http://www.bangalorebikers.com/forumI can't register to your forum due to your complex registration form process. Please provide me with an account that can access the shoutbox.

Can't get it here? or can't get it period?

[Erica1977]

Ok Thanks tryed this but i will stay with MGC Chatbox which has better options. Your shout is nice but i will just stick with my MGC Chatbox.:)

[DragonByte Tech]

Can't get it here? or can't get it period?It can be purchased from our website :)

[SPEEDKILLZ]

ok thanks and thanks for your time

How do you disable hooks in config.php?

[DragonByte Tech]

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);


Fillip

[DragonByte Tech]

v5.4.7 Hotfix
Fix: The shoutbox should no longer get stuck on "Loading..." if you are running no other DBTech products. Please re-download the files then re-import the product .xml file. It is not needed to re-upload the files.

Fillip

[thecore762]

Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::set() in /home/*******/public_html/includes/functions.php on line 7425

After I added:
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

[DragonByte Tech]

That is not a vBShout error so there's nothing I can do about that unfortunately :(


Fillip

[thecore762]

Is there a way for me to disable plugins through mysql?

[DragonByte Tech]

Plugins are cached in the datastore, so doing that wouldn't do you much good I'm afraid.

Please try re-downloading and re-uploading all default vBulletin files, as I can confirm this does not happen on a vBulletin installation that has not had its core files edited.

Fillip

[DragonByte Tech]

I've uploaded another hotfix that should no longer require you to add the disable_hooks to config.php.

That being said, being unable to replicate this issue, I can't guarantee it will do any good.

Fillip

[thecore762]

Hi there, I figured out why it wasn't working.
I am a dumb ass.
I did not set vBSEO to 666...so i was locked out.

[thecore762]

P.S: Thank you Belazor and Ozzy47 for helping me out!
As always quality plugins and amazing support!

[DragonByte Tech]

Glad it worked out :)

I can't register to your forum due to your complex registration form process. Please provide me with an account that can access the shoutbox.


You have got a PM with Login details

[DragonByte Tech]

You're still running v5.4.4, which is unsupported.

As for the loading issue, please re-download, re-upload and re-import the XML file. I believe I have fixed all the outstanding issues and also addressed the upgrade difficulties.

Fillip

[jooohn1]

Thank you so much. Its working fine now. I will be going for the pro in a week time. I prefer life time one.

Shoutbox has become extremely slow. After pressing enter its taking too long to show text on shoutbox. Am I missing any settings ???

[DragonByte Tech]

Try setting the refresh time to a lower amount.
You should also turn off the context menu, as the additional data it sends leads to extra server load.

In addition, hiding the shoutbox from guests prevents them from taking up resources when they can't shout (no guests can ever shout).

And finally, setting the Idle Timeout to a lower amount as well as turning on Auto-Idle can also help reduce the resources it consumes.

Fillip

[patorz31]

Hi there I reinstalled you the update with the hotfix and it works perfect. I love this shout box and we will be going pro after the club has it's elections.

[jagexfails]

Hey, I already have a chatbox on my forumhome and I wanted to add this chatbox in a different part of my website, and I was wondering what best way of going about doing this would be.

[1320Nation]

I read on page 30 something it was mentioned this mod can be relocated in other areas using the Pro version. What are those areas? If it will allow me to move the shoutbox inside any of my forums I will get the pro version.

With the shoutbox only displayed on the forumhome page is a huge downfall to this mod. It would be great to have the ability to put it with in any forum. And it would be even better if it could be set so that the same shoutbox showed in each requested forum. I would think this would be easier to do then having separate shoutboxes.

Btw, I read through all the details for the Pro version and nowhere did it mention anything about the ability to have the shoutbox in other areas.

[DragonByte Tech]

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).

Hope that helps :)


Fillip

[1320Nation]

Thank you very much for the info. Can you also include the necessary code to add the shoutbox to any given forum?

[DragonByte Tech]

Wrap it in <vb:if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == x">


Fillip

[stilly]

I have created a new instance for a private forum. I have 1 instance at forumhome that is available to all members. This new instance I can add the to the private forum but get this:

132825

Stuck on loading, and above the navbar. What do I need to do to have it display below the navbar in the forum and not stay on loading. The main instance works fine with the box checked for display below navbar. The new instance has to be put in a custom location. Although if I check display below navbar it will display as another instance on forumhome but does work.

[DragonByte Tech]

Please describe the exact location you inserted the code from the previous post.

Fillip

[stilly]

At the top of forumdisplay:

{vb:raw show.vbshout_instance2}
<vb:if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == xx">
</vb:if>

Edit: Didnt wrap. Did and good. Works fine.

<vb:if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == xx">
{vb:raw show.vbshout_instance2}
</vb:if>

Put it just below
{vb:raw announcebits}
</vb:if>

For those wondering.

Hello ,

How do you make the shoutbox look like this --> http://screensnapr.com/v/dvaIII.png

no shouter name,date and on top no shoutbox,active users: tabs and you still can shout anonymously with links .. how to do it this way .. thanks .

[Z-Giochi]

Hello. I use this shoutbox good but I would like to apply some modifications. When I click on bold, italic, underline, I become bold, italic, underline all the posts I've written. I would like instead to turn into bold, italic, underline only a single message and not all. Same thing for the font type and color.

Thanks to all and congratulations for the mod. Sorry for my English.

And how can I do? I wanted to make sure that if I click on the button I get the bold code [b] [/ b]

Upgraded to 5.4.7. Context menu is not showing. Have it enabled, but when I click on the username in the shout, it goes straight to user profile. Used to be able to select PM, profile etc. Suggestions?

[DragonByte Tech]

And how can I do? I wanted to make sure that if I click on the button I get the bold code [b] [/ b]You can't.
We're considering making it so right clicking the button will insert the BBCode, but that will have to be for a future version :)

Upgraded to 5.4.7. Context menu is not showing. Have it enabled, but when I click on the username in the shout, it goes straight to user profile. Used to be able to select PM, profile etc. Suggestions?Please revert any customised templates, flush any cache systems like vB Optimise and do a hard refresh (Ctrl+F5) in your browser.

The context menu is working fine in 5.4.7 :)

I updated to v5.4.8 but I did not see the clear way to add the shoutbox to any forum. Other then that thanks for sticking with this cool mod! :up:

[thecore762]

This update went smoothly!
BTW is it still supposed to say 5.4.7 on the forums?
It shows the right version under plugin managed.

[DragonByte Tech]

Whoops, forgot to update that version number :p

I'll update the zips in a moment :)

Can one of you please tell me how I can get my shoutbox to appear when I go to "New Posts"?
I am suppose to put this somewhere but I don't know where {vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1}

You'll need to figure out what templates are loaded on that page, I don't know that either unfortunately :(

Hey Fillip, I was looking in the navbar template trying to figure out where I am suppose to enter the {vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1}. Could you tell me if it looks like I'm even in the right place and if I am could you please tell me exactly where I should put that code so the shoutbox will list on the "New Posts' forums as well as the main forum page.

Hey, great mod and my community is loving it so far. One question, I can't find the css to change the highlight color, right now it is a dark grey which makes the highlighted text unreadable and I want to just use a hex value for a soft yellow or something, I think the class to edit it is dbtech_vbshout_message_frame in the dbtech_vbshout_frames template, but I don't know how to get the highlight class to take a different color...

Here are the current contents of that template.
<div class="dbtech_vbshout_message_frame">
<div id="dbtech_shoutbox_notice_frame{vb:var instance.instanceid}" style="display:none;">
<div class="highlight" style="padding: {vb:stylevar blockrow_padding}"><b>{vb:rawphrase dbtech_vbshout_notice}:</b> <span id="dbtech_shoutbox_notice_message{vb:var instance.instanceid}">N/A</span></div>

Hey Fillip, I've run into an odd problem. We just upgraded to Pro, we're BIG fans of DBTech mods.

When I click on the "Home Page" button in the navbar, I get this address....
http://team-kill.com/cmps_index.php?pageid=homepage
and the chatbox hangs.

BUT if you add the www., as in....
http://www.team-kill.com/cmps_index.php?pageid=homepage
the chatbox shows just fine.

Any thoughts?

[Micha66]

ok i have it!

thats the way i got the shoutbox in a widget:

1. create a new template, i called it: vbcms_widget_vbshout
2. code of the template: {vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1}
3. save the template
4. create a new html-widget. name it whatever you want.
5. use for the widget the templatename: vbcms_widget_vbshout
6. code of the widget: <div><div/>
7. save it and put it in the layout whereever you want.
8. to get it working you have to disable the Auto-Display of the Shoutbox



Muhaha im so proud of myself, im a real newbie and made it myself :) :)

Very nice Shout. I did a lot of reading in this thread to change the typing background, where you type. I tried your suggestions:
"
It seems it's the input_background stylevar you need to modify.
If this doesn't work either, check the following CSS attribute in vbulletin-formcontrols.css: "

I tried this and it didn't work.
I got to change this to keep it, thanks!

[ozzy47]

DBT don't have a dedicated widget for use in the CMS, however the deployment system can be used for it:

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: Change the Shoutbox Deployment setting to include the script names of all the pages you wish the Shoutbox to appear on. For instance:
To have it appear on the front page (CMS) as well as the Forum Home, you'd enter index,vbcms for this setting.
To have it appear on every page, you'd remove the contents of this setting.

Step 4: Change the Manually Display Shoutbox setting to include the template names you wish the Shoutbox to appear on. For instance:
To have it appear on the front page (CMS) as well as the Forum Home, you'd enter FORUMHOME,vbcms_page for this setting.
To have it appear on every page, you'd enter navbar for this setting.

Step 5: Enter the Style Manager and add either {vb:raw vbshout} (vB4) or {$vbshout} (vB3) to the templates you named in Step 4 in the desired location.

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).

Hope that helps

Very nice Shout. I did a lot of reading in this thread to change the typing background, where you type. I tried your suggestions:
"
It seems it's the input_background stylevar you need to modify.
If this doesn't work either, check the following CSS attribute in vbulletin-formcontrols.css: "

I tried this and it didn't work.
I got to change this to keep it, thanks!

Open the template DragonByte Tech: vBShout Templates/dbtech_vbshout_shoutarea_vertical

Place the following code in the html text in there after width:98%;
background-color:#000000"

So it looks like this:
<ul class="dbtech_shoutarea_{vb:raw direction}">
<li>
<textarea id="dbtech_shoutbox_editor{vb:var instance.instanceid}" rows="9" cols="1" onkeyup="javascript:vBShout{vb:var instance.instanceid}.check_length();" onkeydown="return vBShout{vb:var instance.instanceid}.keystroke(event);" style="height:{vb:math {vb:var instance.options.height} + 26}px; width:98%; background-color:#000000" float: {vb:raw direction};"></textarea>
</li>
</ul>

You can change the color to what you wish by changing the 000000 to a different value.

Not only did that work, but you replied with it in 8 minutes with a very indepth explanation! Fantastic job indeed man, *Nominate you for Member of the Month* Good job and THANKS!!!

[Tahooma]

is it just me or is this mod way overloaded ?
big js and css files blow up the size of forum.php.
Very sad story, as this chat would be my favorite, function wise...

[DragonByte Tech]

It's just you, those things are required to allow the Shoutbox to be displayed on every page. Previously, CSS / JS would not load unless you specified what pages it should load on, however the majority of our users were not experienced enough to be able to know that, for instance, in order to put the shoutbox on the vBulletin CMS, they needed to add "vbcms" to the "scripts to load the SB on" setting.

Therefore, we opted for removing that requirement altogether.

[Lestat_]

maybe stupid question but i don't see it in the description : does the lite version has a function where users can choose font size ? It used to be pro only but i missed a few updates so I'm not sure wether it has been added as a lite feature recently or not :$

[ozzy47]

Only text options available in the lite version is.

Update text styles

Bold
Italic
Underline
Font
Colour

The font size is in the pro version

[DragonByte Tech]

In 99% of cases we do not backport Pro features into Lite. That option is still Pro-only :)


Fillip

[Lestat_]

thanks for the info mate, keep up the good work :)

decided to try out the pro version and just bought a 3 month license (awaiting authorisation it sais so could not yet test it) :)-

HI
No question, fabulous piece of software, but huge kb-payload is not what i expect in modern times of site optimizing.
Good luck for your mod, we used the pro version for 1 year, but cant renew after taking care of loading times, etc

the custom commands feature in the pro version is sooooooooooooo coooooooooooooool :D

You could try to set the Member Marker Interval to a higher number like 100000 in, ACP/DBTech - vBShout/Instance Management/Forum Milestones

[DragonByte Tech]

Or set it to 0, which disables it :)

[bosanci28]

hmmm,i moved the chat box above the footer and
why the chat box is attached to the other section?
see screen,
thanks

[DragonByte Tech]

Because there's no spacing between them, you can try editing the dbtech_vbshout_shoutbox template and adding a <br /> or two at the top.

Fillip

[bosanci28]

and where i can find that file exactly? i have look and i dont see where is it..
thanks

[DragonByte Tech]

Templates can be found in the Template Manager in vBulletin AdminCP, they are not files.

yap,found it,edited,works!,thanks friend.

[bhanu545]

shoutbox fine if it's after footer but not after nav, why?

[DragonByte Tech]

Your template may lack the necessary hook. Use these instructions to manually place the Shoutbox where you want it to go:

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'm using ShoutBox Pro v 5.4.4 and noticed that a user copied and pasted his email signature into the shoutbox and the phrase *poopy* was generated where a line break would be.
None of his original words where replaced. What caused this and is there anything that can be done?
Thanks

[knightz]

hey, i was wondering if i could get some help. im sort of a newbie with this kind of stuff so bare with me. i've been trying to upload your chat box to my website for the past little bit and i keep getting this error /home/content/96/8149096/html/forum/dbtech/vbshout/includes/class_install.php appears to be missing!

Also in the instructions I don't understand what it means by CHMOD the /dbtech/vbshout/aop folder to 0777.

I don't know if I'm uploading the files correctly perhaps, if I could get some help with this issue it would be much appreciated :D

Thanks for the help Fillip I'm going to install it later today and ill tell you how it goes!

[mrscot]

The swear word filter was my first guess. Turns out there's nothing there that would do that. Since it was pasted into the ShoutBox (it had line breaks in it), maybe there are invisible characters that could cause this.

[DragonByte Tech]

No idea then, sorry :(

hey mate, i bought this today, but I have a question

http://gyazo.com/ee027addbb95c1fc31187f5232d44adc

how do i remove the black box's?

thanks

[DragonByte Tech]

Sorry, I don't know. We're using stock vBulletin code to produce those dropdowns, so I don't know much about customising it :(


Fillip

[MegaManSec]

hey, I'm not talking about inside the dropbox, im talking about the border which is black..

it seems to already be done here:
http://gyazo.com/8c413cde6d1b30d9cafc49c5abd9c180

you dont know how to do it?

They are different things using different CSS. Unfortunately I am not knowledgeable enough with the way vBulletin styles its editor for me to help you, sorry :(

[cowcowcow]

Shoutbox Tabs: New PM's or User Chat Rooms create Tabs. Tabs will highlight to let you know something new has happened, and you can even set them to make sounds to alert you.

simple question, how do i enable this for PMs so that it creates tabs automatically with each PM? right now tabs are created only if you send a person a PM. If you receive a PM from somebody, no tab is created and it is displayed as a notification in the main chatbox and often people miss it because tehre are so many notifications and chat going on.

I think if this was the other way round it would make perfect sense, because if you are the sender you don't really need a new TAB being created and just need a system notification that in the main chat that the msg got through, but if you are the receiver of the PM you definitely need it if not its easy to miss.

lastly some feedback - a really cool feature rather than clicking the name then choosing the pm option is "/pm name; msg" with the semi colon works i never knew that until someone pointed it out, wasnt in the documentation anywhere!

Thanks Fillip

Available Commands and let me know if it doesn't show up there? Maybe the zip file that got uploaded to vBulletin.org had a bad version of the document :)

[DragonByte Tech]

It looks like you may have upgraded from an old version of vBShout and forgotten to follow the 5.4.0 Upgrade Notes.txt file :)

That's a reference to an old file that no longer exists. That file has instructions on how to get the AdminCP menu working again.

[Breakthecycle2]

Hello,

I have a problem. Please take a look at my site. www.droid-tech.net. The shoutbox is all screwed up (you might have to maximize the size as I have it minimized). If I uninstall it through the plugin manager, the entire format of the site is off. Any ideas on how to fix this??

[DragonByte Tech]

Guests cannot see the shoutbox on your site, so it would help more if you could post some screenshots or enable it for guests :)


Fillip

[Breakthecycle2]

Fillip

I have enabled it for guests. Also, please see attached screenshot.

[Breakthecycle2]

Also, when I uninstall or disable it, this is what happens.

[DragonByte Tech]

vBShout does not modify your theme in any way so when it's disabled it doesn't leave anything behind that'd do that.

As for the previous issue, that happens if you upgraded from 5.3 or earlier and didn't revert template customisations. Could you please check you don't have any customised vBShout templates?

It can also happen if you have IE7 compatibility header on and is viewing it in IE. Frankly nobody should still be using IE7 anyway so we recommend turning it off, because newer versions of IE are more standards compliant and don't need it, plus they have issues with their Backwards Compatibility rendering engines.

Fillip

I have no customized VBShout templates and I am also not using IE7. I am using Google Chrome. Nothing else has been done. I logged into it today and noticed that. I tried to uninstall it and then re install and that was the outcome. It has to be SB related.

[DragonByte Tech]

Are you running any cache systems like vB Optimise? If so, you can try flushing them.

Also, could you please try it on a default (unmodified) style?

Fillip

[Breakthecycle2]

Problem solved!

[DragonByte Tech]

Glad it worked out :)


Fillip

[MegaManSec]

Found a bug.

When someone get's a acheivment like 50 shouts, go to the arhceive and there name is just .username with that blank green color.. it needs to be .musername

http://gyazo.com/dbfe40f51708db65639d8ee60d08e34c < example

:)

[DragonByte Tech]

It is using musername, it just looks slightly different because it doesn't have an <a> tag wrapped around it.

What version of PHP are you running? It works fine for me on PHP 5.3.

Fillip

[wtfaatp]

PHP Version 5.2.17

[DragonByte Tech]

I don't have that version available to test, it's possible there's a bug in its implementation of regular expressions. Do you have any options for upgrading PHP version?
As in, WHM's EasyApache or equivalent selection.

Fillip

[wtfaatp]

Not currently as I have a shared box.

If it'd be easier to give you access to check into this I have no problem.

[DragonByte Tech]

I don't think I can fix bugs in the PHP software on a shared box :p

Seriously though, I don't know of any other way of coding the specified line, so there's nothing I can do unfortunately. You may want to omit the SIZE tag as that's the BBCode that's causing this problem.

Is their a way to stop the shoutbox code loading on every page even though it's not visible to guests?

i'm trying to reduce the page load time of my site and even though the shoutbox is only visible to members on my front page the code still loads on other pages for example:

vbshout-color.js?v=547 7.2 kB
vbshout-font.js?v=547 6.0 kB
vbshout-fontstyle.js?v=547 4.3 kB
vbshout-sound.js?v=547 5.0 kB

[Myth-Scape]

Any idea why I get the error (looks like a sticky) that says "error: not found"

forum is 4.1.7 i think (security patch # 2)

i used the second link

I have reloaded three times each time I made sure overwrite was checked.

It shouldn't make a difference but I have like four of the dbtech products on my forum is it possible they are like...glitching with each other or something?

[DragonByte Tech]

That means vbshout.php doesn't exist in your forum folder. Please drag and drop the contents of the upload folder into your forum folder :)

@DBtech

back to the problem i had:


i have a problem with the little menu that pops up when you click on someone's name

it pops up under the chatbox ( i have to scroll down the forums) and not next to the name i clicked

any fix?

I got really annoyed by this so I looked for the problem and i guess i found it

when the style I bought updated to 4.1.5 they added a bunch of code on the additional.css, i deleted everything there, saved it, refreshed and the context menu was fine but my site layout was completely broken (relies on the additional.css code i deleted), can you please help me find the part in the additional.css file that is causing the problem, here it is:http://pastebin.com/n4UFvB6L

Thank you, i really appreciate it

[DragonByte Tech]

Sorry, I have no idea what specifically that causes it so I am unable to tell you :(

What you need to do is, take one bit by one (for instance, img {
border:0;
} is one) and readd them to additional.css until you find the one that disrupts it :)

thats alotttt of work :O
do you know what template/class you used to make the context menu hover?

[DragonByte Tech]

As you can see in the dbtech_vbshout_shoutbox template:
<div class="popupmenu" style="display:inline; float:none;">
<a href="javascript://" class="popupctrl">{vb:raw title}</a>
<ul class="popupbody popuphover">
<li><a href="vbshout.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=archive&amp;instanceid={vb:var instance.instanceid}" style="color: {vb:stylevar popupmenu_color};" rel="nofollow">{vb:rawphrase archive}</a></li>
{vb:raw template_hook.dbtech_vbshout_popupbody}
</ul>
</div>

But that doesn't mean that any of the other classes can't be responsible, which is why I recommend taking it step by step :)


Fillip

[vBNinja]

UPDATE:

I found the problem:

it is this block of code:


.pageWrap {
width:{vb:stylevar doc_width};
margin:{vb:stylevar doc_margin};
position:relative;
}


specifically this part:

position:relative;



I removed that line, and my banner as well as some other aspects of my page messed up, but the context menu worked D:

UPDATE: 2

did some research on positioning with css and changed "relative" to "inherit" and it worked like a charm; Fixed the context menu and didn't mess up my layout :D

Hi dude,

I bought your Inferno Shoutbox Pro version about 3 years ago. Great product, but recently someone vandalised it with a malicious SQL injection. Now it won't work. :(

I am happy to upgrade to this new pro version, but will probably need your help to install it as I am not the most tech savvy guy on the planet.

Is this new SB as good as Inferno Pro was?

When I visited the site to get pricing for the "brand-free" version, I got prompted for a user name and password (http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/vbecommerce.php?do=purchase&productid=13). I don't have a user name and password. The only other option was to "register" onto some board.

When I visited the site to get pricing for the "brand-free" version, I got prompted for a user name and password (http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/vbecommerce.php?do=purchase&productid=13). I don't have a user name and password. If you want to purchase any of our products, you will need a user name and password, as well as a confirmed email. We do not allow "guest purchases" for security reasons.

The only other option was to "register" onto some board I've never heard of.If you look at the name of this account and compare that to the URL of the board, I think you'll find a few similarities ;)

This seems very suspect and spammy to me.DragonByte Technologies is a registered company:
DragonByte Technologies Ltd. Registered in Scotland. Company Number SC397765
TaxKings Limited, 118 Maryhill Rd, Glasgow, G20 7QS, Scotland.
You are free to look us up on the following website: http://companieshouse.gov.uk/
Click "Go to WebCHeck" on that page and input our company number(SC397765) into the Company Number search field.

You will then be presented with our official date of incorporation, and all other details that verify that we are a legitimate business.

In addition, if you un-tick the "Receive email from Administrators" upon registration, you will never receive an email from us - except from the email confirmation email, of course :)

Should you accidentally be enrolled in our mailing list (powered by our vBMail product) for whatever reason, we provide an unsubscribe link at the bottom of each and every email - once you click that, you will be unsubscribed and never re-subscribed unless you manually do so on our board.

And the last thing I want to do is to have to jump through 60 hoops to find out a price to get branding off a product.I believe I have changed the link on the buttons you clicked to land on that page to one that does not require user name and password, yet displays the same information.

Please try this link: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/vbecommerce.php?do=product&productid=13 and let me know if you are able to see the pricing there :)
If not, please provide a screenshot of the page you are seeing and I will attempt to rectify it :)

Again, if you do decide to purchase from us (PayPal only, so no credit card information will be shared with us in any way, shape or form) then you will need an account (user name and password) and an email account you have access to, as part of our fraud prevention scheme.

Hopefully I have adequately addressed your fears, if not please let me know and I will attempt to clarify :)

There is nothing that would prevent that tab from appearing one way or the other, so unfortunately I don't think I can be of any further assistance :(

[Crapin]

I am hopping something can be added in the future releases.

Just two extra things to the ban system, reason field and a unbanned time.

Example in the shoutbox, a moderator can type /ban John Spamming 1m 3d this would ban the user John for 1 month 3 days and unban him on that date, h=Hour(s) d=Day(s) m=Month(s) y=year(s) 0= perm.

Just at the moment when you have a few moderators banning people they can either forget the reason or/and forget to unban if it was a minor offense.

Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the great software. One thing i'd like to change though.
Actually 2 :)
I added it near the bottom of my site and altough it's not a big issue i do not really like the fact that it kisses the last subforum. If you look at a Vbulletin 4 site you'll notice some space and a small shadow between different areas. The shoutbox covers that shadow. Also notice the space between "Mark forums read" and the shoutbox? I'd love to get rid of that! Once again no big issues but it will just make things look more tight.
Thanks!

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/01/53.jpg

[DragonByte Tech]

You can control the margins and padding by editing the dbtech_vbshout_shoutbox template and changing the properties of the outlying <div>, I think.

I'm not very skilled in CSS so I'm unfortunately unable to give more specific instructions :(

Just a few Questions if anyone can help.On our Forum we have two sets of main chat users and have a non english room,Would there be a way to Keep our main Chat box on the forum home page but also have it shown in a Forum section at the same time so as the non English users can have it inside there own section on the forum??

[DragonByte Tech]

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).

Hope that helps https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/11/9.png

yo, your shoutbox is by far the best! thank you so much....I've never once had a problem with it and all the functions are great! keep up the great work!

I've been reading some of the questions on this site, and I wonder how some of these people even turned on their computer!

[twolegit]

just finished the upgrade and everything works better then before! much more smooth, very nice!

[meissenation]

I went from the last page to 107 but haven't seen anyone ask yet -- is there an easy way to make the input box be a 1 line textbox above the shoutbox like Inferno chat had it? My users don't like the input box being on the side.

[meissenation]

Seems like loading of the shoutbox is kind of buggy too. About half the time it just sits there saying "Loading..." even though it says there's 4 active users, then if I refresh once or twice it finally loads...

[twolegit]

yeah, there are problems now....i installed it fine last night but now it wont load, you have to type and enter for it to refresh

any thoughts?

[ForceHSS]

Ensure you've reverted any customised vBShout templates, then check Firefox' error console.

If you see any errors like "vBShout1 is undefined" then it is a customised template somewhere that has not been updated to v6 :)


Fillip

[meissenation]

I keep getting:
Timestamp: 2/6/2012 9:21:51 AM
Error: userOptions.soundSettings is undefined
Source File: /dbtech/vbshout/clientscript/vbshout.js?v=602
Line: 1739

And if I switch between Active Users and back to Shoutbox the tabs recognize the change but the content inside the box area does not change, it stays as Active Users...

Plus the error console is showing a ton of dropped declarations on the VB Default style specific to dbtech templates...

[DragonByte Tech]

Will be fixed in the next release :)
Alternatively, downloading the Lite version via our forum (no registration needed) will always ensure you have the latest fixes :)

Fillip

[meissenation]

Is the lite version on this thread not the same version that is on your site? I just downloaded the lite version here last night.

It appears it does not like the following lines:
if (typeof userOptions.soundSettings[instanceId] == 'undefined')

I have all sounds disabled for the instance.

[DragonByte Tech]

It is, but hotfixes like these are applied to the Lite version on our site first, and then put on vB.org during regular maintenance releases.

This is because all I have to do to fix an issue on our site is use my file comparison tool to upload a file, whereas for vB.org I need to generate a .zip file, edit thread, click Manage Attachments, remove old upload, navigate to the .zip file, hit upload, save, no version changes, save again.

All this with vB.org actually loading, which is a rare occurrence indeed :p


Fillip

[meissenation]

Thanks for the clarification, Fillip. I downloaded the stable version from your website and WOW what a difference. The stable version is light years faster, all the lag my users complained about is gone. Thank you.

My only request now is how can I move the editor box from the left to the top?
Edit: I see in the pro listing on your site it says "Control shout area location" -- does that mean moving the editor from the left to above the shoutbox? If so, I understand and will purchase the pro option.

[DragonByte Tech]

By stable version, do you mean 5.4.8?

Moving the editor is indeed a Pro-only feature :)


Fillip

[twolegit]

I couldn't figure anything out...no errors, reverted my templates.

but i reinstalled 5.4.8 and everything is great again...still a happy camper ;)

thank you again and thanks for the fast response!

Hi there.

I've just installed this addon on my recently updated 4.1.9 forum, but it only appears in my forumdisplay screen -as expected- As far as it is only showed for a small group of users in my forum, I would like it to display also in every thread. Is that possible?

And another question: is there any way to display the chat messages from top to bottom? reverse way it shows now

thanks in advance

thanks in advanceYou can make the shoutbox show everywhere by following these instructions:

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).

Thanks in advanceThat's a problem with your language's encoding. Spanish letters and indeed all Unicode letters work perfectly with ISO-8859-1. You need to ensure that your language uses either UTF-8 (but only if your database also uses UTF-8) or ISO-8859-1 :)

Is there a way to move it from the top of Forum Home to the buttom? If so, please explain procedure.

Thank you,

[DragonByte Tech]

In Instance Management, you can swap position via a drop-down :)

Thanks for answer, but I can't understand. My lenguage's encoding is the same that I had with your previous version and it worked perfectly.
Maybe you have changed something here, because I don't have problems with no other mod.
I don't know how to make my chat runs properly. I'm afraid that I have to uninstall, sorry :(
