lol i must say great codes in this piece of work lol Command Activation in admincp lol i shut mine off and you could still run commands in the shout box... so anyone have a fix for that? or is that another bug to be never fixed?

Just a question, in the template vBShout [Template Alteration] is it supposed to say Shoutox in this code

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

or should that be Shoutbox :)

divided_by_fear

12-23-2005, 03:24 PM

yeah i think it should be Shoutbox... but i dont use [Template Alteration] since i have vbadvanced

Great plugin, and works wonderfully. But, there are a couple of things:

When I go to edit long shouts (for example, "This is a really long shout I am doing in the shoutbox to see if it works alright"), I click Edit, but then all that shows up is the first part of the shout, like "This is a really long shout I am doing in th." Is there a way to fix this?

One of my members also noticed (and I checked as well) that in Opera, when you click the color drop-down menu, the colors don't show up (just the color code). Is there a way to fix this as well?

Just installed the plugin, works great. I was curious if there was anyway I could change the "Shoutbox" text, which links to the archive, to read "Spambox." Just curious since I recieved a number of requests heh.

Just on a side note... people might want to know this... it seems there is no way to stop html from being displayed.

I did the following to the function bbcodeparser

just add in htmlentities($text) where you see $text.

Down side is you wont be able to use html, up side is you wont be able to use html. I am sure it is easy enough to add it to the interface so it is an option but it should probably be disabled by most people anyway as it could lead to some very bad security issues like users embeding another iframe and getting your sessions values which would then allow them act as you and administer the forums as they want which would be bad.

EDIT:
I edited this response to link to my response with the actual code change in it. The code you need (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=861216#post861216)

Replace lines 114 - 126 (function bbcodeparser in vbshout.php)

function bbcodeparser($text = '')
{
global $vbulletin;

if ($vbulletin->options['shout_bbcode'])
{
return $vbulletin->vbshout_parse->parse(convert_url_to_bbcode($text), 'nonforum');
}
else
{
return $text;
}
}

with

function bbcodeparser($text = '')
{
global $vbulletin;

if ($vbulletin->options['shout_bbcode'])
{
return $vbulletin->vbshout_parse->parse(convert_url_to_bbcode(htmlentities($text)), 'nonforum');
}
else
{
return htmlentities($text);
}
}

What this does is it stops the html from being rendered.

I am not sure how vB normally handles it but this is a quick fix at least.

This shoutbox is great, thank you very much. However my members have one problem with it: editing shouts.

It would seem when one goes to edit a shout when you press the edit button the text box appears but only with 50 characters and the rest of the shout is deleted, disappears, it just doesn't exsist anymore. Of course, this is quite annoying should one want to edit a large shout.

Is there anyway around this?

Cool mod... EZ to install and run... had a problem tho in ACP -> vbShout in that when I tried to position the shoutbox under 'what's going on' nothing showed up, so I took the advice of earlier posts and manually placed $Shoutbox where I wanted.

I did some revisions to the timestamp tho, here's the result:

function buildTime($time = TIMENOW)
{
global $vbulletin;

$date = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $time, $vbulletin->options['yestoday']);
$date = strtolower($date);

$time = vbdate($vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $time, $vbulletin->options['yestoday']);

$result = "Posted: ".$date." @ ".$time;

return $result;
}

To me it looks a little better than the default :P

BTW if you want to change the height of the box you should use the vbShout option under VB Options in Admin Control Panel.

Thanks!

davidw

01-07-2006, 11:58 AM

The reason why the bandwidth increases is when members (even as little as 1) leave the computer without logging out and the page is open to a page that has the shout on it. I've had a couple times where one or two of my members left, but left the page open and the page was the index (where the shout resides - seen the most).

I would like to figure out a way that it ONLY refreshes when a post is made on the shout, rather than ever x amount of time. Click shout - it does a refresh about 1 second after the shout is made. This would save tremendous amounts of refreshing, especially for inactivity. :P

Since installing this, I get 1 to 3 mysql errors a day. Today I can't access my forums apparently from this error. Is there something I can tweak, or request my host to increase? I only see 8 to 20 users on the message board at any one time. I've had 26295 hits on vbshout for 304,188 KB. As someone mentioned above, my bandwith has gone up signifcantly since installing this hack last week. I'm well with in my limits, but at this rate, I'll be 25% over my highest month in the last 6 months. Possible it could be those 800 smilies available, But I'm still concerned about the mysql connection error.

It's really annoying. Images / smilies work in Firefox, but in IE, they show for a second, then disappear. This didn't used to happen in the old version of the vbShout, and as much as I want to uninstall this and put the old one back up, the old version didn't have an archive.

@ Ohio: I noticed when I put the full url in the templates it started doing that. If you've modified the url's to vbshout.php in the templates, you might want to change them to an internal reference. i.e. /forum/vbshout.php vs http://www.myforum.com/forum/vbshout.php. Hope that helps.

say what?

I haven't edited any urls. I just followed the instructions that came with it. The shoutbox is on my forum at http://exquisitelyerotic.net/forums

It's not a chat, it's a shoutbox, Replicators ;)

I would like to have the archive be pruned so that only shouts from the last 24 hours are saved. Running a cron every hour or so. Cause it's gonna be a huge table if the box is intensively used.
But it would be nice if the shoutstatisics are saved (total shouts, shouts per member etc)

I agree, phpMyAdmin shows nearly 1000 in the past week. I suppose I could empty the table every week or so or manually delete entries over a few days old. But what a hassle.

Ohiosweetheart

01-15-2006, 01:02 PM

The posistioning of the shoutbox is done by searching for textstrings in the Forumhome template and adding the $shoutbox variable to them.

For example: If you set the box to be under the "What's going on" box, the script will look for the sting "" and put the shoutbox under it.
If you've edited your templates in one or more styles and removed that line, the shoutbox will not appear.

S@NL.... below is the FORUMHOME template code for one of the styles that the shoutbox DOES show up in... and i can't find a shoutbox string in there anywhere. Yet the shoutbox does show up in this style, and my SB is set under the Nav bar

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">

Ohiosweetheart, you won't find the $shoutbox in your forumhome template.
It is added by the plugin, everytime you open the forumhome page.

If you look at the code of the plugin "vBShout [Template Alteration]" in your admincp you will see what textstrings are used to position the box.

Bashy, I think the shoutbox will appear wherever you put $shoutbox in your templates.

S@NL - BlackBik

01-16-2006, 10:09 AM

Sure there is.
In the ACP (vBulletin Options - > vBShout Options) you can specify what usergroups can NOT use the shoutbox (Banned Usergroups). I guess the "Guests" usergroup (mostly usergroupID = 1) is also included in that field. Just remove that group and your guests can use the box.

A quote from one of our members on our board:

OK, I've had one window open on the shoutbox since it's been working earlier today... and I was just in task manager and noticed that I was using 1.35 gig of virtual memory.

As soon as I closed the window that the shoutbox was open in it dumped it all... open it up again and I'm watching it slowly climb up again.

It would seem that there's some kind of huge memory leak with this new shoutbox... I've never seen that kind of memory usage before..

I also had a "low memory" message on my machine (running a gig of ram) after having the shoutbox open for a while but I just dismissed it and didn't think any further about it.

Is anyone else seeing this or have I done something wrong in my install?

GrabAssGirl

01-16-2006, 11:24 AM

Guess there isn't a way to give the members their own default colors/font, huh.... I would like it to be so they chose their own colors and it holds that for them instead of having to redo the color every time they wish to use it.

Is there a way to do that?

crustymanmeat

01-16-2006, 07:21 PM

I have installed the shoutbox but i keep getting this error:

Where is coding to make the "Shoutbox" header go from CENTER align to LEFT align? The CENTER align throws off my entire page.

S@NL - BlackBik

01-16-2006, 09:55 PM

Where is coding to make the "Shoutbox" header go from CENTER align to LEFT align? The CENTER align throws off my entire page.

That one is easy.
Go to your AdminCP and go to Edit Templates.
Open the Forumhome templates and then edit the forumhome_vbshout template.
The first table you see has "align=center". Change that to right or left and you're fine :)

The rest of these questions I can't answer. I'm not a coder and not the author of this hack ;)

Was he a firefox user?

Firefox suffers from a bad memory leak in 1.5 and activity increases it faster, especially on a 10 second loop like this shoutbox is.

OK, probably a daft question but if I put this on a template that is used to generate custom pages for our members..... and two people or more are holding conversations on different pages.... will the conversations remain seperate ?

Or to put it another way.... if I put this on lots of pages rather than just the home page would the conversations stay seperate ?

What code needs to be changed to completely remove the timestamp from before each shout?

In template template name="forumhome_vbshout_archive_shout I removed
<span style='float:right'>{$Shout['time']}</span>

and IN template name="forumhome_vbshout_shout I removed [{$Shout['time']}]

If you wish to just remove it from the forums and leave it in archives just remove it from the forumhome_vbshout_shout template that works to..

Vbshout
Effective immediately any client using vbshout with vbulletin needs to turn it off. We have noticed in the last week that this is killing numerous servers. Seems the script has been written with bad code.

If we find it on the server we will kill it.

I don't have problems with it at all sweetie.. been running it for quite a while. In fact, my host has implemented the sb on their customer page so that we can discuss stuff... me thinks your host is having issues and wants to blame it on the sb.

I can 100% concur that on shared servers at least, that this is a killer. You may not notice it right away, but the more shouts that amass...the worse that its guaranteed to get. On a dedicated server it may not be bad...but on shared ones...even good shared ones...its a real server killer.

that happened with my site too, when I first put it on there. But once the novelty wears off, they go back to the threads and use the shoutbox to yak a little.

I think it's very neat for those who are in a hurry and don't really have time to post, but want to drop in to say Hello. That's mostly what my members use ours for.

Go to you're AdminCP and open Vbulletin Options -> Vbulletin Options.

After searching this thread for the millionth time, I still couldn't find a fix... It's the safari bug where it's stretched out to almost the whole page.

I'm using OSX and checked Safari. It's working when I'm logged in and only balloons as an unregistered for me. Maybe this can help narrow in on the problem. If I can figure it out, I'll post what I did.

I also checked it on Internet Explorer for Mac OSX. Per usual (with that ancient browser) it wouldn't even load and knocked the page out to kingdom come. That browser is awful with everything.

All does look and works great with this hack and Firefox :up: (my main of course)

Ok, I've tried doing a search, and searching this thread and with no luck and after sifting (over a two-day period) nearly 1200 posts and going through nearly 80 pages, I've not seen the problem I face (unless I overlooked it). Before I could live with it, but now its more of an annoyance.

Does anyone know how to correct the issue with special characters? { <, >, ", etc.}
When someone shouts with a special character, it displays the > or < or whatever the html equivelant is. Given enough time I may find a solution, but I wanted to know if someone has already encountered this and their solution? Thanks!

Hi peeps

How can i make this viewable when browsing the forums please?

S@NL - BlackBik

01-24-2006, 06:05 PM

I don't exactly know what you mean?
You could just open a seperate window / tab for your homepage with shoutbox and browse the forums in a other window / tab ;)

The shoutbox is shown by putting the variable $shoutbox in a template.
I don't know if it works on other page to, though.

bashy

01-24-2006, 06:12 PM

having another browser open is defeating the object slightly, it would work for me as i have a dual moniotr setup but my other staff dont have such luxuries.... therefore having another browser open they would still have to keep checking it, same as they do now, but if it was shown all the time throught the forum then it would be noticed and be easily read and used,

I will try the variable though, thanks

bashy

01-24-2006, 06:14 PM

just tried the $shoutbox and it is not found on any of my templates anywhere...

The only places where the word shoutbox is, is in its own templates :(

Dead end there im afraid

S@NL - BlackBik

01-24-2006, 06:26 PM

Nope it's not :)
It's true that no template is edited by the hack.
However, in the code there is a replacement for a certain textphrase in the forumhome-template and $shoutbox is put underneath. What textphrase is used, depends on where you position the shoutbox in your admincp.
It's mentioned somewhere in this thread how it works exactly a couple of pages back, try searching this thread ;)

When you manualy put $shoutbox in a template, than it will appear where you put this variable. Just try it :)

bashy

01-24-2006, 07:26 PM

I did try that, i put it in forumhome i think it was but nothing changed!

Ohiosweetheart

01-24-2006, 08:31 PM

dont get me wrong, the shoutbox works fin on the forum index (staff only)
So yes i did upload the vbshout.php to my forum root directory...

I just wanted it to show whilst browsing the forum is all would be great if its possible.

In other words you want to see the shoutbox on every page? Easy... there's a hack for that. Scroll up, it's listed to the side of the top post on every page of this thread :)

Muderman24

01-24-2006, 08:33 PM

This may be weird, but when i go to view "currently active users" instead of it saying viewing forums index it says viewing shoutbox.

Is that normal and is there anyway to change it back without uninstall the shoutbox? I know it's minor but the minor things sometimes bug me.

S@NL - BlackBik

01-24-2006, 08:43 PM

I believe it says "Viewing Shoutbox" when the user is viewing the Shoutbox Archive.
That phrase is completely valid ;)

If you really want to change it, than I guess you can change the phrase in the product XML and reinstall (with overwrite).

My shoutbox is refreshing and jumping all over the place! When members are typing in the text line, it'll refresh and blink out and they lose what they're typing and have to start all over again. This is happening several times per minute.
It's extremely frustrating... has anyone else had this problem and what did you do to fix it?

I think it might be a good idea to stop GET and POST shouldbox sends after a non-active period, as well as when the shoutbox is minimised. Should save some bandwidth.
I'm concerned if this script will stay constantly connected to the database and taxing server resources. Any one have know if this is the case?

Ohiosweetheart

01-27-2006, 01:43 AM

Ok I posted about this somewhere else and was told it was addressed in THIS thread, but I can't seem to find it so.... here goes again, I guess...

I'm admin on my forum and I have my options set to be able to view members, exact location on the forum, ip addresses etc. However.. ONLY the past 2 days, when I click on the currently active users link and view who's online... it shows every single member viewing the shoutbox. Even me, and I'm not! No matter how many times I reload the page, it doesn't change.

Is this a glitch somewhere? ANyone know what I might be able to do?
thanks for your help

Go to your ACP, then:

Select 'vbshout.xml' from your computer and then press 'Import'

i would redo this first and set Allow Overwrite to yes then click import,just a thought

Cheers for any help ; :squareeyed:

You have a setting in your admincp where you can exclude groups from using the shoutbox.
admincp -> vbulletin options -> vbulletin options -> scroll down to vbshout options

I just fixed an error I was getting that some others were getting too...

If you get this error: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /vbshout.php on line 288

then do the following (it worked for me anyway)

Find in vbshout.php:
if ($vbulletin->options['shout_messages_order'])

{
$Output = array_reverse($Output);
}
Below, add:

if (isBanned($vbulletin->userinfo) && $vbulletin->options['shout_banned_perms'] > 0)

{
echo '<b>Sorry, you are currently banned from the shoutbox</b>';
exit(); }

I am under no circumstances saying this code modification will work in your forum environment, nor saying it is the magical fix.

I don't exactly know if it is posted allready, but I fixed the little bug that prevented users to edit or delete their own shouts.

In vbshout.php find:
if ($Shout['sid'] != $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] && !can_moderate())
and replace it by
if ($Shout['s_by'] != $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] && !can_moderate())
This line is found twice in the code. Once for editing and once for deleting a shout.

I'm using OSX and checked Safari. It's working when I'm logged in and only balloons as an unregistered for me. Maybe this can help narrow in on the problem. If I can figure it out, I'll post what I did.

I also checked it on Internet Explorer for Mac OSX. Per usual (with that ancient browser) it wouldn't even load and knocked the page out to kingdom come. That browser is awful with everything.

All does look and works great with this hack and Firefox :up: (my main of course)
How hard would it be to start the shoutbox minimized for safari users? I'm thinking pretty hard...

You may also want to add

'chat' => array('GENERIC_SHELL',
'forumhome_vbshout',
),

to the action templates if you use it
I want the shoutbox on both the forum and on a seperate page. After searching long and hard, this (quoted) is the only post I see that offers a solution.

I'm only marginally technical, so can someone please verify that this will work for my needs, or how I can use it for my needs.

I made a autoprune function for vBshout.
Just download the attached file and put in the /includes/cron directory.
Then make a new scheduled task (see attached jpg).
I run it every night at 3 o clock but offcourse your free to run it more often than that.

What is does: It will delete all shouts that are older than 24 hours.
This way you will allways have an archive that's holds no shouts that are older than two days.
You can alter the deletion time in the php by altering the "(TIMENOW - (60 * 60 * 24)" statement.

Enjoy :)

instead of banning certain usergroups, is there a way to ban users who are NOT part of certain usergroups?

all of the users on our forum are a 'registered user'. Then as they progress we vote them into a 'members' section with adition rooms they can access, but to do this we make the member functionality a secondary usergroup (ie they are still a primary 'registered user')

What I want is to only allow our 'members' to ahve acces to the shout box. Would this be possible?

I'm thinking it would be easy to chnage the logic in the code, but i thought I'd ask here first before I dig into it.

thanks

Disabling auto refresh and adding a 'refresh' button

Go to style manager, and edit (or customize) the template forumhome_vbshout

Find text:
<input type="submit" value="Shout" class="button" />
And add immediately BELOW it:
<input type='button' class='button' value='Refresh' onclick='requestShouts()' />
The code must go above the 'if condition' code.
This line occurs twice - add the new button to both.

THEN

Find the text:
setTimeout('requestShouts()', 10000)
And comment it out by enclosing it with /* and */ like so:
/* setTimeout('requestShouts()', 10000) */
You can also delete the line entirely.

The shoutbox will now only refresh if you a) Submit a shout, or b) hit the 'refresh' button.

Aftermath, there isn't :)
Check the plugincode of the vbshout plugin at the forumhome_complete hook.
Scroll all the way down, and you'll see how ZT positions the shoutbox.
He substitutes a text in the forumhome template by that text plus $shoutbox.
This way, no template alterations are necessary.
