Additional Features
Auto-Idle
The auto-idle system will drastically lower server load on sites with many users on at the same time. It allows you to automatically set the user to "idle" in the shoutbox, meaning the shoutbox will load shouts once, then idle the user until the click the unidle button or make a shout. Afterwards they will idle as normal (as set in the ACP).
Shoutbox Advanced Optimised Protocol
The Shoutbox AOP is a brand new feature that when turned on will dramatically cut server resources/bandwidth used by the shoutbox. Instead of the shoutbox refreshing every X seconds to check if there is new data, it will know when there is new data and only refresh then, meaning when there is no activity in the shoutbox, no resources will be consumed, or bandwidth.
Shoutbox Low Level Logging
The shoutbox low level logging system will provide you with a log of shout edits, deletes, bans, unbans, notices and remove notice commands. This will help you keep track of commands being used in the shoutbox. This can be turned off.
Private Message System
When clicking a username in the shoutbox, it will now open a new "tab" (This is a shoutbox tab, not a browser tab). In this tab you will be able to privately chat to the member where only they and you will see the messages. This helps split private chats and the main chat, and you can have as many private chats open as you like!
vBSEO Issues?
If you're encountering issues with vBSEO this is most likely due to the option within vBSEO to "clean html", you do not need to turn this option off, but you will need to change the plugin for vBShout. Go to the Plugin Manager within your ACP, and find the plugin: "Inferno Shoutbox: Deploy Shoutbox". Edit this plugin, and where you see the option "Execution Order", set this to 1 and save, you should no longer encounter issues.
Note
I'll update screenshots soon! 5am here right now...
Enjoy!

Inspired by Distance.. wow :p
Although I already had it installed before you released it and I was the first to download it.. (Sorry, Had to let everyone know that.. :p xD)
Its a great improvement from the vbshout 2.1 you released.. :D
The only things I think could be added are:
Ban usergroups
Show shoutbox to usergroups... x,x,x
New shouts at top / bottom
Shoutbox lockdown (Only userid1 can post)
Have a smiley menu
Anyway great release.. My users are already loving it :)

Found a small bug .. If a member makes a post, it's added to the shoutbox but if the post is deleted it still shows in the shoutbox.
Members are missing the clickable smilie row from the old 2.1 shoutbox.

EDIT: Also, any way to get it on the vB CMPS?
Inferno Tech
05-16-2007, 01:20 AM
The mod hasn't been tested on a slow server yet, but thanks to some of the new features (idle timeout etc) and a complete code optimisation and overhaul, it should be much MUCH more efficient.
Pro version is in the works, our aim is to release it within the next week, it will have lots of cool new features. Planned is:
Multi-Shoutbox Page Deployment
Double Click Fast Edits
Smiley Menu
The following commands
/silence
/private
/ignore
There are other features planned as well, but those will stay a secret for now ;)

Does this use the flatfile?
That version was such an improvement on system resources...
Could this version be used a long side the 2.1 flatfile version?
We use the 2.1 just for the staff, so an ajax one for the members would be a bonus :)

Unfortunatly this is not a flat file system but the code has been greatly optimised so that the shoutbox wont pull alot of resouces so your host should have no problem with it.

No this version does not use flat file althogh the code has been greatly optimised so it will still be a great improvement on system resources. Yes this version can be used alongside 2.1 thanks to the difference in deployment and filename.

Great mod! Depending on the price of the full version, I may purchase it.
However, in my shoutbox, clicking my username says that the user doesn't exist. The reason for this is because there's no ID number being given in the url of my name, within my shouts so the member.php can't $_GET anything.
[Edit]
I forgot to mention: quite easily my Nominated Mod of the Month.

Some problems...
1. No color change like on your SS for the top nav bar in the shoutbox. Same color the message area.
2. Click on user in shoutbox goes to: /member.php?u= leading to no member profile.

If someone with vBSEO and the shoutbox could give us access to their ACP/FTP so we can debug, that would be great. PM the information to Zero Tolerance please ^.^

ShoutBox Refinement Suggestions
* Automatic template insertion
To automate things and make things easier for those who want it simple,
make the ShoutBox by default place itself on the template, as you did
with your previous versions. You can leave the current option in for those
who wish to display the ShoutBox on multiple pages.
* Allow the tab color to be modified per skin. Issue:
Fine looking: http://img376.imageshack.us/img376/3919/sb1mv8.png
Bad looking: http://img376.imageshack.us/img376/1759/sb2sz6.png
More bad looking: http://img467.imageshack.us/img467/3475/sb3gv9.png
* Thread notice privileges
Make it so that user who are privileged to see threads of forums they can access,
see the notice only in the ShoutBox. I know you told me it requires a lot of processing,
for this I suggest an option to configure the refresh time as well.
You dealt with the activity moving to ShoutBox instead of forums issue very well!
Now if you fix this, it will be perfect. If I would have to use the current system to deal with this
I would have to configure half my community to not display thread notices in the shoutbox.
---
As for everything else, this is the best modification out there.
I can't wait for the paid version, I will get it nonetheless since you done such a good job.
Keep it up, I hope these issues can get fixed, then it will practically be 100% perfect.
EDIT
* Active users display bug
Alright, you can get a live example of this bug at my website (http://www.x-devs.com/).
Move from ShoutBox to active users and you'll see this:
http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/1188/sb4zy9.png
Move back to ShoutBox tab, and back to Active Users and it will display how it should then:
http://img376.imageshack.us/img376/7803/sb5xv6.png
It's not displaying correct from the first time, it will when you switch back to ShoutBox, and back to active users.
* URL issues
I suggest you maybe change the URLs applied to usernames who shout in the ShoutBox.
Right now the link applied to each user is:
http://www.x-devs.com/member.php?u=
Another Edit
* Disappearing text
After being idle for a while, all the text in the ShoutBox is disappearing except for the last posted one:
http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/3506/sb7xc0.png
When I refresh the page, it all appears again, but after a while goes invisible again:
http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/1996/sb8dw4.png
And More Edit
* Post notices link
I think it would be convenient to make the post notice link, go to the last post in the thread. Each time I click it now, I have to manually go to the last page myself to check the last post, having the link being automatically the last post would be much more convenient.
* Shoutbox / Active Users link
Right now the link configured on the text is the website's URL. As this serves no meaning to have it linked to the actual website (although if you click it, it even won't visit it, just display the shoutbox, or active users), why not have it just blanked out, or put a # in it?
* VBSeo support
I would really appreciate it, if you somehow add support for VBSeo to your modification, either directly, or add instructions in the first thread. I myself do not know how to do this for this version, however for your previous versions somebody posted instructions on the VBSeo forum:
http://www.vbseo.com/f2/vbshout-2-1-a-6809/#post40094
Maybe from this example, you could add support for your current version? (Maybe insert a feature, a "Do you have VBSeo installed on your community" "Yes" No" option to include this support, with the pro version or so :)?).

05-16-2007, 06:41 PM
could you let us know what it does to your portal and what portal system it is please? Then we may be able to help you out.
I don't want the shoutbox on the portal, so I didn't upload the files to the root directories.
Still, the plugins are loaded, which causes PHP errors because the files are non-existent.
The portal is Cyber-Phreaks PortalPHP, which was created by me and has not been publicly released as of yet. It's basic PHP, including vBulletin variables and plugins.
If the shoutbox is only to be displayed on forumhome, why is it queried on other pages?

Working fine here, yet you have to modify this plugin to make the links change to the rewritten urls. You can ask help for this at the VBSeo forums.

Also, the shoutbox is not valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
You need to change:
<form onsubmit="return InfernoShoutbox.shout();">
To:
<form onsubmit="return InfernoShoutbox.shout();" action="">
Or alternatively add an action, I suppose.

Yes me too.
And suggestion for Inferno Tech for the Pro version:
- Editable text (from ACP) that users who are banned from shoutbox/are not allowed to see shoutbox see.
I currently have vbshout 2.0 which shows "Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /vbshout.php on line 288" if your'e not allowed to see shoutbox.
I have however edited vbshout.php with a help of coder on my board to display a message. But I couldn't do it myself.

Oh, and for some reason, only one of our members' ID is placed in their URL. Whether it's relevant, or not, they are an "invisible" member (meaning that only Moderators, and Administrators can see them).

I don't want the shoutbox on the portal, so I didn't upload the files to the root directories.
Still, the plugins are loaded, which causes PHP errors because the files are non-existent.
The portal is Cyber-Phreaks PortalPHP, which was created by me and has not been publicly released as of yet. It's basic PHP, including vBulletin variables and plugins.
If the shoutbox is only to be displayed on forumhome, why is it queried on other pages?In the portal's .PHP file, I'm guessing your page title (THIS_SCRIPT) indicates that it equals "index". Therefore, your portal is being referred to by the shoutbox. Simply change your portals title from "index" to something else, like "portal" for example.

I will say that since installing this one over the flat file one originally posted on vborg, I've had a huge increase in db connection errors.
mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: User d8tabyte_db has already more than 'max_user_connections' active connections /home/public_html/forum/includes/class_core.php on line 273
I went from having maybe one - two a day to getting over 30. Ive even disabled the thread and reply posting in the box.

I like the mod..
Before i install on a live site, anyone can give feedback on server loads? I have a dedicated VPS with a medium sized vbulletin community(150+ users online at all times) The approx server loads are usually around 1.5-2.0. Would it be ok to run this along with some of the features turned off?(like new posts, threads notification)
Hornstar
05-18-2007, 06:38 AM
yeah im still thinking it the flatfile or this one would be better for server load (keeping the kickout time low of course)

That will cause problems with other things, Strife. Thanks for trying. <3 :p
For now I can fix the portal problem by just uploaded the files to root, but the userid issue would be nice to have fixed. :(

Question: Can we edit the number of shouts it displays without having to scroll up?
Edit: Also, if this is the lite version, is there a Pro version? If so, how much/what are the advantages?

I previously had VBShout 2 installed on my site but was asked to remove it by my host as it hogged too many server resources (both database version and flat file version).
Would really like to add it again but don't want my host to boot me off the server.
Any advice, greatly appreciated :D

Just an update for those wondering, the next release will patch up issues encountered:
Bugs Currently fixed for the next release:
XHTML 1.0 Transitional
User member profile links leading to null entries
Active shoutbox users fixed (invalid amount shown, duplicate entries shown)
URLs will be linked automatically, if you allow the option to use [url] bbcode within the shoutbox.
Enabled option to switch to an alternate shoutbox layout, curved elements will be removed at the cost for functionality. Only use this if you're having issues with your styles and the shoutbox display.
Drop thread linkage on reply/thread creation notices if link bbcode is enabled.
Use alternate methods to link to threads in reply/thread notices to visit thread without opening a new window.
Make thread links in thread/reply notices go to the last post within the thread.
An off switch for any thread/reply notices.
Thread titles with special characters messed up in thread/reply notces.
Special characters in different charsets.
Shoutbox notice now made slightly higher than other shouts to fit in better.
Fixed shoutbox deployment plugin (didn't follow path directives).
JS error when user was banned and system attempted to fetch new shouts.
Bugs pending for the next release:
vBSEO compatability (Pending on information to debug)
Page Deployment Issues
Obviously people with vBSEO and a custom portal system are having issues right now, I know the person with the portal system said changing the "THIS_SCRIPT" constant to something other than 'index' would cause issues, however all frontend scripts are meant to have unique names for the THIS_SCRIPT constant, so I'm afraid that's bad implementation on the portals end. That said, Im not sure how this messes up your portal page, it would load the shoutbox for deployment, but without the template edit for your portal, the shoutbox wouldn't actually show, so perhaps you could eloborate on that for me? :)
As for vBSEO, currently looking into this still, if anyone can contact me via PM or Yahoo messeger (scot1ace@yahoo.com) that can offer ACP/FTP access please do so this can get fixed up :)
When's PRO coming?
Sooner than you think :)
I'll reply once the Lite version has been updated with the bug fixes, thanks for everyones feedback on errors and general likeness :)

You've entered the forum IDs correctly? Eg: 1,2,3,4,5......
If entered like that, new threads/reply notices will not show for the forum IDs specified. The update will be released soon which gives you a quick on/off switch for the entire feature though, just waiting on vBSEO to process my order from them (I hate waiting).

This is working fine so far on my live forum, however, I've MANY sub forums and it's pulling in replies from all of them.
I think an option to switch the 'post latest replies' on & off would be immensely useful, else folks are stuck removing forum id's 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,....99,101,102 - not very practical in that one regard.
Another area I think shuold be standard is the to have groups enabled & disabled for viewing of the shout box.
I'm happy with all my members seeing it, but I don't want guests seeing the shoutbox until they've registered. So, with that in mind, I did this little code to block guest from seeing the shoutbox.
<if condition="!$show['registerbutton']"><!--{%SHOUTBOX%}--></if>
Hope that helps anyone who's wanting to stop guests seeing it too.

Hey there, Great modification! I can't wait to see the pro version.
Quick questions though:
1. When i click on a user's name it gives me this message: "This user has not registered and therefore does not have a profile to view." the link it brings me to is http://habbocentral.us/forums/member.php?u=
2. It does nothing when i type in /prune username, only when i type /prune (which deletes every shout)
Let me know what i should do to fix these problems. and i just uploaded this modification a couple hours ago.
Thanks,
Sarv.

Have you had a chance to work on the bug fix for the skin blak_ice? If so I cant wait till pro comes out then I will definatly be one of the first to snatch that up ;)

The price of the pro version hasn't been determined yet, because we are still considering giving a discount to people who own certain other inferno technologies products. The price for the mod on its own, if you do not own any other product, will likely be $30-50, which would include free updates forever.

Hey,
I've encountered another problem:
Users using IE as their browser sometimes get an error with the new shoutbox (I turned it off and they don't get the error anymore). The error says "A script on this page is causing Internet Explore to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive"
Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks, and hopefully you'll look into it :)

Hey, great work... I haven't had a chance to read through all nine pages, but I gathered that a premium version of the shoutbox is under construction, has control over message history been shunted into that, i.e. controlling how many shouts show in the scrollable space/having a separate paginated .php page of shout history? Also, the option for direction of chat, i.e. scrolling top/down vice versa? I can change how many shouts show in the scrollable shoutbox itself via the engine php file, but it would be nice to be able to control this from the cp

Thank you Zero Tolerance, ITech.
Have 3.6.7 PL1. Uninstalled vBHackers ZT vBShout V2.1.
Properly installed [AJAX] Inferno vBShout Lite, but...
The Shoutbox activity/refresh thingamabob refreshes frequently, every 5 - 10 seconds. Whew.
Pages/refreshes started to lock up. Even in ACP, had browser lock up trying to, say, come back from vBShout params to the ACP main menu. Had to stop browser (ie), restart w/history cache clear, before I could get back into the ACP.
Users/friends also testing Shoutbox had browser locks since the IVL install. Closing browser, re-opening was the only recourse.
Have now uninstalled. Don't like V2.1 sb dir 777 setting; won't re-install V2.1. Awaiting vBShout, the Professional Version. Truly am. It's a great add-on in vBulletin. Adds a lot to our member's involvement in our forums.
Qs about the vBShout Settings:
Allow Images Why is default Yes? What are the Pros/Cons?
Idle Timeout Just what [i]is "a high number?" 99999?
Inferno Tech
05-22-2007, 11:19 PM
well GZE has its timeout set to 2000, which is about 35 minutes, so thats a high number. The shoutbox is AJAX, are you sure you done a fully clean install? We havent heard of anyone else having those problems. If you could try visiting the GZE page (http://forums.gzevolution.net) and letting us know if you have the same problems there, so we can work out if its your browser or your forum thats the problem, that'd be great.

Wow, a fantastic new release of vBShout! I can't wait for the Pro release. There are a couple of things that the pro version should have in order for me to buy it.
* Option to put it in a module @ vBAdvanced (Like here... (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=97497)).
* Show it on all pages
* The same or less server load then vBShout 2.1
If it got those options I will definately buy it!

I'm afraid such option isn't available in the "Lite" version, but you can do this for where you place your shoutbox:
<if condition="!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, X)">
<!--{%SHOUTBOX%}-->
</if>
Change 'X' to the usergroup ID you wish to deny, and the shoutbox won't "show" for them :)

Oh come on. Don't start crying that he doesn't want to share. He shares enough as it is; he can choose to sell his products if he wants to. I'm glad he released a free version of it as it is. If you want a good forum, you gotta be willing to spend alittle cash on it.
FYI, the smilie feature isn't going to be the only thing in PRO. If he hasn't said anything about what's gonna be in pro, THEN you'd be impressed. He's not done yet. ;)

What you need to remember Paldo is that Zero Tolerance and the team have given up hours of their own spare time outside of college and work and real life to bring you such a high class hack.
You may not think that it is work the money but you need to consider the number o hours we have put into it and that if you went to a company for something similar that you would be looking to pay alot more.
Yes you may be able to find someone that will modiy it for smilies for you maybe for free, maybe for a little fee but can you guarrentee that it will be at the high standard that we offer?

Bozza, The vBAdvanced thing isnt on the feature list atm, but it may be adeed in a later update.
Showing shoutboxes on all pages will be in it, as well as showing different shoutboxes on different pages
It is already about the same, or slightly less, server intensive than 2.1, i believe.
CNBA it will let you set the shoutbox size and font size, so effectivley yes, you can set number of shouts. It will have a fully editable shout archive, and you should be able to search by content as well :)
@ Paldo - The shoutbox here is the most advanced shoutbox released for vBulletin, and is given to you for free. The pro version will have 2-3 times as many advanced features, and we believe will be the most advanced shoutbox created anywhere. Making products takes a lot of time, especially making products like this, which are large and complicated.
You would not go to work every day and work for free, so please, do not try to pour scorn on us for not doing the same thing.
The prices i mentioned are estimates, and we ARE planning on making it cheaper with other inferno technologies products, allowing people to grab great deals. I don't think there is a single person in here, who after seeing the full PRO feature list, will think that $30-50 is unreasonable, especially considering people pay hundreds of dollars for hacks which are less complex, and done by less able coders.

Thanks for your response Inferno Tech. I do hope you can make something for vBAdvanced because at this moment I use vBShout 2.1 as a module. Someone made a little add-on for it to show it in a vBA Module. Isn't it so that you can check that add-on and perhaps make some alterations to it so it works with Inferno vBShout? I use it as a module because I got my forum integrated with vBAdvanced and I just checked the vBShout module for every page so it's everywhere, no matter where I go.
Since the add-on for vBAdvanced for 2.1 is already available, I guess it's not a big job to get it for this one or am I wrong?

Can we have some admin commands which can allow 'temporary' blocking of a particular userid from using Shoutbox.

Could there be any reason why myself and other IE users get this error: "A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive" Once i take off your shoutbox, it fixes and no one gets this error anymore. I Do want to purchase the Pro version, but I just hope this will be fixed before hand. or assured that it's fixed when pro is released.

There cant be much of a change in standard just for a smiley button im sure?
There was a smiley button in 2.0 and 2.1 surely you can add it to this one please?
There are a lot more features that you can add for the pro version that peeps will
still want to and to pay for?
I have had a quick look at the code actually and was wondering if the code for v2.0 is similar, i dont think its gonna be that hard to disect v2.1 and add it to this 1 :)
I will have a play me thinks.
Yes you may be able to find someone that will modiy it for smilies for you maybe for free, maybe for a little fee but can you guarrentee that it will be at the high standard that we offer?

I duno if this bug was posted but -
When someone edits a post or Moderators editings posts, it makes a new shout in Shoutbox sayin a new reply was made.

Looks like I have to wait around 72 hrs, before the pro version is out.. :D

btw.. I think there should be a limit feature. Where the admin can set a post limit, before anyone can post in the shoutbox.. otherwise.. people tend to post more in the SB than on the actual forum...

Another feature suggestion for the pro version if it includes an archive would be to rel=nofollow on all links from it to lessen people's interest in spamming...

Quick question:
Where does this mod pull those fonts from? As in, what directory is it pulling the actual font files from?
I'd like to add a couple additional fonts.

Great hack, i hope it wont kill my bw like vbshout did.
For the people who want more shouts to be shown (more than default 20) check this line in inferno_engine.php:
function fetch_shouts(&$shoutobj, $limit = 20)
Change the number to fit your needs!:D
(dont know if this will hammer your bw tho)

He's already said (several times) that the smilies will be added into the Pro version. But no, he has NOT given an exact date on the release of PRO. Based on the wordage (is that even a real word?) from previous posts, most of us are lead to believe it will be available as early as this week.

Well it was supposed to come out today, Zero said. However, I checked and it's not out yet. He said Sunday would be the latest, and well Sunday is 2 hrs from being over.

I guess my question then would be, are those font files contained on the database side? Because I don't see a directory containing them anywhere in the forum directories. Please excuse my ignorance on the subject.

The fonts are located at your computer not on the server.
Any date to release the pro version?

Ah, so you can name whatever fonts you want in the .php file, so long as people have them, they'll have access to them. I figured there'd be a set number of the fonts included to insure everyone had access to the same ones, regardless what browser they were running.
OK, I wasn't sure about that. Thank you for clarifying that for me Kelekian, much appreciated.

that is right and pro will be about 72 hours tops due to work commitments and all that is left is the archive.

I would be cool if the Archive had autonomy from the shoutbox. That is, if sb gets pruned, only posts displayed in the shoutbox dissapear, but the older conversations could still be accessed in the Archive. Maybe for admins only, or permissions per usergroup.

Sarver this is a problem that only tends to appear on heavily loaded servers, could you let us know what your server loads are just to make sure it isn't another bug that has appeared.
Acid Burn - Inferno Technologies Developer
With the visitors that i get to my site, theres no way it has something to do with my server load. Plus, if it works for one browser (firefox) and not for the other (IE). it can't be the server. And the shoutbox 2.1 works fine, but this one does not. Any help?
FreshFroot
05-28-2007, 10:18 PM
wait for the pro and try that one out.. if it doesn't work, I'm sure they can give you a refund.. otherwise.. I have no idea I'm not a coder.

From what Ive seen here I will probably buy the pro version as long as it has these two features.
- Limit to the number of smilies per shout (You any idea how much a forum bogs down when some retard outs 1000 smilies each shout for 5 shouts in a row.... :( )
- Uses vBs Swear/ Language filter.
Anyone know yet if these two features will be included?
Hornstar

wouldnt be hard for them to include those features, so hopefully they will be apart of it.

Right pro has been released on GZE (http://forums.gzevolution.net) we need to upload the files on the inferno technologies website and then it is available to the public to buy.
@billspaintball, it was too late to put those features in this version but the next version of pro will have them

Zero,
I've been using some of your mods for years and I've never donated to the cause. This is the perfect opportunity to do just that. Most of your mods over the years have been high quality and they've brought a lot of functionality and enjoyment to my boards.
I just purchased the Pro version of the shoutbox off of the Inferno Technologies website. You have more than earned the $30 purchase price on this one.
Thanks for all the hard work and I look forward to seeing more mods from you guys in the future. Thanks again.

So far this mod is great except for one moderate bug: The shoutbox works in all browsers except IE. In IE, you can only see the top line or so of text. See the attached screenshot for what I mean. Any ideas what would cause this or how to fix it?
Thanks!

I would like in the pro version the option to be able to choose where to place the notice:, top or bottom of shoutbox.
IMO i like the newest shouts at the bottom, with the editor at the bottom, but have the notice at the top.
edit: how do i make the default font size bigger, because it is small and people are complaining on my site (pro)
Also the links are working, but could you make a feature in the pro version to have an option to enable an option if you are using vbseo, so it will dispaly seo urls in the shoutbox.
edit: I would also like to have the option to be able to give certain staff certain commands.
I would also like to be able to see logs of who is banned, ignored etc. and by who.
edit: if you idle out, i would like clicking the shoutbox button to refresh you in again.
Thanks.
