[AJAX] vBShout v2 on your vBadvanced CMPS v2! [Archive]

FleaBag

10-03-2005, 10:00 PM

This is not essentially my hack, it's a group effort originating in the vBadvanced (http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9818) forums.

The following instructions will allow you to add vBShout v2.0 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=93097) by Zero Tolerance (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=48782) as a fully collapsible module to your vBadvanced CMPS (http://www.vbadvanced.com/products.php?do=productinfo&p=4) homepage v2.0.0, and remove it from your Forum Home [if you want]. Note, you must have both the vBShout product and CMPS installed with vBulletin 3.5.0 - it may work with Betas, but I really don't know.

This is a group effort from a few guys over at the vBadvanced forums, which includes Scotty2k (http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/member.php?u=15640) and vbusers11 (http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/member.php?u=8752) - I take no credit for this, I just spotted a problem with how the vBa forums was parsing postbits there. Plus the integration wasn't getting much attention over there and it would be a shame for users of vBShout and vBadvanced to miss out on this. :)

1) Create a new template based module called 'Shoutbox' in CMPS [ACP > vBa CMPS > Add Module > Template].

2) In 'Column', choose 'Center Column'.

3) Set 'Active' and 'Update All Pages' to Yes [assuming you want it to be active, and update all pages].

4 a) TO ADD AS A CENTRE MODULE - IF YOU DO THIS DO NOT FOLLOW STEPS B OR C!
In 'Template Content', paste the following code [this relies on you running your CMPS & vB in the same folder]. This will add a template to the selected Style called 'adv_portal_vbshout'.
<td class="alt1" align="left" width="100%">
<form action="vbshout.php?{$session['sessionurl']}" method="post" name="vbshoutform" onsubmit="return postShout(this)">
<input type='hidden' name='do' value='shout' />
<input type='hidden' name='color' />
<input type='hidden' name='fontFamily' />
<input type='hidden' name='fontWeight' />
<input type='hidden' name='textDecoration' />
<input type='hidden' name='fontStyle' />

<if condition="!$vboptions[shout_editor_position]">
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[userid] > 0">
<table width='100%' border='0' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>
<tr>
<td width='100%'>
<input type="text" name="shout" style="width: 90%" class="bginput" />
</td>
<td style='white-space:nowrap' width='1%'>
<input type="submit" value="Shout" class="button" />
<if condition="$vboptions[shout_extra_options]">
<input type='button' class='button' value='Clear' onclick='sb_Clear()' />
</if>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<div style="height: 2px"></div>
</if>
</if>
<div id="vbshout" style="overflow:auto;height:{$vboptions['shout_box_height']}px;width:100%;">
Loading...
</div>
<if condition="$vboptions[shout_editor_position]">
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[userid] > 0">
<div style="height: 2px"></div>
<table width='100%' border='0' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>
<tr>
<td width='100%'>
<input type="text" name="shout" style="width: 90%" class="bginput" />
</td>
<td style='white-space:nowrap' width='1%'>
<input type="submit" value="Shout" class="button" />
<if condition="$vboptions[shout_extra_options]">
<input type='button' class='button' value='Clear' onclick='sb_Clear()' />
</if>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</if>
</if>
</form>
</td>

<script type='text/javascript'>

</script>

4 b) TO ADD AS A SIDE MODULE - ONLY FOLLOW THIS STEP IF YOU DID NOT PERFORM STEP A.
In 'Template Content', paste the following code [this relies on you running your CMPS & vB in the same folder]. This will add a template to the selected Style called 'adv_portal_vbshout'.

<td class="alt1" align="left">
<form action="vbshout.php?{$session['sessionurl']}" method="post" name="vbshoutform" onsubmit="return postShout(this)">
<input type='hidden' name='do' value='shout' />
<input type='hidden' name='color' />
<input type='hidden' name='fontFamily' />
<input type='hidden' name='fontWeight' />
<input type='hidden' name='textDecoration' />
<input type='hidden' name='fontStyle' />

<if condition="!$vboptions[shout_editor_position]">
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[userid] > 0">
<table border='0' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="text" name="shout" style="width: 100%" class="bginput" />
</td>
<td style='white-space:nowrap' width='1%'>
<input type="submit" value="Shout" class="button" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<div style="height: 2px"></div>
</if>
</if>
<div id="vbshout">
Loading...
</div>
<if condition="$vboptions[shout_editor_position]">
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[userid] > 0">
<div style="height: 2px"></div>
<table border='0' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="text" name="shout" style="width: 90%" class="bginput" />
</td>
<td style='white-space:nowrap' width='1%'>
<input type="submit" value="Shout" class="button" />
<if condition="$vboptions[shout_extra_options]">
<input type='button' class='button' value='Clear' onclick='sb_Clear()' />
</if>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</if>
</if>
</form>
</td>

<script type='text/javascript'>

</script>

4 c) ONLY PERFORM THIS STEP IF YOU DID NOT PERFORM STEP A!
Edit your 'forumhome_vbshout_shout' template [ACP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > YOUR DEFAULT STYLE > forumhome_vbshout_shout], and replace it's contents with the following.
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top">
<span class="smallfont">
<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>
<if condition="!$Shout[s_me]">
{$Shout['s_shout']}
<else />
<span class='highlight'>
*{$Shout['username']} {$Shout['s_shout']}*
</span>
</if>
</span>
</td>
</tr>

5) In the 'Module Shell Template Options' section when adding a template, add the following URL in 'Module Link'.

http://www.mysite.com/vbshout.php?do=archive

The above, again assumes you have CMPS & vBa running in the same folder. Replace www.mysite.com with the address of your website.

If your CMPS & vB are not installed in the same folder, you will need to replace all instances of 'vbshout.php' in the template and in 'Module Link' with the path to where you have vBShout installed in relation to your CMPS. For example if you have CMPS installed in the root folder, and vBshout within a folder called 'forum' you would need to replace all instances of 'vbshout.php' with '/forum/vbshout.php'.

Removing vBShout from your Forum Home - IF YOU FOLLOWED STEP 4 b) YOU HAVE TO DO STEP 5 - YOUR VBSHOUT WILL NOT RENDER CORRECTLY ON YOUR FORUM HOME! IF YOU HAVE YOUR SHOUTBOX AS A CENTRE MODULE ON THE CMPS, AND WANT TO ALSO HAVE IT RUNNING ON THE FORUM HOME, DO NOT PERFORM THIS STEP!

6) In your ACP go to [ACP > Plugin System > Plugin Manager] - find on that page 'vBShout [Template Alteration]' and uncheck the box which will deactivate it.

That's all there is to it folks, a very simple fix to the problem.

Great. What, if i only have a "Loading" in my Shoutbox Content (www.webgurus.de (http://www.webgurus.de)) ? I think i have edited the path to vbshout.php everywhere (2 strings found) because i have vba and vb35 in different folders.

Thanks, Wachtmeister

//edit: i've missed 2 vbshout.php :)

I'm not sure about that one. To be honest in the excitement I never thought of checking to see if that was the case. I will take a look at this to see what I can do...

FleaBag

This would not be adding as a module, as you can only have a CMPS module in either the left, centre or right column.

10-04-2005, 11:24 AM

The refresh seems to work just fine for me. Is it working properly on your default installation of vBShout?

Wachtmeister

Yes, it works on all other sites. Can i have done something wrong somewhere?

Glad to have this..... I did remove the time of shouts from mine so it would look better and not cause users to have to scroll.

Everything works fine with the exception of one problem. Within the shoutbox itself, if you click on someone's name, it tries to take you to:

/member.php

instead of (in my case)

/forums/member.php

Can someone assist in resolving this issue?

Oups, same problem here. And yes, i have replaced all vbshout.php to /forum/vbshout.php. It just links to member.php instead of <path to forum>/member.php.

Also, can someone post how to remove the time that is in front of the usernames from within the shoutbox module? It was posted in the other thread as to how to remove it from forumhome, but that code is not the same in the CMPS module.

Also, when my users are in the shoutbox, the following appears in "who's online"

Unknown Location /forums/vbshout.php/

Can that be resolved as well?

FleaBag

10-04-2005, 03:56 PM

Hmm the same problem is present with vBShout. I think that would need to be fixed as part of the hack itself; although I'll certainly take a look tonight.

JJR512

10-04-2005, 05:33 PM

I've installed it and in general it works fine. However, I am having one problem.

Actually it's the same problem I've had with the vBShout, which you can read about in that thread. In a nutshell, whenever someone was on my forums home page, if you looked at Who's Online it would say they were viewing the shoutbox. The link would be to the forums home page, though. I tested this myself, on myself, by going to the forums home page, refreshing, then going straight to Who's Online. Sure enough, there it says I'm viewing the shoutbox, with a link to the forums home page.

Now that I've installed this add-on, the problem has been expanded to my main cmps page, too. If I'm looking at that page, then jump to Who's Online, it says I'm looking at the shoutbox, with a link to my main cmps page.

I don't consider this to be a problem with this add-on, I think it's simply an effect of a problem/issue with the underlying vBShout hack. I've checked the hack's plugins to the Who's Online system, and compared to others, and both are fine. As far as I can tell, there's no problem with the plugins. I don't even know for sure that the problem is the hack itself; it could be something with vBulletin--I'm starting to think that if a page (like index.php) gets output from another page (like vbshout.php), then for some reason vBulletin considers vbshout.php to be the page the viewer is on.

Whatever the problem is, although I've documented and explained it, I have yet to get any help or suggestions. Maybe, FleaBag, you could have those people over at vBadvanced, who wrote this add-on, look into it, if they're familiar with the hack already? :)

FleaBag

10-04-2005, 08:33 PM

Basically I think you've hit it on the head... Here's how I see it. vB sessions obviously update every time a page is loaded. For instance I used to have a frame with a news.php file [custom code] pulling my news in a different format. This page was obviously loaded after the index.php, so Who's On-line picked up my location as news.php. Now obviously this is working slightly differently with vBShout, as it's pointing to index.php, but say's you're viewing vbshout.php. View your vbshout.php in your browser, looks like XML to me. The template on the CMPS, and Forum Home are including that XML file to get the shouts onto the page. As a result, the session makes vB think you're on vbshout.php [which is right, because it was the last vB page loaded] yet you are still in fact on index.php [the reason for it linking back to that page]. I think vB is the problem, at least when handling the way vBShout works, and the way sessions are generated needs to be updated.

JJR512

10-04-2005, 08:55 PM

I was mistaken, I just realized. It's not pointing to index.php even though it says viewing the shoutbox. It is, in fact, pointing to vbshout.php.

I wonder if there's a way to make index.php (or the main cmps PHP file) send new session info or update session info at the END of the script, in other words after vbshout.php has been called?

FleaBag

10-04-2005, 09:59 PM

This is a stab in the dark but I'm guessing a session is updated around the time global.php is called. So every time global.php is called you'll be recorded as viewing the .php file in which that reference runs. So as it stands, I don't see how it could be sorted. I'm not a coder though heh.

Still not looked at removing the date - sorry.

Gizmo, where are your forums on your server, and where is your CMPS? Did you edit any of the template?

Scotty2k

10-05-2005, 09:52 PM

@FleaBag .. thx 4 publishing our modification here.. more user more ideas :-)

I tried to fix the member.php problem ... here is my result:

Find in the template forumhome_vbshout_shout:

<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>

and replace it with
(change YOUR-FORUM-PATH/ to your forumfolder!!!
example: forum/member.php?{$session...... )

<if condition="$Shout[s_by]">
<a href='YOUR-FORUM-PATH/member.php?{$session['sessionurl_q']}u={$Shout['s_by']}'>
</if>
{$Shout['username']}<if condition="$Shout[s_by]"></a>
</if>:</if>

If you want to use the vbshout on your forum pages and in vbadvanced the template must be changed to full path to your forum .. see it in next Code-BOX

<if condition="$Shout[s_by]">
<a href='http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com/YOUR-FORUM-PATH/member.php?{$session['sessionurl_q']}u={$Shout['s_by']}'>
</if>
{$Shout['username']}<if condition="$Shout[s_by]"></a>
</if>:</if>

I'm having a bit of a problem with the shoutbox on my site, it displays correctly, but no text will come up, like it's not refreshing. Contantly shows 'Loading...'
If I look at vBShout in forumhome the text I have entered from within vBAdvanced show's up.

My site is set out as such

www.flipsy.net -> vBAdvanced CMPS
forums.flipsy.net -> vB with vBShout in root folder.

Code has been changed in the template to direct to http://forums.flipsy.net/vbshout.php

Any ideas would be welcome.

thanks - this is great ... i love ZT's original vbshout - a very versatile shoutbox, and now with your hack we can easily have this on our VBA homepages...

Ive altered things around a little - Ive moved the timestamp to the end of the shout rather than infront of the username and this seems to free up some much needed horizontal room...

how would I go about adding back the textcolour button and perhaps changing the default font size/colour of the timestamp ?

for the testcolour button - how would I make it a neater 'colour swatch' style thing rather than the current wide list of colour codes.... ?

thanks in advance

OK so I now have a very basic version of this hack working as a side module.

See the first post for details. :)

Wordplay

10-17-2005, 07:13 AM

can you make a mod for this that would display minature versions of user's avatars instead of their username in the shoutbox? i've been looking around for that ever since v3.5 rc1 came out, but nobody (not vbshout nor chatbox lite) is willing to work or create that.

alot of people asked for this on the chatbox lite thread, but with no luck.

Can we define a certain size of the message window along with right scrollba, right now window goes on expanding infinitely.

Very useful hack!

BTW, when I choose the position of the vBShout editor to be "Below Messages" (in vBulletin options > vBShout options), the editor box disappear! I am using the shout box as a side module, and maybe the new template does not allow the change of editor's possition?

Thanks for all of the updates thus far. I have the shoutbox set to the right column of my CMPS and it looks fantastic.

:)

My last question about the shoutbox on the CMPS...Is there anyway to fix the following problem when I view "who's online?"

can you make a mod for this that would display minature versions of user's avatars instead of their username in the shoutbox? i've been looking around for that ever since v3.5 rc1 came out, but nobody (not vbshout nor chatbox lite) is willing to work or create that.

alot of people asked for this on the chatbox lite thread, but with no luck.

I'll certainly give it a go when I get a chance.

Excellent!! Thanks

Can we define a certain size of the message window along with right scrollba, right now window goes on expanding infinitely.

I'll explain how to when I update.

This is an issue with the hack itself, not the add-on. I have a workaround running on my site where users are showing as on the homepage when on the homepage, but the downside is when people view the shoutbox archive they are also shown to be on the homepage. If you want to know how to do this, say so, and I'll include it with the next update.

Heya Flea. If you could provide instructions on how to do that, it would be most appreciative. I would rather have some sort of redirect versus the ugly "unknown location" message.

It indeed works great..nice mod and thanx again.
My vba runs in root and forum under forums/. the vbshoutbox is in forums/.
1. when the user types in a smily, it's not visible in the main page. the code checks for the root directory only. so i copied the image folder to root directory which contained the smilies(hope a better fix in code is available).
2.the same problem is the there for the user details too..as it looks for members.php?u=xx in the root directory.

Hope u can help me, or is the solution already available?

Since it didn't seem to get addressed,

To have a scroll bar on a left or right side shoutbox, (so it doesn't stretch for a mile down the page), the insanely simple fix.

In adv_portal_vbshout:

Find:

<div id="vbshout">
Loading...
</div>

Replace with:

<div id="vbshout" style="overflow:auto;height:350px;width:100%;">
Loading...
</div>

Replace the 350px with whatever size you want it to be. 350px worked well for my site.

12-07-2005, 05:21 AM

Two questions :

1) When creating this new module, do you specify anything for 'Template to Include'?

2) I might be one of the few to use the original vB index.php page in addition to the cmps_index.php page for subscribers/mods... when you disable it for one, it enables it for the other. Any way to enable this for both pages at the same time?

Thanks in advance for any help.

12-20-2005, 07:27 PM

@FleaBag .. thx 4 publishing our modification here.. more user more ideas :-)

I tried to fix the member.php problem ... here is my result:

Find in the template forumhome_vbshout_shout:

<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>

and replace it with
(change YOUR-FORUM-PATH/ to your forumfolder!!!
example: forum/member.php?{$session...... )

<if condition="$Shout[s_by]">
<a href='YOUR-FORUM-PATH/member.php?{$session['sessionurl_q']}u={$Shout['s_by']}'>
</if>
{$Shout['username']}<if condition="$Shout[s_by]"></a>
</if>:</if>

If you want to use the vbshout on your forum pages and in vbadvanced the template must be changed to full path to your forum .. see it in next Code-BOX

<if condition="$Shout[s_by]">
<a href='http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com/YOUR-FORUM-PATH/member.php?{$session['sessionurl_q']}u={$Shout['s_by']}'>
</if>
{$Shout['username']}<if condition="$Shout[s_by]"></a>
</if>:</if>

I could not test it yet, but it should work .. please give us feedback, perhaps FleaBag can edit his first Thread with this changes.

This does the fix! However, it is better to use Vbulletin variable for the forum path, $vbulletin->options[bburl], rather than using direct link:

<if condition="$Shout[s_by]">
<a href='{$vbulletin->options[bburl]}/member.php?{$session['sessionurl_q']}u={$Shout['s_by']}'>
</if>
{$Shout['username']}<if condition="$Shout[s_by]"></a>
</if>:</if>

I have tested this code, and it should work in both cases!

Assuming you figured this out, but for those searching, make sure that if VBA is in the root and your forums are in /forums/ that you edit the template (3 locations) to /forums/vbshout.php.

Your answer is in the install notes. ;)

Edit your 'forumhome_vbshout_shout' template [ACP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > YOUR DEFAULT STYLE > forumhome_vbshout_shout], and replace it's contents with the following.

<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top">
<span class="smallfont">

It's in the install section:
If your CMPS & vB are not installed in the same folder, you will need to replace all instances of 'vbshout.php' in the template and in 'Module Link' with the path to where you have vBShout installed in relation to your CMPS. For example if you have CMPS installed in the root folder, and vBshout within a folder called 'forum' you would need to replace all instances of 'vbshout.php' with '/forum/vbshout.php'.

Also, I am trying to get the timestamps to work in the side panel module.

I can get the time in there with:

but the time is always formatted "Today at: xxxxxxx". Does anyone have a suggestion for how to format it to #:## AM/PM?

Hi - neat integration - but our Safari users are seeing a problem when the shoutbox is placed on a page along with the Recent Threads CMPS module. They cannot click on the thread entries in Recent Threads - they don't fire up windows correctly.

If I remove the shoutbox from the page, the Recent Threads start working again - I'm guessing there's a conflict in the javascript somewhere.

Any ideas?

Using Firefox 1.5.0.2, I can see the shoutbox on the forum home page (normal version) but using my cmps_index file, I see "Loading" only.

I loaded IE and I see the shouts on the vBa page. Anyone seen anything like this? I checked for updates to the browser and didn't see any.

I am having this problem.
The shoutbox on the forum page shows more option buttons, (shout, clear, smiles, bold, underscore, italic, color, font face)

Now I also just placed it in the new center module however the only option buttons that appear are Shout and Clear.

I have lost the other buttons while the shotbox is on vbadvanced home page.

Is there a way to use the full shoutbox on a dedicated shouting page but still use the module with the CMPS template? If I go directly to the vbshout.php file I only get the CMPS content.

VirusEJ

08-02-2006, 02:57 PM

FleaBag, are you still giving support on this top mod?

I am happily using the mod for my website, using a couple of different themes/skins & vbadvanced.

My question however is this. On my Homepage I have the shoutbox module showing on the left side. I have recently installed another mod that allows me to see the side panels from vbadvanced whilst I am in the forums etc.

The shoutbox module appears and works on all other pages I have in the CMPS but the "includes" page which is the one that loads the forums leaves the shoutbox showing Loading.

I have had a quick look around and I can't see why this might be happening, any thoughts?

Please feel free to PM / Email me for examples / screenshots / links.

Thanks

The reason they do not work is because the plugin 'vBShout [Template Alteration]' was deactivated inorder for this to work. That plugin contains the arrays to populate the dropdowns and the smilies. Without that code none of the pulldowns will work.

function sb_Smilie(code) { document.forms["vbshoutform"].shout.value += ' ' + code return false } function sb_Clear() { document.forms["vbshoutform"].shout.value = '' return true; } function sb_Smilies(cButton) { if (cButton.value.match(/\*/)) { cButton.value = cButton.value.replace(/\s+\*/, '') } else { cButton.value = cButton.value + ' *' } document.getElementById('shout_emo').style.display = (document.getElementById('shout_emo').style.displa y == 'none')? '' : 'none' } requestShouts() -->

What could be the problem?

Griever_Reborn

Ok, got that fixed with just reinstalling the stuff.

Now, I don't have the text formation on my CMPS just like it is on the home page: (add smilies, font type and facem, bold, italic, ...).
How can I add them, so that they are also on the CMPS shoutbox?

Second problem is that it says now 'Viewing Shoutbox' indstead of the portal, how to fix that?

Thanks, G.

I just installed this hack with vb3.6.1 and CMPS. Works well on my laptop [I host my website on my laptop]. But when I try to access the page from some other computer on netwrok, the chat hangs on the screen "Loading ....." I tried running http://<myip>/forum/vbshout.php?=doarchive from the other computer and it comes up just fine.

I tried changing vbshout.php path as per previous posts, but that doesnt seem to work [or change anything]. Could someone please give a step by step solution to this? Or atleast tell me where exactly I need to make the changes.

Any help would be welcome.

stud

10-05-2006, 12:11 PM

Yeah - looking back, I admit my main confusion was my own fault - not noticing that I had not added "/forum/vbshout.php" because I use the CMPS in a different directory as the forum...

I guess i was also confused that under template module options, you have to input vbshout as the template to include. Your instructions only say it will add a template called this - it never specifies you should input this in that box.

It's obvious, but can be confusing if your troubleshooting and you follow every step "to the letter". Thanks!! :)

Great Mod! A few questions:

a. How do you include special characters, like quotation marks. Currently, they show up as "
[edit] Fixed - just needed an upgraded v2.1 version of vbShout

b. Any way of limiting what is shown? Either remove or better yet, RESIZE images?
How about a way to trim URLs so that very long ones don't make the shoutbox resize so drastically.

c. Any chance of adding the "Who's shouting" mod to it, possibly underneath so as not to disrupt the sizing of the box?

Maybe a good idea to replace it with "the template adv_portal_vbshout" because I see a lot of questions about the "loading" thingie...

I turned on the scroll bars but they look horrible. Does anyone know how to turn on ONLY the vertical scroll bar so people can scroll through older messages?

Also, I am trying to get the timestamps to work in the side panel module.

I can get the time in there with:

<span style='float:right'> {$Shout['time']} </span>

but the time is always formatted "Today at: xxxxxxx". Does anyone have a suggestion for how to format it to #:## AM/PM?

Thanks!

TO CHANGE THE TIME FORMAT:

- Open your vbshout.php

- Locate this code:
function buildTime($time = TIMENOW)
{
global $vbulletin;

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

return $Time;

- If you want to disable the "x minutes ago" part, then put // in front of the these lines like this:
// $Time = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $time, $vbulletin->options['yestoday']);
// $Time .= ' ';

- If you want to change the time format for the [xx:xx am] part of the timestamp, change this line:
$Time .= vbdate($vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $time, $vbulletin->options['yestoday']);

to something like this:
$Time .= vbdate('PUT_YOUR_DESIRED_FORMAT_HERE', $time, $vbulletin->options['yestoday']);

Replace 'PUT_YOUR_DESIRED_FORMAT_HERE following this simple guide (http://www.php.net/date).

Mine says
'g:ia' which makes a timestamp that looks for example like this: '6:55pm'.

AS ALWAYS, YOU SHOULD MAKE A COPY OF YOUR ORIGINAL FILES BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY CHANGES TO YOUR WORKING CODE!!!

This will only work when your cmps and forum are not in the same location.

:The code below is the upper code of the entire code that means U only chnage the code until u hit <script type='text/javascript'>
<!--
Below that use the code orginally posted in this thread.

Hi Pearl,

Thank you very much for posting this. In the script you have all the smilies hard coded on your site - do we have to hard code every smilie to make them work? Right now they're all linked to you :)

Regards,
Renada

Thanks Pearl.

Sure if we could have 5 random smileys instead of 10 hardcoded ones it will be ok! :D

I have this (v2.1) working with vB 3.6.4 and vBadvanced CMPS.

However -

It works correctly on the home page and other pages that I've added to the Site Nav module but when you click a header link eg. 'Calendar' it just displays the shout input box, shout button and the word 'loading' under that. Shouts that are visible on the home page are no longer visible and when you try to add a shout nothing happens.

The CMPS file is in my root and the vB files are in another directory. I've found and changed the paths (3) in the template file as it says in the instructions.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

i have vba index.php in the root of the site and the forum files in a directory called forum.

I got everything working accept the username links to http://www.mysite.co.uk/member.php and not http://www.mysite.co.uk/forum/member.php

what would i need to change to get this working thanks?

Okay, two questions, if there's anyone around to look.

1. I used the side module version on http://www.squarextreme.com. The input and submit fields are showing off to the side. How can I correct this?

2. I've noticed that this takes the timestamp away from the posts, which is obviously neccessary for the sidebar. Can it be kept for the forumhome version?

Edit: localhost, you probably have the link to your forums wrong. You might want to double-check your settings in both the vb options and vba options.

I'm running VBA and VB 3.6.5, having the same problem as in message #64.
When I choose the editor position blow the messages it moves completely to the right side almost out of range.

When I choose above messages, all is fine.
I have it on a right side column.

How can I fix this?

Sounds like what was happening to me. I'm going to try moving the bar to the top to see if it fixes my problem.

And have another problem now. I set the height of the vbshout in the vbshout main settings to a height of 600 pixels like my adsense is too.
But it does not matter, even if I set it to 300, it just gets longer and longer. Does anybody know how to fix this?

It would be nice if the coder could give a "read" confirm so we know he will be working on the issue's.

Anyone giving support on this? It has several problems.
1.) When placing shout below messages, the layout is messed up.
2.) When changing the max. length of the shoutbox, it has no effekt, box keeps on growing.

it stpos at loading
Check if you did all steps, my guess is you forgot to disable the part in the original vbshout section under plugins.

Clicked install again thanks to the msg #86 of Harly 77.

However it's not 100%. Scrollbars are overlapping the text a little (which does not look nice), and the problem when putting the shout button below still exist.
So I still hope there will be some support about this. Can't you help please Fleabag? At least for the scrollbars not overlapping text then?
Or anybody else?

Steps 4 a) (not B) + 4 c) worked perfectly for me - vertical vbshout without any troubles.

You used 4 a.) instead of b? But it says 4a is for a centre module, strange.

Seems like the only difference is formmating of shouts, which is step c. Don't get what should be different in a and b actually - the shape is just a matter of table cell size.
