This is working as intended. This is a limitation of the Lite version, when you change your colour in the Lite version, all shouts will appear in the same colour. Only you will see this change.


Fillip

[M.Iftikhar]

In Version 6.2.13 lite no limitation......why you set this limitation in version 6.2.15pl1?????

[Alan_SP]

Older versions could enable each user's messages to appear in the way that user choose. So shoutbox could be very colorful, depending on options users choose. As the second image clearly shows.

And that maybe was bug, but it looked much better than in version where all shouts look the same.

[civicf]

Is possible to download older version vbshout ?

[DragonByte Tech]

Is possible to download older version vbshout ?Currently we do not have an archive of the Lite versions available on our new site.


Fillip

[DrkWizard]

Just updated to lite versión 6.2.16 and smilies stop working (clicking a smilie in the smilies list does nothing).

[DragonByte Tech]

Changed Features:

A fresh copy of the jQuery library is now only downloaded if one has not been downloaded previously. Requires updating of all other affected DBTech mods to take full effect.

I did have the bold italic and underline options hidden since they cant be seen on my style anyways, but is there a way to fix that?

I did have the bold italic and underline options hidden since they cant be seen on my style anyways, but is there a way to fix that?You'll need to play around with the CSS in the dbtech_vbshout_editor.css CSS Template - I can't give you the exact things you need to change since I don't have a dark style locally, but hopefully you or your skin developer can resolve this using this information :)


Fillip

[twistedsoul]

didn't quite find it, however for anyone else that runs into clashing buttons, copy editor buttons from your style folder /editor to the dbtech/vbshout/editor folder(assuming your style buttons don't clash) however I did notice when I click bold after highlighting my shout before posting it, it bolds all shouts in box...same goes for italics and underline
buttons from seamus style work good for it:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2016/05/1.png

[DragonByte Tech]

Ooh, I hadn't thought of that, good call. The reason why I don't refer to style buttons directly is that in some version of vB4 they had flat out deleted those buttons from the product, so there wouldn't be a stylevar for them any more.

I'll remember this for the next person who has the same issue, thanks! :D


Fillip

[twistedsoul]

haha yes, made it easy once I realized my style buttons would work for it. =) ty!

Hello,

I'm trying to install this mod on vB 4.2.2 using the standard method listed. I used to use vba_CMPS but have uninstalled it.

I managed to import the .xml and DBTech - vBShout shows up in my adminCP where I can edit all the options.

When I add the "Widget" through the Layout Manager, it shows up on my page, but will not actually "function". I can type in the field box, but when I hit submit or "enter" nothing happens.

Additionally, in my console output I get the following:

connection-min.js?v=422:7 POST [url]http:///gcbos.php 500 (Internal Server Error)
asyncRequest @ connection-min.js?v=422:7
checkMessages @ gcbos.js:1
(anonymous function) @ gcbos.js:1

If I remove that widget, the error stops (obviously).

Any ideas?

[DragonByte Tech]

When I add the "Widget" through the Layout Manager, it shows up on my page, but will not actually "function". I can type in the field box, but when I hit submit or "enter" nothing happens.Sorry, I'm a bit confused, there is no widget support in this mod.

It's not designed to run within vBulletin CMS' Widget system, that's not supported at this time.

Sorry :(


Fillip

[DonnieJ]

Ah, that explains it :)

We do indeed get it to show up on the Forums view at the top of the page. Is there a setting we're not seeing in order to make it a sidebar view?

We'd love to have it hanging out on the right side of the page.

Thanks a ton for all your work and support!

I think there is a bug, I have 2 members that their shout doesnt appear to unregistrered users..
Only the post of those 2 doesnt show when you are not logged in on the forum..
Any idea?

[DragonByte Tech]

There are no permission checks on users shouts that would prevent them from showing to guests.

Can you tell me what common factors exist between these two members?

FIRST USER:
- Super Mod
- No additional Usergroup

SECOND USER:
- Super Mod
- With 1 additional usergroup

I also tried changing their usergroup to admin and other usergroup that has working shout and still no good.. The shout of that 2 user doesnt show to guest. But others are showing.. Need admin login to check?

[kylin413]

How can i re-locate the chatbox?

It does :)

Thank you Fillip! I found it! :)

It is under the options of the instance at the instance management. You need to configure the appropriate usergroups.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=323467The shoutbox might respect the vBulletin ignore list, to be honest it's been so many years since I wrote that code I can't quite remember.

Can you create two test users and put each of them on their ignore lists and see if you can replicate the issue?

ThanksI would recommend asking the developer of whoever made the markup script for assistance first and foremost. It's probably a jQuery conflict due to the markup script using an old version of jQuery.

For the record, posting support tickets @ our site has a much better response time than here @ vBulletin.org :)

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


That cannot be done, sorry :(

I just downloaded the chat and I love, but there just one thing. I search the thread for a way to remove the active user tab, but it was said that it can't be done (quoted above back in 2013). I'm assuming that it still can't be done, but is there any way to move it? So that it comes before the shoutbox tab or after other custom chat rooms?

X is user 10,000
Y is user 10,000
Z is user 10,000

*edit : just a guess, but might be due to multiple users registering while previous users have not yet confirmed their email

*edit : just a guess, but might be due to multiple users registering while previous users have not yet confirmed their emailThat is exactly it, yeah. At the moment, it excludes users from user groups 3 and 4 when counting members. So if you delete old, inactive members and/or move them into one of those groups regularly, then this will throw off vBShout's counter.

Fillip

The most reliable way of replicating the issue is to refresh the screen yourself on my website and you'll see the shoutbox says "loading" 3-5 times out of 10!

Let me know if you would like the login details:)

[DragonByte Tech]

Sorry, when I said reliable way of replicating the issue, I meant 100% of the time.

I'm assuming your techs have already inspected PHP's error log, as well as Apache's error log, and verified there are no entries from their IP addresses related to vBShout?

Why is that ?

So, after so many did it before me, I will be one more asking the same thing like the others before. ;)

And I use the Lite version. Even in the features of the Lite Version, it says that I can at least edit my shouts, yet i find no such thing. What am I missing ?

Guys I am having trouble with both DBTECH VBshout and the thanks mod since I upgraded to 4.2.5. Everything worked fine up until then. Now they both seem to have the same problem ...nothing happens when you click shout or thanks. I uninstalled, reinstalled, tried everything. I should also mention that since VB 4.2.5 requires php 5.6 I also upgraded my PHP version.

I disabled all of my plugins, still no go.

Hello, I do not have any options displayed in the acp, how can I fix this?

[JasV]

I have the same problem as the arrogant one.
Is anyone able to help out with this?

Does this have to do with this and what should a correct .htaccess file look like?
When I add the
php_value max_input_vars 10000 it throws a internal 500 error.

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.
