lol, nope it didn`t, I` have even De-installed and Re-installed and nothing. What the hell could it be. Bellow is a picture of the what i`m getting.

Still need help please.

Sucessfully installed but crashed my server two nights in a row. Uninstalled.

Along w/ the question of how much server load it causes...is there a way to slow down the shouts a member makes? Like x secs between shouts, sort of like the vb's search feature? That would probably prevent shout abuse.

I know it's possible to ban abusers...but I prefer to moderate the amount of shouts instead of just ban people.

works great on my site... great hack ZT :)

Anyone know how to add the smilies and font color/changes in the CMPS home VBSHOUT?

question if you type in http://www.yoursite.com/vbshout.php then you can see the shoutbox just in plain text how can that be stopped?

Is there any way to embed the shoutbox into an iframe/something so I can display it on a seperate page?

although a superior modification, there should be a warning to the HUGE HUGE HUGE amount of bandwidth (transfer) this script utilizes

why do you say that i havent seen it use to much? although i do see on my server it keeping connections open...

As for bandwidth, I've set this to all but unregistered users and banned.
I've had more people visit, more spiders, yet my bandwidth seems untouched compared to other months. Maybe I'm missing something. For me it doesn't use much bandwidth.

Just some information for those who board may be big or is continuing to grow

My board is only accessable by registered members, permissions set and therefore the only time the shoutbxo ever loads is when a registered member logs in.

I have a fairly active board, not to large, however I typically have between 30-60 members online at all times. I do not use that shoutbox on all pages mod, used it for one day and my bandwidth usage sored. I typically use 600-900 Megs of bandwidth each day (not that I only have a vbulletin board on my account, no other scripts, images, or files) and when I have the shoutbox enabled my bandwidth sores to around 4 to 5 gigs a day.

It's gotten so bad that this week I decided to only enable the chat from 5PM to Midnight. However the bandwidth still reaches 2.5 Gigs.

I'm not complaining about this mod, I think it's an excellent concept. I just need someway to decrease the bandwidth usage.

see if you open your browser you can view the shouts without even going to site...

yea, but hte point was that guests and web crawlers are not depelting ANY bandwidth dealing with the shoutbox what do ever, it's only members. Puts a strain on the account so I'll hate to see how board with more then 100 members on at all times fair. They would have to be using at least 20 gigs a day, the bare least.

hmmm i have about 75 new members a day and my whole server with other accounts on it only has used 35 gbs to date which aint bad cause i get 2000 a month... but i dont see it using to much... just keeps alot of open connections thats all

PLEASE HELP!

I am going to upgrade to vb3.5 and would like to switch to this shoutbox instead installed BVShoutboxFull, but I do not want to loose history and specialy statistic (top shouterst etc.).

Is this any compatible? Can I /export/import shouts?
Thank you!!!

just to add above, appriciate the other side of the argument, my shoutbox is used all the time, nearly every minute there is a new comment, more then that, conversations typically occur in the shoutbox for extensive periods. Maby at least 10 LARGE scale conversations a day lasting at least 30 minutes each. Point is, my shoutbox is being used by many members, all the time, that can be one difference.

Zero Tolerance is there a way to stop users not logged in from opening that page?vbshout.php also would be nice if there was a way to clear shouts faster....

How would i be able to install new fonts on the shoutbox? :P :P

The last time he posted in this thread was August. Doesn't look like he's supporting this mod, so asking him directly in this thread for help or info is likely not to get answered. A shame too considering how good the shoutbox is and the potential it has/had. I suggest someone try and pick this up from him.

Aw, Simple question 2, That sucks badly

im going to write him and see lol whats the worse he can say i dont support it no more...

hi installed and working great,the only problem i have is when i go to who's online it shows user in Viewing The Shoutbox,where is it used to show users in Viewing forum index,but if a member browses the other forums it shows there location properly,how can i fix this?so if a user is using shoutbox it shows and if a member is viewing index in the who's online,i can supply screen shot if needed

same here I was wondering why the most people are viewing the shoutbox,
another question, anybody know where I can change the phrase "viewing the shoutbox" into another language?
Thanks

I just decreased the size of hte vbshout.php file from around 16k to just under 4k
I also decreased the template a.. section by more then 60% by removing any instance of smilies.

So i'll see how this holds up for a day, if there is an extremly significant decrease in bandwidth usaged i'll post the resulting files up.

have you read the previous posts in this thread regarding that? I've posted about it, as well as others.

How do grant permission to a mod to moderate shouts?

i started reading thru posts 56 pages take some getting thru,i better start reading instead of being lazy lol.

Rickie3 thanks for taking the time and posting it...

no probs,i just got to learn to read more lol

Guys, I made a goof when I made a small edit in the .xml to re-upload, however forgot to uninstall it first to overwrite this plugin and screwed up my database :

How do I safely remove this table from mysql?

lol yeah but there is alot of pages on this one too read...

can you access your admin and try to uninstall,then upload the plugin again and overwrite

No, it is no longer there as an "Installed Product", so it's now written to mysql, however I have no idea how to edit/remove it.

I have installed this along with the vbadvanced CMPS add-on..
How do I only show this in my CMPS but not anywhere in my forums.

would this work wid VB3.5.1

yes it does im running it now..

I ended up dropping the table in mysql, and then reinstalled the .xml file and it worked like a charm.

ahhhhh good stuff glad you fixed it

Hey guys, I just found this hack and LOVE it but I was wondering if there was any type of flood protection? Basically I dont want someone posting constantly like every second. I was hoping to set it to like 30 seconds or 45 seconds between shouts... is this possible? I read through most of the 50 plus pages but didnt see anything... Thanks in advance!
