I put a shoutbox on most of my pages, at the bottom of the page. Users complained it was hard to see if there were any new shouts so I hacked up this lil' plugin to display it
1 - Import my plugin thelastshout_v11.xml (no bbcode parsing) or thelastshout_v12.xml (bbcodes parsed)
2 - On Header template
Find
<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open
BELOW that, add this code
<table align="center" width="100%"><tr>
<td align="right" class="smallfont"><a href='vbshout.php?{$session['sessionurl_q']}do=archive'>Last Shout by: $GLOBALS[thelastshout]</a></td>
</tr></table>
3 - You can add $thelastshout to any other templates where you want the last shout to show but you must install this mod (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=96158) first.
PS: You might have problems with empty values on $thelastshout. If that happens just edit my plugin and change the "hook" from "global_start" to "parse_templates"
PS: This was done here (http://sinsdawn.ffproject.net/index.php) with the latest vBShout for flatfile, but it should work with the regular vBShout.
PS: Parsing bbcodes might mess up your forum layout, as smilies and images will make the one line entry on header higher. If you use that version (thelastshout_v12.xml) I recommend installing it on navbar not on header template.
