If someone with vBSEO and the shoutbox could give us access to their ACP/FTP so we can debug, that would be great. PM the information to Zero Tolerance please ^.^

Is it possible to upgrade from older versions (namely 2.0.2) and keep the existing posts?

Let me re-phrase that, will it be possible to do it with the pro version?

is the Pro version going to be commercial (paid)? if so, release it asap :D I have little trust to free scripts

I really need this!

I am using blak_ice from simplegraphix. Anything you can do to help me would be fantastic

ShoutBox Refinement Suggestions

* Automatic template insertion

To automate things and make things easier for those who want it simple,
make the ShoutBox by default place itself on the template, as you did
with your previous versions. You can leave the current option in for those
who wish to display the ShoutBox on multiple pages.

* Allow the tab color to be modified per skin. Issue:

Fine looking: http://img376.imageshack.us/img376/3919/sb1mv8.png
Bad looking: http://img376.imageshack.us/img376/1759/sb2sz6.png
More bad looking: http://img467.imageshack.us/img467/3475/sb3gv9.png

* Thread notice privileges

Make it so that user who are privileged to see threads of forums they can access,
see the notice only in the ShoutBox. I know you told me it requires a lot of processing,
for this I suggest an option to configure the refresh time as well.

You dealt with the activity moving to ShoutBox instead of forums issue very well!
Now if you fix this, it will be perfect. If I would have to use the current system to deal with this
I would have to configure half my community to not display thread notices in the shoutbox.

---

As for everything else, this is the best modification out there.

I can't wait for the paid version, I will get it nonetheless since you done such a good job.
Keep it up, I hope these issues can get fixed, then it will practically be 100% perfect.

EDIT

* Active users display bug

Alright, you can get a live example of this bug at my website.

Move from ShoutBox to active users and you'll see this:
http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/1188/sb4zy9.png

Move back to ShoutBox tab, and back to Active Users and it will display how it should then:
http://img376.imageshack.us/img376/7803/sb5xv6.png

It's not displaying correct from the first time, it will when you switch back to ShoutBox, and back to active users.

* URL issues

I suggest you maybe change the URLs applied to usernames who shout in the ShoutBox.

Right now the link applied to each user is:
http://www.x-devs.com/member.php?u=

Another Edit

* Disappearing text

After being idle for a while, all the text in the ShoutBox is disappearing except for the last posted one:
http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/3506/sb7xc0.png

When I refresh the page, it all appears again, but after a while goes invisible again:
http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/1996/sb8dw4.png

And More Edit

* Post notices link

I think it would be convenient to make the post notice link, go to the last post in the thread. Each time I click it now, I have to manually go to the last page myself to check the last post, having the link being automatically the last post would be much more convenient.

* Shoutbox / Active Users link

Right now the link configured on the text is the website's URL. As this serves no meaning to have it linked to the actual website (although if you click it, it even won't visit it, just display the shoutbox, or active users), why not have it just blanked out, or put a # in it?

* VBSeo support

I would really appreciate it, if you somehow add support for VBSeo to your modification, either directly, or add instructions in the first thread. I myself do not know how to do this for this version, however for your previous versions somebody posted instructions on the VBSeo forum:

http://www.vbseo.com/f2/vbshout-2-1-a-6809/#post40094

Maybe from this example, you could add support for your current version? (Maybe insert a feature, a "Do you have VBSeo installed on your community" "Yes" No" option to include this support, with the pro version or so :)?).

Thanks for this ZT, I'm glad to see you releasing here again. I'll give it a go.

Edit:

ok seems to have an issue with special charicters when posting info on a thread posted...

"*Roxy posted the thread Wait, what? R. Kelly describing himself as today's MLK & Ali*"

Also is there a way to increase the default font size and color of the tabs?

Let me know if access to a vBSEO forum has been given so you guys can debug, if not i'll send over my info anyway

I stand up , and clap my hands...

Thanks !

Is this working with vbseo yet? Cant wait to install it!

I don't want the shoutbox on the portal, so I didn't upload the files to the root directories.
Still, the plugins are loaded, which causes PHP errors because the files are non-existent.

The portal is Cyber-Phreaks PortalPHP, which was created by me and has not been publicly released as of yet. It's basic PHP, including vBulletin variables and plugins.


If the shoutbox is only to be displayed on forumhome, why is it queried on other pages?

Working fine here, yet you have to modify this plugin to make the links change to the rewritten urls. You can ask help for this at the VBSeo forums.

Also, the shoutbox is not valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional.

You need to change:
To:
Or alternatively add an action, I suppose.

Yes me too.

And suggestion for Inferno Tech for the Pro version:

- Editable text (from ACP) that users who are banned from shoutbox/are not allowed to see shoutbox see.

I currently have vbshout 2.0 which shows "Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /vbshout.php on line 288" if your'e not allowed to see shoutbox.

I have however edited vbshout.php with a help of coder on my board to display a message. But I couldn't do it myself.

And since you already said flood control will be option in pro version I don't have to mentiopn that.. :p

Sure thing, here's the URL: http://zeldadimension.net/forums/

Oh, and for some reason, only one of our members' ID is placed in their URL. Whether it's relevant, or not, they are an "invisible" member (meaning that only Moderators, and Administrators can see them).

Thank you very much for the hack, ZT! :D

for anyone wondering how to turn off new thread/post alerts, go into the plugin manager and disable the "Inferno Shoutbox: User Posted New Thread, and "Inferno Shoutbox: User Replies To Thread" plug ins.

awesome thanks!

Looking good! I can't use this because I have vbSEO. If you still need access to debug, PM me please.

Also, how much will the Pro version cost?

Thanks!

yeah look forward to the pro version even tho im happy with the current shoutbox i have installed ^^

Hello,

I've installed the mod and it works fine, except for these two problems.

1st - No portuguese caracthers, i.e., i cannot write olá, just ola

2nd - No active links on shout, just code as in the attached picture

Can you please help me ?

Thank's,

KK

Can someone help me to find what i need to put in forumdisplay template to make available the shoutbox only in the admin subforum?
i don't know what "if condition" to use to make it...

No problem. Done it! :)
I write it here:

in forumhomedisplay template put:
<if condition="($foruminfo[forumid]==XXX)">
<!--{%SHOUTBOX%}-->
</if>

XXX = id forum

Another question: can i exclude in all forums new posts/reply notification without putting all forums id?

tri@de, nudda made a suggestion on how to do this at the top of this page

this thing is nice but its really wide on my forum for some reason...

Could I suggest a notice for new calendar events, user registrations, forum / shoutbox statistics and possibly even shoutcast / icecast stream titles and statistics as well? Notices should be programable and configurable of course and it would also be interesting I think to be able to add shoutbox post counts to forumhome...

Did you ever work on it so that it will work on the blak-ice template? I really would like to get thos working very much

thankyou everyone for your suggestions and marco we are checking the template to see the problem

hi
worked in 3.6.7 ?

In the portal's .PHP file, I'm guessing your page title (THIS_SCRIPT) indicates that it equals "index". Therefore, your portal is being referred to by the shoutbox. Simply change your portals title from "index" to something else, like "portal" for example.

id be very excited to get this. another suggestion would be to post when a member gets high score in arcade.... will this show on all pages if put in navbar ?

I will say that since installing this one over the flat file one originally posted on vborg, I've had a huge increase in db connection errors.

mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: User d8tabyte_db has already more than 'max_user_connections' active connections /home/public_html/forum/includes/class_core.php on line 273

I went from having maybe one - two a day to getting over 30. Ive even disabled the thread and reply posting in the box.

Need an option to have new posts show up at the bottom.

I like the mod..
Before i install on a live site, anyone can give feedback on server loads? I have a dedicated VPS with a medium sized vbulletin community(150+ users online at all times) The approx server loads are usually around 1.5-2.0. Would it be ok to run this along with some of the features turned off?(like new posts, threads notification)

yeah im still thinking it the flatfile or this one would be better for server load (keeping the kickout time low of course)

Bug m8 when you mouse over the username that has shouted it shows no userid to load profile.
