I need to see if there's a way to make it so that the shout box doesn't load unless a user wants it to, ie has to click it to open it perhaps. I put it one every page and now the dial-up users are complaining about long load times. I really don't want to un-do that and have it just on the index. TIA

[LBSources]

Hi ZT

How can i stop it from creating a horizontal bar and have it word wrap please?
Also, has a way been worked out where its possible to have 2 shoutboxes yet?
2 shoutboxes? wow that would kill resources bashy ..its already a hog

Lenny

[bashy]

I aint noticed any great loss with it as yet, although its only used for staff only atm..

Thats why i want another 1 for the members
My server load is about 0.85% with this one running

2 shoutboxes? wow that would kill resources bashy ..its already a hog

Lenny

[forumsoup.com]

Adding vShout on all pages... Is that a good idea? How does that work? Does each page have a different chat room or is it all the same?

[bashy]

Hopefully all the same...
There is another hack out that does this but it nealry killed me lol
things went tLts up :(

So i am hoping for an easier way

[tjad]

This one is really easy to install. I've blown things up before and managed to get this one installed in 2 min.

[trigon]

nothing happened after i installed the plug-ins....
and upload the file...

can u tell me whats wrong?

installed without probs, thx for this wonderfull hack.

[Big_Ern]

any idea how to change the Banned usergroups to a Include usergroups?



does anyone have an idea if this will work?

we want to use this in our "members" room only

so we need thit "include" user groups that can use the shout box rather then "exclude" them

[Muderman24]

Is there a way to set certain usergroups to be able to edit and/or delete shouts or certain members?

[forumsoup.com]

I put this on my site, love it, and clicked installed. Thanks!

My members seem to have a problem with the shouts over flowing the bix if using IE or AOL.

Any ideas?

[vbreal]

is there a way to require a certain amount of post before peeps can use the shoutbox. i swear this thing has taken over ha ha

[itorrents]

Don't think I could have a forum without this :) so thank you kindly.

[bondjetta]

Hey Zero...i'm running Dynamic Forum Home Announcements and vBShout is showing up ABOVE those. DFHA requires template edits of Forum Home...but vBShout doesn't :\ How can i edit vBShout so that it'll appear UNDER the DFHA? I'm trying to find where in your XML you're telling the plugin where to load...w/o much luck so far. :)

Can you give me a hint? ;)

[Luggruff]

how do I change the "Shout" "clear" "smilies" "B" "U" "I" to images instead of buttons? or do you have a nice and quick css mod for them? (as it looks you have used!) Gets so ugly with windows regular buttons..

EDIT: Fixed lol.. was implemented in the styles.. of course -_- .buttons

[cuphongle]

how would i hide this from the guests?

[Tulsa]

put this access group (1) in the banned section of the admin control panel vbulletin options/vbshout options then list the banned group as cannot view the shoutbox in the drop down.

[melodiq]

is there a way to add the auto refresh back with this latest version???

[Luggruff]

It does "auto refresh".. just like an IM.

Is it possible to replace the smilie button with the smilie popup you get when u click on more smilies in the post reply form

[Snake]

How can I remove smilies on the forums homepage along with the button? I think it slows down the server a lot.

[Luggruff]

How can I remove smilies on the forums homepage along with the button? I think it slows down the server a lot.

easy way: put <!-- --> tags around the button in the template: forumhome_vbshout

[Snake]

And where do I place that exactly?

[Luggruff]

And where do I place that exactly?

adminCP -> styles and templates -> style manager -> edit templates -> forumhome templates -> forumhome_vBshout

Find:

<input type='button' class='button' value='Smilies' onclick='sb_Smilies(this)' />

replace with:

<!-- <input type='button' class='button' value='Smilies' onclick='sb_Smilies(this)' /> -->

now the smilies button is invisible

[Snake]

Wow thank you.

I'm working on a Safari fix. Currently, I have it fixed but need to work out some bugs with the fix. I'll update tomorrow with the fix, probably.

/fixxy fixxy fixxy


EDIT:

Okay, I had some extra time on my hands and I have my board up and running with it fine (http://forums.advancedmn.com/index.php)


Here's how to fix it.

In your Admin panel
Styles & Templates -> Style Manager ->Click the drop down menu next to your style -> Select 'Main CSS" and click Go

At the very bottom, you'll see a box for "Additional CSS Definitions." Paste the following code in there:
/* *****Safari Fix****/
.clearfix:after {
content: ".";
display: block;
height: 0;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
}

/* Hides from IE-mac \*/
* html .clearfix {height: 1%;}
/* End hide from IE-mac */

/****** End Safari Fix ****/

Now, go to your Style Manager and find the forumhome_vbshout template. Open it up, and find the line...

<div id="vbshout" style="overflow:auto;height:{$vboptions['shout_box_height']}px;width:100%;">

</div>

Just before that segment, place this...

<div class="clearfix">

and just after that segment, put...

</div>

Should work fine for Safari users now.

[SnickersTK]

ok, this just confuses me, I have version 3.5.3 and installed it yesterday.

Installed this one 2 minutes ago and did exactly as guide told me.

It is not showing up on my site, doesn't matter where I look for it, even if I check source, there is no sign of it being there.

HELP ME!

[Ragnarok]

I downloaded it from the attachment, but apparently it's only version 1.6?

I noticed something wasn't working when I tried to add on the "vBShout on all pages!" plugin and everything broke, and looking around it seems version 1.6 is what I've got

I took off the "vb shout on all pages". it's very buggy. Broke my shoutbox and had my entire forum all discombobulated. Once I removed it, everything was fine.

[Ohiosweetheart]

Is there a way to hide the sb from guests... anyone except registered users?

[gtsch]

I'm not so great with this stuff, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I uploaded the file to my forum's directory, and no matter what I do VB can' find it. Am I just an idiot, or am I missing something here?

[TeaTree]

I love this hack-Easy to install,works brilliantly and no problems! Thanks

[Ragnarok]

That one I can answer. In your vBShout options, set your banned usergroups to include all usergroups you do not wish to use the shoutbox, and set your banned permissions to "Can not view the shoutbox"

Thanks for the info about vBShout on all pages!

[mrcrx]

I am having a problem with banning a user from the shoutbox. I put there name in but they are still able to see the shout box and shout in it. For banned users I have it set so they shouldnt see it at all. any help on this issue?

It's because you write his/her userNAME. It says write the user's userID
To get a users id: search his/hers name in the adminCP and you'll see the ID at the top, to the right of the users name.
Like this:
User: Luggruff (id: 1)

[mrcrx]

Thank you very much.

[mrcrx]

Is there a way to prevent old shouts from being stored. Or removing them without people loosing there shoutbox count. I have 80,000 shouts in a very short period of time.

[Snake]

Well you can just use the prune command?

[vbreal]

is there a way to make people post a certain amount of post before they can use the shoutbox every 24 hours

[Titania]

Awesome ZT :D Ten thumbs up...works great :D

[mrcrx]

Well you can just use the prune command?

the last time I did that it got rid of everyones shout count. people really got upset.

[S@NL - BlackBik]

At the moment you can't prune without losing the shout counts.....
The counts are made in the shout databasetable. If you empty that, the shouts are gone and the result will be 0 shouts for everybody.

[Big_Ern]

How do I change he name of the button to read something differnent the shout

[tipoboy]

ZT,

:) The shoutbox is great, but I want to make it a seperate page rather than using forums for it :) (Hope you dont mind me posting here)

You may also want to add

),

to the action templates if you use it

i would like to have the shoutbox in a page of it's own. i have added the code above to my vbshout.php template the thing is, i can get the shoutbox in its own window (http://scottishwheelnut.co.uk/forum/vbshout.php?do=chat? which is great but its still on my forum home(http://http://scottishwheelnut.co.uk). is there a way i can remove or hide it from the forum home without disrupting it from the window.

any help here would be gratefully appreciated

[S@NL - BlackBik]

How do I change he name of the button to read something differnent the shout

Just change the phrase "vbshout_shout" to a term that's at your liking :)

[Crusher77]

This is some awesome hack :D Gr8 work m8!

I think there is. It's a bit blunt, but it might work.

Maybe just disableing the plugin "vBShout [Template Alteration]" will do the trick.
If not, try this:

Open the plugin "vBShout [Template Alteration]". At the bottom, you'll find the conditions that place the shoutbox at your forumhome. Just change the condition there.

Example: if you have the shoutbox under your navbar change:
$Position = '$navbar';
to
$Position = 'yadayada';

That way the script cannot find the text after which it has to place the shoutbox and the shoutbox will not be visible.
I didn't test it, but i'm pretty sure that will work ;)

cheers mate exactly what i was looking for

thanks again

[username12]

Ok... here ya go...



Hope this helps

Thanks BlackRabbit. Took me 50 pages to find what I was looking for. Hopefully this will turn this thing into less of a chatroom for me.

Edit: doesn't seem to work for me, though. I'm gonna try the refresh button instead.

[leeman]

Sorry to be repeating my self Zero....
But do you have any plans on trying to make it possible to use the shoutbox as a popup ... So you can have it beside your browser and still be able to chat and post.

then disable your plugin using your admincp=>plugin system=>manage products

then add this link to your nav bar "http://yoursitename.com/forum/vbshout.php?do=chat" target="new"

this will make the shoutbox pop up on a seperate page

hope this works and thanks again to mtha + S@NL - BlackBik for helping me do this

sorry if this post is a bit vague i'm quite new here myself and havent really helped a lot of people

I only have forumhome_vbshout and I can't find // Start Page Output in that one ...

[Megareus Rex]

Two questions:

1: Is there a way to reduce the size of the shout display text? The current text (at normal size) is bigger than I'd like.

2: An amateur html question, but...how can ?I left justify the title part of the shoutbox? Every other category-type header on the main page is left justed, so I'd like the shoutbox to be as well.

Thanks in advance for any help.

[vbreal]

is there a way to make people post a certain amount of post before they can use the shoutbox every 24 hours

anyone know if there is anything available like this

[S@NL - BlackBik]

1: Is there a way to reduce the size of the shout display text? The current text (at normal size) is bigger than I'd like.
Yes, replace the "forumhome_vbshout_shout" template with this code:

<tr>
<td width="1%" style="white-space:nowrap" align="left" valign="top" class="smallfont">
[{$Shout['time']}]
<if condition="!$Shout[s_me]">
<if condition="$Shout[s_by]">
<a href='member.php?{$session['sessionurl_q']}u={$Shout['s_by']}'>
</if>{$Shout['username']}<if condition="$Shout[s_by]"></a></if>:
</if>
</td>
<td width="100%" align="left" class="smallfont">
<if condition="!$Shout[s_me]">
{$Shout['s_shout']}
<else />
<span class='highlight'>
*{$Shout['username']} {$Shout['s_shout']}*
</span>
</if>
</td>
</tr>
(I added class="smallfont" to the td tags)

2: An amateur html question, but...how can ?I left justify the title part of the shoutbox? Every other category-type header on the main page is left justed, so I'd like the shoutbox to be as well.
Yep, that's also possible:
Open the template "forumhome_vbshout" and find this code:
<td class="tcat" align="center">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_vbshout')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_vbshout" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_vbshout].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>

[S@NL - BlackBik]

anyone know if there is anything available like this

Nope, i haven't seen that arround yet.

[S@NL - BlackBik]

I only have forumhome_vbshout and I can't find // Start Page Output in that one ...

It's not in the template, but it's in the vbshout.php file on your server ;)

Is there a way to set certain usergroups to be able to edit and/or delete shouts or certain members?

[quote=leeman] sorryb to be repeting myself zero.....

i did this only last night with my forum, go to the php template for vbshout and find the following:

after that add this:

then disable your plugin using your admincp=>plugin system=>manage products

then add this link to your nav bar "http://yoursitename.com/forum/vbshout.php?do=chat" target="new"

this will make the shoutbox pop up on a seperate page

hope this works and thanks again to mtha + S@NL - BlackBik for helping me do this

sorry if this post is a bit vague i'm quite new here myself and havent really helped a lot of people

Neat !
But how would I get only the shoutbox, and not the entire enviroment?
Don't want all that in a popup :p

[Megareus Rex]

Yes, replace the "forumhome_vbshout_shout" template with this code:

<tr>
<td width="1%" style="white-space:nowrap" align="left" valign="top" class="smallfont">
[{$Shout['time']}]
<if condition="!$Shout[s_me]">
<if condition="$Shout[s_by]">
<a href='member.php?{$session['sessionurl_q']}u={$Shout['s_by']}'>
</if>{$Shout['username']}<if condition="$Shout[s_by]"></a></if>:
</if>
</td>
<td width="100%" align="left" class="smallfont">
<if condition="!$Shout[s_me]">
{$Shout['s_shout']}
<else />
<span class='highlight'>
*{$Shout['username']} {$Shout['s_shout']}*
</span>
</if>
</td>
</tr>
(I added class="smallfont" to the td tags)


Yep, that's also possible:
Open the template "forumhome_vbshout" and find this code:
<td class="tcat" align="center">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_vbshout')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_vbshout" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_vbshout].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>

and replace it by:
<td class="tcat" align="left">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_vbshout')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_vbshout" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_vbshout].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>

not too sure to be honest, as i said before i mearly used mtha's hack and S@NL - BlackBik helped me with a problem i had if you find out let me know as i might be interested too

[leeman]

It's not in the template, but it's in the vbshout.php file on your server ;)


Ooops .... :o

[Ohiosweetheart]

That one I can answer. In your vBShout options, set your banned usergroups to include all usergroups you do not wish to use the shoutbox, and set your banned permissions to "Can not view the shoutbox"

Thanks for the info about vBShout on all pages!

thank you sweetie!

[QUOTE=Luggruff]

well, the thing is, it's no different from JUST diabling the plugin, and JUST add a link with a content like this:

<a href="#" onclick="window.open('http://www.yourdomain.com/vbshout.php?do=chat','buddylist','statusbar=no,men ubar=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,wi dth=600,height=500'); return false;">Shoutbox</a>

does the same
(well maybe not the link aim but it's fairly the same.)

[Za4a Tuner]

Hello @ all,
i've found a "bug" @ the Shoutbox.

If an Admin does Edit a Shout -> everything is OK!

If an User wants to edit his shout (.../vbshout.php?do=archive),
he can do the changes ->
but the changes are not shown in the Showbox.
If the User returns to the Archiv,
it seems like no changes have been done!

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

[vbreal]

Nope, i haven't seen that arround yet.


whew,

thanks

[---MAD---]

does this work with vbulletin 3.5.3?

when i ban a usergroup from viewing the shoutboc, they are getting this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: isbanned() in /home/SITE/public_html/forum/global.php(349) : eval()'d code on line 112

[lucky64]

Awesome hack, just installed, worked perfectly, including the 'who's shouting' hack addon.

Any chance of being able to control what vbcode can be used?

I don't want html, or img for example, but do want smilies..

How about a way to adjust the shoutbox size, from the users end?

[username12]

Any way to make it so mods can't edit people's shouts? I actually don't even know how they're doing it, but I'd like to restrict it to admins only (or nobody).

[lucky64]

If you want to have shoutbox on all forumdisplay pages:

1) Change the hook location for 'vBShout [Template Alteration]' to: forumdisplay_complete

2) Edit the plugin code for 'vBShout [Template Alteration]'

Find: '$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace($Position, $Position . ' $Shoutbox', $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']);'

Replace it with:

$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY'] = str_replace('$navbar', '$navbar' . ' $Shoutbox', $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY']);

This is a quick and dirty hack. The shoutbox will only show up under navbar!

3) If you want the shoutbox to show up only in certain forums:

a. add
if ($forumid ==13)
{

In the beginning of the above plugin. 13 is the forum ID you want the shoutbox to show.

b. add
}

in the end of the code.

Any way to get it so it displays at the bottom as opposed ot the top? I wanted to get the shoutbox on the forum home, and in one of my subforums at the bottom.

Does anyone know any vbshout codes such as /me ?

Thanks:D

[furst]

Is it possible to display the same shoutbox on two different sites?

[username12]

I was concerned about this originally, but my forum activity has actually increased since I installed it. Despite a few thousand shouts a day, people are discussing the features and going to check them out. Some people are slowing down in posting, but it seems to be helping overall so far. Server loads haven't been impacted at all.

[eNforce]

I'm trying to set this up with eBux/eStore so members can buy a secondary usergroup to view the shoutbox.

I enter every single usergroup into the banned area except for a custom usergroup setup to be able to view the shoutbox, well even if a user is in this custom group their primary usergroup overides the custom so the the shoutbox is still not viewable.

Is there a way around this?

[SHD Born2Fight]

Thank you for this great hack!

But one problem: Opera 9 Beta Users cant scroll in the Shoutbox :surprised:

[VBUsers]

[DeathMONGER]

two ideas for it:

an in-thread abilty to 'advertise post'. it would be a little button in a thread taht, when clicked, auto enters a message into the shoutbox saying like "/me suggests checking out thread <Thread Title>{/url], by [url="author's profile"]<Author> (thread location)


there also needs to be a way to disable the million IRC chat things such as <blink> and /me and everything else from the public. its so obnoxious. tymuch

[Rickie3]

i have a question i have the shoutbox on the main forum index page,what i was wondering i have hidden private forums and a few of my members have requested a private shout box under that private forum is this possiable to do?so i what i'm asking can i have a public shoutbox for all members as well as a private shoutbox for hidden forums

[CoreIssue]

This may have been asked a bunch, but there are just too many posts to dig through.

We have a lot of smilies. Is there any way to have a more smilies function rather than rotating through them randomly?

Thanks!

How do you make the vbshout box on a totally different page?

[CommunityZ]

Is it possible to set the shoutbox didn't appear to guest/visitor and how?

[cOuNtErFiET]

yea in the options put in the usergroups that you want banned from it? i did that on my site and i think that worked they can't see it

[lucky64]

Shortly after installing this, I noticed the birthdays from the forum home dissapeared...

I tried disabling the plugin, but it's still not coming back.

My users told me that they were still there after the shoutbox was installed, but dissapeared a day or so after..

[Drewish]

Some kids were playing with the shoutbox on my forum. One of them gave one of those message boxes that never go away no matter how many times you press "ok." Another one redirected the whole site to lemonparty.org via. javascript. A final person was able to modify the entire main page to the contents of lemonparty.org. This is very insulting, and although I've pruned those users, and banned them from the forum/shoutbox, It would be nice to prevent something like that from happening again....

[DWard]

I am not sure if it is just me, but unless I disable the shoutbox, I get the error below appear at the top of users profile pages etc...

You need to find your vbshout.php file that you uploaded during installation. Once you do, find this line:

Hello,

Is there anyway I can enable censorship for the vBShout mod?

Thanks,

[majorj0nny]

Sorry to "bother" you with my "small insignificant host".

I was sharing this information for those who are concern about this script performance. And also to heard from those who already use it to see if they have problems.

It's great if it's work for you.

well - thanks for the info RaZor ... while Ive had VBshout working on our site for some time, and our host has never complained - we have had problems of our bandwidth usage shooting through the roof !

Ive tried things like pruning the shoutbox offen (ie - not letting it get over a certain number), limiting viewing to a few usergroups, disableing it in my forum views and only showing it on my homepage, turning off any fancy smilies, fonts, etc... and even trying to reduce the size of the vbshout.php file... Ive taken to looking for a 'simpler' shoutbox thats not so server killing.

Im not saying I dont love this shoutbox - Its perfect for my needs!

Im not trying to figure out just what is causing the heavy bandwidth usage - if it JUST the sites constant re-loading /clients reloading of vbshout.php ? or does disabling smilies really make a difference ?

A couple requests:

1) Allow the admin to choose the order of the shouts in Archive View (ascending or descending). It'd be much easier to read from a visitor's perspective.

2) Have the user's own shouts be highlighted in a different color, like a soft yellow, to allow easy scanning of the conversation since their last shout.

[ThePimp]

Has anyone found a fix for this?

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.

GRRR! :mad:

Anyone??? This happens on both of my forums, on 2 seperate servers.

[AWS]

Anyone??? This happens on both of my forums, on 2 seperate servers.

This has to be a browser issue. Smilies and images work fine with IE on my forum.

[Rickie3]

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 :)

Replaced the php with the right one
i'm about to upload this just a question,i have a small forum,can i set prune to say every 2 hours???? so in here set like this "(TIMENOW - (60 * 60 * 2)" is this the correct way please

No, that will only delete all shouts that are older than 2 hours.

If you want to let the prunecron run every two hours, you'll have to edit the properties of the cron.

[catocom2]

I've had this installed for quite some time now. My host has had some load
problems, but I'm not sure if it's related to this.
I've read though all 93 pages again, and see some (security/and other) fixes
which I'm going to code in today.

I have noticed some weird files. They look like cache files or something.
I think they are related to the vbshout, but not sure.
Is anybody else getting this?: (see attached)

[tswaibel]

Two questions for everyone :).

Does anyone know how to:

A: Edit the title above the shoutbox window that says "Shoutbox" to something else

B: Make the timestamp on the left smaller in size

Try clearing out shout comments and see if that works.

Hi ...

First excuse my english please ;-)

On this screen (official screenshot from the hack on side 1) you can see the edit functions : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=32673

On the other screen (from my forum) you can see, that the edit options are not shown. Why not ? Can somebody help me ?

Greetings ... Kokus

I've had this installed for quite some time now. My host has had some load
problems

Same here. I had to move providers to run this script and now they are saying i have to remove it!!!! Im on a shared server and its breaking their t's and c's by going over 10% of resources.

Top Process %CPU 12.6 httpd [www.********.co.uk] [/forum/vbshout.php]

Am i going to have to move onto a server or is this script going to be modified?

Has anyone had any success editing or modifing vbshout after warnings from thier host?

[Replicators]

There should be a option to lower the refresh rate, All hacks which use AJAX should have the option to turn down refresh rate. VBpager has the option and this should too.

[DWard]

Is there a way of converting this mod so that it refreshes every 10 seconds instead of a stupid server load refresh at the moment?

[Harley77]

I recently had to remove this by the prompting of my host. I would be just as happy with a non-ajax shoutbox. If I knew how, I would rip all auto-refresh stuff from this thing and go strictly to an update on page load or button click.

[Tracer Gun Kata]

How can you stop html being posted on the shoutbox?

[GuaRRand]

K,... HEEELP!!

I installed it, but it won't show up.
http://www.glcoti.com/index.php

I wonder how i could have gotten this wrong... its just uploading the product and the vbshout.php right?

Any reason why it wont show up?
(i checked in admin panel, it's set to active and should be showign below the navbar)

:(

[Heldenverband]

Hmm,,

after install i have NO entry in my admincp for this shoutbox.

Any Idea ?

[Za4a Tuner]

A: Edit the title above the shoutbox window that says "Shoutbox" to something else
Look in the template => forumhome_vbshout
for:
<a href='vbshout.php?{$session['sessionurl_q']}do=archive'>Shoutbox</a>

and replace it by:
<a href='vbshout.php?{$session['sessionurl_q']}do=archive'>What ever you want to appear</a>

after install i have NO entry in my admincp for this shoutbox. Maybe you've been at the false place ->
look @ the Settings of vB

[raagaswaram]

hey,
for my users vbshout saying loading but not loading?

[sunny001]

Hi,

I've added vBShout to my vB 3.5.4 and it's working great.

The only thing is that it isn't using the style of the forum.
I'm using Aria style on the forum and the shoutbox looks like standard style.

Any idea how to change vBShout using aria style?

Thanks,
Sven

Type /prune into your shoutbox, and it will clear all messages.

I have an issues with smilies not displaying when I turn smilies off in signatures. Anyone had this problem or know a fix?

Thanks

[D.Ilyin]

Also, can anyone answer my questions about disabling both HTML and VB Codes. HTML is disabled when you enable VB Codes, but when you diable VB Codes, HTML is enabled. I need both disabled to disallow members from posting images and large text, etc. it's very important so if anyone could help me out I will be very appriciative.
Did somebody find out how-to disable HTML and BBCode in vBShout?
Or it's imposable?

I am having a problem, when some tries to shout they are directed from /index.php to a blank screen /vbshout.php?

The shout is still registered but no one can see the shouts except through the archive.

i'm guessin this doesn't work for vb 3.0.7?

Well..... Maybe ZT say something?
Just as fact - WE COULD or WE COULD NOT disable HTML and BBCodes?

[d8tabyte]

I've found this to be a huge resource hog and has been the cause of many overloads of my SQL database. An update to change the refresh rate would be awesome.

[Praxin]

As a RPG user , I'll pass on the info that ZT has only had extremely sporadic net access the last couple of months - he has been hardly seen on the GZE forums either. I imagine he will check in as soon as it is humanly possible for him to do so.

mike, you are going to have to go into your mymsq on your server and delete that.........I just had to do the same thing for vbradio. Or you can try running this query real quick $Query = "drop table `".TABLE_PREFIX."shout`";

$vbulletin->db->query($Query);



For those that want to rename the shoutbox, and this isn't my program so i am sorry if this makes the owner of the software man, i don't intend that......... Go to your admincp, then to your template's, click on Forum home template, then scroll down to forumhome_vbshout, locate <a href='vbshout.php?{$session['sessionurl_q']}do=archive'>Shoutbox</a>
Where it says Shoutbox, put your new name in there.......


If i can make a suggestion to those wanting to change the background color's, just add more style's to your site.........this way if a user choose's something like red2black, the back ground will be black.......I currently have 11 styles on my site for user's to choose from.......

You need to make sure that you set your additional style as a child.....when you go to your admincp and click on style/templates, be sure that your original style has a check mark next to it and the new style you uploaded has a check mark in the box next to it........

Is there a trick to turning on the time stamp?It should be on automatically......

Oh I just figured it out. Thanks

Hey I could not look through 56 pages, got overwhelmed after about 25 :) but I have a question.

Is there a way to put that on a separate page, if I am using VBadvanced CMPS and can create templated pages. Wouldn't that turn it into a simple Chat program? I would love that. A place where everyone can just chat, but would not interfere with the forumhome layout.

[kofoid]

So if the time stamp is NOT on automatically - is there a place where I can change a setting?

[hotwheels]

I believe the timestamp should be on automatically...........Is your main forums time working? They should work together......

You may want to reupload the shout.php in your forums root..

[kofoid]

Also is there any way to get the Shout Format Display options to show above the line where you type your shout?

[hotwheels]

I don't see permissions for usergroups (ex allow certain usergroups to post) for the shoutbox under vbulletin options.Not sure what you are hoping to do here, but if you need, you can set a ban on certain usergroups that you don't want posting in the shout box......You can do it by banning an entire group, with the group id. Or you can do it, on a person by person basis........up to you.

I am having the same issue, and I do have it set to show posts, qty 20. Any other ideas?

I recently had to remove this by the prompting of my host. I would be just as happy with a non-ajax shoutbox. If I knew how, I would rip all auto-refresh stuff from this thing and go strictly to an update on page load or button click.

There was a post in this thread with how to do this. Do a search of the thread.

[EdQ]

Anyway to set this so users can only use it once a day?

Most are using like a real-time chat box.

I would like to use it more like a shout-out.

[ozmazdaclub]

is there a way to log all shouts made to a text file as i would like a log of what is said incase something illegal etc is said?

[davelacey]

I've installed it. Very nice work zero tolerance :)

One little query though. Where do the users and admin edit or delete a members shout?

[Tyegurl]

/prune or click on title on shoutbox....

Hi peeps....

Anyway speed up the refresh please? as mine is a bit delayed, perhaps anything upto about 30 seconds :(

Is this shout box working on 3.5.4?

[rareclownfish]

I just installed it it seem to be working fine.
How can I change the name on it when it show's up in my forum?
Say I don't want the name SHOUT BOX as the tile, say I want to call it chat room or somthing.
I would like this to show up on the Left Column how do I mod this to make it happen?
Somthing like this....

Yes, but it was fine before I upgraded.

[Baudman]

[Fifthe1ement]

Yeah, how can we mass delete the database of shouts?

[hotwheels]

for now, you will probably just have to click on "shoutbox" and delete the post's from in there.......1 at a time.

[Fifthe1ement]

Wow, if thats the case I'm going to take it down now as it can grow as my forum is huge...

[jerx]

New Commands

- /prune (Clears the shoutbox completely)
- /prune [username] (Clears all shouts posted by specified user)

Don' t these commands delete the database?

[exegete]

Any chance of being able to control what vbcode can be used?

I don't want html, or img for example, but do want smilies..
Don't know whether this has been answered already, but I achieved it with the following...

In vbshout.php, find the function "bbcodeparser", and specifically the following code in that function:

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

Replace with:

if ($vbulletin->options['shout_bbcode'])
{
$text = preg_replace('/\[\/?(img|size|quote|html|code|center|spoiler|anchor|l ink|blockquote)(=[^\]]*)?\]/', '', $text);
return $vbulletin->vbshout_parse->parse(convert_url_to_bbcode($text), 'nonforum');
}

As you can see, I've removed a whole bunch of BB codes - just add or remove the keywords as necessary. Brackets and options etc for the codes should be handled automatically by the regular expression.

Hope it's self-explanatory. :)

[Reece^B]

anyone got any ideas for me?
The index is now named shoutbox lol when a user is viewing it.

[hotwheels]

Yeah, how can we mass delete the database of shouts? Jerx is correct, just type /prune in your shout box and hit the shout button.......It does a quick job of it.....

Yes, but it was fine before I upgraded.If you go to vbadvanced.com and type in vbshout, you can read some of the article's on the cmps upgrade, and it isn't working right. Alot of the people using vbadvanced have removed that part of the hack from their site's and are strictly using vbshout in the forums only......i could be wrong, which i usually am, but i read and read till my eye's hurt and found people just removing the mod.

[sinizter]

one problem,i uploaded the vbulletin.php file to my forum root directory,but where do i put it?...in acp? in archive?....also, how come its loading forever,it hasnt syopped loading.

[hassi]

Hi,

i've installed vbshout yesterday and i feel quite comfortable with it but i have some questions remaining. Maybe someone can answer them.

1) Can i prevent users from linking external graphics in the shoutbox? I remarked they may not only use system smilies but also diverse pics from their onw websites etc.

2) Is it possible to prevent users from editing/deleting their own shouts? I think this question or a similiar one has been raised before.

Sorry for my english, i'm german ;)

Thanks in advance

[Exitilus]

I've tried searching this thread for my answer. But not finding it. So if this has been asked... Sorry.

Basically I have two domains. forums.my-domain.com and gallery.my-domain.com

The Shoutbox works fine in forums but not gallery. I tried changing all instances of vbshout.php to point to the forums.my-domain.com but that doesn't work. What am I missing? :)

[hassi]

How to prevent certain usergroups from editing/deleting shouts:

Because some users were doing nothing else than deleting / editing shouts and some more who were just mod (but no team-member though) of their userforum were editing / deleting shouts of others i tried to figure out how to restrict access to edit / delete function for certain usergroups only. So if someone is interested in it, please feel free to use the following code.

go to your templates -> look for forumhome_vbshout_archive_shout -> find the following line:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[userid] == $Shout[s_by] OR can_moderate()">

replace it with:

<if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(x, x, x))">

the x's should be replaced by the usergroups who should have access to edit / delete function.

i hope my explanation is understandable (i'm german)
