Hi there I reinstalled you the update with the hotfix and it works perfect. I love this shout box and we will be going pro after the club has it's elections.

Hey, I already have a chatbox on my forumhome and I wanted to add this chatbox in a different part of my website, and I was wondering what best way of going about doing this would be.

I read on page 30 something it was mentioned this mod can be relocated in other areas using the Pro version. What are those areas? If it will allow me to move the shoutbox inside any of my forums I will get the pro version.

With the shoutbox only displayed on the forumhome page is a huge downfall to this mod. It would be great to have the ability to put it with in any forum. And it would be even better if it could be set so that the same shoutbox showed in each requested forum. I would think this would be easier to do then having separate shoutboxes.

Btw, I read through all the details for the Pro version and nowhere did it mention anything about the ability to have the shoutbox in other areas.

To put vBShout in a custom location, do the following:


Step 1: AdminCP -> DBTech - vBShout-> Instance Management -> [Edit].

Step 2: Change the Auto-Display Shoutbox setting to Disabled.

Step 3: Write down the the Varname setting. For the default shoutbox, it's instance1. The rest of this guide will assume you replace instance1 with the actual Varname if it is different.

Step 4: Enter the Style Manager and add either {vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1} (vB4) or {$show[vbshout_instance1]} (vB3) to the templates you wish the shoutbox to appear in.


Follow these steps as described and you will have total control over the position of the Shoutbox.
Please note that some locations may not work as intended on vBulletin 3.8, and also note that it is not designed to go in the Forum Blocks side-bar (vBulletin 4).

Hope that helps :)

Thank you very much for the info. Can you also include the necessary code to add the shoutbox to any given forum?

Wrap it in

I have created a new instance for a private forum. I have 1 instance at forumhome that is available to all members. This new instance I can add the to the private forum but get this:

Attachment 132825

Stuck on loading, and above the navbar. What do I need to do to have it display below the navbar in the forum and not stay on loading. The main instance works fine with the box checked for display below navbar. The new instance has to be put in a custom location. Although if I check display below navbar it will display as another instance on forumhome but does work.

Please describe the exact location you inserted the code from the previous post.

At the top of forumdisplay:

{vb:raw show.vbshout_instance2}
<vb:if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == xx">
</vb:if>

Edit: Didnt wrap. Did and good. Works fine.

<vb:if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == xx">
{vb:raw show.vbshout_instance2}
</vb:if>

Put it just below
{vb:raw announcebits}
</vb:if>

For those wondering.
