The posistioning of the shoutbox is done by searching for textstrings in the Forumhome template and adding the $shoutbox variable to them.
For example: If you set the box to be under the "What's going on" box, the script will look for the sting "<!-- end what\'s going on box -->" and put the shoutbox under it. If you've edited your templates in one or more styles and removed that line, the shoutbox will not appear. |
ahhh ok.. I didn't edit the new styles at all... I added a new style last week and the shoutbox was just there... I didn't do anything at all. With this set.. it wasn't and I panicked. lol... thank you, I'll go look!

S@NL.... below is the FORUMHOME template code for one of the styles that the shoutbox DOES show up in... and i can't find a shoutbox string in there anywhere.

HI ZT
Is there away to get this to show whilst browsing the whole of the forum, I am using this just for my staff and they want it to show all over :) Please?? |
when i tried this, mine diappeared, any ideas anyone?
|
Ohiosweetheart, you won't find the $shoutbox in your forumhome template.
It is added by the plugin, everytime you open the forumhome page. If you look at the code of the plugin "vBShout [Template Alteration]" in your admincp you will see what textstrings are used to position the box. Bashy, I think the shoutbox will appear wherever you put $shoutbox in your templates. |
This is all i need to add is this where i want ???
Code:
$shoutbox |
awesome! i love it
thanks one thing, so i know in the future. how can i "Clear the shoutbox ARCHIVE completely" ? does the /prune kill the archive also? |

Haven't tried it for myself though. I'm ok with the box on forumhome only ;) |
anyone please?
