Shouty

Shouty (shoutbox) is a Wordpress plugin for you to receive messages from your users. It creates a custom post type called "shout" which will allow you to administer shouts from the Dashboard as you do for the default post types. You can add Shouty in a post, page or a widget using its shortcode. The shortcode has certain options for you to customize the look and function of the Shouty. Shouty shares messages using AJAX and protects your blog using Honeypot spam protection technique. Users must log in to share shouts. When a shout is shared, the user's avatar is set to be the featured image of the shout so that you can later make use of it. It doesn't accept any HTML but http and https links are converted to a tags when the shout is shared. You don't have to worry about unclickable links. Options you can set for the shortcode

• user (show | hide; default: show; Displays user information at the top of the form)
• user_avatar_size (in px; default: 64px; Changes size of the user avatar in user information)
• form (show | hide; default: show; Displays Shouty form and the share button)
• messages_title (show | hide; default: show; Displays a title at the tops of the shouts)
• messages_number (a number; default: 10; The number of shouts to be viewed in one time)
• messages_users_avatar_size (in px; default: 32; Changes size of the user avatar on the left of the each shout)
• look (post | widget; default: post; Switches looks - widget look is more compact)

The plugin is written in English and has been translated into Turkish by myself . German (by Pascal Jordin) and Serbian (by Ogi Djuraskovic) translations are also available. You're welcomed if you want to translate it into your language. Use translations.pot, rename it as shouty-LANGCODE.po (e.g. shouty-tr_TR) and open it in Poedit. Translate and save. There should be a MO file created by Poedit. Send PO and MO files to me, then I will add them in the next release.
