thanks for that:)

i've been waiting for WEEKS for someone to tell me how to do something so easy!!

maybe this should be included as instructions in the zip, would've considered buying the pro version if someone from inferno technologies told me how to do this, it couldn't take long to type surely....

anywayz thanks again jpt62089!!!!!:):):)

wrap your shoutbox in an <if> conditional:

@ jpt62089

For it to work on Vba yes it can be done like that, however I am talking working as a module in CMPS.

The problem ive experienced is that it will display but simply show "loading..." on vbadvanced as a module.

Ive tried changing all the in the templates to instead. I suspect that it cannot read the shouts for some reason. I just cant establish how.

With this mod like similar you would have thought that they would make them simple to display elsewhere on vbulletin like those other authors do. Zero Tolerance's VbShout worked as a module on Vba as you just edited the main template and added it to CMPS. This one proves much more difficult.

Support for Pro Version? Nope im afraid not. Ive got Pro and ive tried several times to ask how to get it working on Vba and nothing. Support for this mod is about as good as trying to get it working on Vba itself ;)

I dont know what it is, but they seem to think you are advanced coders. Im no newbie to coding and know a fair wack, but this hack I would say would be hard for a novice to install nevermind use. For instance, "Page Deployment". The hack doesnt tell you anything about where to actually find the script name. Luckly I knew from a previous time.

Anyone help regarding Vba?

m002.p, i tried to look for these multiple instances of support you referred to, could you please Pm me some links, I found one or two references to VB Advanced, and in both cases it was clearly stated that in the current version it is unsupported, but that support is planned for the next version.

I think you are confusing "support" with "custom modification for free" :)

Okay, I feel like an idiot, but I don't understand this part of the instructions:
I would like the shoutbox on every single page (not including the "home" page vbcmps), but I don't know the "scripts" for that. Also, is there a complete listing of admin commands (ban, etc) and how to use them?

Yes, I'm a newbie trying to learn this stuff piece by piece.

@Inferno Tech, it is good to see you have finally realised that I did email "support or enquiries". I mean for any company no matter how busy, a polite notice to acknowledge receipt goes along way.

It is a shame to simply shut off the support issue. Basically how I see it, some coders make a product and release it but then dont bother supporting or even taking an interest in what people have to say or request. If its so much trouble then maybe releasing it publically isnt a good idea. Surely these guys know that all sorts of queires arise.

This modification is great, in fact an outstanding idea, but rather than worrying about the pennies in the bank, maybe considering the customer may also be high on the agenda. Being a manager myself shows you for anything to be successful, you win the customers and by not even replying to my enquiries shows alot.

Anyway all the best with the next version, any ideas of its release date? & hopefully I can get my money's worth in all areas ;)

@ GekkoPixie

Well yes sadly the instructions are not aimed at novices to coding im afraid. In other words for it to display on all pages, you need to include all the script names of those pages you want it displayed on in the "page deployment" and also include within the template concerned.

To find the script name, open the PHP file that relates to the page. such as forumdisplay.php or index.php and search for

usually near the top of the php file on your FTP server.

Remember that 'pagename' is where you will find the script name.

Hope it helps

m00, your best bet for support queries to be answered is using the official support forums - sometimes email may notget answered, for whatever reason (may not come to everyones attention, spam filters etc etc)

Unfortunately, while we make every attempt to do what customers ask, if we were to do what people requested as they requested it, we would never get anything done. Instead we put these things on the to do list for the next version :)

I'm sure you understand that it is not possible to do everything right then, we're only a small company after all, and with one of our coders indisposed (as is the case at the moment) and the other coder working 7 hours a day doing freelance work for a major company, it's literally impossible to do.

As far as a release date goes, we don't have one at the moment. Our next release of RPG Inferno is due before the next release of VBshout, but once that's released i should be able to give you a better idea of the release date. Obviously if our other coder gets access to the internet in the near future, then the release date can be brought forward significantly :)
