Hi there I reinstalled you the update with the hotfix and it works perfect. I love this shout box and we will be going pro after the club has it's elections.

Hey, I already have a chatbox on my forumhome and I wanted to add this chatbox in a different part of my website, and I was wondering what best way of going about doing this would be.

I read on page 30 something it was mentioned this mod can be relocated in other areas using the Pro version. What are those areas? If it will allow me to move the shoutbox inside any of my forums I will get the pro version.

With the shoutbox only displayed on the forumhome page is a huge downfall to this mod. It would be great to have the ability to put it with in any forum. And it would be even better if it could be set so that the same shoutbox showed in each requested forum. I would think this would be easier to do then having separate shoutboxes.

Btw, I read through all the details for the Pro version and nowhere did it mention anything about the ability to have the shoutbox in other areas.

To put vBShout in a custom location, do the following:


Step 1: AdminCP -> DBTech - vBShout-> Instance Management -> [Edit].

Step 2: Change the Auto-Display Shoutbox setting to Disabled.

Step 3: Write down the the Varname setting. For the default shoutbox, it's instance1. The rest of this guide will assume you replace instance1 with the actual Varname if it is different.

Step 4: Enter the Style Manager and add either {vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1} (vB4) or {$show[vbshout_instance1]} (vB3) to the templates you wish the shoutbox to appear in.


Follow these steps as described and you will have total control over the position of the Shoutbox.
Please note that some locations may not work as intended on vBulletin 3.8, and also note that it is not designed to go in the Forum Blocks side-bar (vBulletin 4).

Hope that helps :)

Thank you very much for the info. Can you also include the necessary code to add the shoutbox to any given forum?

Wrap it in

I have created a new instance for a private forum. I have 1 instance at forumhome that is available to all members. This new instance I can add the to the private forum but get this:

Attachment 132825

Stuck on loading, and above the navbar. What do I need to do to have it display below the navbar in the forum and not stay on loading. The main instance works fine with the box checked for display below navbar. The new instance has to be put in a custom location. Although if I check display below navbar it will display as another instance on forumhome but does work.

Please describe the exact location you inserted the code from the previous post.

Fillip

At the top of forumdisplay:

{vb:raw show.vbshout_instance2}
<vb:if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == xx">
</vb:if>

Edit: Didnt wrap. Did and good. Works fine.

<vb:if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == xx">
{vb:raw show.vbshout_instance2}
</vb:if>

Put it just below
{vb:raw announcebits}
</vb:if>

For those wondering.

Hello ,

How do you make the shoutbox look like this --> http://screensnapr.com/v/dvaIII.png

no shouter name,date and on top no shoutbox,active users: tabs and you still can shout anonymously with links .. how to do it this way .. thanks .

Hello. I use this shoutbox good but I would like to apply some modifications. When I click on bold, italic, underline, I become bold, italic, underline all the posts I've written. I would like instead to turn into bold, italic, underline only a single message and not all. Same thing for the font type and color.

Thanks to all and congratulations for the mod. Sorry for my English.

That cannot be done with this Shoutbox without extensive customisations, which we can't support or give instructions for :(

You will need to manually type the BBCode, as the buttons are indeed only intended for use to do what you describe.


Fillip

And how can I do? I wanted to make sure that if I click on the button I get the bold code [b] [/ b]

Thank s

Very nice

Upgraded to 5.4.7. Context menu is not showing. Have it enabled, but when I click on the username in the shout, it goes straight to user profile. Used to be able to select PM, profile etc. Suggestions?

You can't.
We're considering making it so right clicking the button will insert the BBCode, but that will have to be for a future version :)

Please revert any customised templates, flush any cache systems like vB Optimise and do a hard refresh (Ctrl+F5) in your browser.

The context menu is working fine in 5.4.7 :)


Fillip

vBShout v5.4.8
Fix: Upgrade issues to v5.4.7 have all been addressed, and upgrades from earlier versions should now go more smoothly
Fix: Any un-recorded hotfixes since the last version released.
Change: The products now support the Product URL and Version Check features of the vBulletin Product Manager

Fillip

I updated to v5.4.8 but I did not see the clear way to add the shoutbox to any forum. Other then that thanks for sticking with this cool mod! :up:

This update went smoothly!
BTW is it still supposed to say 5.4.7 on the forums?
It shows the right version under plugin managed.

Whoops, forgot to update that version number :p

I'll update the zips in a moment :)


Fillip

hi
what is new in 5,4,8 ? i have 5.4.8
tnx

Fillip

Can one of you please tell me how I can get my shoutbox to appear when I go to "New Posts"?
I am suppose to put this somewhere but I don't know where {vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1}
Any help would be much appreciated.

You'll need to figure out what templates are loaded on that page, I don't know that either unfortunately :(


Fillip

Hey Fillip, I was looking in the navbar template trying to figure out where I am suppose to enter the {vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1}. Could you tell me if it looks like I'm even in the right place and if I am could you please tell me exactly where I should put that code so the shoutbox will list on the "New Posts' forums as well as the main forum page. Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm getting this error everytime "/home/repris7/public_html/forum/dbtech/vbshout/includes/class_install.php appears to be missing!"

When i check what i downloaded it doesn't have a class_install.php file

any ideas anyone?

Hey, great mod and my community is loving it so far. One question, I can't find the css to change the highlight color, right now it is a dark grey which makes the highlighted text unreadable and I want to just use a hex value for a soft yellow or something, I think the class to edit it is dbtech_vbshout_message_frame in the dbtech_vbshout_frames template, but I don't know how to get the highlight class to take a different color...

Here are the current contents of that template.
Here's a screenshot of the current highlighting situation. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello and thank you here I have a concern I can not run at the sound sends me thank you for Schat

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/09/19.png

Please try reinstalling, as that's not an error that I can fix unfortunately :(

Sorry, I'm unable to tell you specifics. I only create the method of placing the Shoutbox anywhere, I unfortunately don't have the time to teach everybody who asks exactly where to place the Shoutbox code to suit their specific needs.

Please delete any downloaded zips and re-download them, then use WinRAR to extract the file instead of whatever unzip program you were using previously. The file does indeed exist in the specified location :)

Look for highlight in the StyleVar settings for your skin :)

If you are having problems with sound, please follow this check-list:


1) Did you select a sound to be played in the Instance Manager?
AdminCP -> DBTech - vBShout -> Instance Management -> [Edit] -> Shout Sound / Invite Sound / PM Sound

2) Are sounds turned on?
AdminCP -> DBTech - vBShout -> Settings -> Enable Sounds

3) !!!Pro Only!!! Are sounds turned on in the UserCP?
UserCP -> Shoutbox -> Shoutbox Settings -> Shout Sounds / Invite Sounds / PM Sounds

4) Is the QuickTime browser plugin installed?
QuickTime Plugin- Please note that you need to restart your browser after installing the plugin.

5) Does it work in other browsers?
If you only have one browser on your computer (Internet Explorer) you should try out Firefox.

6) Is the following text present in the source of the page: <embed ?
Right click -> View Source -> Ctrl+F -> <embed
If this is not found, and all the above steps are completed, then you may have an out of date template. Please revert any customisations to dbtech_vbshout_shoutbox


If none of the above steps fix it for you, then it's a browser issue that we are unfortunately unable to assist with.



Fillip

There is no such therm <embed in the source code

You are still saying this but the problem is the condition not a browser issue if you delete the condition and leave the embed code in the template the sound work. I really do not think that you have the sound working as you said, nobody has it.

Damage and strange sounds if the person

your Hacks are heavy and take lot of Server load man

hi i have problem with the upgrade and now it is all messed up can u please say me how can i remove the entire shout box stuff manually

I have successfully installed the chatroom. However, it only has option to display in either below the navbar or at the footer.

I like the chat room to position inside 1 of my forum under "chat forum" is that possible?

To put vBShout in a custom location, do the following:


Step 1: AdminCP -> DBTech - vBShout-> Instance Management -> [Edit].

Step 2: Change the Auto-Display Shoutbox setting to Disabled.

Step 3: Write down the the Varname setting. For the default shoutbox, it's instance1. The rest of this guide will assume you replace instance1 with the actual Varname if it is different.

Step 4: Enter the Style Manager and add either {vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1} (vB4) or {$show[vbshout_instance1]} (vB3) to the templates you wish the shoutbox to appear in.


Follow these steps as described and you will have total control over the position of the Shoutbox.
