You know that "apologies if this has been answered before" or "topic too long for me to read" may look good in a post, but for anyone who follows a topic, what we read is "I'm too lazy to do a proper search for what I want, help me out anyway"? Just a thought. Seeing waay too many posts in this forum lately where someone leads in that way, and I know for a fact that the answer is already here, if you bother to look.

No, the only way I ever got it to work with the vB CMS was by basically shoehorning Valter's entire codebase for the chatbox into one widget (all credit to cory_booth there, thanks for the help, sir). This is however cumbersome, has problems with format and smilies, and of course you have to update it all by hand if the version changes. I was using it this way until the 4.0.3 vB release, which introduced so many CMS bugs that I got fed up with their interface and decided to look elsewhere. Here's what I did:

• Install VSa - Chatbox if you haven't already
• Download vbaCMS from http://www.vbadvanced.com/
• Install vbaCMS
• Disable vBulletin's built-in CMS, if you're using it (CP - Plugins & Products - Plugin Manager, uncheck everything under "Product : vBulletin CMS")
• Create new vbaCMS module
• CP - vBa CMPS - add a new module (type = template)
• Title "Chatbox" (or whatever, doesn't matter)
• Active - yes
• Template to Include: adv_portal_vsa_chatbox
• Style: whichever you're using
• Template Content: {vb:raw vsachatbox}
• Use Module Wrapper Template: no
• Set your usergroup permissions to taste
• Save your module
• Edit chatbox settings (CP - Settings - Options - VSa - ChatBox)
• Show ChatBox on pages: index,adv_index
• Show ChatBox in templates: FORUMHOME,adv_portal
• Save Chatbox settings
• Activate module on vbaCMS portal
• CP - vBa CMPS - Edit Pages - (whatever you've named your portal page)
• Drag your module to where you want it to display in your page in the "Active Modules" section
• Set your usergroup permissions to taste
• Not related to Chatbox, but you might want to tick off the "Add Navbar Link" option to keep your navbar consistent
• Save, take a deep breath, and enjoy!

Setting it up this way makes it active in your vbaCMS portal page and your forum home page. If you don't want it on the forum home page, take out the 'index' option for 'show on pages' in the chatbox settings.

Did anybody have a problem with the shoutbox just displaying "Loading..." on the vba page? It works fine on every other page but this one.
