vB Shoutbox 1.0 [Archive] - Page 2

This hack looks awesome.
I installed the hack..Installation went fine, but when i go to the URL: www.yourfourms.com/forums/shoutbox.php
Under "The Shoutbox " it says "Sorry, no matching Shoutbox items found."

And when I try to "shout now", I get a 404/page cannot be found.

I know some others had this problem so I also tried to replace
header("Location: $PHP_SELF?s=$sessionhash[sessionid]");

with:
header("Location: shoutbox.php?s=$sessionhash[sessionid]");
But still no luck:(

Any ideas? Thanks.

The form is posting to shoutbox.php in your root folder rather than $bburl/shoutbox.php... There's a fix for this in this thread. :)

I just modified this great Hack to work with the Smilie-Sort order, removed the last Hard-Coded Text and added a Settings-Group to the vBulletin Options where you can set the Number of Smilies, Shouts per Page and Leaders to be shown.
This are only some little modifications, but if you are interested i will post them.
I am working on some Scripts to work with Boxes into vBPortal. Did some of you did this before?

Finaly decided to install this hack. Installation worked great. But I have a big problem. When I want to post a shout, or delete a shout it always wants to download shoubox.php. What do I have to do?

anyone of you clever hack dudes here tell me where i am going wrong because i love this hack and want it on my forums ....

NTLDR

Check that in shoutbox_postshout that you have shoutbox.php as the filename in the form, if you have changed the name change it there.

If not, do you have IIS? And do the shouts appear in the shoutbox?

When I try to submit a shout, I get redirected to www.mydomain.com/shoutbox.php and I need to get redirected to www.mydomain.com/forum/shoutbox.php. How do I change this?

Is there a way to prevent certain usergroups from using the Shoutbox?

NTLDR

10-27-2002, 08:11 PM

Add:

if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==X) {
show_nopermission();
}

Right after:

require('./global.php');

For multiple groups use: $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==X or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==X

Make sure X is replaced with the usergroupid.

How can i reduce the maximum Characters of a Shout?
Any Ideas? :confused:

NTLDR

11-01-2002, 08:23 PM

Find:

if ($type == 'shout' && $comment_submit && trim($message) != '' && $bbuserinfo[userid] > 0) {

Add after:

$message = substr($message,0,CHARS);

Change CHARS to the maximum number of characters they can use, any extra are just removed. Not the best way IMO, but the quickest and easiest

Alternativly you could do something similar to just reduce the text shown on forumhome.

Hoffi

11-03-2002, 04:46 PM

Sure. I changed the MetaRefresh in the File itself, and the Form in the postshout template.
But at first, this has no effect, and it is for the first call of the site unneccesary.

11-05-2002, 07:13 PM

Here's an idea - wouldn't it be great if the actual shouts (in the left column), were loaded into an <iframe>, where they could then be refreshed at a frequent interval? This would allow you to see new shouts without loosing a message you might be typing...

Just a quick question - is it possible to limit the number of characters per shout?

Some of my users have been posting shouts that are more like mini-novels, and its throwing my entire front page out of whack!

Overgrow

11-26-2002, 04:58 PM

A quick improvement to the shoutbox_postshout template:

This allows you to limit the characters posted by checking the form onsubmit. Javascript taken from here (http://www.codeave.com/javascript/code.asp?u_log=7044) because I'm lazy. Replace the shotubox_postshout template with:

<script Language="JavaScript">

</script>

<table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">
<form action="/edge/shoutbox.php" method="post" name="vbform" onsubmit="return Length_TextField_Validator()">
<input type="hidden" name="type" value="shout">

<tr>
<td bgcolor="#006633" width="100%"><normalfont color="#FFCC00"><b>Send A Message</b></normalfont></td>
</tr>
</table>

<table cellpadding="8" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">
<tr bgcolor="#DFDFDF">
<td width="100%"><normalfont><b>Message:</b></normalfont>   <smallfont><b>[
<a href="$bburl/misc.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=showsmilies" class="small" target="_blank">Smilies</a> -
<a href="$bburl/misc.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=bbcode" class="small" target="_blank">vB Code</a> ]</b></smallfont>
<br/><textarea name="message" rows="10" cols="60" class="bginput" wrap></textarea>

I don't see where it even specifies what version you are using. Just whether or not you have .php or .php3 extensions.

Here is Firefly's SQL Hack you may want to use: (edited out)

I might have an idea why it won't work for you guys.
Did you perhaps install, the "vBcode and smilie user interface improvement" Hack? Well i did, and after modifying (or you could uninstall it) the smilies worked again.

I guess the modified Vbcode.js causes the problem...

My 2 euro cents :)

Just replace:
$smilies = $DB_site->query("SELECT title, smilietext, smiliepath FROM smilie ORDER BY smilieid ASC LIMIT $smilie_limit");

with

$smilies = $DB_site->query("SELECT title, smilietext, smiliepath FROM smilie ORDER BY RAND() ASC LIMIT $smilie_limit");

Have fun! ;)

not sure what the deal is with this hack but, the first test post loaded 3 pages of the same shout...and took down the server. After it came back up, I doubled checked everything, and it was all according to the install text. Upon a second test post, it again posted the same thing about 25 times, and again took down the server.

I would like to force a break in my shoutbox. IE, if you type to many charecters without a space or a newline, it will automagically insert a break so that my front page isn't thrown out of whack. Is there a way I can do that?

how many queries does this hack add to your forums main page... is it 3 ?????

also @ barhopper

find this piece of code in your template shoutbox_postshout

<form action="/shoutbox.php" method="post" name="vbform">

change it 2

<form action="./shoutbox.php" method="post" name="vbform">

hope this helps m8

please i think 3 queries is alot or am i wrong ????

We added this to our forums at http://www.authentic-campaigner.com/vBulletin/index.php?s=

We customized it a bit, as you'll see. We added a feature so our users can Expand or Collapse the shoutbox in case they feel its intrusive. Incidentally, the shoutbox defaults to collapsed for non-registered guests. For registered users it will expand to 5 shouts, if of course they hit Expand.

We also reformatted the text a bit.

All in all we think it turned out very well. Thanks for the great hack.

yeah, well, it wasn't posting for me, either, and then i fixed it. Now, it's not working for me again. Now it's doubling the dir that the boards are at.

I.E. - it should be --- /harrypotter/shoutbox.php

instead, it's going --- /harrypotter/harrypotter/shoutbox.php

Anyone know what could be wrong? :(

Moderators Can Delete in Shoutbox
written by: Attrox - Version 1.0

This is an addition to the vB Shoutbox (http://www.vbulletin.org/hacks/index.php?s=&action=showhack&hackid=377) hack, written by TWTCommish (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=422).

This hack is pretty self-explanitory. It gives moderators and super-moderators the ability to delete shouts in the Shoutbox. The hack should not take very long to install, only a few minutes at most, and it is very simple to install, since the add-on only requires a few line additions. If you have any questions, or problems, please post for support in THIS thread, or if you would rather private message me, that is fine.

Enjoy!

Yes, I really like this shoutbox alot. But I am having a problem with one of the optional feature, the mass shout pruning. I am running vb 2.3.0 and uploaded admin_shoutbox.php file and replaced the code in the index.php file in the /admin directory. When I try to delete a shout either by userid or by date it changes screens says "0 shout(s) deleted" and nothing happens. I didn't know if anybody had any ideas that could help me.

hawkin

05-07-2003, 02:05 PM

Im not sure if this allready has been suggested, but I'll post it anyway (25 pages is alot!):

I came across the script used alot of processing time, and figured at last it was cause one LIMIT statement is not set up (and that will affect performace very much, if you have a shoutbox table with alot of shouts, as us: 127.000 shouts)

Find this line:
$limit = ($start > 0) ? "LIMIT $start, ".($shout_limit + 1) : '';

and change it to:
$limit = ($start > 0) ? "LIMIT $start, ".($shout_limit + 1) : "LIMIT $shout_limit";

It will speed up the default page (when you are not browsing for older shouts) quite a bit for big shoutboxes (we went from 11 sec to 2 sec)

TWTCommish

05-07-2003, 11:01 PM

Eh? There's a limit on every query except the counters, last I checked.

hawkin

05-08-2003, 12:11 AM

not if $start=0
The shouts query will query ALL the shouts in the shouts table, even when you only need the first $shout_limit.

if $start >0, then yes, there is a limit set (and thats why browsing the history is quicker)

Did you guys ever figure out why the page attempts to download itself when you are submitting a shout?
I tried to fiddle with the templates and the file but couldn't get around it.

@Splitfyre - Find in shoutbox.php:
$shout_text = bbcodeparse($shout_text);
Add below it:
$shout_text = censortext($shout_text);
Now activate censoring in the admin options;):)

For those of you who want to know how to limit the number of smilies allowed in the shoutbox:
Find:
if ($type == 'shout' && $comment_submit && trim($message) != '' && $bbuserinfo[userid] > 0) {
add below:
// check max images
if ($maximages!=0) {
$parsedmessage=bbcodeparse($message);
if (countchar($parsedmessage,"<img")>$maximages) {
eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_toomanyimages")."\");");
exit;
}

Open Shoutbox.php

Find this:

$templatesused = 'shoutbox,shoutboxbit,shoutbox_adminoptions,shoutb ox_error,shoutbox_leaderbit,shoutbox_leaders,shout box_notloggedin,shoutbox_pagenav,shoutbox_postshou t';

Replace that with this:

$templatesused = 'shoutbox,shoutboxbit,shoutbox_adminoptions,shoutb ox_error,shoutbox_leaderbit,shoutbox_leaders,shout box_notloggedin,shoutbox_banned,shoutbox_pagenav,s houtbox_postshout';

Then find this:

eval("\$shoutbox_postshout = \"".gettemplate("shoutbox_notloggedin",1,0)."\";");
}

Below that, add this:

// ###################### START OF BANNING OPTION ##########################

if ($bbuserinfo[userid] == X) {
eval("\$shoutbox_postshout = \"".gettemplate("shoutbox_banned",1,0)."\";");
}

// ###################### END OF BANNING OPTION ##########################

Replace X in that code with the User ID of the person you are banning.

Then create a template named shoutbox_banned

Put this in that template:

<br/><center><normalfont color="white"><b>You have been banned from the shoutbox and no longer have the ability to shout.</b></normalfont></center><br/>

Upload your shoutbox.php and that should be it.

Don't forget to change the font color from white in the added template to whatever color that matches your style. That's the color the text will be from the ban message.

If you do that correctly, when someone that is banned goes to the shoutbox it will look like the attached screenshot. Sorry it's not a function that you can do from your AdminCP, I'm not that good. :ermm:

You can set it at a higher rate yourself in shoutbox.php

I don't see why people say this. The only reason for it needing to be increased is if people post huge messages there. I don't allow that on my forums cause huge messages on forumhome make your forums look retarded.

`userid` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
`shout_text` text NOT NULL,
`timestamp` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',

if you did that make sure you added

would it be possible to add the option to ban someone from the shoutbox in the mod and admincps.. like a link called "Ban From Shout" and then it brings you to a page with a list of people that are banned and yuo can remove them from the ban list or add people to the ban list? that would be awesome!

OK... I dont think the above solution is a very good solution. Not that I dont appreciate it because I do.

It works...... I guess.... but it gives the usergroups without permission a raw error screen like a php line error screen. That doesn't seem to be a very slick way to handle this.

I was hoping I could set other usergroups to be just not able to post like it is for unregistered users etc.

When a unregistered user sees the shoutbox it looks normal, no errors or anything yet there is no "submit" button or text entry field so they can't post. Couldn't we make it to where we could set other usergroups to get this same treatment?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Installed the shoutbox ok but when I press shout it takes me to the wrong link. Instead of going to /forums/shoutbox.php it goes to just my root dir and looks for shoutbox.php.

How or where do I change the link so when a peeps press the shout buttton it goes to /forums/shoutbox.php as it says to do this in the instructions Upload the shoutbox.php file to your main forums directory. There, you're done!.

Thanks

Thanks! Clicked install!
Very nice addition!

It would also be very handy if the shoutbox doesn't support or automatically removes linebreaks, just to prevent the shout get's enormous 'heights' on the forum home page.

You'll have to fix your code or your instructions;)

Either change your instructions to name the added template "editshout" and not "shoutbox_editpost", or change the following code in your file:
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("editshout")."\");"); to
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("shoutbox_editpost")."\");");

Nice hack, just needs some work.:)

My code was only so it would get the appropriate template.

The edit thing does not work for me so I uninstalled it.

This hack is an add on which allows users to edit their own shouts and allows admins mods and supermods to edit any shout they want

Enjoy ;)

An Admin only edit option can be found at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=14656

Thanks a lot! Could you do another add-on, so that guest can enter a nick anc can chat as well? :rolleyes:

i know the modification for limiting chars in a shout is released but is there a way to limit just what is shown on the forumhome? like whatever text gets cutoff gets replaced with ...
Ex:
Me and my friend were going to the...

I did not see this posted anywhere so here it is.

I have this hack installed on my website at http://www.dungeonkeepersdomain.com and it is awesome.

Can somebody please an addition so I can display who has the most shouts.

Something like the following:

Top Shouter: {username} with XX shout(s).

Hopefully the "username" will be a link to the user's profile.

TIA

Can someone help me? I installed the Shout Box on my site and when a user posts a shout, it posted 125 entries to a single user. Is there a way to get it to post one entry when someone makes a post?

See what I mean?

I want a miniavatar before the name in the shoutbox and placed this in the shoutbox_bit:

<img src="icon.php?s.userid=$[shoutid]" height="16" width="16">«$name: but this is not working. Ofcourse this isn't the right code to do this. Does anyone know how to do this?

Gio Takahashi

10-29-2003, 02:26 AM

Hmmm, I might look into it and test it out when I get a chance tomorrow. It involves modifying the php files to do this.

I just installed shoutbox and it shows up and seems to work until I try and shout. when I click on the shout now button I get a "The requested URL was not found on this server". Did I miss a config somewhere?

on forumhome template, just find the following:

$loggedinusers
$birthdaybits

And add below:
$the_shoutbox

As for your shoutbox posting error, please show me your forums.

That post was to x-sector but I will look into yours.

Wardsweb do you have any kind of Instant messenger? Preferably AIM? If so Please IM me at Gio Takahashi.

You may have did something wrong in the template. when I used the shout I got a 404, that most likely indicates that you did something wrong in the template.

wardsweb

10-30-2003, 01:45 AM

Sorry no IM. I just did a copy and paste to create the 10 new templates and to edit the other template and index. Think I should just rebuild all the templates?

wardsweb

10-30-2003, 01:54 AM

Yep, it was in a template. I rebuilt them and it works fine. thanks all

wardsweb

10-30-2003, 02:22 AM

My bad - correction - it works fine from the vbindex page but I get a file not found when I try it from the shout page. Where should I look?

Gio Takahashi

10-30-2003, 04:01 PM

Can I look over the templates? I might figure out the problem from there.

wardsweb

10-31-2003, 01:12 AM

Thanks for the offer, but after very carefully going over the code, I found the the code listed in the instructions (that I copied and pasted) had an extra "/" that was hosing it.
