I would still like to know why it causes the page to continuously refresh. Thanks!

Hello, the "shoutbox" text to click to edit isnt hyperlinked. Not sure what i've done. Uninstalled and reinstalled but no joy.

Yeah I have the issue with smilies, looks like I might have to disable them.

it refreshes like that so when some one shouts you can see it in real time....that way you dont have to refresh to see new shouts

tried installing it and i get this mysql error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.0 Release Candidate 2:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT plugin.*,
IF(product.productid IS NULL, 0, 1) AS foundproduct,
IF(plugin.product = 'vbulletin', 1, product.active) AS productactive
FROM plugin AS plugin
LEFT JOIN product AS product ON(product.productid = plugin.product)
WHERE plugin.active = 1
AND plugin.htmlcode <> '';

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'plugin.htmlcode' in 'where clause'
Error Number : 1054

pls help :(

merci beaucoup

Sorry if I missed this, however, is there a place where we can alter permissions on who can use shout and who cannot?

I see there is an option for banned users...but what about others?

Thanks ZT, nice upgrade ;)

Looks like the page navigation disappers after the shouts reaches 1000 stored.

Ok, a quick fix. With vbshout.php, around line 63, find:
$TS = vb_number_format($TS['ts']);

Replace it with:
$TS = $TS['ts'];

Ok, while I am at it.

The following two queries do not seem do anything.

$T4 = $DB->query_first("select count(*) as `T4` from " . TABLE_PREFIX . "shout where s_time > " . (TIMENOW - (60 * 60 * 24)));
$T4 = vb_number_format($T4['T4']);

$TY = $DB->query_first("select count(*) as `TY` from " . TABLE_PREFIX . "shout where s_by = '{$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']}'");
$TY = vb_number_format($TY['TY']);

I have removed them.

Also adding an index to `s_by` should improve performance.

yes i know that but i dont want to revert, i just want to know what other changes there are in this template, Because i spent ages modifying this template to get it how i want it

I think that archive link was the only thing changed.

Would it be possible to have a link to the archive on the shoutbox?

There already is !
Click on "Shoutbox" on the shoutbox :)

The word shoutbox is not clickable on the version I just downloaded.

Try reverting the forumhome_vbshout template and forumhome_vbshout_post template if you modified them before the upgrade.

And thank you TTG.. :)

They havent been modified.

Revert the templates anyway, also uploaded a new zip with the pagination bug fixed :)

- Zero Tolerance

This is awesome, thanks alot :D

There is no option to revert the templates as they havent been modified.

Question.

I would love to have this system as a global thing that shows up on any page on the forum. :) Is there a way to do so?

I've been trying to get this anwsered for the last 3 weeks. Good luck.

A even better way is to have different Topics under different parent forums and display all the shouts at the main page.

I also suggest to change the `s_shout` and `s_data` field type from 'text' to 'CHAR 255'. It could become a problem if something has one of the keyboard keys stuck.

Is the censor still not working for this?

As far as getting it to show up on every page.

Not sure if there is a way to do it globally, I made some edits to add it to the forumdisplay page. I'll try to post what hook I used later.

Lol, i was hounding him by his own shoutbox on his site :)

Dacado on ZT's Site said ZT Said something about global on here... But I just read the entire thread and didn't see anything. I would love to have this show up on every single page of my forum along with on vbadvanced since it is my homepage. :) (I would do this myself, but I suck with php. -_-')

I banned usergroup 1 (Unregistered) from ShoutBox and here is what is shown for them:

How to solve this?

EDIT: I changed options to not show Shoutbox for banned usergroups and it is ok now for me.


EDIT2: Another problem - I think Shoutbox slows down opening forum index :ermm:

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.

I suggest you to change Shoutbox look. I would like to see something like this in the next version:

What do you think about this guys?

P.S.: This picture was Photoshop-ed.

=o THAT LOOKS AWESOME!!!! I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT LAYOUT!!! <3

that does look real nice DROOLS

yep, looks good, but what happens when u use smilies that are waay bigger than the ones shown in the pic?
it`d start to get real ugly..

ihave hundreds of smilies that are bigger than those shown....

make the shoutbox height bigger

Yep. You need it heighter anyway to show big smilies in shouts list.

doh...i KNOW that, but then things start gettin a bit ugly, is all i was saying..

Thanks for your work Zero Tolerance; it seems to be working beautifully.

I was wondering, is there a way to make the script check wether new shouts have been posted, before reloading a new batch? I would like to keep the load on the server down to a minimum.

Cheers,
Martin

yeah that would be nice!

Nice hack :)

It will be possible the Shoutbox show alone on an own page in bigger size, if the user klick a button on the normal Shoutbox?
