Ok, I installed it, and have some questions.

First, is there any way to reskin this to look more like the old vBShout? Mainly by putting the input box above the shout display. Additionally, I don't suppose you (the author of the shoutbox) or anyone else here has any way of adding the random smilie lineup generator like that old shoutbox has? Basically, any improvements to make it look more like the shoutbox I linked to is appreciated.

Second, how can I remove the html markup for the selected display usergroup? I really do not want the chosne display usergroup's markup to be used on members' names in the shoutbox. Ideally, I'd like it to display the markup of their primary usergroup, NOT their chosen display group.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Im really liking this mod, it has alot of cool functions and that was the key that made me install/purchase it. The major concern of my users now is how messy and inconsistent it is in terms of layout compared to the old chat. I've taken the time to do a quick mockup of what it will look like with some simple tweaking. Could you please tell me how i can achieve this?
Sorry, we're unable to assist with customisations like these due to time constraints. If we helped one person, we'd need to help everybody, etc. Sorry :(

The output of /me shouts are 100% intended, because they are designed to stand out from normal shouts.

The spacing would not work for sites that allow long usernames, you could potentially end up with a shoutbox that allowed 3 letters on one line before the shout wrapped.

Those customisations may work well on your site, but we cannot implement them into the base product because of the above concern - we need to cater to as many eventualities as possible :)

Displaying the shout bar above or below the shout area is a Pro-only feature.

The smilie popup was designed to give you a better overview of all the smilies, it doesn't make much sense to see a random subset of smilies if someone is looking for a smilie and they just don't know the code.
You'd be asking your users to load up a thread in a new tab, open the smilie popup from there, find their smilie, go back to the shoutbox and enter the correct smilie code.
Chances are, the discussion will be long over by the time they have done all of that ;)

That... is quite an odd request xD
It's sadly not possible as it's hardcoded in multiple locations to work with the markup username :(

Hi Fillip,

Then could you just point me in the right direction... tell me where in the templates or .php to look to edit $shoutdate and $shoutmessage for the shoutbox? I will make backups and figure the rest out on my own.

forget it, paperclip a member of my community implemented all the changes i requested in less than 10 mins. would really have appreciated if you spent that time helping instead of giving me all the reasons why you couldn't do it since it would have taken you even shorter time to do since you know exactly where to look.

It would also have improved the satisfaction of your customers for those like me, cause in the future im sure someone will ask this again and they can just search the forums for this solution and bam you have an instantly better product for the little more effort you put in. your good product would be even BETTER and your customers will be SOOO much happier.

heres the code for those who want it, just add/replace these in ur dbshout templates.

This code streamlines the [date] [name] [msg] so they are all aligned neatly as in my screenshot above, making the chat MUCH MORE easy to read. You can also change the font to your desired size in the css tempalte. i put mine as 11px

dbtech vbshout tempaltes > dbtech_vbshout.css
(add this at the bottom of the template)

PHP Code:
  .dbtech_vbshout_frame { resize: vertical; }    
  .dbtech_vbshout_frame .alt1 { font-size: 11px; }    
  .dbtech_vbshout_frame .alt2 { font-size: 11px; }    
  .sb_time { width: 55px; display: inline-block; float:left; vertical-align: middle; }    
  .sb_name { width: 140px; display: inline-block; float:left; vertical-align: middle; }    
  .sb_text { margin-left: 195px; display: block; vertical-align: middle; } 
Replace the following three templates with these, it just adds div tags to the bottom lines to make them neat.

dbtech vbshout tempaltes > dbtech_vbshout_shouttype_shout


PHP Code:
  <div class="dbtech_vbshout_shout%altclass%" id="dbtech_shoutbox_shout%shoutid%_%instanceid%">    
    <input id="dbtech_shoutbox_shout%shoutid%_message%instanceid%" type="hidden" value="%message_raw%" />    
    <span class="sb_time" id="dbtech_shoutbox_shout%shoutid%_time%instanceid%"%canedit%>%time%</span>    
    <span class="sb_name" id="dbtech_shoutbox_shout%shoutid%_username%instanceid%">%memberaction_dropdown%:</span>    
    <span class="sb_text" style="%styleprops%"%canedit%>%message%</span>    
    <div style="clear: left;"></div>    
  </div> 


dbtech vbshout tempaltes > dbtech_vbshout_shouttype_me


PHP Code:
  <div class="dbtech_vbshout_shout%altclass%" id="dbtech_shoutbox_shout%shoutid%_%instanceid%">    
    <input id="dbtech_shoutbox_shout%shoutid%_message%instanceid%" type="hidden" value="%message_raw%" />    
    <span class="sb_time">%time%</span>    
    <i>    
          <span id="dbtech_shoutbox_shout%shoutid%_username%instanceid%">%memberaction_dropdown%</span>    
      <span style="%styleprops%"%canedit%>%message%</span>    
      <span id="dbtech_shoutbox_shout%shoutid%_time%instanceid%"%canedit%></span>    
        </i>    
  </div> 


dbtech vbshout tempaltes > dbtech_vbshout_shouttype_pm


PHP Code:
  <div class="dbtech_vbshout_shout%altclass%" id="dbtech_shoutbox_shout%shoutid%_%instanceid%">    
    <input id="dbtech_shoutbox_shout%shoutid%_message%instanceid%" type="hidden" value="%message_raw%" />    
        <span class="sb_time">%time%</span>    
        <span class="sb_name">%memberaction_dropdown%:</span>    
    <span class="sb_text">    
          <span id="dbtech_shoutbox_shout%shoutid%_username%instanceid%">[<span style="font-weight:bold;">PM to %pmuser%</span>]</span>    
      <span style="%styleprops%"%canedit%>%message%</span>    
        </span>    
        <div style="clear: left;"></div>    
  </div> 
Lastly, replacing this attached javascript in /yoursite.com/dbtech/vbshout/clientscript/vbshout.js

will allow users to scroll up whenever they please without it forcing you to scroll down/up whenever the chat is refreshed. of course remember to rename your orignal vbshout.js as vbshout.js.bak in case anything goes wrong

Hope this helps someone as i was looking for a solution for the last 3 days when i kept being getting told NO IT CANT BE DONE when in reality it took just 10 mins from a random member on my site who happened to be a coder. Thank you paperclip.

DragonByte Tech 11-01-2011 05:14 PM
Where did I say it could not be done? I apologise if I gave off the impression that it could not be done, I merely said that I did not have the time to investigate and code it for you, and we do not offer these kinds of customisations to our products.

I'm happy that you got it done - if you want, you can re-post your post (sans the mis-information and mis-quotes of course) as a new mod here on vb.org and put the threadid of this thread as "addon for". That way it doesn't get buried in the mists of time :)

Please understand, CSS is not my strong suite (I'm sure your coder friend can tell you that the CSS he edited is far from optimal) so it would have taken me several hours to do this. DBTech is my full-time job, so I unfortunately cannot spend several hours a day customising my mods for people who want them to work a specific way :(

Regarding the username markup issue, just tell me this: is it a matter of finding the instances of the "musername" variable and changing it to just "username?" That's been the solution in several hacks I've had this issue with, so if that's the case, I can handle it myself.

And if so, I'd need t make that change for all instances of "musername" in all of the php files in the dbtech directory, correct?

DragonByte Tech 11-03-2011 07:15 PM
I'm not sure, you can look at the array that sends the data back to the JS in /dbtech/vbshout/includes/class_core.php and see if that helps :)

Thanks, that handled it. Only downside is it now has NO markup at all. Any idea how I could force it to use the primary usergroup markup? I know the old vBshout we used did that, but I don't remember how I got it to do so. All I remember is it initially displayed the display group markup as well.

Also, whenever we use the commands built in (like sticky/unstuck), the resulting auto-shout doesn't have the correct username. Instead, it's just %username%. What can I do to fix this?

Thanks in advance for a reply, and thanks for the answers so far! :)

DragonByte Tech 11-04-2011 11:42 PM
It is not possible to display only primary UG markup, vBulletin's fetch_musername() takes the Display Group markup, whatever it may be.

I don't know how you can fix it, this is one of the cases where I have to pull out the "we don't support customisations made to our code" card :(
