[DBTech] vBShout v6 (vB4) [AJAX]

[DragonByte Tech]

so why doesnt the sound work?If you are having problems with sound, please follow this check-list:


1) Did you select a sound to be played in the Instance Manager?
AdminCP -> DBTech - vBShout -> Instance Management -> [Edit] -> Shout Sound / Invite Sound / PM Sound

2) Are sounds turned on?
AdminCP -> DBTech - vBShout -> Settings -> Enable Sounds

3) !!!Pro Only!!! Are sounds turned on in the UserCP?
UserCP -> Shoutbox -> Shoutbox Settings -> Shout Sounds / Invite Sounds / PM Sounds

4) Is the QuickTime browser plugin installed?
QuickTime Plugin (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/)- Please note that you need to restart your browser after installing the plugin.

5) Does it work in other browsers?
If you only have one browser on your computer (Internet Explorer) you should try out Firefox (http://www.getfirefox.com).

6) Is the following text present in the source of the page: <embed or <audio ?
Right click -> View Source -> Ctrl+F -> <embed
Right click -> View Source -> Ctrl+F -> <audio
If this is not found, and all the above steps are completed, then you may have an out of date template. Please revert any customisations to dbtech_vbshout_shoutbox


If none of the above steps fix it for you, then it's a browser issue that we are unfortunately unable to assist with.

my shoutbox doesn't seem to work as supposed. no sounds, a lot of bugs and first of all it doesn't seem to be possible to edit shouts, delete etc. i used IE 9 for debugging and this is what i got.
This browser is AJAX compatible

Hello,

Is this product still supported? I think it is an amazing product, however I cannot seem to get it to work. I installed it, attached it. (Yes it is showing up on my forums!) But I cannot sent messages. As for the controlls in the admin cp, I cannot acces those. It redirects me to my error 404 page.

Reasons for this is most likely because my website is a Moto CMS HTML website with vBulletin forums, whilest this product is based on a vBulletin Site/Forum.

Please help!

[DragonByte Tech]

Please ensure you uploaded the contents of the "upload" folder to the folder where your vBulletin files are :)

Hi,

I did do that, see :

http://gyazo.com/b6131fe37df0cfeb5a90f9390a291b2d

It is up on vBulletin. Thing is, it is not working. And when I try to change anything on the vBulletin admin controll panel, this is what I see :

http://gyazo.com/1ecfafab96994f990103652fc5bd5901

You're looking at the custom Error 404 page of our main website. Where did it go wrong?

[excalibur27]

Hi all I installed the Lite version on my shoutbox vbulletin 4.2 when I open the page in firefox it appears on the Internet instead explore so there is a way to intervene and adjust all
thanks

[Keldaria]

I have an odd one here and was wondering if you have any idea's on what to check.

The issue is after being installed we can't get the admin panel to save changes to instances, or even create a new instance. We've tried un-installing then re-installing, no change, clear cache's, no change, disabled all mods except VBShout, no change, clear cache's again, re-installed again, no change. Finally we did a fresh VB install on our servers as a test site and installed there worked perfectly fine so we know its not a server related issue.

Soo atm I'm fairly stumped. Besides a few disabled mods and a custom style for the forums our VB install is pretty much a fresh install. So I have no idea what could be the difference between the fresh install and our live site. Does anyone have any idea's that I might need to take a look at?

You can check what php.ini file you are using in the View PHP Info page - observe for "Additional ini files parsed" and/or "Scan dirs for additional ini files" if you do not have access to the root file / are using a control panel like WHM that would overwrite the changes.

Excellent that worked great.. I guess the additional usergroups / settings is probably what made the difference between our fresh install experiment (or something like that)

At any rate this worked great thanks for the assist

[XGC Viper XI]

I have multiple questions as I am converting from vb3 to vb4.2.0 Patch Level 3

1) Does this work in vb4.2.0 Patch Level 3?

2) Is it possible to set it up where the chat box displays in a forum?

3) Does it display anywhere else, if so can it be disabled?

4) Is it possible to disable it for user use, at least based on usergroup? (want to control who has capability to use it)

5) Do you know anything about this mod https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=93097, if so with this mod https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=242071 work with it?

6) Will this go with the color scheme of our skins or do I have to manually change it?

Currently our shout box is setup in one forum and it is privileged based to get to it and that is what I want to setup. Looking at this for our current forum and another that we will be setting up in vb soon.

Thanks

Viper

[DragonByte Tech]

1) Indeed it does :)

2) You can manually deploy the Shoutbox - here's the canned response:

Step 1: AdminCP -> DBTech - vBShout-> Instance Management -> [Edit].

Step 2: Change the Auto-Display Shoutbox setting to Disabled.

Step 3: Write down the the Varname setting. For the default shoutbox, it's instance1. The rest of this guide will assume you replace instance1 with the actual Varname if it is different.

Step 4: Enter the Style Manager and add either {vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1} (vB4) or {$show[vbshout_instance1]} (vB3) to the templates you wish the shoutbox to appear in.


If you wrap the variable in <vb:if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == x"> (I think that's the correct variable name, check the rest of the FORUMDISPLAY template to make sure) then you can control it per-forum.

3) By default, under the navbar on forum home. It can be disabled :)

4) Indeed it is :)

5) The second link is used to import shouts from the first link :)

6) Some skins may not use the stylevars correctly and as such require colour changes to the tabs. There's a CSS template for this (dbtech_vbshout_colours.css).

[vinkenier]

Active Users Shout-bit: Shows the users active in the tab/instance you are, with the option to view everyone who can enter/exit the room at will (and thus see any shouts posted) in a pop-up to save resources. Perfect for seeing what's going on and who's around at a glance.
Where can I change this? I'm only seeing the users who are in effect active in the chat. Users who are only watching the chat don't show up in the list. I would also like to see them in the list.

A second question I have is what does the option "is auto idle' on/off ? What is the purpose of this setting? What should be used?

A second question I have is what does the option "is auto idle' on/off ?It controls what usergroups start their Shoutbox browsing session as "idle", meaning they don't see new shouts until they manually un-idle themselves.

This is useful for server resource conservation.

Fillip

So it's not possible to manually change adjust some parameter to get this done? Would be nice to have this in the next release do.

If I set the usergroup to idle= on then they will have to un-idle themselves to keep seeing the chat.
Wouldn't it then be possible to have them come in the chat as idle and they then have to un-idle themself to be able to see the chat. Because when they un-idle themself they pop up in the list of activ users?

[DragonByte Tech]

We are thinking of moving towards a session based system for tracking active users which would achieve what you wish, but it's no small undertaking :)

[K4GAP]

I understand the shout box picks up some of it's colors from the themes css settings but, I'm having a helluva time finding the proper setting to change the shout box to match the theme I have it on.

Visible at this link (http://www.livinginkentucky.com/forums/forum.php?styleid=23) you can see the light grey area around the shoutbox that does not match the theme.

How or where do I make a change to select the color I want that grey to be?

Thank's, GREAT add-on!

[DragonByte Tech]

You can edit most of the colours of the Shoutbox by editing the dbtech_vbshout_colours.css CSS Template.

Other than that, I recommend using Google Chrome's F12 developer tool to select the part of the page that you want to alter - it will tell you in the sidebar to the right what CSS rules are applied.

Any idea what can cause this and how to fix it? Like I said its only happening for a very small percentage of my users.

Dragonbyte i successfully installed the shoutbox,

but 1 problem, when i click on archive i see no way of deleting/editing shouts??

i've looked in the admin CP and all the permissions seem to be set right,
i'm baffled?
because on my 3.7.3 version if i clicked on archive Edit/Delete would be right next to the shout, but now its not, am i just overlooking something?

also when i click on the smiley box and it pops up the smilies wont go into the shoutbox when you click on them, the box just closes.

this is really irritating the crap out of me, I CANNOT FIND OUT HOW TO EDIT/DELETE SHOUTS! grrrrrr
frustrating.

I have a question. on my forum we have a script shown here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=237329 that allows all external links to go to anonym.to now this works great all but in the shout. Is there a way to have any external links in the shout to be also affected. I have placed the addon above in the footer but does not affect shout posts.

[DragonByte Tech]

Unfortunately that won't be able to work in the Shoutbox because it doesn't work for URLs inserted into the page via JS.

You will encounter the same issue if you quick reply to a thread and insert a link - that link won't be anonymised until you refresh the page.

[Makaveli007]

@Dragonbyte_Tech

I am trying to move the 6 files that load with the shoutbox (3 CSS and 3 JS) above the vbulletin-core.js file that is located in the headinclude template.

The reason is that google and other page speed score sites state that having the vbulletin-core.js file above the CSS files from the shoutbox is not optimal.

Can you explain how this can be done? It looks like the CSS/JS files for the shoutbox are inserted into the headinclude template via the process_templates_complete.php, is this correct?

Thanks in advance

[DragonByte Tech]

That's correct. You can attempt to change it to $footer = $templater->render() . $footer; but moving it is not supported and may cause other issues.

You appear to have PHP 5.3.9 or higher installed on your server and configured to be too restrictive for vBulletin and vBShout to work correctly.

Please note that if you have a large number of usergroups, certain parts of this page may not work as intended.

If you encounter this issue, you may be able to work around this by adding the following code to your .htaccess file:

php_value max_input_vars 10000

or altering your php.ini file to increase max_input_vars to 10000.

Tried altering our php.ini didn't work

Any idea which file MGC is breaking, as we uninstalled MGC... if you can tell me the file clashing I can fix hopefully :P

[DragonByte Tech]

1. We can't assist with the MGC issue unfortunately :(

2. You also need to restart Apache for the changes to take effect.

[silvermerc]

Well its not directly MGC, its more or less us trying to use your product which we are being restricted to use by something to do with PHP version, We are now getting this error;
You appear to have Suhosin installed on your server and configured to be too restrictive for vBulletin and vBShout to work correctly.

Please note that if you have a large number of usergroups, certain parts of this page may not work as intended.

php_value suhosin.post.max_vars 2048

These are the values vBulletin Support Staff suggest.

Don't really understand why you won't help us :s

[DragonByte Tech]

Sorry, I'm confused. You posted a DB error generated by the fact that MGC chatbox didn't uninstall correctly, and then separately posted an issue in vBShout.

I helped you solve the issue in vBShout, and told you that we couldn't assist with the MGC issue.

How does that translate into not wanting to help you? O.o

As for this new message, does it work if you modify your htaccess file with that information? If not, edit php.ini and change these values:
suhosin.cookie.encrypt Off
suhosin.request.max_vars 2048
suhosin.get.max_vars 2048
suhosin.post.max_vars 2048
Or turn off Suhosin entirely.

I wished you would of had a look yourself e.g I give you cPanel and you sort of diagnose yourself, As im fairly unfamiliar with this

[DragonByte Tech]

Ah, unfortunately going to people's WHM/cPanel installation has a chance of causing irreparable damage to someone's site - or at least large amounts of downtime.

It's not something we want to be liable for, I'm sure you can understand.

We will visit people's forums' AdminCP to diagnose issues if we can't solve it via the forum, or it's taking too long to solve it, but we do not go any "deeper" than that.

under ACP>DBTech vbshout>instance management then click on "edit" in right column and then you'll be able to edit the delay time along with other settings.

is the "Show on all pages" in the paid version?.......change text size or sb window?
I think I answered my own question's when editing ""instance management" menu. But still trying to get it to display on every page as instructed on this edit menu. under "Display Settings" Do I have to 'Disable' and then add:
{vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1}
to the navbar template @ beginning or end?
Haven't been able to display on all except forumhome.....

[DragonByte Tech]

under "Display Settings" Do I have to 'Disable' and then add:
{vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1}
to the navbar template @ beginning or end?That is correct :)

For the record, here's the canned response regarding display:



To put vBShout in a custom location, do the following:


Step 1: AdminCP -> DBTech - vBShout-> Instance Management -> [Edit].

Step 2: Change the Auto-Display Shoutbox setting to Disabled.

Step 3: Write down the the Varname setting. For the default shoutbox, it's instance1. The rest of this guide will assume you replace instance1 with the actual Varname if it is different.

Step 4: Enter the Style Manager and add either {vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1} (vB4) or {$show[vbshout_instance1]} (vB3) to the templates you wish the shoutbox to appear in.


Follow these steps as described and you will have total control over the position of the Shoutbox.
Please note that some locations may not work as intended on vBulletin 3.8, and also note that it is not designed to go in the Forum Blocks side-bar (vBulletin 4).

It still prevents them from shouting? Why..

How can this be fixed?

could be permissions or a mod has banned them from the chat box. Check there profile to see if they are banned from it

[courtfrenzy]

The user profile permissions do not have any option to edit the shout settings. In the adminCP options I also don't see how it can distinguish the setting between user and/or usergroups.

Any additional information would be helpful, thank you.

Thanks Fillip!

[Vitaris]

Love this mod. Recently installed it in place of an older mod, and the chatbox is really the backbone of my forums. Good work! We're looking at upgrading to pro here shortly, but I have a question.

Myself and my members have been noticing the popping sound is occurring rather randomly. (It just went off twice while typing this.) Nothing is happening in the box; no notifications, PMs, invites, or shouts. Lots of members leave it running in the background while doing other things, but they often come back to check and find nothing has changed. I've tested it in both Chrome and Firefox.

Installation went as expected, no errors popped up. Went through the sound checklist here on the forums. Sound was selected, turned on, Quicktime installed, <audio is in the page source.

Any idea what could be causing it? It's not a major issue, but would like to work out why it's popping so often. :D

What's not good? You can get a license from their website and then have the ability to move it, with alot more options than that too.

The shoutbox has some sort of rendering/update problem when I use size BB code

It's fine with color/bold/italic bb codes but when I use size bb code it kind of freezes up for a second and the entire shoutbox goes blank, it ends up posting the size bb code just fine afterwards, but it just kind of annoys me that it even does that in the first place

Installed on vbulletin 5 but the smileys are not working. I saw that the line is commented inside the template. Do you have a fix for it?

Thanks

[DragonByte Tech]

The Smilies functionality is not supported on vB5 at this time.

Also, we have a dedicated thread for the vB5 version here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=288915

Please use that thread to discuss the vB5 version to avoid confusion. Thanks :)

I just upgraded my forums to 4.2.2. The shoutbox was working right before the installation. However, after, the box is clear, and active users are displayed in plain text such as: Vitaris]]>

When I enter a shout and press Enter, it clears in the text box, but doesn't refresh. The archive is still intact, though.

Any help? Thank you!

My shoutbox is also not working after upgrading to 4.2.2.. please DragonByte Tech (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=373913) fix this problem soon........

[DragonByte Tech]

We are currently experiencing a high volume of support tickets due to a number of issues arising from the vBulletin 4.2.2 update.

Until we announce official support for vBulletin 4.2.2, please remain on 4.2.1 or lower.

Thank you for your patience, and we apologise for the inconvenience.

[rinkrat]

Too late to go back! I'll wait. Thanks for working on this. :)

[DragonByte Tech]

A hotfix for the latest version is now available here: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/demo/2-vbshout

Please do be aware that this does not constitute official support, as we have not yet been able to perform extensive testing to ensure compatibility.

Looks like it is still broken ^^

Thank you for the fast response, and I apologise to adding to the ticket volume. I hurried to upgrade after being burned last week by a hacker due to unpatched exploits. ;) Didn't want to leave upgrading too long!

Anyway, I get this:

When I visit your site, and the download is stuck on "Generating download, please wait..." I'll check back later, no biggie. Thanks again!

[DragonByte Tech]

Try again now :)

For the record, Contact Us and vBSupport are bespoke mods that were made exclusively for DBTech :)


Fillip

Yeah I'm getting the "Generating Download" with no further action.

[rinkrat]

OK, download works now,

[rinkrat]

Is there a Pro version hotfix yet?

[rinkrat]

Looks like Pro versions are stuck at "Generating Download"

[rinkrat]

hotfixed applied. Shoutbox works! Great work!

[DragonByte Tech]

Update

Hotfix: PHP 5.4 Compatibility fixes


This does not guarantee the mod is error free on PHP 5.4, but it will take care of the reported errors. Thank you all for your reports :)

I did and that took care of it but, then entered text would not show up in the message area. So I just went through and deleted anything related to VBShout off my server. I'll settle for that until I see what happens with everyone else.

Thanks for being right on top of things Ozzy. :up:

Any help would be appreciated.

I recently switched themes and suddenly lost the shout box, it is installed and was showing on my last theme - I had the same theme on another forum and the shout was fine. I uninstalled and re installed everything and still no go, it just seems a code or something isnt placing where it should or something?

If your new theme lacks the display hooks, that could be why. Contact your skin developer and ensure they have included all template hooks and ad locations.

I am not sure whether VB Shout Lite has been updated for vB 4.2.2
If we look on this page:

http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/store/

it suggests that VB Shout is a mod that has NOT been updated and therefore is NOT compatible with 4.2.2.

[Pocket Aces]

Too heavy database table alterations when installing, even if the board is offline we're having a hard time installing this in our board with 16 million posts and 1 million users.

I guess this mod is meant for small boards only.

How to hide the active users tab if active block is selected?

[DragonByte Tech]

Hello,

I tried searching through tons of pages looking for it i may have over seen it also. I was trying to find how to make the chat show on all pages.To put vBShout in a custom location, do the following:


Step 1: AdminCP -> DBTech - vBShout-> Instance Management -> [Edit].

Step 2: Change the Auto-Display Shoutbox setting to Disabled.

Step 3: Write down the the Varname setting. For the default shoutbox, it's instance1. The rest of this guide will assume you replace instance1 with the actual Varname if it is different.

Step 4: Enter the Style Manager and add either {vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1} (vB4) or {$show[vbshout_instance1]} (vB3) to the templates you wish the shoutbox to appear in.

Add it to the navbar template to make it appear on all pages.

I am not sure whether VB Shout Lite has been updated for vB 4.2.2
If we look on this page:

http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/store/

it suggests that VB Shout is a mod that has NOT been updated and therefore is NOT compatible with 4.2.2.That is 100% incorrect, and there's nothing on that page that the mod has not been updated. It has been updated both @ DBTech and here on vB.org :)

Too heavy database table alterations when installing, even if the board is offline we're having a hard time installing this in our board with 16 million posts and 1 million users.

I guess this mod is meant for small boards only.You'll have a hard time installing any mod that modifies the user, thread or post tables with such a mod - doesn't mean they're only aimed at smaller boards :)

There's also no way of avoiding database alters if there are databases which need new storage space ;)

How to hide the active users tab if active block is selected?That cannot be done, sorry :(

@ Both of you: Please try disabling all other products and then test the Shoutbox. It is possible other modifications are causing the issues if they have not been updated.

Yup, I'm mainly having trouble finding the document that you change the numbers.. like the 177 something number lol.

Also, when adding the files to the "forum directory" do I just add it to the directory or does it go in a specific folder? ie: when installing themes you add it to the images folder, not the entire directory.


Thanks in advance! I appreciate you reaching out to help :)

Quick question... I installed the lite version on my forum but it looks kinda goofy on a mobile device as the chat box on the left hand side pushes the main window over. Not very user friendly. If I purchase the pro version and move the chat box underneath will it look better on a mobile?

Having the text area below the box does improve it, I've used it successfully on an iPhone 5S :)
