[AJAX] vBShout v2.0

[HabbosUs]

Hello,

Thank you for your response.

Unfortunately restricting it by usergroup will not be adequate in this situation.

Im attempting to discourage members from spending hours chatting via the shoutbox because it means that they are not posting on the forum! I don't want to have to remove the shoutbox although it is looking like this is the only option.

I suppose that i could create a new usergroup which has access to the shoutbox and manually transfer the members who meet the requirements into this group. This would do the job although it would be time consuming.

Does anybody else have any suggestions?

Thanks,

[Zelda-King]

I've noticed when I use the /me command, my username isn't indicated with the datestamp. (Of course, it shows in the shout...) Is this normal?

Working as designed. ;)

[Zelda-King]

I suspected so. Just needed to be sure.

[cclaerhout]

ZT, there's a bug with the AJAX edit feature.

When I try to edit something that has a an apostrophe, it doesn't show the whole thing in the window.


I confirm the problem.

[aranthorn]

99% of users have no problem. A couple users have the issue with "Loading" appearing in the box but it doesn't load and when they input into the text field and hit enter, they get a white page. I don't know why only a couple users have this problem, perhaps it's a java version problem?

Thanks for the hack, BTW. For 99% of my users it works great and they love it.

I Agree!
There is only one problem:
I want "Can wiew Shoutbox, but not messages" for some usergroups.
"15Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /vbshout.php on line 288"
I don?t want to hide vBShout, just don?t let them write.

[Uno]

over a sure number of messages ( 800/900)
the archive not work... only last 10 are visible
i have erased 250 shout and it work.... is correct? Or is 1 bug?

Tank for this great work Zero

p.s. sorry for my english

[cclaerhout]

I Agree!
There is only one problem:

No, there are two problems, the one you describe and the apostrophe edit problem. Just try and you will see.

[Zelda-King]

I haven't tried the other prune commands but /pruneshout [shout] doesn't appear to do anything. I assume you're meant to quote the whole shout between the []? Because that's what I did.

[Boofo]

Do it in the Shout Archive. ;)

[kylek]

Trying to ban ccertain usergroups from seeing the messages in the shoutbox, for banned permissions I have set it to can view shoutbox, but not messages,
and have added the usergroup id number into the banned usergroup box. Now for those people they see the shoutbox but with this warning.

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /vbshout.php on line 288

I am using vB 3.5.0 RC3

[Zelda-King]

Do it in the Shout Archive. ;)I'm wondering why one would need a pruneshout command then, when you can just go to the archive and use the delete option. So... I figured these were actual shoutbox commands as I know /me is.

[Boofo]

pruneshout came along before the archive. I think he just left the code in there instead of messing with it. ;)

[kylek]

Do it in the Shout Archive. ;)

Where does one find the shout archive? It must be late, don't see anything about shout archive.

[Boofo]

Click on the Shoutbox link at the top. ;)

[twitch]

I suggest you to change Shoutbox look. I would like to see something like this in the next version:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

What do you think about this guys?

P.S.: This picture was Photoshop-ed.

Has this been done ye?

[Feckie (Roger)]

<font color="Red">1: Would it be possible to add Font Size to (Bold/Italic/Underline/Colour/Font)
2: Also Can You Make It So that Admins Only Have Access To the Above.</font>

[EdQ]

Can you prune by date?

[kylek]

Click on the Shoutbox link at the top. ;)

Thank you very much, and thank you for vBShout.

[Valter]

Has this been done ye?
I'm wondering same thing.....

[mohhas]

Thanks very much i installed it and traslated the language to arabic.

thanks again

[bi11i]

I have a safari user or two complaining of the size of the shoutbox. Here's a thumbnail attached to show what I mean:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/ (http://img387.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture17ri.png)

As anyone else had this problem...? I don't see this on Mozilla or IE.

[CnB]

can it be set on the right side of the forums ?

[Fj?rgyn]

It would be possible to add censored words in the shoutbox or the shoutbox take the censored-list from the vBulletin-Maintenance?

I have no problems on my site with the shoutbox viewing it directly in latest Safari...

[bi11i]

Strange - would you mind taking a look at my site and telling me what you see? I don't have access to Safari, myself: http://forum.opiophile.org/index.phpI have no problems on my site with the shoutbox viewing it directly in latest Safari...thanks...!

[jac1]

Sorry to re-post, but is it possable to get a smaller font size? And if so, how?

Thanks for any help.

[EdQ]

Anyway to have these shouts count as a post? And add to the user's post count??

[EdQ]

I'm wondering why one would need a pruneshout command then, when you can just go to the archive and use the delete option. So... I figured these were actual shoutbox commands as I know /me is.

Its easier than deleting one at a time.

[thecool]

This is a great addition, my members love it. Question though, is there a way (in the next update) allow it to play a sound when someone posts in the main forum) so that if you've gone to another page you (and your main forum is still up) you could hear when someone's sent a shout?

just a thought.

[Willy-K]

I?m afraid,

the hack doesn?t work with vB3.5 RC3. Take a look here! (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=770469&postcount=462)
What?s the problem?

Regards Willy

[EdQ]

Works fine for me

I also have this problem. When there are too many shouts, it will only show the last 10 in the archive.

[Valter]

This is a great addition
Yeah, this is a great UNSUPPORTED addition :(

[Sooner95]

how do you make the shoutbox bigger? height wise mainly...

[Sooner95]

geeezus... NM.. helps to actually look around a bit! LOL this thing is loaded with options, pfft. thx for the awsome hack!

then mine must be a mirage, as it seems to work fine on mine...lol

[Feckie (Roger)]

Works On Mine Also

[Jason McConnell]

Works on my site too.

[Moya]

It doesn't refresh or post unless I hit refresh by myself. Is there a way to automate it?

thanks

[Feckie (Roger)]

When I ban user groups the following message is displayed in the shoutbox

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in \vbshout.php on line 288


any idea's :rolleyes:

[wtrk]

i have a question. sometimes i cant post and sometimes i cant post. ill type into the box, hit shout and then nothing will ever appear. then come back an hour or two later and try again and it works fine. i was wondering what caused that and if there was a fix for it?

[Annie^.^]

Is there a way to set the shoutbox to automatic refresh? That would be great if that be available.

[Romeos Tune]

It does auto-refresh...... :D

[Fj?rgyn]

What must I do that users cannot delete their own shouts?

[Gizmo5h1t3]

thats the best point about this hack...it DOES auto refresh!!

[VaaKo]

does it work with RC3?

[whitetigergrowl]

does it work with RC3?

Yes, although I do wonder when this will be updated to 2.1 with no more random smilies..which end up causing multiple smilies of the same type at times.

[Annie^.^]

Great thanks!!!!

[Moya]

thats the best point about this hack...it DOES auto refresh!!

Uhmm the problem is it doesn't auto refresh on my test site.

[Alien]

Uhmm the problem is it doesn't auto refresh on my test site.

What browser? I have it working on Firefox 1.07/PC, IE 6x/PC, Firefox 1.5/MAC and Apple Safari/MAC. I have not yet tested on Opera. Hmm.

[derekivey]

Works fine for me on 3.5 final.

[Zachariah]

* Zachariah ponders ......... AdminCP vBShout :D

[mainframe]

Works fine for me on 3.5 final.

Just installed and tested it..
When it's running my serverload goes up from 2.00 to 25.00
any ideas on how this is possible?

[southernlady]

Works just fine with me in 3.5 Gold as well. Liz

[mainframe]

Hmm you website only has 2 people online at the same time..
Mine currently arround 900 average with peaks up to 1300
Maybe this shoutbox isn't good for hgh traffic websites?

How can I remove the old version 3.0 shoutbox? Parts of it is still showing on my home page after i installed the VB 3.5 gold version

[southernlady]

Mainframe, have you TRIED IT? You can always UNISTALL it, just by going in and uninstalling it in the manage products section of the plugin manager. Easiest thing possible. Liz

So had to uninstall it again :-(

Yes, temporarly turned on apache access log and noticed vbshout.php was loading arround 50 times a second.. can't be good :-S

[VaaKo]

does it work with 3.5 Gold?

[JJR512]

Whenever someone is viewing the forum home page (/forums/index.php), Who's Online says they're "The Shoutbox". The link in this case for shoutbox is to forums/index.php.

If they are actually in the shoutbox (on /forums/vbshout.php), everything is correct (the link is to /forums/vbshout.php).

This is a fresh install on a clean 3.5.0 (gold) board.

How do I fix this?

[VaaKo]

I'm having troubles viewing the messages
I have to refresh to view new messages
but it seems my users aren't having my problem!

[southernlady]

does it work with 3.5 Gold?

Works just fine with me in 3.5 Gold as well. Liz

Yes. LOL Liz

[Vizionz]

yeah your gonna have an extremely high rate since your forum has a massive amount of users constantly on. i checked your forum and you got a good amount of people so you figure at least 50% are refreshing the home page every few minutes, and would cause major strain

[rrokdoka]

Where do i upload the vbshout.php i cant find the forums/ folder in the ftp??

[KarateKid]

Yes, I've tried it and did love it..

seems that I have got the same problem. Dramatic serverload :(

Anyone who can fix this or support us with a new version of this hack?

[mainframe]

In the same location as your main script is located..
so when you go to your website it will be located on http://www.your-domain.com/vbshout.php

[rrokdoka]

i just uploaded it in the www/ folder and it works out .... check it out www.rrokdoka.org

Guess the only way for big sites to use this is to recode it and remove the auto update because it's just not possible.. Should be possible using a java applet however.. someone knowing java arroun here?

[Vizionz]

zt the coder when he has time will probably be able to fixx the problem for ya just be patient

[rrokdoka]

i just wish it went in the bottom of the forums but either way i thank you for this great upload Zero Tolerance :)

I'll have a look at the cod myself guess I'll be able to remove that auto refresh..
Ow by the way
if ($vbulletin->options['shout_banned_perms'] == 2 && isBanned($vbulletin->userinfo))
{
$Shoutox = '';
}


Should be changed to:


if ($vbulletin->options['shout_banned_perms'] == 2 && isBanned($vbulletin->userinfo))
{
$Shoutbox = '';
}

hey mainframe,

you posted two times the same code ;)

[rrokdoka]

i know lol

[mainframe]

i know lol

There's a "b" missing in the word "shoutbox".. EDIT: I MADE IT BOLD SO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.. Guess the coder didn't see that either..
anyways I removed the auto update thing because it was updating every 10 seconds..
On my site that means 900 / 10 = 90 request per second which is a lot..

So if you have a big board I suggest you put a refresh button on their and remove automatic refreshes

if you run a dark board, how do you change the colors on this, or default color from black etc?

[edeab220]

Quick "problem": I just installed it on my test board and all it does is say "Loading..."

Did I do anything wrong?

[Billspaintball]

Damm I love these plugins/products. :D
About a 50 sec install :D

And thanks ZT, my members have been pestering me for a shoutbox for ages. :)

[catocom2]

It seems to work fine on 3.5 gold.....
The main thing I need to know is how can I pic which smilies to show, instead of it picking them randomly?

[Bounce]

I had the same problem. Go to shout.php en you see what your problem is.

[catocom2]

anybody?

Boofo - You sure you uploaded the new vbshout.php?

Blam - Uhm, i'll look into it :p

whitetigergrowl - It just randomly selects emoticons, if you have a decent amount it shouldn't display duplictayes, but if you have only a small handful it is likely it will. I'll force it to bypass this in the future so duplicate ones are not shown :)

- Zero Tolerance
i don't have [edit][delete][add settings] when i go to vbshout options in the general options control panel

Is anyone even supporting this anymore?

[JJR512]

I have looked into the issue with the Who's Online location error, and have come to the following conclusions.

There is nothing wrong with the code in the plugins from this hack that report the WOL locations. I have a few other hacks that include their own custom PHP files, and they all have plugins to the WOL system, and they all work fine. I've compared their WOL plugins to the WOL plugins from this hack, and aside from the filename and the text of the message, they are identical. The only difference between those hacks and this one is that this one actually has output from its external PHP file (vbshout.php) appear on the index.php page. The problem is that when you are on index.php, the WOL system thinks you are on vbshout.php, thus the plugin from this hack for WOL becomes active. So the only way to fix this problem, as far as I can figure out, is to find a way for index.php to make sure the WOL system knows it is index.php and not vbshout.php. I'll see what I can figure out.

[HC.]

WORKS GREAT
How are where is this info at?
Can admins/super moderators use special commands in the chat?
(Please refer to the thread on vBulletin.org for reference to the commands for now)
also how do you edit or delete a shout?

[Lizard King]

Is there any way to remove the Date and Time option before username in forumhome ?

[JJR512]

Is there any way to remove the Date and Time option before username in forumhome ?
Yes:

In the forumhome_vbshout_shout template, fine and remove this code:
[{$Shout['time']}]
That's it! :)

[spudor]

First time trying add a hack ,cant find Plugin System -> Manage Products -> [Add/Import Product] Where to look fo it??

[Lizard King]

Yes:

In the forumhome_vbshout_shout template, fine and remove this code:
[{$Shout['time']}]
That's it! :)

Thanks it worked. I couldn't check all the posts but is there a way to fix smilie problem ?
When I click smilies it shows the smilies and even when i click on it adds the smilie code but it is not working in iframe.

It's working fine for me, but I thought I'd note the following (I assume it's the same in all versions):

If you send a message before it's finished loading, you're unable to send any more messages, and things screw up. It should be disabled until it's ready.

[Andyrew]

Installed and working, but it's slow at loading is this normal. ??

to the action templates if you use it

[edeab220]

I had the same problem. Go to shout.php en you see what your problem is.
What am I supposed to be looking for? A few of my members are getting the "Loading..." error and I can't figure out what's wrong lol.

Thank you for the info. I'll just wait for the next version then.

[Brandon Sheley]

i have a small problem,, well actually 2, but the new one is this

www.locoforum.com i removed the code in forumhome_vbshout that took off the time,

i got the code form this thread,, if you don't know what i'm talking abotu i can get the post..

anyways if you look at my site, there is a space in between the users name and the shout..
how can i fix this ?

and my 2nd problem has been addressedwith no answer from my searching,
but how can we fix the who's online bug ?
it always says users are on the shoutbox.. and now it really does that i added vbshout to the portal page..

thx for the mod, and hopefully thx for some answers :)

-LM


*edit* i see a user with a longer name then mine posted on the shoutbox..
his post has now space..
would this cause all the rest of the post to be pushed out ?

[Billspaintball]

It took me forever to workout how to access the shoutbox archive and stats section.
For a while I was under the assumption that feature did not exist.

The link to it looks just like a plain heading, how about making a more obvious link?

A member of my forums has pointed out that this hack does not work with the Ignore feature. That is, he is ignoring a member, and can't see any of his posts, but he can see his shouts.

I mention this for informational purposes. I've come to realize that none of us should expect to get any more help with this hack from its author. As far as I can tell, Zero Tolerance hasn't posted in this thread since August 27, and the "support" checkbox is not ticked. I guess we can help each other, but it'd be nice to get help from the guy who should know this hack better than anyone else.

[Brandon Sheley]

it doesn't matter to me who helps.. lol
maybe a member has figured out the problems and can share the answer ;)

I know sometimes coders pick up abandoned projects. Would it be possible for somebody to do this (and would you please :) ). On top of the issue above, I'd really like to see a feature that would allow you to see "select" smiles, or maybe an option to show "all" or something like that. I also notice that the "random" option will quite often show the same smile 2 or 3 times sometimes.

It's an excellent shoutbox, and I'm happy with what I/we have, but those fixes/options would make it just that much more sweeter.

[JJR512]

I don't think I'm capable of taking over this hack. I wrote some pretty big hacks for vBulletin 2.0, like the original Weather hack and one of the early XML-news-parsing hacks, and some other smaller stuff. But I got out of it for a while, and I've only just recently gotten back into things. I'm starting off small and learning the new stuff and re-learning the old stuff. I don't know anything about how AJAX works, and that's a major part of this hack. I don't have any idea how to fix the major issue I'm complaining about, which is the inaccurate Who's Online. The smilies issue is probably pretty easy. But I'd feel more comfortable getting permission from Zero Tolerance first. Maybe I'll PM him and see if he has any intention of supporting this hack, what he thinks about someone else taking over, or maybe he's working on a new version of something. We'll see...

[KidneyBoy]

I know he released revised versions of a couple of his MODs today (Don't remember which, but I just remember his name). Anyway hopefully he'll update this puppy as well. In any case, I sure hope one way or another, this mod goes on, and at least somebody can support it/release bug fixes.

Like I said, even if it didn't get fixed, it's still excellent!

And JJR512: I wasn't meaning you specifically. Just any coder that is familiar with this stuff, and would be willing to at least attempt to get permission from ZT. Hopefully ZT will come back and there's no need for somebody to take over and get permission :)

[Wachtmeister]

I have a problem seeing all users into the shoutbox on WOL status. I've posted this into the "Shoutbox on all pages" Thread, but i think the problem could be into the main shoutbox ;)

Please read https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=786981&postcount=36

Maybe it is possible to change the WOL handling, that the WOL status is just updated, when users click "into" the shoutbox to view the details?

apart from the WOL issue that is......

[JJR512]

The WOL issue has been discussed here, especially by myself, and by Fleabag in his add-on of this hack to vBadvanced CMPS thread. There is no known solution for this issue yet. It may be possible, aparently, that the issue isn't with this vBshout per se, but is an underlying fundamental problem with the way vBulletin itself determines where you are.

It just keeps loading, but nothing is showing up...
It's working fine on Firefox though...

[dbembibre]

Any options to restrict img bbcode in shoutbox ??

[rb290]

its telling me Loading... on the shoutbox I dont know whats wrong with it

[rb290]

on Internet Explorer its telling me its Loading
on Firefox its saying Database error

[Devii]

Really like this shout box, had to uninstall it due to view errors when resizing a window in firefox, the table/cell would stay at a fixed width while the rest of the page would resize properly, or not resize at all and the page would remain at full width(width it was loaded at) until page refresh.

If there is a way to fix it, I would love to use it.

[Jinovich]

TWo requests :D

Anyway to disable [IMG] and maybe [QUOTE] codes from just the shoutbox but enable Vbcode, or just disable vbcode and enable smilies.

Also when you disable Vbcode and Smilies the censorship filter in the shoutbox also disables.

[TeaTree]

All I get is 'Loading..........'

How can I move the location of the shoutbox from let's say the top of the forumhome template to the bottom?

are you sure you have the format correctly?


i.e. 1,3,5,7,8

thats what it should look like.

[KarateKid]

I have the same problem a long time now :tired:

Same for me. Probably it has something to do with earlier installations of other shoutbox hacks?

[steadicamop]

I entered 1,3,5 - Unregistered / Not Logged In, Users Awaiting Email Confirmation and (COPPA) Users Awaiting Moderation - but as it turns out, if you're not logged in, you can't post anyway, so does this come under the classification of a conflict issue?

Found it, must be an issue with the setting for the options, you can only set it to 'Can view shoutbox and messages' or 'Cannot view shoutbox' - the last one 'Can view shoutbox, but not messages' throws back the error ... works fine now after changing from that option :D

alright I noticed all the past shouts are stored in the database. Is there a way to prune those stored shouts or could you make a feature to auto-prune any past shouts?

[Tobad]

I have looked around at other installs of vB shout, and its the same, is there a way to fix this?

Have the same issue on my site. My whole right block gets moved over and that adds the scroll bar on the bottom of the page. Once I hit F5, it goes back to normal.

Can't figure out how to fix that. For the time being I disabled it. Only happens with Firefox.

[mindfrost82]

One thing I noticed is that it loads all the smilies each time your forumhome is loaded.

I had it setup to load ALL my smilies, not just random ones. For some reason, it was loading 150 graphics on my forumhome.

This is fine on a high speed connection, but it caused it to load slow on lower-end connections. Plus, its a waste of bandwidth if someone never clicks on the smiley link.

So for now, I have the smiley button disabled.

[Bones_3DFC]

In my style manager I went to "forumhome_vbshout_archive_shout"
and replaced the code as not to include an edit or delete button.
Would be nice to someday have the code reflect the buttons for only administrator... But this is one AWESOME hack. Works like a chat! Really nice!
Thank you!

Definitely installed!

[BLazeD1]

How do you remove the smilie button all together?

[pguy]

Is there a way we can delete the shouts after 'X' days or say after 'X' Shouts ? In 4 days we've racked up 20K shouts and I shudder to think about the future carnage this can cause ;)

[mindcry]

when I go to vbshout.php

I get this Invalid SQL:

select s.*, u.username, u.usergroupid from shout s
left join user u on (u.userid = s.s_by)
order by s.sid desc limit 20;

MySQL Error : Table 'snowboar_vbtest.shout' doesn't exist

[majorj0nny]

this is the best shoutbox Ive seen ... its very good ZT...

Ive looked around for the answer to this but cant see anything so sorry if this has already been asked - but is there a way to remove the Today bit from the time stamp ? I found my way into the .php file and removed a line from there - at first it seemed to have worked - the time stamp was just [11:45pm] or whatever - but when I tried to post a message in the shoutbox it didnt post anything and on trying to post another message it came back saying posting in progress... obviously Id done something wrong :(

any ideas anyone - on how to remove the Today part ?

thanks in advance

[XFGHIA]

Hey im having a problem with this, it installed fine and everything, but in the shoutbox it just says Loading... the whole time and it doesnt accept my shouts when i enter a message

[kallelm]

Thanks ZT. We've added it to our forum and it was easy as pie to do. And then my stupid gene kicked in and I couldn't find the controls. My sanity returned and it is safe to say that I did find them and am very happy!

thank you for that tip , my shouts were also building up and was starting to get worried and could'nt find a way to delete them.

but turns out its so quick and easy

[dfdems]

The only bug I have noticed so far is it breaks the template slightly to the right in firefox sometimes, not always. Other than that it works great

[lordnex]

Ug. There is a permission problem with the shoutbox ZT.

Anyone with moderator abilities (not even just the moderator user category but even those who are moderators in on specified area) can edit everyone's shouts.
This sounds like a limited problem but I'm also using the "everyone can have their private message area" hack... which then makes everyone moderators in their own areas. Is there any way to make this so that only Admins can edit shouts?

[Devii]

I have an interesting idea for saving bandwidth on the shout box.

Idle throttling, so the longer a person does not type in a shoutbox, the longer the delay between refreshes are, capped at some value still, but it would help for those who may leave an index page open and goto work or something.

Adding the shoutbox added alot of bandwidth usage to my site, so I was thinking on howto reduce it. What do you think Zero?

OK i have alot of users having problems with the refresh
sometime the shouts freezes with them
also Firefox users having this problem more than IE users

any idea why ?!

[Bones_3DFC]

HTML is enabled in my box. Is that something I screwed up, a setting I missed or something that can be stopped?
Excellent Mod! Thank you.

[vktechnology]

To make text in ShoutBox smaller font do it by adding this
<font size="2">

go to this template name = forumhome_vbshout_shout

and add this code <font size="2">

####################################

or easy way is to delete everything in forumhome_vbshout_shout template

and copy and past this code in to it

<tr>
<td width="1%" style="white-space:nowrap" align="left" valign="top">
<font size="2">[{$Shout['time']}]
</font>
<if condition="!$Shout[s_me]">
<if condition="$Shout[s_by]">
<a href='member.php?{$session['sessionurl_q']}u={$Shout['s_by']}'>
</if><font size="2">{$Shout['username']}</font><if condition="$Shout[s_by]"></a></if><font size="2">:</font>

IE is the browser this works perfectly with...not safari, not firebobbins, or any other...lol

[aranthorn]

FYI:
If you collapse then expand the shoutbox, it resizes and eliminates the column width issue reported earlier. I'm having a look at the template to see if I can tweak it to eliminate that.

Excellent work, ZT. Easy install, works great.

[Swindont]

how would i do a /ban (username)
command? that would really help which only admins could use :D

[majorj0nny]

How would I do that?

I too have done this for my site ... go to your 'usergroups' - 'usergroups manager' in your admincp .... then make a note of the group numbers you dont want to view the shoutbox...

ie - unregistered/not logged in - id:1

then go to your vbshout settings in 'vbulletin options' - 'vbshout options' and in the sections called 'Banned Usergroups' add the id of the groups you wanna ban from the boards. ie - 1

if you have numerous groups you dont want to use the shoutbox put there all these numbers in separated with a comma... ie - 1,4,7 then Id suggest you change the next option 'Banned Permissions' to 'can not view shoutbox'.

[Rukas]

My users are reporting that recently, in the last few days, they are being forced to refresh after each shout they make. While this doesnt effect all users (nor me) it is a problem. They are using Firefox and IE, and it used to work fine for them and all of a sudden they all began to experiance the same problem.

It works fine for me in Firefox, so its not a browser related issue.

I have 3.5 gold and these are my 3 problems:

1) How do you make the text smaller? http://biblocality.com/forums
2) How do you decrease the width of the shoutbox?
3) How do you make so that "Currently Active Users" does not not always read "Viewing the Shoutbox" for everyone?

[zephy]

Can I make this Shoutbox appear on all standard forum pages?

Yes I assume that's a bug with the hack itself. When my members are viewing the forums homepage, it shows up as "Viewing The Shoutbox". Is there a fix to that please?

Great Hack thx, installed and nearly working fine.


2 Problems though.

Graphics like smilies are not showing, images ( img code ) are not shown only urls are working. Even though everything is set properly.

The reload of the shoutbox is far too often and brings up the traffic...how can i reduce the reloads? Esp. in firefox it is also looking anoying with every reload, its like a flackering of the monitor but only in the box.


ah, one thing else, when pruned via "/prune" all numbers of counters/shouts of the users ( who shouted are deleted as well.
Is there a possibility that those counts are remainung even after the shouts have been deleted?



Thx for any help!

Edit: 21.33

I found out how to work the smilies and graphics, but in myopinion its not good to make it the same variable as signature, now my users can use smilies and grpahics in their signatures what i have never allowed...

To fix the smilies, go to your vBulletin options -> User Profile Options and choose yes for Allow Smilies in Signatures, now you have smilies

Still the reload thing, any Help is appriciated...

[Valter]

Users can not delete their own shouts.

Is there any update on this product ZT?

Still the reload thing, any Help is appriciated...

Ok... here ya go...

Under "Styles & Templates >>> Style Manager" >>>

Forum Home Templates >> forumhome_vbshout

Find >>

setTimeout('requestShouts()', 10000)


Change Inline >>

10000 to Time in 1000/s

Hope this helps

This thing is awesome, but one thing I don't like is the font color selection. I'd rather only have available the colors that I want to be selected. This will keep people from selecting light colors to use on my white backgrounds. Any way to do this? Any help is appreciated.

Yes it helps, but what does that do?
I changed 10000 to 1000/s

Is it reloading still? Or just every 1000 seconds?
Sorry for that dumb question...

Sorry, Wolfgang..... this is how often it reloads and the number is seconds in 1000ths of a second... thus...

1000 = reloads every second
10000 = Every 10 Seconds (the default number)
30000 = Every 30 Seconds
60000 = Every min

Hope this is clearer..

Yes looking at the template, it should be possible... I'll have a look later when I'm in from work...

[Aeolian_X]

Thanks. I truly appreciate it.

[wolfgang2]

thank You BlackRabbit1971 for your help

So if i write:

setTimeout('requestShouts()', 1000/s)

It reloads every second

if i write:

setTimeout('requestShouts()', 60000/s)

it reloads every minute right?

if i would write:

setTimeout('requestShouts()', 120000/s)

sorry i have to ask so many times, but i got a really traffic problem...so i have to put it down to 2 minutes reloading or even more...

:nervous:

Almost there... but you have left the /s next to the values....

setTimeout('requestShouts()', 60000)

Should look like that.... for a reload every min...

setTimeout('requestShouts()', 120000)

And like that for 2 mins... ok

Just change the value in the line...

setTimeout('requestShouts()', 10000)

BR ;)

PS.. Always best to keep asking if ya not sure.. :)

[BlackRabbit1971]

Right then.... Aeolian... here goes...

I didn't go about finding how to change the default colour... that was way too annoying... but you can easily limit the colurs your members have a choice of...

Open "Plugin System" > "Plugin Manager" > "vBShout [Template Alteration]"

Find this section >>
$hex = array();
$hex[] = '0';
$hex[] = '3';
$hex[] = '6';
$hex[] = '9';
$hex[] = 'C';
$hex[] = 'F';

for ($a = 0; $a < 6; $a++)
{
for ($b = 0; $b < 6; $b++)
{
for ($c = 0; $c < 6; $c++)
{
$Options_DropDown['color_selector'][] = '#' . $hex[$a].$hex[$a].$hex[$b].$hex[$b].$hex[$c].$hex[$c];
}
}
}

Replace it with >>>$Options_DropDown['color_selector'][] = '#00FF00';
$Options_DropDown['color_selector'][] = '#FF0000';
$Options_DropDown['color_selector'][] = '#0000FF';

You can add, change or delete the values in the replace section to your requirements... They will appear in the order that you have them listed..

Go here Colour Picker (http://colors.tomaweb.com/), to find values for hex colours..

Also... I did a small hack in the same template a while back that displays the colour in the list instead of the colour hash values...

That works like a charm! Thanks a lot! That was a big help!

[Aeolian_X]

This thing is in dire need of a way to censor shouts.

[BlackRabbit1971]

Censor shouts?

[uzman59]

how do i add background https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

[Aeolian_X]

Yeah, censor the cursing in the shoutbox. My filters for the forum do not work in the shoutbox. Maybe I missed something though.

But i don't want users to use smilies in the signature (like you).
