yo, your shoutbox is by far the best! thank you so much....I've never once had a problem with it and all the functions are great! keep up the great work!

I've been reading some of the questions on this site, and I wonder how some of these people even turned on their computer!

just finished the upgrade and everything works better then before! much more smooth, very nice!

I went from the last page to 107 but haven't seen anyone ask yet -- is there an easy way to make the input box be a 1 line textbox above the shoutbox like Inferno chat had it? My users don't like the input box being on the side.

Seems like loading of the shoutbox is kind of buggy too. About half the time it just sits there saying "Loading..." even though it says there's 4 active users, then if I refresh once or twice it finally loads...

yeah, there are problems now....i installed it fine last night but now it wont load, you have to type and enter for it to refresh

any thoughts?

does it do the same on default skin

Ensure you've reverted any customised vBShout templates, then check Firefox' error console.

If you see any errors like "vBShout1 is undefined" then it is a customised template somewhere that has not been updated to v6 :)


Fillip

I keep getting:
Timestamp: 2/6/2012 9:21:51 AM
Error: userOptions.soundSettings is undefined
Source File: /dbtech/vbshout/clientscript/vbshout.js?v=602
Line: 1739

And if I switch between Active Users and back to Shoutbox the tabs recognize the change but the content inside the box area does not change, it stays as Active Users...

Plus the error console is showing a ton of dropped declarations on the VB Default style specific to dbtech templates...

Will be fixed in the next release :)
Alternatively, downloading the Lite version via our forum (no registration needed) will always ensure you have the latest fixes :)

Fillip

Is the lite version on this thread not the same version that is on your site? I just downloaded the lite version here last night.

It appears it does not like the following lines:
if (typeof userOptions.soundSettings[instanceId] == 'undefined')

I have all sounds disabled for the instance.

It is, but hotfixes like these are applied to the Lite version on our site first, and then put on vB.org during regular maintenance releases.

This is because all I have to do to fix an issue on our site is use my file comparison tool to upload a file, whereas for vB.org I need to generate a .zip file, edit thread, click Manage Attachments, remove old upload, navigate to the .zip file, hit upload, save, no version changes, save again.

All this with vB.org actually loading, which is a rare occurrence indeed :p


Fillip

Thanks for the clarification, Fillip. I downloaded the stable version from your website and WOW what a difference. The stable version is light years faster, all the lag my users complained about is gone. Thank you.

My only request now is how can I move the editor box from the left to the top?
Edit: I see in the pro listing on your site it says "Control shout area location" -- does that mean moving the editor from the left to above the shoutbox? If so, I understand and will purchase the pro option.

By stable version, do you mean 5.4.8?

Moving the editor is indeed a Pro-only feature :)


Fillip

I couldn't figure anything out...no errors, reverted my templates.

but i reinstalled 5.4.8 and everything is great again...still a happy camper ;)

thank you again and thanks for the fast response!

hi, not sure if this has been asked, but is it possible to have this as a module in vBadvanced CMPS v4.1.3

So that I can add the shoutbox to the right hand column?

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Ste

vBAdvanced have numerous compatibility issues with modifications, vBShout being no exception. Sadly I don't think it's possible :(


Fillip

Everything is working well. One thing I would like to do is remove the collapsable window styling so it matches with the rest of the forum sections. Can you please help me with this?

When you go to my site you will understand what I'm talking about: http://www.midwestbullyboard.com/index.php

Thanks in advance!

Add tcatCollapse after the existing collapse class in the dbtech_vbshout_shoutbox template :)


Fillip

That field no longer exists, please re-upload all v6.0.3 files and the error won't appear :)


Fillip

Hi there.

I've just installed this addon on my recently updated 4.1.9 forum, but it only appears in my forumdisplay screen -as expected- As far as it is only showed for a small group of users in my forum, I would like it to display also in every thread. Is that possible?

And another question: is there any way to display the chat messages from top to bottom? reverse way it shows now

thanks in advance

Hello Dragonbyte, I need some help

I use vB 4.1.8 and my forum is in spanish

I have updated to [DBTech] vBShout v6.0.3 [Lite]. I got it from your webpage, not from here. And look what happens with accent marks
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

Uploaded with ImageShack.us


With previous version it didn't happen. Any help?

Thanks in advance

I couldn't say, there's nothing in the recent files that would generate such an error, sorry :(

You can make the shoutbox show everywhere by following these instructions:

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).


That's a problem with your language's encoding. Spanish letters and indeed all Unicode letters work perfectly with ISO-8859-1. You need to ensure that your language uses either UTF-8 (but only if your database also uses UTF-8) or ISO-8859-1 :)


Fillip

Is there a way to move it from the top of Forum Home to the buttom? If so, please explain procedure.

Thank you,

In Instance Management, you can swap position via a drop-down :)


Fillip

Thanks for answer, but I can't understand. My lenguage's encoding is the same that I had with your previous version and it worked perfectly.
Maybe you have changed something here, because I don't have problems with no other mod.
I don't know how to make my chat runs properly. I'm afraid that I have to uninstall, sorry :(

To my knowledge we have not changed anything that should impact the encoding. You're only the second person to report this, the first person was more open to changing their encoding and we're still waiting to hear back from them to find out if that helped.

Meanwhile, we have dozens of people using all kinds of foreign language charsets that have not reported any issues thus far.

Unfortunately at this time there's nothing more I can do :(


Fillip

The point is that I just want it to show in the same top spot, but all over the forum, wherever the page I am...

Hello again, I don't want you to believe that I don't want to change my encoding. It's just that I don't know how to do that =(

I'm not good at english, so I asked for help at vbsoporte.com and Jhonnyf give me the solution.

The only thing is that I can't set YES to this: Enable Context Menu
If I set it as "YES", it shows Atención! instead of Atenci?n!

So I set it as "NO" and problem solved. No need to uninstall, I can continue using your faboulous chat.

Thanks!

That's interesting and weird... But I'll keep a note of it as a workaround :)


Fillip

Then you can add that code to the navbar template :)


Fillip

Unfortunately, this trick on my forum does not work. After updating the SB, there was a problem with the encoding of Polish characters. Previously, everything was OK. Any suggestions?

Hi there, I have downloaded and installed in VB 4.1.10 but it shows just loading..........

any idea?

As of recent update sometimes shouts don't load...

I have only heard this from a couple users however I myself noticed it right away!

What encoding does your language use? Note that the encoding needs to match the database - if the database is utf-8 then your language should be utf-8, otherwise your language should be iso-8859-1 :)

Please check Firefox' error console.

Please check Firefox' error console.


Fillip

Is there any way that i can change BB Codes back ground at shoutbox ?
