It doesn't install.. I get this after trying import the xml file:

Not Found

The requested document was not found on this server.
Web Server at--

that means you have not uploaded the files to the correct folders

If you've renamed your AdminCP folder, please also ensure you rename the AdminCP folder inside the upload folder for this mod :)

How / where do were change the template so that the controls are center aligned, instead of left aligned?

Also, can this chat have a separate page just to itself, or placed in a certain forum (like the lounge area) instead of being on the main page?

I believe you can achieve this by editing dbtech_vbshout_editortools and adding the align to the parent <div> in there.

Detached Shoutbox (i.e. a page with just the SB) is a Pro-only feature.

Here's the canned reply for how to move the SB to a custom location:

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).

Thank you Fillip :)

Do you mean this code:

I tried changing {vb:stylevar left} to {vb:stylevar center} but that did nothing.

Is there a way to say "Shoubox was pruned by $username"? Would be helpful.

How /Where do members control the sounds? :confused:

Also, what is "protected group"?

That's a Pro-only feature from what I can tell.

Sound controls are Pro-only features :)

A staff group that can't be banned / silenced / ignored :)

The shoutbox has some sort of rendering/update problem when I use size BB code

It's fine with color/bold/italic bb codes but when I use size bb code it kind of freezes up for a second and the entire shoutbox goes blank, it ends up posting the size bb code just fine afterwards, but it just kind of annoys me that it even does that in the first place

Size does not even work for us. It was one of the first things that we noticed.

having this feature enabled would be the selling point for many, including me.

Any chance you can add this?

Hi,

Installed on vbulletin 5 but the smileys are not working. I saw that the line is commented inside the template. Do you have a fix for it?

Thanks

The Smilies functionality is not supported on vB5 at this time.

Also, we have a dedicated thread for the vB5 version here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=288915

Please use that thread to discuss the vB5 version to avoid confusion. Thanks :)

I just upgraded my forums to 4.2.2. The shoutbox was working right before the installation. However, after, the box is clear, and active users are displayed in plain text such as: Vitaris]]>

When I enter a shout and press Enter, it clears in the text box, but doesn't refresh. The archive is still intact, though.

Any help? Thank you!

Same here.

My shoutbox is also not working after upgrading to 4.2.2

My shoutbox is also not working after upgrading to 4.2.2.. please DragonByte Tech fix this problem soon........

We are currently experiencing a high volume of support tickets due to a number of issues arising from the vBulletin 4.2.2 update.

Until we announce official support for vBulletin 4.2.2, please remain on 4.2.1 or lower.

Thank you for your patience, and we apologise for the inconvenience.

Fillip

Too late to go back! I'll wait. Thanks for working on this. :)

A hotfix for the latest version is now available here: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/demo/2-vbshout

Please do be aware that this does not constitute official support, as we have not yet been able to perform extensive testing to ensure compatibility.


Fillip

Looks like it is still broken ^^

That's not really very helpful, is it? If you have any specific error messages, please post them.


Fillip

I'm looking at your site!

Thank you for the fast response, and I apologise to adding to the ticket volume. I hurried to upgrade after being burned last week by a hacker due to unpatched exploits. ;) Didn't want to leave upgrading too long!

Anyway, I get this:
When I visit your site, and the download is stuck on "Generating download, please wait..." I'll check back later, no biggie. Thanks again!

Try again now :)

For the record, Contact Us and vBSupport are bespoke mods that were made exclusively for DBTech :)


Fillip

Yeah I'm getting the "Generating Download" with no further action.

OK, download works now,

Is there a Pro version hotfix yet?

Looks like Pro versions are stuck at "Generating Download"

hotfixed applied. Shoutbox works! Great work!

Update

Hotfix: PHP 5.4 Compatibility fixes


This does not guarantee the mod is error free on PHP 5.4, but it will take care of the reported errors. Thank you all for your reports :)



Fillip

how can i fix the problem, editing the files only?

even after updating this, if I enable the mod it screws up my admincp and errors on my forum..

Need the errors in order to help.

These are the errors i get..

Warning: Illegal string offset 'name' in ..../includes/class_bitfield_builder.php on line 338

Warning: Illegal string offset 'name' in ..../includes/class_bitfield_builder.php on line 340

Warning: Illegal string offset 'name' in ..../includes/class_bitfield_builder.php on line 346

Warning: Illegal string offset 'bitfield' in ..../includes/class_bitfield_builder.php on line 346

Warning: Illegal string offset 'intperm' in ..../includes/class_bitfield_builder.php on line 433

Warning: Illegal string offset 'name' in ..../includes/class_bitfield_builder.php on line 439

Warning: Illegal string offset 'value' in ..../includes/class_bitfield_builder.php on line 439

Download the files, and upload them again, that should be patched already.

First thing i did, even did a full uninstall by deleting all files and a fresh install again..

I upgraded to 4.2.2 and updated my PHP to 5.4. Now I get this:

Warning: Non-static method VBSHOUT_CACHE::init() should not be called statically in ..../dbtech/vbshout/hooks/global_start.php on line 26

Did you also update the vBShout files, they were updated to solve those errors.
