Can anyone see that smilies are not working in the shoutbox at the bottom of this page?
http://biblocality.com/forums/

I don't even see a shout box :tired:

I just removed it about 30 seconds ago.

How can i chance the refresh time? I want to refresh it in 120 seconds, now it refreshes to fast. Can anyone tell me how to do that? Thank you

I reposted my forum and added back vbshout to show you the smilies are not working http://biblocality.com/forums

Is anyone working on this to fix it?

Also when you look in "Current Active Users" those who are viewing the main forum index page changes to Viewing Shoutbox. That's not quite right.

this hack S high load server

I had it, but uninstalled it after a half day. Posts don't show after clicking submit in safari, you have to manually refresh screen. If things get sorted out I may reinstall.

What does hack S high load server mean?

Any chance with making something like this work with the drupal plug in? I'd cream in my pants if that happened cause I can't figure out how to make it work.

Really good shoutbox, use it on all my pages :)

Now I have one little smally problem :( All my users showup as:
Viewing The Shoutbox
Shoutbox

Is there any way to fix/circumvate this? Because now I can not see what ppl are browsing :)

Thanks in advance! Marvelous product!

thats prolly the only thing actually WRONG with this hack......the WOL issue thats interfering with who`s online

think youll find its a safari issue, and as such, cant see much support for it to be solved..

IE is the browser this works perfectly with...not safari, not firebobbins, or any other...lol

FYI:
If you collapse then expand the shoutbox, it resizes and eliminates the column width issue reported earlier. I'm having a look at the template to see if I can tweak it to eliminate that.

Excellent work, ZT. Easy install, works great.

got major performance hits on the server when the shoutbox is on, when I remove it/turn it off the performance problems go away.

I read more people experiencing this, anybody has any clue how to fix it? Thanks!

this eats up bandwiht like a mofo hehe

Well, I'm not sure what happened, but it was fine for a couple weeks, then BOOM! it stopped working. "Loading..." will sit there or shouts don't appear, etc. Had to disable the product :(

Is there a way to put it on a page that's not the forum index? I love the mod...it just eats up bandwidth when guests, etc view it :(

Disable it for guests, Users Awaiting Email Confimation, etc. That way only a small percentage of whoever's viewing the site is affecting your bandwidth.

that looks cool mate ... Id like to see that right stuff collapsable on its own - so we can chose to minimise that stuff outt he way to make more room for the shouts.

How would I do that?

how would i do a /ban (username)
command? that would really help which only admins could use :D

I too have done this for my site ... go to your 'usergroups' - 'usergroups manager' in your admincp .... then make a note of the group numbers you dont want to view the shoutbox...

ie - unregistered/not logged in - id:1

then go to your vbshout settings in 'vbulletin options' - 'vbshout options' and in the sections called 'Banned Usergroups' add the id of the groups you wanna ban from the boards. ie - 1

if you have numerous groups you dont want to use the shoutbox put there all these numbers in separated with a comma... ie - 1,4,7 then Id suggest you change the next option 'Banned Permissions' to 'can not view shoutbox'.

I think we need to get ZT's attention if we want some changes done ;)

I installed this and on forums home i get:


Fatal error: Cannot redeclare isbanned() (previously declared in /home/SITE/public_html/forums/index.php(459) : eval()'d code:112) in /home/SITE/public_html/forums/index.php(459) : eval()'d code on line 263


when i uninstall this thing i get:

whats goin on here????????


i had to go into phpmyadmin and go into settings, remove shout_ and remove shout from products and shout table. why am i having such a difficult time with these hacks for 350?

My users are reporting that recently, in the last few days, they are being forced to refresh after each shout they make. While this doesnt effect all users (nor me) it is a problem. They are using Firefox and IE, and it used to work fine for them and all of a sudden they all began to experiance the same problem.

It works fine for me in Firefox, so its not a browser related issue.

To fix the smilies, go to your vBulletin options -> User Profile Options and choose yes for Allow Smilies in Signatures, now you have smilies ;)

Great hack

/me installs

This is such a good hack!!!

Is it possible to keep a history of all shouts?

If not, would that be possible in a future version? ;-)

It already keeps it and you can see it by reading the Feature list.

How do you get to the Archive / statistics page?

I can't find it anywhere, and vbshout.php just displays the contents of the shoutbox.

Thanks.

@TJFweb just click shoutbox at the top of the table, I edited mine to show shoutbox/archive

my shoutbox isn't working
every time when i shout there is no reaction in the box
i also can't edit or delete shouts at the shoutbox page :(
can anyone help? :)

I banned usergroup 1 (unregistered/not logged in)
and now as a guest I get this in my shoutbox
Can anyone tell me how to fix?
Thanks in advance.
Un-Banning usergroup 1 for now :)

FAST AND EASY, Thanks man!

Oops I had hacked up the template html before I even had a chance to notice that. Thanks ;-)

The link is
For anyone else looking for it.

how can i set it so onlu super mods and admins can prune ect.?

nice hack... but it cause me high server usage

it works great, one question, how can i edit the languague of the shoutbox?, i mean, i would like to change the text button, for example "Shout" for "Enviar", and so on...can you help me?

I do think the vbshout still causes graphical page display errors in firefox, not just on resize but sometimes on page load, the page is longer horizonatally than it should be, only thing I can track it down to is this shout box.
