I have installed this mod, and it works great by what I have seen so far. Although I do have two questions.

1. As stated by another user, I have also lost a link in my nav-bar. I have "Meet-The-Staff" installed and running, but since installing the Shoutbox, that navigation link is no longer showing in the nav-bar. Now, this is only happening on the /forums.php page of the forum where I have the shout box actually showing on the forum. The MTS link is showing on other pages of the forum, for EX: when clicking "New Posts" the MTS link shows up in the nav bar. Please check my forum to confirm this issue.

2. This is not an issue as much as simply wanting to change one thing. I would like to change the default color of the background inside the chat itself so that it is a lighter color, I think this would make the shouts easier to read for those using it.

Thanks for the assistance and I think this is an outstanding mod! GREAT WORK!!!

I'm not quite sure I understand, sorry :(
Who can prune is dependant on the usergroup permissions in the Instance Management (the Edit Permissions link). If you are in a different usergroup from the other admins, that would explain it.

Thanks for your very detailed report :)
I'll check out that mod and see what method it uses to include its navbar link and post back once I have more information :)

Open the template dbtech_vbshout.css and edit the area. You should be able to set a background colour there :)

Thanks :D

Thank you! I will work on that!

Please forgive my inexperience in adding such code as suggested. I know it is probably pretty simple, but in the file you suggested for changing the color, can you tell me the way to code the color change for the background there so I don;t mess it up? I ask because I don;t currently see an option for that there, I have quoted what I have there now if you would not mind showing me what to change to get the color I want. I can find the color code, I just need to know how to implement it into what is already there to avoid mistakes.

Thanks

under add for instance
Thatll make the background black, and default font colour white.

Hope that helps :)

Yes it does, now that I have that basic code I can play with the colors to find what works!

Thanks again for not only the great mod, but the timely responses to the questions and support as well!!!

The Shoutbox tab in usercp is empty.
And some smiley codes like ':<' are not working in Shoutbox.

@ckelley:
No problem :)
Can you please re-download the zip and re-upload /dbtech/vbshout/includes/libs/shoutbox.php and tell me if this resolves your nav-bar issues?
Thanks for your help in tracking this down :D

@unp:
Yeah, that's because some links had to be removed upon the introduction of the Instances. The Pro version has actions there, though.
As for the smiley issue, check that you have smileys enabled in the shoutbox settings.

Is it possible to remove that tab as many members are reporting it as a problem.
Most smilies do work but some codes are not parsing.

[S]Running 4.0.3 on Test Environment.

First, congratulations on a terrific mod. It's very advanced and I think, should our membership grow as we hope, it will be very advantageous for my RPG Storytelling site's members. Currently, it is installed in a test environment on 4.0.3. Once I work my own bugs out, I will be considering the upgrade to the Pro version as I'm very impressed with this item.

Now...If I may transfer Pro when I move the board live, I would consider upgrading now.

Anyway...I have looked through the posts to see if anyone else has encountered this issue...I seriously think it is a ME error and not a product error, but have been unable to sort the solution.

Notices: The option to set Notices does not appear in the Forum Manager section of my Admin CP or within the table for actually editing each forum either. Am I misreading that this might be a feature for PRO only?

This question might not be one to ask you guys...but...

Can I place the shoutbox so that it appears above my forums sort of like it is another category itself? And can it be displayed everywhere? Often my writers get into a writing tagging war while hanging in the shoutbox and it is easier for them to do this if they only have to go to the top of a page to leave a Tag for the other writer.

Wow...this was lots more question/info than I thought. I appreciate any and all help you can give me.

If you need access to my test site, please let me know. I will have to do that via PM as it is not set-up for public view yet.

Warmest Regards,

Alisa

PS: If you add avatars to this, it will be beyond perfect. My writers are vain little things that love to see their character images everywhere. *winks and grins*[/S]
