It's whining about the 'shout' table already existing.

Did you have this installed before? If you currently have it installed, try uninstalling and trying it again. If you don't have it installed, go into phpmyadmin and delete the 'shout' table, and try installing again.

Hopefully that works, cuz I have no other ideas.

ok well any advice or tips on lowering the server load?
i set it that only reg members could veiw but is ther any thing else i could do?

Don't let Images or smilies
And pruning the shoutbox every so often :D

i hate to sond stupid but i am lol
how do i prun it and how often should i do it?

thanks :)

I would do it whenver it got Really full like pages and pages

That doesn't do very much to decrease the processor and bandwidth utilization on the server.

Is there any way of making a scheduled task to turn this on and off at set times?

Turn the shoutbox on and off at certain times... Almost to disable a plugin on and off at schedule task

first of all, thanks for the great hack ..

The smilies dont work at all for me .. I hav set 'Allow bbcode/smilies' to 'yes' in settings .. they do appear when one clicks on the 'Smilies' button .. but then when u try to 'shout' it .. it jus shows up as :smile: or :emot39: ...
i am not able to figure out why the smilies dont work .. members are unhappy abt it ..
any help wud be much appreciated!

please help
thx

man i have to tell you... imiss this hack.... my members are spoiled over it... but like the man said.. IT IS SERVER INTENSIVE... my host company server crashed my site a couple of times...
is there any way that, this can be remedied....??

The v2.1 flat file update is a lot easier on server load.

Indeed. Much, Much better. My server load dropped by about 300%...

I've just installed the flat file because of problems with the server load, but I was also wondering if it's possible for users to turn the shoutbox on/off in their profile? So that users who don't use the shoutbox won't cause increased server load.
I'd rather not have to split the Registered users user group in half because of the shoutbox.

No there is no way, the way it stands now, for a user to turn it off.

Tried searching with no luck, similies are not appearing in our vBShout. They are in the right directory. Anyone familiar with this problem. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for an update. Now, if only upgrading didn't wipe out the Top Shouters and other stats... ;)

Also, I just installed the latest version on 3.6.4 and upon posting the first two shouts, I recieved error emails from my site, but the shouts were posted...

Ive found so much numerous bugs in both versions..
Such as the codes. people can change the font size to 99 and you can't do anything about it.. Unless you fix the vbshout.php which Ive done

so i was playin around, look at my so COOL shoutbox
:cool:

Does anyone have a clue as to how I could turn this thing off at a preset time?

I have a video chat that I only have open from 8-midnight, so I'd like to turn this off at 8PM automatically and leave a link directing my visitors to the other chat.

Id use Schdule task
and somehow use a code to run it :cross-eyed:

I know how to schedule a task if someone shows me what to schedule it to do!

you would need to alter the topions table and then rebuild the bit fields.

I'm completely unfamiliar with mysql - if I had a query, or a line to copy and paste, I could do it, but that's the extent of my skill in that arena.

Can anyone pllllllease help?

Working on my web site 100%. thanks

As an anti-spam I want to allow only those users who have more than 25 posts to shout in the shout-box .. Is there a way to do it?
I am not familiar with MYSQL though I know a little PHP .. any help?

2.1 with time stamps... how do you do that? :surprised:

^That vBshout.php has the same amount of errors..

Recent install on vb3.6.4. Same problem. Smilies don't parse. :cross-eyed:

Go into vB Options -> User Profile. And check the bbcode/smilie options there.

Thanks! That was the problem.:)

the vbshout 2.1 is lagging alot, and my members allways complaint that the shoutbox happends to show blank page where it says

loading.....

whatever the script is extremly slow, please fix that thanks

Its not supported. =l
In your case I would just go back to 2.0

Why would you not give credit where credit is due? Instead you credit yourself, lol. That's funny. For the record, Shazz is using MY modified vbshout.php. I fixed it because it did allow all bbcode by default which included several possibly malicious bbcodes. Also in my version, I limit the size of the message to 300 chars. The most important fix: strip_tags(). Be default, the original vbshout.php allowed html in the posts. This could be VERY dangerous in the wrong hands.

If you are interested in my fixes, I will be glad to share.

Im using some..
Not all but I still should have credited you sorry

i got a problem, how do u clean or prone ? i got like 3000 and i want to delete them all or is there an obtion to delete after 2 days old ones ?

Hey guys, just if your interested. I installed this on vb 3.6.4 and it seems to be working fine.

Running this on vB 3.6.4.. at bloodcouncil.com.

Works PERFECT. Thank you very much Zero Tolerance!
