The feature wasn't designed to make a noise when you enter a shout - consider it as similar to an Instant Messaging program - it makes a noise to alert you a message has been posted/received, Theres no practical reason to make a noise when you enter one... You know you entered one, you're the one who done it haha. =P

I installed the updated version today, but I when I try and upload the XML file, I get this...

"C:\Inetpub\vhosts\mortalkombatempires.com\httpdoc s\forum/dbtech/vbshout/install/install/5000.php is missing!"

I know I installed the upload files.

There is a problem, see:

Thanks for the upgrade and the new features.. very cool :)

I've just downloaded and installed, and I've seen a few errors already..

1. The shoutbox defaults to idle after a refresh.. this is really annoying :(
2. A refresh defaults to the main shoutbox rather than the chatroom you were in.
3. No output appears until AFTER you have made an entry of your own.
4. Getting dbase errors : Invalid SQL:
   
   SELECT chatroomid, user.username
   FROM dbtech_vbshout_chatroommember AS vbshout
   LEFT JOIN user AS user ON(user.userid = vbshout.invitedby)
   WHERE vbshout.userid = 1
   AND status = 0;
   
   MySQL Error : Unknown column 'vbshout.invitedby' in 'on clause'
   Error Number : 1054
   

Oh yes, I see there is a VB38 XML install file too? so this is cool for VB3.8??

Any suggestions appreciated..

I have no idea how or why that happens =/
There's really nothing I can do about it either, if I take those checks out then the XML might not even import for you, and it'll break for everyone who didn't upload those files...

Is Safe Mode enabled in your php.ini? Anything else you can tell me about your config that would help figure this out?

Instance Manager -> Edit Permissions -> uncheck Is Auto Idle for all usergroups that shouldn't have this.

No way of fixing this, it's not for certain the chatroom exists after a refresh (could have been wiped, etc).

Side-effect of the new AOP system. Did you CHMOD /dbtech/vbshout/aop directory to 0777? I forgot to add it to the main readme file, sorry :(

That probably only happened while you were upgrading.
If not, run

Indeed :)

Hi all, I installed this great hack, and I have three questions that are not can be solved if:

The first is that the background color where red is written out, I like to write with red, but then barely visible letters.

The second is that if it's possible to change the font size, and can not find the option.

And the latest is that when you're not in the chat, if you do nothing get a message: "Notice: You are currently showing up as idle. Click here to summarizing activity."
Would it be possible to translate into my language Spanish?, Because I can not find the words.

That's it, otherwise it seems an excellent product.

Regards.

I'm not quite sure what you're saying here, but in v5 the templates changed so that it's using the same background colour as the postbit.

Revert any customised vBShout templates and / or the vBShout CSS file.

This is a feature in the Pro version :)

At this time, it's not possible to translate that. I'm looking into making it translatable in the future, though :)

Ah OK, I thought that was to have them go into idle mode after a while..

Could it not check if it exists? :)

I changed perms on the AOP *FILE*, not the directory.. Doh!! Working fine now!

I think you're right there too :)


:up:

Thanks for the speedy and helpful response, much appreciated!

Nah it's to set idle when you first load the page.
Good thing to do for guests if you have a busy forum with lots of guests but want to show off the Shoutbox feature, that way they don't take up resources needlessly :)

Yeah but it's not the only problem that feature poses, it was just an example.
I'll investigate it further for a future version though :)

Team is having a blast with this Hack good job... . * * * * * 5 stars :up: from OSS
