Multiple chat rooms probably won't be added. Archiving the shoutbox messages to a forum is a very good idea though. I think I may implement that in the next version.

In order to put the shoutbox in individual forums you would need to put a conditional statement in your FORUM DISPLAY template.

I'm not exactly sure what the statement would be, something like "<if condition="$forumid == 6">". That probably won't work, but if you ask around here you may get the correct conditional statement for this (sorry I'm not sure of it).

Hi DionDev!

Congratulation for this Mod! Really cool!

I have a small bug report for you: on Safari 4 (OSX) no colours are displayed in the choosing list... everything ok with firefox 3.5.1 (OSX too).

And a small suggestion:
it could be nice receive a small sound feedback at new users' shouts.. this option should be activable/deactivable by the user.

Thanks for your work!

Bye! ^^

Yes I am aware that the color picker is not functioning properly for a couple of browsers. The color picker is improved in the next version.

I just installed this chatbox on my forum and it seems to work like a charm!
Many thanks for your hard work.

One question right now: is there a quick way to apply usergroup markup to the usernames in the chatbox? Right now the only part of the markup that seems to be working is that my name, as an admin, is italicized. It should also be green, and bold. But I noticed that everybody's name is bold. Just wondering if there's an easy way to customize the names. I took a quick look in the template but didn't see it.

I even went into shoutinsert.php and changed $user_name = $vbulletin->userinfo['username']; to $user_name = $vbulletin->userinfo['musername'];
This only partially worked, as my name was green but didn't light up when I hovered the cursor over it.

In the shoutbox CSS it defines font sizes and whatnot - your best bet is to modify the shoutbox CSS.

Where is the shoutbox CSS?
I looked in the PHP files, the template, the style options, and even the shoubox options.

Take a look at the shoutshow.php file. You can apply your own CSS there.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I tried installing this and it didn't work for me. The shout box is inserted where I put it in the templalate, but nothing is entered when I type something and click "shout it". All I get in the main body of the shoutbox is the text "Powered by Dion Dev Shoutbox v2.1" (or something very similar, I've deleted it now). This is a hyperlink to this thread.

We do not allow guests to view our forum, would that be the problem?

Thanks for your help.

re-install the shoutbox and follow the instructions carefully, i bet one of the files became corrupt.

Hello DionDev,

Thank you very much for your prompt reply and for your suggestion. Unfortunately I still can't get it to work... I uninstalled the program and deleted the files, and re-installed it again, didn't work. I uninstalled the program/deleted files again, downloaded a fresh copy of the zip file, followed the installation instructions to a tee.. and still got exactly the same problem. I've attached a screen shot of what appears on my forum index page. It all looks great, but when I type a shout in the shotbox and click "shout it".... the text "vanishes"... but nothing appears in the shoutbox. I know this isn't much information for you to go on to work out what the problem is, but hopefully the screen shot will help. Nothing appears in the table where the shouts should appear.. could it be a database issue?

I'd really appreciate it if you could help as this mod is exactly what I've been looking for and looks great.

Thank you

BEB
