Thanx for all the help everyone. I've updated the ZIP file, and there are a few extra stuff in the install file now. (Credits, Users Online fix [modified so it shows viewing shoutbox when viewing the archive, and viewing index when on the index])

Very Cool .

If anyone cares, in order to make this 100% XHTML 1.0 Verified, you'll need to edit FORUMHOME:

Find:
Replace with:
* NOTE: '' border="0" '' is removed, as it's not valid for <iframe> -- hence why it fails the XHTML 1.0 Validation.

* TIP: Use http://validator.w3.org/ to verify your site for XHTML 1.0.

thnx, i forgot to check for xhtml errors

Edit:

Lets just say I need glasses and we'll leave it at that. >.>

how about how to stick it on the side

I installed this on VB3 RC2 and it works great :)

@Black Vivi:

Could you add the feature that I can define (maybe in shoutbox.php) a user/mod with userid and this user has the possibility to delete entries directly with an "delete"-link under each shout-entry?

Best Regards

Sebastian

Went well ty v much but id like to move the shout box from the top to the bottom under

Mark Forums Read View Forum Leaders

How would i do this

in FORUMHOME

find
Add Under that the shoutbox code

i have to ask two thing from you Black Vivi

1. i would like the delete a shout in the shoutbox.php in the shout

2. like the other shoutbox that linksomething has made
it is like yours but he has more options
but i only want one of them
a ban user from shoutbox, that would be helpful
some thing that i can pick what usergroup can use the ban a user from shoutbox as well

You mean I made that converter for you and you aren't even going to use it? Peh...

Stick what on the side?

Thanks for the suggestion, I will add this soon.

1. See the answer for the question above.

2. Yes, I'll be adding this aswell.

I consider both your posts in this thread to be advertising your shoutbox.
Cuold you stop it please.


The next version should be out soon, hopefully by the time vB3 is released.

I am assuming that when an invisible user posts in SB their handle doesn't appear?

Was just gonna ask about this. I had the same problem...

I saw this too , was trying to find how to stop them from posting ?

To me, that's a huge bummer because the userid is not even recorded in the database. There is absolutely no trace of who posted the text.

I would love for this hack to have either:

1. Cut off the ability for the invis users to use the SB
or
2. At least log the true userid in the database.

I am leaning towards #1 as being a better and cleaner solution though.

Hrm, I (as well as the rest of my mod-team) are always invisible, yet the users can see our username's just fine in the SB.

Any idea how to make the SB unusuable to a moderated group for example?

thnx for the suggestions and telling me about the invis users
i'll try and fix it in a while

ethics, that'll be in the next version, which shud hopefully be out tomorrow, if im not doing nethin else

Great hack, BV! I love it. Is there any way though to do mass post deletes? Thanks!

any word on the next update

the next version shud be done soon, iv only got the installer to make, and fix the users with no names thing

i think its not invis users posting, its guests shouting somehow, because iv had invisible users try shouting, and their names show up
if not then it might not be released today

sorry

[edit]
found out it is members :(

Any way to disable mouse scrolling in the shoutbox? My mouse gets caught in it when scrolling down the forum.....

Im running vb3 rc2 I went through the entire install and having a problem . There is nothing showing up in my forum . Does anyone have any info on why this could happen ?

In mysqladmin, what should it look like what was added ? This was the only part that I had some trouble since I dont use it often .

I posted a screen shot for you to see , maybe I did it wrong ..

Most excellent and no rush on my end. Thanks very much for this hack.

ok It is in the admincp although the setting arent there . Heres a screen shot ..

jaliam, First I want to thank you for helping me out with this . It is appreciated .

Yes i did have access to the shoutbox.php and I tested it with a shout and it worked . Although I'm a little confused about how to get it to show on the index.php page of the forums ?

Does it need to be put in the header of the site somehow?

Now when I go to the admincp I see the shout I made and I am able to edit or delete the shout .

^

i think this is what your talking about?

Monstergamer thanks for the response . I went in and reverted back and then did this again and I still do not see the window for the shoutbox on my main vb page or an option to get to shoutbox.php .. I must have something mixed up ?? Anyone ??

^

so you dont see it on which index?
the forumhome index or the other index

can someone please tell me how to make the forumhome shoutbox part like this?

http://www.xyphen.com/~xtreme-f/index.php?styleid=2

There is no way for members to get to it .. There is nothing showing on the main page of Vb .. when your looking at the forums theres nothing there . and theres no button for it .. I was wondering how I would set it up so it would show it .
