hello,
i have installed vbshout and its working fine for me but my forum is in hindi and ????? are displaying in place of hindi text .screenshot attached,plz suggest.
url
www.hindivichar.com

I did and that took care of it but, then entered text would not show up in the message area. So I just went through and deleted anything related to VBShout off my server. I'll settle for that until I see what happens with everyone else.

Thanks for being right on top of things Ozzy. :up:

This could be a problem with the character set of your forum and/or database. Can you please post the characters you are trying to submit via the Shoutbox here and I can test it in the default configuration?

ये अक्षर प्रश्नवाचक चिन्ह द्वारा स्थानांतरित किये जा रहे हैं ,कृपया समस्या का सुझाव बताने का कष्ट कीजिये .
plz refer the screenshot too in my previous post.
i would also like to let u know that this shoutbox is working fine with the same character set on my another website www.hindivichar.in with the same vb version.

I have upgraded to 4.2.2 and i want this to work again.

I have uploaded the files and imported the product, but it is in "Finalising Install..." stuck forever.

If I exit that, then it appears as installed on the control panel but if i go to "instance management" the page is blank, and same as "chat room management", etc. It doesn't work.

Any help would be appreciated.

admincp/DBTech - vBShout/Repair Cache do it a few times if needed

Hi does anyone solved one problem with Polish characters " ą ł ź ó ę ż " ?

Thanks for the tip, but still doesn't work, it doesn't do anything. This same thing happens with the Like system of DBTech.

I recently switched themes and suddenly lost the shout box, it is installed and was showing on my last theme - I had the same theme on another forum and the shout was fine. I uninstalled and re installed everything and still no go, it just seems a code or something isnt placing where it should or something?

If your new theme lacks the display hooks, that could be why. Contact your skin developer and ensure they have included all template hooks and ad locations.

Has this mod been recoded for vB 4.2.2?

I just tried to CHMOD the AOP folder, and got this from FileZilla

That sounds like a bug in FileZilla, it's sending invalid commands.

How to change to sticky bar color? Thanks

what is the solution?

How to change to sticky bar color? Thanks

Hello,

I tried searching through tons of pages looking for it i may have over seen it also. I was trying to find how to make the chat show on all pages.

I am not sure whether VB Shout Lite has been updated for vB 4.2.2
If we look on this page:

http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/store/

it suggests that VB Shout is a mod that has NOT been updated and therefore is NOT compatible with 4.2.2.

Too heavy database table alterations when installing, even if the board is offline we're having a hard time installing this in our board with 16 million posts and 1 million users.

I guess this mod is meant for small boards only.

How to hide the active users tab if active block is selected?

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.

Add it to the navbar template to make it appear on all pages.

That is 100% incorrect, and there's nothing on that page that the mod has not been updated. It has been updated both @ DBTech and here on vB.org :)

You'll have a hard time installing any mod that modifies the user, thread or post tables with such a mod - doesn't mean they're only aimed at smaller boards :)

There's also no way of avoiding database alters if there are databases which need new storage space ;)

That cannot be done, sorry :(

How do i delete a shout as admin. Can this be done directly in the shoutbox, as i cant see anything to allow it. Am i missing something obvious here? Thanks

Double click on the shout, or click on the username, which opens a dropdown menu. :)

Ha, thanks a bunch! :up:

Not a problem, glad to help. :)

Just installed PRO version today. Went back to VB4, Excellent product.

Updated to 4.2.2 and now there is no shouts shown and nothing in the chatbox, tried repairing cache.....No joy.

I'm still getting error messages regarding hooks ever since we upped the latest version of Vb4.2.2. I tried the hotfix. Nothing seems to be working. What's the deal?

Did you remember to update the product?

@ Both of you: Please try disabling all other products and then test the Shoutbox. It is possible other modifications are causing the issues if they have not been updated.


Fillip

I thought I had the latest version, but I updated everything and it was fine. Thanks for the reply :D

We implemented a hotfix rather than changing the version number - this was done in order for Pro customers who had let their licenses lapse since the last version was released would still be able to access the updates :)


Fillip

Too may comments so, Is there more Slash Commands that we can add and if so how ?

Cheers

I'm a bit puzzled as to how to install this. Is there a chance someone could upload a video showing the steps required?

That's a feature of the Pro version :)

Did you attempt to follow the installation instructions in the readme.txt file? If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask them :)


Fillip

Yup, I'm mainly having trouble finding the document that you change the numbers.. like the 177 something number lol.

Also, when adding the files to the "forum directory" do I just add it to the directory or does it go in a specific folder? ie: when installing themes you add it to the images folder, not the entire directory.


Thanks in advance! I appreciate you reaching out to help :)

Works great thanks man..

I was updating to BShout v6.2.1 [Lite] and when I goto upload the XML it just freezes up. I also tried to update Advanced Post Thanks - Like v3.1.7 [Lite] and got the same results. Lastly I tried [DBTech] Copyright Management v2.1.1 and had no problems at all. Anybody else have this issue? I am running vb 4.2.2.

Since upgrading to vb 4.2.2 and upgrading to vBShout 6.2.1, internet explorer 11 absolutely loathes my site.

The only way to get the CPU to stop spiking was to disable the vBShout. Any ideas on what I could to do stop it from spiking so high?

How come active users never works. It doesn't show up anymore for anyone on my shoutbox who clicked toggle invisible. It just makes them stay invisible. Is there a way I can fix this? I even tried reinstalling the shout box
