hi dion,

this is what was suggested on the site u mentioned:
my my.cnf file listed below does not have any of the above variables set



please let me know what u think is the best move

thanks
-ave

i replaced:
with

So I could keep it just for S Mods and admin and it works BUT is there anyway of stopping anyone else from actually viewing it, as its still viewable by all via the direct link mysitename.com\shoutbox.php

I tried setting file permissions to 740 (public cant read, write or excute) but that throws up an error message.

Use PHP's die function, and create a conditional statement at the top of shoutbox.php.

I'm not really sure. I am not exactly a server expert. I think it would be best to contact your hosting provider, or post a message on WHT.

Got db error while uninstalling previous version

Even after removing all uploaded files same problem upon uninstallation

Any help on this one

Thanks

I think I am running your VB Shout 2.0, I am going to upgrade to your 2.1.

Where do you get more smiley options for the shoutbox?

My current version no one can use quotes, " " Can this be fixed?

also, when posting some links in, they get truncated, can you address this?

Thanks!

how can i delete all messages from the shoutbox?

Done and works a treat :up:

Thanks

thank u.. how can i add the arabic font ?

:)

I'm still having the same problem. Every once in a great while. It quits loading the messages, and you have to hit refresh in your browser for it to show up. It does this with all browsers.

I'm guessing you have more than 1 window open on the site?

Also - I don't know about arabic characters. I don't speak it and have never worked with it before in any of my scripts...so I would have to look into it.

nope just one. And it's doing it again right now.

Hate to say it (because I like the features on this one better), but I may revert back to the old one, it never did this.

I was having such result when trying to setup the refresh to 500ms instead of the classic 2000ms... With 2000ms I haven't got such freeze (when having only one window opened).
Don't know if that could help...

Is there a version that will show the forum smiley's so that a user can select a smiley to put in the shoutbox?

It works if you put the code in manually, but then you need to remember each one.

Great App!

Installed! Works perfectly here, exactly what we were looking for!

But some members (incl. 2 other Moderators) don't see the date & time, but see the date like the format string; d-m-y H:i
Any idea what's going wrong?

Yes, that does work, but instead of having to type out the smiley, is there a way to add a little button that you can click the smiley you want?

An old version of a regular shoutbox had that and my users miss it.

I'm running a large board on 2 good servers (one for web and one for database) and even with only about 15-20 simultaneous chatters I see my load going from 0.5 to around 2... I have setup a 2 second delay (default) for messages and 20 max message for the box, any tip to optimize and use less load please?

Where is the config file to fix this?

Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in [path]/shoutbox/shoutshow.php on line 19

Does Not Work. No help. No Support.
I have been asking, and have sent a PM
but no reply for days.
No Support.

LDS, I haven't been around lately. I replied to your PM. Please keep in mind that I work on this project in my spare time and I have been very busy lately. I try and provide the best support I can, but free support for a free script is hard to make time for when I work 12 hours a day.

A donation is on it's way when it gets fixed and works! I don't expect it for free, but I do expect it to work.

Installed, everything seems to be ok...Iam using shoutbox within Vba CMPS
Module shows up, but upon shout nothing is there, msg is not displayed in shoutbox!?

Please advise

Thanks

I'm looking @ it now goxy and it's working ;)

Checking the other stuff you mentioned but it was up all I did was optimize and repair your DB tables.

Edit: NM that was on your live forum lol I was viewing the wrong one, still hmp'd on the testvb :(

Well I will buy one T shirt and print on it "TheLastSuperman"
:D

Thanks mate

I just love VBuleltin.org, guys & girls here are great
Cheers

I still have this problem. Any idea how to fix this? :confused:

Here's a screenshot as well

this looks like an awesome shoutbox.

I am 1 day old on vbulletin administartor/site owner.

I am by no means computer savvy, so I must ask for help.

I do not understand what # 4 and #5 of the following mean?

Can you please help? Thank you

4. upload the entire "shoutbox" folder (DO NOT RENAME IT) to your main vbulletin directory
5. copy and paste the entire contents of "template.txt" into the template you want the shoutbox to show up in

if you want the shoutbox to show at the top of your forum index, go to the FORUMHOME template and find:

"<!-- / guest welcome message -->
<br />
</if>"

and copy and paste the contents of "template.txt" after that.

http://turftopics.com/forums/index.php

4. There's a folder in the zip file named that, simply upload to your server via FTP or a File Manager and like it says, do not rename that folder :D ... BTW this is the same folder on your server where your forums are at, you'll see index.php and the folders tha house all your graphics and other files for vBulletin.

5. There's a file in the zip called Template.txt all you do is copy the code in it and paste into the template you want this to show in so for example if you want this to show on JUST your main forum page go to... Admincp --> Styles & Templates --> Style Manager and select your style, now scroll down and look for the template named FORUMHOME then do this:

NOW no matter what template you out this in copy it before you start and save it somewhere on your desktop, if anything goes wrong go back to that template and paste the original back over the entire code and save and you'll be back to normal and then can come bug us some more :D (J/K about the bugging part)

S-MAN

Superman thank you, I will give it a try.

I renamed that vbulletin "upload" file to "forums"

which is in my "public_html" directory.

Do I put it in the "forums" folder or in the "public_html" directory along with the "forums" folder?

Thank you

hey when I go to style manager and select my style. I do not see a box for FORUMHOME there.

There are 3 boxes with code at the top: header, headinclude, footer


then 1 at the bottom named, Additional CSS Definitions

AdminCP > Styles and Templates > Style Manager and in the dropdown menu for each style you have, there should be a selection that says "Edit Templates"

WOW, thanks guys I got it!!!


Except one little problem, I get this inside the shoutbox area

http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...tbox_error.jpg

What now?

Just like the error said, you're missing the file in forum/shoutbox/shoutdiv.php

upload that file to that location and you should be good. Might be a good idea to make sure all the other files have been uploaded to the proper location as well

Sir you absolutly rock. I got it and it is working.

Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dont go far though, I will be lurking, looking for new cool stuff, which will create more questions from me.

THANK YOU!!!

ok, just found out that the Shoutbox will not work on the newest upgrades for the IPHONE. Any reasons why not?

NOTE: I phone uses Safari web browser.

I have 17 members and all can use the shoutbox but 1.

I have checked everything I know. What could the problem be?

Thank you.

I have installed this. Just curious as to if there is a way to make it show up on every page? Thanks!

I'm going to be releasing a new version soon that should fix some of the problems a couple people have been having.

hello

can some help me to get this shoutbox like center module for VB cmps ... what must to do with code from text file? (will make like template module)

regards

macc

First of all, thank you very much for providing this neat shoutbox! :)
I discovered an issue within Safari4 on MacOSX - the colors in the dropdown-box are not shown, just white spaces.
