If you goto http://www.plugspark.com/forums/shoutbox.php you'll see it doesn't display the shouts :( plz help?

its not working:(

I had no problems whatsoever in getting this working first try, I suggest starting from scratch and trying again.. That's all I can think of... Works well on vB 2.3.0.

For this you will need VB Shoutbox created by TWTCommish once you have installed it you can install this hack

Works on 2.2.9 and I beleave the latest version of the shoutbox edit shout appears in the admin options but if needed I will have the hack so that normal members can edit their shouts ;)

Provides a 15s window to stop people spamming up the shoutbox and double shouting.

I hope this hasn't been covered, I did search and didn't find anything.

Can the shoutbox be available to only certain members groups?

If so, how?

Sorry... I think I did find my answer although I haven't tried it yet....

OK... I dont think the above solution is a very good solution. Not that I dont appreciate it because I do.

It works...... I guess.... but it gives the usergroups without permission a raw error screen like a php line error screen. That doesn't seem to be a very slick way to handle this.

I was hoping I could set other usergroups to be just not able to post like it is for unregistered users etc.

When a unregistered user sees the shoutbox it looks normal, no errors or anything yet there is no "submit" button or text entry field so they can't post. Couldn't we make it to where we could set other usergroups to get this same treatment?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Installed the shoutbox ok but when I press shout it takes me to the wrong link. Instead of going to /forums/shoutbox.php it goes to just my root dir and looks for shoutbox.php.

How or where do I change the link so when a peeps press the shout buttton it goes to /forums/shoutbox.php as it says to do this in the instructions Upload the shoutbox.php file to your main forums directory. There, you're done!.

Thanks

Thanks! Clicked install!
Very nice addition!

It would also be very handy if the shoutbox doesn't support or automatically removes linebreaks, just to prevent the shout get's enormous 'heights' on the forum home page.
