Tìtstewan, i tried it and no effect. Probably the presets only change time string, and next that string was used in whole forum.

[03|Jul 07:57 pm]:   Shoutbox is a plugin and doesn't take all the setttings, unfortunately.

What about shoutbox source code, are they user-friendly or messy? And license, was hacker-friendly or crappy "use and don't touch"?
I think, if the time was printed by simply php funcion:

Code Select Expand

date("d|M h:i a", $timestamp); and there should be possibility to change it to:

Code Select Expand

date($time_format_from_user_profile_from_database, $timestamp); or in pair with rtrim to remove % char from time string.

This is the mod page of the shoutbox, I think:
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/?mod=1295
...and there is a screenshot:

...and I think this option is avaliabe on the pro version only.

And modifying the original, I would be careful...

EDIT: Is there not somewhere a comand, for "use the users time" for that field?

EDIT 2:

It is not just easy to edit it. I looked at the code:

Code (php) Select Expand

'poster' => ($cmd_me ? '' : '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=profile;u=' . $s['ID_MEMBER'] . '" target="_blank"' . (!empty($s['colorName']) ? ' style="color:' . $s['colorName'] . '"' : '') . '>' . $s['realName'] . '</a>') . ' <span style="color:' . $shoutbox['timeColor'] . '">[' . ($s['timestamp'] > 0 ? timeformat($s['timestamp'], $shoutbox['timeFormat']) : $txt[470]) . ']</span>:',

Code (php) Select Expand

list ($count) = mysql_fetch_row($query);
mysql_free_result($query);

$context['shoutbox']['page_index'] = constructPageIndex($url, $start, $count, $shoutbox['startShouts'], true);

// get msgs...
$query = db_query("
SELECT ID_SHOUT, ID_MEMBER, realName, colorName, style, message, timestamp
FROM {$db_prefix}shoutbox
WHERE ID_SHOUT <= $limit
ORDER BY ID_SHOUT DESC LIMIT $start, " . $shoutbox['startShouts'], __FILE__, __LINE__);

$context['shoutbox']['msgs'] = array();
while ($s = mysql_fetch_assoc($query))

Code (php) Select Expand

// send msg
db_query("
INSERT INTO {$db_prefix}shoutbox
(ID_MEMBER, realName, style, message, timestamp" . (!empty($color) ? ', colorName' : '') . ")
values($ID_MEMBER, '$user_info[name]', '$style', '$msg',
'" . time() . "'" . (!empty($color) ? ", '$color'" : '') . ")", __FILE__, __LINE__);

return Shoutbox_GetMsgs();

and some other related codes...

I'm not particularly inclined to bang on the shout box code anymore since it is actually working, for a wonder.

Ok, everything here was possible, but code was to wired for editing it. Thanks for explain it. Now i shut up and try to learn wired time/date notation without next questions.
