How do you remove
"Sticky: Welcome to DragonByte Tech: vBShout!"

Thanks.

installed and thinking to buy pro version but one little thing is making me :-s .. how can I set a transparent BG of SB? I mean it is coming all grey for me (grey text and grey bg).. :|

/sticky

The shoutbox background will be fixed in v5, but you can edit the CSS in the meantime.

cant wait till 2morrow when v5 is release thanks a lot

Just wondering, does v5 post notifications in the shoutbox when new theads are posted and when people reply to existing threads (like in inferno & GCBOS)? This is the main feature I require :3

All version of vBShouthave done this =)

In v5 you are able to determine what messages show, have them show based on permissions (so people don't see any info about threads they shouldn't) And even have the info posted in a separate tab if you want to keep the chat tab free of clutter but still have the info readily available =)

v5 LITE should be out today at some point.

Iain

yes thanx i been waiting on this for a long time thank for v5

Edit: i have installed this but i get no sound i have all ready made sure that settings in Instance Management for pop.mp3 are turn on.

Can i be able to disable using pm in shoutbox with this v5 version ..

If no i cant use this shoutbox .. coz people spam other sites to members in pm ..

That's a Pro feature.

i have installed this but i get no sound i have all ready made sure that settings in Instance Management for pop.mp3 are turn on

What is the diff between 5 and the older one?

Legacy theres about 30 new features IIRC, from things like adding sounds and highlight tabs, to more options in the context menus and better permissions settings for instances etc. I don't have an exact list unfortunately.

i also get this when i prune the chat box and still cant get sound when shouts are posted

You're probably missing the browser plugin.

i dot think so as u can see below i have it installed on firefox
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/05/67.png

Fixed, re-download the zip and re-upload /dbtech/vbshout/includes/libs/shoutbox.php :)

ok thanx that fixed the Database error but still no sound with the plugin installed.

Right click and view source, then look for <embed
Just that, no ending >.

ok here is what i see
<embed id="dbtech_vbshout_sound_shout_1" autostart="false" volume="0" src="dbtech/vbshout/sounds/pop.mp3" width="1" height="1"></embed>

Is it possible to remove pm option .. dont need it nor want to use it ..

Do i need to pay to not use that option ;)

EDIT: Nvm, I'll change this behaviour now.

Yeah, to disable PMs is a Pro-only feature :)

The fine control over things like this is only available in the Pro version unfortunately.

We can't put every option and feature into Lite, how would we reward our paying customers then? =)

I'm sure you understand that we can't simply go around telling people how to add pro features into their lite installations

Iain

hmmm ok so how do i change that? i don't want chat rooms all i want is sound when a new shout has been enter on the current chatbox

Re-download the zip and re-upload /dbtech/vbshout/clientscript/vbshout.js - then make sure you do a hard refresh (Ctrl+F5) and it should work like you want now :)

I understand thoroughly, What i mean is if "Fine PM control system" in shoutbox is for paying customers then why it should be in Lite version ..

P.S i am not asking pro features fix in lite version and i never will , i am just saying that you can keep the pm system for paying customers only and remove from lite version completely . so that there will be no pm system for lite version . and paying customers get PM system & fine control of enabling it or disabling it. :)

Because of how a lot of the features are integrated with each other, simply doing that can cause problems and design headaches. It's usually much simpler to remove options, and it also gives people more features in Lite, and a better idea of what the product is capable of.

99/100 users would rather have a feature with limited options, than have it removed completely =P If we went with your suggestion I don't think people would be happy haha.

Iain

ok i did what u said and i still get no sound ????

You think they happy? i think so too and im happy too haha

Thanks for the shoutbox .. i will buy pro version coz i need to disable this awesome :rolleyes: pm system ..its bothering my site :)

Fixed properly this time, replace the JS file again and it should work now :)

ok well it sourt of works now i can hear the notification when sum one makes a shout but not when i enter a shout. i suppose that better then nothing thanx.

The feature wasn't designed to make a noise when you enter a shout - consider it as similar to an Instant Messaging program - it makes a noise to alert you a message has been posted/received, Theres no practical reason to make a noise when you enter one... You know you entered one, you're the one who done it haha. =P

I installed the updated version today, but I when I try and upload the XML file, I get this...

"C:\Inetpub\vhosts\mortalkombatempires.com\httpdoc s\forum/dbtech/vbshout/install/install/5000.php is missing!"

I know I installed the upload files.

There is a problem, see:

Thanks for the upgrade and the new features.. very cool :)

I've just downloaded and installed, and I've seen a few errors already..

1. The shoutbox defaults to idle after a refresh.. this is really annoying :(
2. A refresh defaults to the main shoutbox rather than the chatroom you were in.
3. No output appears until AFTER you have made an entry of your own.
4. Getting dbase errors : Invalid SQL:
   
   SELECT chatroomid, user.username
   FROM dbtech_vbshout_chatroommember AS vbshout
   LEFT JOIN user AS user ON(user.userid = vbshout.invitedby)
   WHERE vbshout.userid = 1
   AND status = 0;
   
   MySQL Error : Unknown column 'vbshout.invitedby' in 'on clause'
   Error Number : 1054
   

Oh yes, I see there is a VB38 XML install file too? so this is cool for VB3.8??

Any suggestions appreciated..

I have no idea how or why that happens =/
There's really nothing I can do about it either, if I take those checks out then the XML might not even import for you, and it'll break for everyone who didn't upload those files...

Is Safe Mode enabled in your php.ini? Anything else you can tell me about your config that would help figure this out?

Instance Manager -> Edit Permissions -> uncheck Is Auto Idle for all usergroups that shouldn't have this.

No way of fixing this, it's not for certain the chatroom exists after a refresh (could have been wiped, etc).

Side-effect of the new AOP system. Did you CHMOD /dbtech/vbshout/aop directory to 0777? I forgot to add it to the main readme file, sorry :(

That probably only happened while you were upgrading.
If not, run

Indeed :)

Hi all, I installed this great hack, and I have three questions that are not can be solved if:

The first is that the background color where red is written out, I like to write with red, but then barely visible letters.

The second is that if it's possible to change the font size, and can not find the option.

And the latest is that when you're not in the chat, if you do nothing get a message: "Notice: You are currently showing up as idle. Click here to summarizing activity."
Would it be possible to translate into my language Spanish?, Because I can not find the words.

That's it, otherwise it seems an excellent product.

Regards.

I'm not quite sure what you're saying here, but in v5 the templates changed so that it's using the same background colour as the postbit.

Revert any customised vBShout templates and / or the vBShout CSS file.

This is a feature in the Pro version :)

At this time, it's not possible to translate that. I'm looking into making it translatable in the future, though :)

Ah OK, I thought that was to have them go into idle mode after a while..

Could it not check if it exists? :)

I changed perms on the AOP *FILE*, not the directory.. Doh!! Working fine now!

I think you're right there too :)


:up:

Thanks for the speedy and helpful response, much appreciated!

Nah it's to set idle when you first load the page.
Good thing to do for guests if you have a busy forum with lots of guests but want to show off the Shoutbox feature, that way they don't take up resources needlessly :)

Yeah but it's not the only problem that feature poses, it was just an example.
I'll investigate it further for a future version though :)

Team is having a blast with this Hack good job... . * * * * * 5 stars :up: from OSS
