Great mod, thank you.
I use it on custom vbulletin page, but noticed that chat javascript and css are included in header on "non chat" pages as well (home, threads, forums..etc).
Do you have any hint how to disable it on all vbulletin page except custom created page/template where I use chat?

That's not possible at this time, sorry.

Fillip

Thanks Fillip. :)
Now I have very strange problem, shouts are not displayed if right displaying area/frame have scrollbar, need to manually refresh page to see new shots or my shot.
If scrollbar is not present shots are displayed correctly.
Do you have any idea about this problem?

I've added a hotfix for the issue with messages not appearing :)


Fillip

You are great, works perfect, thanks man! :)

I uploaded this some time ago did not import xml file. I just uploaded this latest, installed the product, and ran the vbshoutimport.php script to convert from my inferno and received this error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function datamanager_init() on a non-object in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/bulletinboard/admincp/vbshoutimport.php on line 135.

What next? Thank you!

Hi there,

Sorry about that, the importer isn't compatible with the latest version. If you re-post this issue @ www.dragonbyte-tech.com, we'll look into getting it fixed :)

6.2.15 is a quick XML update to resolve an issue where the SB could get stuck loading.

Fillip

Hi,

I've downloaded the plugin today and installed it on a forum running 3.8.6 but am receiving the error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home/pesgam/public_html/dbtech/vbshout/includes/global.php on line 77

I tried completely uninstalling, re-downloading and reinstalling but have the exact same issue. Any ideas?

Hi there,

Could you please upgrade your version of PHP to 5.4 or newer? Older versions of PHP are no longer supported by The PHP Group and should not be used as they have potential security vulnerabilities.

Thanks!

Fillip

I'm using your latest vBShout for vB3.8.9 PL1 but I have this issue: http://prnt.sc/d2cb23 it worked fine the first time I installed it, however after doing a hard refresh on my browser (Google chrome) it became like that...
I did try to disable it and then enable it, but that didn't work, so I uninstalled and installed over 3 times and still not working..

It happens on all styles (even default one) after the hard refresh. (CTRL + F5)

That can happen if you have the Force IE mode (or something like that) enabled in vB3's settings, and you're using a more modern version of IE.


Fillip

I can't find it, this is what I have: http://prntscr.com/d35s7o
I played with 'Send Internet Explorer 7 Compatibility Header' Yes and No but results are still the same.

Thanks for help tho, any other suggestions?

In that case I need an FTP and AdminCP account to look into it further.

Fillip

I sadly cannot provide that because I had hired someone to make sure only I can access the server root/ftp whatever since my website is the target of a crapload of hackers it will take for him until monday to get it done (since he doesn't work on weekends or weekdays 6pm+).

However, I can provide you with anything you want (such as logs, etc).

I really love how fast you reply :), if we get it working I might upgrade to pro.

Sadly this is not something I can diagnose remotely so we'll have to wait for Monday then :)


Fillip

This is very sad, everyday I wait, I'm losing money. :(

I thought CloudFlare was the issue, but also that is not the issue.
It's very weird, I haven't edited any file/template.

The thing that confuses me is that it worked fine the first time I installed it, then I did a hard refresh to get my logo to update and boom it started like that..

Using vb 3.8.4 pl2. Any ideas why my AdmicCP displays the following duplicated functions?

DBTech - vBShout +
Instance Management
Chat Room Management
Instance Management
View Banned Users
Chat Room Management

The text colors / font options menu are expanded when I access the forum and when I move from forumhome and back. I'd prefer they were not. Finally, can I change the font color on the timestamp? Thank you!

The alternating colors option isn't working, any ideas? Again, thanks.

Check your /includes/xml folder, the files beginning with cpnav_ - do you have multiple vBShout entries there?


Fillip

Thanks Fillip, that was it:up:. Had duplicate files dated back to 2010 for cpnav_vbshout.xml. Cleaned out the hooks also. Much appreciated.
Can you address my other questions? Again, thank you!
Ken

I don't understand this, sorry. Can you elaborate?

This is controlled by the rest of the colour options.

Have you tested this in a default (unmodified) style?


Fillip

"I don't understand this, sorry. Can you elaborate?"
The font and color menus are open, rather than closed, showing the expanded options when I log into the forum or move to a subforum and back to the forumhome page. In other words, within this reply I have text color options. I have to click the box to expand the color options. In my shoutbox, that box is already expanded the first time I log in.

"This is controlled by the rest of the colour options."
I've been looking in the files that control color options, but have been unable to locate the code that specifies the timestamp color. I have managed to change other background and popup menu colors.

"Have you tested this in a default (unmodified) style?"
I am using the default and the only modifications are related to color, style (rounded corners and shadows). No skins.

I really appreciate the quick response. Thank you!

Ken

That is not default vBulletin functionality, some other mod is probably causing a conflict here.

Sorry, I mean that when you change colour of the shouts, the timestamp changes colour too. There is no separate colour for timestamps, IIRC.

Yeah, that's why I said "unmodified", since if you've customised the skin colours, that also potentially. affects the alternate colours in the Shoutbox :)

Specifically, the alt1 and alt2 StyleVars.


Fillip

Thanks Fillip. Took care of the alternating colors issue in styles. The timestamp color shows in my vb excepting in the shoutbox. I'll look further into that to find whats effecting it. That's the only issue I have to resolve. I had the old Inferno Pro installed. So far I like this new shoutbox functionality. Though I can't move the editorbar up beside the input box, I did adjust the text input box dimension to the height I wanted and that works just fine.
Again, thanks for your assistance, much appreciated!
Ken
