page and occupying some space. Instead, I would like to put a hyperlink there, so that once clicked, message box pops up in new frame.

It seems message box page does not exist in its own (because whenever I open message box page from admin control 'Pages' I get website's home page)... otherwise, i could pop up that page as frame.

OR BETTER SOLUTION:

Instead, can it be collapsed? So that when that link is clicked, message box expands and becomes visible.. (The same feature used for adding 'smiles' in message box)

Thanks

It's a block, not a page. The page called messages is used to show messages in homepage.

Yes it can be collapsed (using the same code as the administration box in the navigator in 3.8.0 or smiles as you said)

Get the attachment. I put a simple image as button, of course change it in whatever you want
Attachment: block_messages.php

Hi

Open block and find line 31:
code

echo "<div class='mexblock' style='display:none;'>";
 

Just delete style='display:none;'
Like this:
code

echo "<div class='mexblock'>";
