I went back a few pages and didn't see this asked yet. I am wondering if anyone knows the modifications needed to get this running on vB 3.0?

If not, does anyone have plans to do so soon?

Someone on at vb.com was talking about almost having this done.

Yeah I saw that same post over there.

That would be me :) Unfortunately, vB.org does not allow the release of vB3 hacks. Stay tuned for more info, I am in the process of asking TWT for permission to rerelease the hack. I would guess that the hack itself is about 90% complete now.

The last shout in the place of Announcement :cool:

is there any way to ban and unban some one from the shoutbox.
but not ban the them from the forum

Yea monster, I added it to my board. I'll post it up in a sec.

Open Shoutbox.php

Find this:

Replace that with this:


Then find this:

Below that, add this:

Replace X in that code with the User ID of the person you are banning.

Then create a template named shoutbox_banned

Put this in that template:

Upload your shoutbox.php and that should be it.

Don't forget to change the font color from white in the added template to whatever color that matches your style. That's the color the text will be from the ban message.

If you do that correctly, when someone that is banned goes to the shoutbox it will look like the attached screenshot. Sorry it's not a function that you can do from your AdminCP, I'm not that good. :ermm:

thanx
trying it now

I created a folder "/chat" wich is on the same level as the folder "/forum". All is working well only one thing - smilies never show up, because the path to them has changed. Is there a way to add $bburl to every smilie path or a better method to solve this problem?

That only works if you are trying to ban one user id ya know. If you are trying to ban multiple people it has to be written a little differently.

right now i only need this one. :rambo: thanx

no problem

Did anyone ever make a modification so wrap things like long links and long blocks of text like __________________________________________________

i have been asked to put this up here by a few people so here goes.......

this is a modification o the shoutbox found shoutbox by TWTCommish here

it works on vb2.3.0 but there is no reason why it wont work on most if not all vb 2.x.x

to use this you need vbhomelight by teck available here vbhomelight by teck


and the shoutbox by TWTCommish (see above)

this puts the shoubox on the homepage of the vbhome light and makes it scroll.........


live demo here http://www.talkshopforums.co.uk

its not much but someone might like it eh :)

instalation instructions attached.....

any probs post them here i'll try to help....

thanks
phill

You can't control the scrolling with a scroll bar?

errr not sure i understand you m8 ????

You could use <base href="$bburl"> :)

Nevermind :ermm:

Any chance the scrolling shotubox would work with phpportal? Thx

Anyway to turn off the auto-refresh that happens with the shiutbox or set it at a much higher rate. it would be ideal to disable it.

Thanks,

midz

You can set it at a higher rate yourself in shoutbox.php

I don't see why people say this. The only reason for it needing to be increased is if people post huge messages there. I don't allow that on my forums cause huge messages on forumhome make your forums look retarded.

oh btw, anyone work a word wrap into this yet?

the shoutbox isnt displaying on my index, help

bump, the thing is simply slowing down my frontpage, and its not displaying the shoutbox there

helloooooooooooooo
No one giving support to any hacks now a days phhft

99.9% of all problems (of which you shouldn't have any if you follow the instructions properly) which you might run into have already been explained and dealt with in this thread.

I guess writing a hack for public use and engaging in public troubleshooting for ONLY months on end isn't enough to merit your gratitude, though.

first make sure you did the query on your database

if you did that make sure you added
In the "forumhome" template, replace this code:

With this code:

-Sidekick-

would it be possible to add the option to ban someone from the shoutbox in the mod and admincps.. like a link called "Ban From Shout" and then it brings you to a page with a list of people that are banned and yuo can remove them from the ban list or add people to the ban list? that would be awesome!

You can easily create an admin cp option where you can enter a list of userid's to be banned Matt :)

Ok, i installed this hack, works great for registered members, but if a guest now attempts to view my forum/index.php they receive the following error:

There seems to have been a slight problem with the HPISAVAGEFORUM.COM database.
Please try again by pressing the refresh button in your browser.

An E-Mail has been dispatched to our Technical Staff, who you can also contact if the problem persists.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

This is very annoying, as guests think the site is down and don't register.....

Is there a solution to this problem???

Thanks

What's the actual error?

People are shutting down my site with html codes...is there a way around this?

dont enable html

Would somebody have an idea to limit the number of lines in a shout? example not of more than 5 lines?

thank you :) 4 This hack

Possible to explain how this is done? thank you

I have disabled html in every possible area, please fill me in and lemme know what can be done my site gets shut down within 2 min of puttin up shoutbox :(

just go into your admincp and go to vbulletin options.. scroll down and disable html.

i Have done that to no avail.

dunno then, that should work.. good luck

If you go to http://boards.videogamezone.net/shoutbox.php you'll see that the leaderbit isn't showing up. Everything else is working great expect the leaderbit problem so if anyone knows how to fix it that would be great.

Thanks! :)
