type /prune into the shout box and click 'shout'

Awesome, thanks da420...

next time I'll ask a hard question, :)

Installed without a prob! Very nice work!
Thanx for the sharing ;)

Jacquii.

How can I delete all shouts at once?

/prune

Sorry?

Didn?t understand.

Where do I do that? I?m a noob! :o

Do it in your shoutbox and its magic...
:D

You are one smart monkey!!! :p

Thank you!!!! :D

Your welcome enjoy..

is there a way to restrict the people who can post in the shoutbox? i only want to allow people with 100 posts be able to talk in the shoutbox

Promotions to usergroup then ban usergroup from viewing shoutbox

The window does not show the shout after you post one. It works in IE but not in FireFox.

Someone must know this?

I am working on a new style and the vbshout is messing up the layout. Where or what do you do to revove the vbshout from the style?
Its a new style that was not made parent to anything else. I want to leave it in the default style so do not want to remove it completely. Just want to offer members another style if they do not want the shout box.

Some people have problems with german and greek characters in vbshout. I already wrote what the problem is: mod_security.

What i did was to write a .htaccess in the root with following phrases:
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
</IfModule>

After this .htaccess, vbshout worked correctly with german characters like ä, ü, ö!
It worked untill some "bad guys" tried to hack my board last night because mod_security was set to "off".
Now my question is: how to get mod_security work with vbshout? Which file is making troubles with mod_security? Is it vbshout.php in the root or is it vbshout.html in the map "sb"?

Is it possible to set mod_security to "off" only for these files and not to the whole vBulletin?

thx for any hints!

hmmm .. how come I don't see the Ajax Shoutout in admin ?? any idea ??

oh got it after reading through stuffs around here .. short note to those who have the same problem: it is in Admin CP -> Vbulletin Options (vbShout is a sub)

Another question, how can I set limit to 2000 shouts in database?? If it hits 2000 shouts, the older ones will be deleted..

hey bro...thanks for this...click install and nominate already....but one thing i want to ask...try to find if someone ask this already but can't found it....how do i set some...like changing smilies, user legend colors and removing time shout...and also the shoutbox size....please advice and thanks again bro....;)

This mod is not longer supported
Other members will try and answer your questions though...

I really wish there was a system that automatically removed, say, shouts older than 2 months. I had to go in my database and run a query to delete shouts from 2 years ago :rolleyes:

Already been made :P

Where? :confused:

can anybody answer of this....same question here.... :rolleyes:

how to i change the refresh rate of the shoutbox

can someone help plz

thnx

Refresh rate? Its ajax.. :confused:

How can i stop guests from viewing the vbshout.php?

I have the same problem. I can stop viewing the shoutbox in the ACP for quests, but is there a solution stop viewing vbshout.php?

Any ideas?

Try adding a rel="nofollow" to the hyperlink to the shout archive.

Thank you very much. But can you explain this for a beginner like me? ;)

Where I have to add this?

Change...

To...

Thank you very much...but...

Does this really solve my problem?

The file vbshout.php lies in .../forum/vbshout.php

Guests kann read my shoutbox, if they know the link .../forum/vbshout.php

Sorry about my stupid questions, but I'm a beginner. :)

Yep this is what i said earlier, everyone can read the vbshout.php if they know the url to the file
and it don't take Einstein to figure that 1 out lol...

Anway, heres what i did, I renamed the vbshout.php and all references to vbshout.php in the
file and templates, Mine is working fine, they will have fun trying to figure out what the file is now
It might not be the best of solutions but its the oly one at hand at present :)

Oh for some reason I thought you were trying to get spiders to not follow the link. My bad.

wht i mean is it constantly updates causing the DB to crash any way i can decrease the time

Sent you a PM :)

You need to do a search for the version 2.1 on the internet
Its the flatfile version and is so much better performance
look for vbshout 2.1 flatfile and it will be the 1st in google

Why cant i write in spanish on my vbshout?

Spanish characters?
Such as like the ? or something

I have my shoutbox running on my new dedicated server. Its running very fast, just about live but once a day my site seems to crash and get this error at the end of the day.

Database error in vBulletin :

mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (11)
/home/b20vtec/public_html/forums/includes/class_core.php on line 273

Now my questions are:

the other day my host said the key buffer was full

Can the shoutbox be filling that buffer up faster than it can process it and probably as a fail safe it's just killing the connection until it can catch up

try to find if someone ask or reply on this already but can't found it....how do i make such thing...like changing smilies, user legend colors and removing time shout.......please advice and thanks again for any help ....
