The custom field was setup as a selection based system. Meaning, that you would have to put options for the user to select from in that.
Some of the requests that I have been getting, such as this one, is going to require a rethink of the system and most likely a recoding. I will add these to the list!
Alright, had a chance to look at it and the branding is in fact turned off. What I assume you are talking about is the images. You can either turn them off by blanking out the component and module images in the component configuration, or you can replace the image links with images of your own design.
But looking at your installation, the lower branding is off and working as expected. Please let me know if you need further assistance.
Let's start off with a couple of questions. What is the URL of your site? What version of the software are you using? Did you select your branding option in the backend?
When you are talking about parsing links are you speaking about rewriting the URLs?
If so, then no -- I do not have that functionality in there. I did not feel that it was value added as the system will display the link and the click events are tied to loading the shoutbox main display.
I would love to be able to tell you, but it was not something that I had planned. There will be some reworking of the system in order to achieve this and I am in the middle of a few more things.
Best guess is that I will not return to this project for a couple weeks at the earliest.
The first and seconds lines, need to point to the correct files in the correct paths. You may have to ask your hosting provider to get the path for the Zend.
