Hey, it works on 4.1.3 vbulleyin? I do not go

[tdkmatt]

Can the shout box be moved to a separate page or in a different position on the page? www.fatalitynetworking.com/forum

[mrscot]

I installed the latest lite version of shoutbox last week. It was located under the navbar in all the forums pages (which is what I wanted). Now it only shows up in the forums main page. I've been testing different things in vBulletin 4.1.3 and I think I messed something up.
How do I get the shoutbox to appear in all the forum pages (under the navbar)?
Thanks

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).

I downloaded the lite version and had trouble installing it (because I'm just not good at this) and asked for some help here on the thread. Almost immediately Fillip was onto it and emailed me and was a tremendous help. The lite version is great and after seeing what it could do I upgraded to the Pro version and AGAIN stuffed up the installation. Not to worry, Fillip was there again to help me. He was fabulous and helped me way more than I expected. I wish my web host was so helpful and quick.

Thanks so much for an excellent product and fabulous customer service.

My members are very happy with the shoutbox.

[DragonByte Tech]

A link in the context menu.

[Peter Cook]

This is one lovely mod, one thing baffles me is that you have not added as yet a text size selector next to the font which would make things for members who have slightly bad eyesight as most members don't intially know BBCodes anyway. I feel that this mod would greatly benefit from it's inclusion. I would also like to ask if there is a log pruning or deletion tool going to be added in the future and also in the lite version have context menus been removed as I don't seem to have any!

Well done guys keep up the good work!

I feel that this mod would greatly benefit from it's inclusion.It exists in the Pro version :)

I would also like to ask if there is a log pruning or deletion tool going to be added in the futureThat leaves too much room for abuse so currently we have no plans to add a pruning tool for logs.

and also in the lite version have context menus been removed as I don't seem to have any!They were disabled by default for performance reasons, you can re-enable them via the Instance Management options :)

Fillip

Thanks for replying so fast Fillip!! I tried re-enabling them here: Enable Context Menu
This will allow you to globally disable the advanecd context menu when clicking on a member's name in the Shoutbox.
Enabling the context menu adds a large amount of data to each AJAX request, but enables quick access to member and moderator actions. but nothing happens :eek: except clicking on the name redirects me to the members profile!

As for the Log question a deletion tool for large logs or the like would be handy for admin, but I understand your reasons for not adding it also. I'll see how the lite version goes then I maybe forced into buying the pro version later on lol

Once again thanks

Note: I have sorted the context menu problem out now!! Thanks :) I am a fool for not enabling it in the Instance Permissions lol

[DragonByte Tech]

You may need to reload the page to see it take effect.

Also, ensure that each usergroup has the "Context Menu" setting enabled further down on the page. That setting was added so that Admins could still use context menus whereas users / guests could not :)


Fillip

[Alan_SP]

That leaves too much room for abuse so currently we have no plans to add a pruning tool for logs.

What about auto pruning logs? For example I would like to set that chat logs "last" 24 hours. Users usually don't need to see what was before. Of course, time could be set by administrators.

[DragonByte Tech]

You're talking about archive pruning, not log pruning :)

That is already a feature in the Pro version :)

Using vb4.13 and the lite version. Everything works great except....

When sending shoutbox pm, for the original sender, username1 it shows:
[Today 03:15 PM] [PM to ] username1 : Hello there

For recipient, "username2", it also shows:
[Today 03:15 PM] [PM to ] username1 : Hello there

So the "to" is incorrect for original sender, and for the recipient, it still says "to" the original sender. It never changes.

Any thoughts?
Thank you!

[dirk2103]

Hello, sorry for my bad english.
everything is translated with google.

The shoutbox works fine, but I miss the sound they make is when something new is written. the ton "Pop.mp3" I do not hear any other and not.
QuickTime plugin I have in the browser inside and still nothing works.
, what is the problem.?

[DragonByte Tech]

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 ?
Right click -> View Source -> Ctrl+F -> <embed
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.

Point 1,4 and 5 are ok

Try editing dbtech_vbshout_shoutbox and removing this:

AND $bbuserinfo['dbtech_vbshout_settings'] & 65536


Fillip

[Reedly]

Yes, thank you!!! - the PM issue is fixed.

One question - on one of the older shoutboxes, when you entered the first few letters of a member's username, the whole name would show up, is that a feature on this version that I'm missing?

Thank you. Great job with everything!!

[DragonByte Tech]

That has never been a feature of vBShout, sorry :(

[JohnGR]

It's got several configuration options that can help reduce resource usage.


Fillip

the installation that come by default it's modifed for low usage ?
i mean what normal server option it need to can run your chatbox in normal way
i mean what RAM & Bandwitch it need ?
does it also have the option to refresh only when new message is posted ? not like normal chat which refresh each x second regardless new message which flood the server.

Thx

[DragonByte Tech]

It requires exactly 14.1 MB RAM and not a single byte more. :rolleyes:

In seriousness though, it's not possible for me to tell you exactly the amount of resources it uses.

The default is set up for resource conservation and it does indeed have that feature.


Fillip

[dirk2103]

Hello
the shout works perfectly except for one problem what I noticed.
namely:
I have every 60 sec. the sound as if someone writes something, but it is not a user Akiv there.
every 60 sec. comes "Pop.mp3"
My question: can we stop this somehow.

Greetings
dirk

[DragonByte Tech]

That's the shout sound. Turning that off is the only way to stop it for now.

Fillip

[dirk2103]

I installed the Mod its great and runs fine. But I have a few questions?

Is there a way to make the shoutbox, only refresh when a new message is posted? I wanted people to be able to post videos or sounds, but is not good that it reloads whenever the shoutbox refreshes. If you are reading older posts it bumps your window to the newest whenever it refreshes.

Also I made a custom box under the Navbar. I turned off the "Display after navbar" option. I manually added the template at the instance and the code "{vb:raw vbshout}" at "FORUMHOME" after the custom box code. The shoutbox displays fine, but it appears after the navbar over the custom box. I played around with it and always appears after the navbar. Any idea what might be the problem?

[DragonByte Tech]

Version 5.3.2 is not supported, sorry. Please upgrade to the latest version.

Ok. Where in the database is the instance on / off switch so I can write my own SQL in a scheduled task

[DragonByte Tech]

It is not possible to control it with an SQL statement because of the fact that instances are cached with a method that is not available to MySQL.

To add to desired template (example FORUMHOME):
1. Add 'index' to THIS_SCRIPT locations (Product options)
2. Add 'FORUMHOME' to template names (Product options)
3. Open 'FORUMHOME' template and put "{vb:raw vsachatbox}" to desired line (for example after '<!-- /main -->') -> Save

Is there a way like in older versions of vBShout to make each member have their own specific colour?

Currently, my vBShout only displays shouts in the colour that you select at the bottom - is there a way to change it to that it displays a different colour text depending on the user that shouted it's colour setting?

I can't find a way to simply explain it! haha

Eg. I have it set to red - i want my users to see my shout in red, instead it displays all the shouts that i am viewing red.

I can't find a way to simply explain it! haha

Eg. I have it set to red - i want my users to see my shout in red, instead it displays all the shouts that i am viewing red.

thx

That option is a Pro version option only!

That option is a Pro version option only!

I remember when it used to be free! :(

[DragonByte Tech]

That has never been an option in the free version :)

[Alan_SP]

That has never been an option in the free version :)

Actually I still use: DragonByte Tech: vBShout (Lite) 5.3.2 ( c&p from my admincp) and I have my users' shouts in different colors they choose. Didn't know this was changed to pro version only, but it certainly was free (at least only in 5.3.2). Maybe by mistake, I don't know, but it is there.

Currently, the free version overrides all the others users colours to match the one you want.

I want to be able to let each user have their own colour displayed.

Go to the DBTech - vBShout drop down> instance management> edit> scroll to instance permissions.

Hope that helps ;)

Many thanks for your help. But unfortunately.....

I don't get DBTech Option anywhere :( Does it suppose to come on left hand side under Admin Control Panel ??

If yes then nothing I can see like DBTech or vBShout etc

Are you sure that usergroup has the permissions set in ACP/DBTech - vBShout/Instance Management?

[Alan_SP]

Yes, but the option of overriding others' shout colour to match your own is and has always been a Pro-option, which is what you asked isn't it? :)


Fillip

It was AndrewH93's question and I didn't understand it as overriding others' colors with my settings, but that every user has it's own shouts in different color. This works in my version.

You can take a look at AndrewH93 question again:

Is there a way like in older versions of vBShout to make each member have their own specific colour?

Currently, my vBShout only displays shouts in the colour that you select at the bottom - is there a way to change it to that it displays a different colour text depending on the user that shouted it's colour setting?

Are you sure you loaded all the files to the correct folders?

Are you upgrading from a older version of shout?

Did you CHMOD the /dbtech/vbshout/aop folder to 0777?

[jooohn1]

Yes I did. And I have installed it first time. Will try to remove and install it again. Hope that works

Note :

It is working now. I deleted vbshout.php file and uploaded again. Now its working fine

Where is the .css file of this product located, or how can I customize the layout of this product?

[krip]

Worked well up to and including 4.1.3, but unfortunately breaks in 4.1.4b1.

The box initial is stuck on "Loading..." until you enter some text and the rest appears. Also the layout is slightly broken as seen in the screenshot...

[crisl]

upgrade to newest vbshout version, solved the issue for me.

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).


Fillip

[AndrewH93]

Why am I unable to find the place in Forum Manager to set the new threads/replies to show as messages in the shoutbox?

That wording is defunct and has been removed from the latest version, the "Notifications" menu under the vBShout group is all you need.

Is 5.4.4 available in Pro version as yet? I just looked on the website and it says the latest is 5.3.2 which is broken on vB 4.1.4. Thanks.

[DragonByte Tech]

Yeah it is, the version info in the description is outdated. All Lite versions have a corresponding Pro versions :)


Fillip

[krip]

Sorry, I meant to put 5.4.4 PL2 Pro, rather than just 5.4.4. I ask as another admin I know bought and installed 5.4.4 Pro but it was broken on vB 4.1.4 and looked like my screen shot above with the icons going down vertically. I presume there is a PL2 Pro?

Sometimes jumping on the latest vB releases isn't a good thing, but the CKEditor is a welcome addition!

[DragonByte Tech]

Yeah, even PL2 :)


Fillip

[krip]

Great thanks, time to pay your site a visit :D

[leftanalog]

I cannot hear the sound notification when someone shouts.
I have received confirmation that others can hear it.

I have tried Un-installing and Re-installing Quicktime and clearing my browser cache. Obviously my speakers are turned up :P.

My browser is currently: Firefox 4.0.1 and my Forum Software is VB 4.1.3.

Thanks for the help.

[Pionex]

Great product !
Works great, no problems on 4.1.3.
If my members fall in love with this mod I will upgrade to pro for sure.

Thank you.

p.s. sound notification does not work for me either, but I really don't need it :)

[DragonByte Tech]

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 ?
Right click -> View Source -> Ctrl+F -> <embed
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
Alternatively, try removing AND $bbuserinfo['dbtech_vbshout_settings'] & 16384, AND $bbuserinfo['dbtech_vbshout_settings'] & 32768 and AND $bbuserinfo['dbtech_vbshout_settings'] & 65536 from that same template.


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

please respond! how can i change the background color of the shoutbox! I really need to change it to white

hello i tried to install the newest version off this and . the shoutbox comeup all messed up cant shout in it to . how can i fix that ?

If you run any cache systems like vB Optimise or vBSEO please try flushing those, and ensure you don't have any customised vBShout templates.

[DragonByte Tech]

We're unable to offer support for custom skins I'm afraid - we code all our modifications to work with the vBulletin default skin system.
If we offered support for custom skins, we wouldn't have time for anything else :p

You should contact your skin maker and ask why they didn't follow vBulletin theming conventions, and ask them for advice :)


Fillip

Well, i managed to make mine work in custom template but, i had to upload the template with parent to the default one! Still, these updates are a massif head hack for us with custom work :(

recently downloaded this.
question is, how do you do this:

CHMOD the /dbtech/vbshout/aop folder to 0777

where can this be found? i'm new to vb4.1.3

[fxwoody]

@bikoy, go in FTP, find the folder in question by following the order and right click on AOP folder, look for permission in the contextual menu and change from there ;)

Now , this is a freaking nightmare not to be able to get some answers from you Fillip regarding some bugs that we......i think everyone in here as a custom skin....can't pin point because of that!
On my forum the shoutbox is all there and well installed but the darned thing doesn't LOAD nor shows the xtra tabs on every 6 skins that i have but when i go into the default/original, it works OK
In your designer/coder mind you must have an idea of where to look first at least to put me in the right path on where to look for the problem....NO???

I have 3 choice, either i find the trouble or i buy the pro version and you won't have the choice to look for the problem for me or i simply uninstall and get another one!
Hummm, what should i do? No offense Fillip but i used the 5.2.3 lite edition for long time with out having any trouble and now that i "Update" to your latest ....not working!!! Totally like the new vB 4.1.4 that i reverted to 4.1.2 lv1 since it didn't work properly with lots of plugins :(

My advise, do not install plugins anymore lollll:D

I really hate updates!:mad:

[DragonByte Tech]

@bikoy, go in FTP, find the folder in question by following the order and right click on AOP folder, look for permission in the contextual menu and change from there ;)That's correct :)

or i buy the pro version and you won't have the choice to look for the problem for meSorry, the Pro version doesn't entitle you to support for custom skins :(
The money you pay for the Pro version is for the time spent developing the product, not support. Support is not a guarantee, we just give it to the best of our abilities because it's the right thing to do. Support only covers actual bugs in the application itself, and questions for how a certain part of it works. We cannot configure it for you, and we cannot support custom skins :(

Please understand that when we're dealing with custom skins, there's literally millions of possible configurations out there, and if we took the time to support them all, we would have no time to update the product (thus you would no longer get new features or bug fixes).

It's a policy we have not out of spite, but out of necessity :(

i guess, that i have solution for this problem
when u click on "View banned users" u enter to /admincp/vbshout.php?do=viewbanned , and now try replace "viewbanned" to "banned". it should display correct page.
similarly is with notifications in acp - replace "permissions" to "notifications"

I see a command list (sticky, edit sticky, ban, unban. Prune) there is no way for me to delete or edit a post (as admin I have edit on in the instance). I'm not able to click on the post or double click. In the end the only thing that worked is /prune but that deleted ALL the shouts (Is there a way to prune certain things). But how do I edit or delete a post?

I run on vb suite 4.1.3

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
Alternatively, try removing AND $bbuserinfo['dbtech_vbshout_settings'] & 16384, AND $bbuserinfo['dbtech_vbshout_settings'] & 32768 and AND $bbuserinfo['dbtech_vbshout_settings'] & 65536 from that same template.

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

Removing the code above got sounds working for me (3.8.7 pl 1), but the sounds don't stop in Chrome and Firefox on any of my Win 7 computers - with no new actions the sound periodically repeats itself, and on every refresh the notification sounds again. The reason I'm trying your product is for the alert sounds so that I can respond quickly when my students ask a question in shout. The needlessly repeated alerts sort of make the point moot.

In addition, the shout font size seems to change at random on my installation, usually after I make permission changes in the shoutbox control panel, and that's in all browsers on Ubuntu, Mac, and Win 7 and whether using a vanilla style or a few custom styles.

Yes, enabling shout sounds will cause a pop every 60 seconds, this unfortunately cannot be helped currently.

Thanks for your prompt reply, Filip!

[teach1st]

PS - The shout font size changes happen when I switch alternating background on and off.

Please ensure you've uploaded all files and that you're trying to install the latest version.

Fillip

yes I did Sir Fillip, but will try it all over again.

removed as it does not have the option to edit members text or delete what they say

Yes it does. I do it all the time. You must ensure you have all the Instance permissions set up properly.

[DragonByte Tech]

PS - The shout font size changes happen when I switch alternating background on and off.That would be due to your CSS I think, though I couldn't tell you exactly why, sorry :(

This is weird... I installed it and followed setup instructions, and it doesn't seem to be showing up anywhere.

Is there extra install instructions that I'm missing?

[DragonByte Tech]

Did you set up usergroup permissions via the Instance Management?

Fillip

[ForceHSS]

this is what i have i know there is some things missing as i cant edit members chat at all

[CharlieDelta]

this is what i have i know there is some things missing as i cant edit members chat at all

Double click on the members shout and then edit as needed, hit enter.:)

[ForceHSS]

double clicking does let me delete but that is the only option i have enter key does nothing for me

Permissions were set by default. The problem was I was looking at my vBadvanced page and the rest of the pages were fine. I fixed this be deploying it under the navbar rather than "automatically deploying".

However, I did have another issue with alignment/placement.

It seems that the boxes were drawn a little off center in this...

And then when I add the Active Users block...
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/06/26.jpg

any idea why its dropping down to the next line?

[jgruberman]

Did you have the cursor in the edit box BEFORE hitting enter? I had the same problem, but had to have the cursor in the edit bxo before it registered that I was hitting enter.

[ForceHSS]

once i double click it the text goes into the text box and a delete botton comes up or i can change the text in the box and then hit enter so is that is all i can do with this free version?

[jgruberman]

so is that is all i can do with this free version?

yes

[ForceHSS]

any way to fix this
and if i go to that link it shows what is in the 2nd picture

then if it is or cant be fixed why pay for the pro version as I was going to get it now as this seems to be a bug put me off

[DragonByte Tech]

It's not a bug, it's a missing feature :)

This is an issue isolated to Internet Explorer seemingly... so this may be something with compatibility and/or CSS?

You may have the IE7 Compatibility Header setting turned on for your forum. Please disable it and try again.

That's actually exactly what it was... good call!

However.... it still shows this way in IE7. Any reason? Frankly, I'm fine with it looking normal in IE8 and IE9, but just wanted to know if IE7 is too old for anyone to care? (Its too old for me to care :) )

Make sure that your files are all uploaded to the right location, then reinstall the XML file, overwriting the existing one and see if that helps?

will it ever be fixed in further versions

[DragonByte Tech]

Yeah, though it's very low priority due to it not being a hugely useful feature :)


Fillip

[ForceHSS]

noticed a small bug. I login as normal type something in the box then it says active users 1. Log out come back hours later and it still says to guests that I am still active. It needs to remove the user from the active list once they log out
next bug Enable Active Users Block turning this on it gives you the option to report shout inside the block this bring back a error "Invalid Shout ID Specified" this needs removed from there as it cant be used

same for the active tab at the top beside shoutbox

[DragonByte Tech]

If you use a guest caching mod like vB Optimise then that would be why.

I'll look into the active users block.

Fillip

[ForceHSS]

on the full version I see on your site you have the text box where you type at the bottom can we change that to where we want in the pro version

Hello

I use the shoutbox and am far too happy.
I miss things only 2.
1) a button for "url" bbcode
2) a button for "img" bbcode

can I install this without problems or will there be an update since.?
The buttons should pose no problem installing yes.
I just need to know what goes where.

I've noticed is still
The sound will function properly in google chrome.

That is a bug in Google Chrome, we sadly cannot fix it until the rest of the internet upgrades to a HTML5 capable browser.

Hi Dev,

what do you think about reducing the javascript?

Catchword: compression

[DragonByte Tech]

I think that that would make development and debugging a pain in the arse since it would make it harder to figure out exactly where the error was occurring :)


Fillip

[GameVB]

Is there a way we ca move the shoutbox panel from the left to below the chat thing?

That's a Pro-only feature :)
