"Who Is Online (Shouting)" in the vbShout shoutbox

The original vbShout is required for this (obviously) and can be downloaded here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=93097

Because my members keep using the shoutbox more as a chat room, they asked if it would be possible to get a list of users currently online/participating in the shoutbox.
OK, and this is what I smashed together as an answer to this request :)

This addon adds an IRC like userlist to the right side of the shoutbox.
Like the shoutbox itself, the userlist gets updated with AJAX calls as well, so it's always up-to-date, no reloading required :)

Technically it shows a list of everyone who shouted in the last three minutes.
Who hasn't shouted for three minutes is considered "to be somewhere else" and no longer available to talk to, and so does not get listed anymore.

*INSTALLATION*
================
Is pretty easy.
Just upload the "vbshoutwol.php" to your forums root (i.e. .../forum/) and do the two edits (described in the README) to the "forumhome_vbshout" template for all styles you wanna use the WOL list on.

If you have the "Template Manager" installed on your board you can simply import the template .XML also included in this archive - this saves you the manual edits :)

"Template Manager" can be found here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=91038

Have fun!

For anyone that is not too sure where to add the final code edit :-

Great Hack, Congratz!

I'm actually going to transfer the shoutbox on the Javachat page, in order to have a multiple shoutbox / irc java chat page :D

Just a quick question: Is the one below the line to manipulate the time a user is show to be "online" ?

PHP Code:


		
			
$tframe = time() - (60 * 3);

I guess the "3" is the number in minutes (vbshoutwol.php, line 8)

cheers, ze :raucher:

Yes, that's right.
You might chance this to whatever suits best for you :)

Looks like you either forgot to upload "vbshoutwol.php" or you put in the wrong dir.

When I try to access http://www.gsnforce.com/forum/vbshoutwol.php I get a "404 - File not found".

just a small point i am sure i will be corrected if wrong but i see [/code] beneath your whos shouting box. I didnt add that to my code as i thought it looked wrong and mine works so try that??????

I've tried to install it, but I keep getting this error in the Users online box:

Code:

Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_REFERER in F:\Inetpub\Sites\forum.seti.nl\includes\class_core.php on line 1573

Line 1573 in class_core says:

Code:

define('REFERRER', $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);

Do you have any idea what's wrong?

BTW, you left a [/code] tag in the readme, right behind the first replacement ;)

Hellcat

01-23-2006 11:18 PM

Hmm, no idea what's up with that class_core error....
Looks like some problem with PHP's autoglobals....

But yes, the [/code] shouldn't have been there.... shame on me ;)
I already uploaded an updated ZIP where I removed that tag from the README :)

We're running PhP 4.4.1
Could that be the problem?
We're gonna upgrade shortly.

Update, the above mentioned error only appears in FireFox. But I still see the people that are online.
In Internet Explorer it just works fine.

S@NL - BlackBik

01-24-2006 09:26 PM

It seemes that in FireFox the HTTP_REFERER isn't always given.
I tried this: if ($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] == "") { $HTTP_REFERER = "http://my.page.nl/"; }
But that doesn't do the trick.
Any ideas?

I will take a look into this.... can't promise anything, but I'll try :)

I'm finding that it only updates if you, the user, is typing into the shoutbox. If you are just reading the previous shouts, it does not update along with shouts that are being cast. Any ideas?

I've been looking in it for myself and I found a "quick and dirty" sollution.
At the top of the script I added this line:

Code:

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

This supresses the Notice errors.
It's not pretty, but it does the trick in Firefox :)

Edit: Actualy I see this code a lot in vBulletin scripts. I guess it's not so dirty after all :D

I tried installing this but it just says loading.

I uploaded the 1 file to my forums folder.
I moded the templates.

any pointers? thanks.

Hellcat

02-08-2006 10:22 PM

Weird.
This usually means the .PHP file isn't sending any response.

Can you give me a URL to take a closer look?

It was my fault. When i did a search for requestShouts() it put me in the middle of the page, where the requestShouts() I was looking for was at the bottom. installed and working perfect. thank you.

That should be specified in the installation read-me since there are multiple instances of requestShouts().

EDIT: Who's shouting show's up underneath the shout box in firefox for me, if it floats left its under the shoutbox on the left. It I have it float right, it's under the empty space on the right where it should be. In IE it's fine.

why is this?? And how can I make it right? o_0

this is my template code at the moment:

Code:

<div id="vbshout" style="overflow:auto;height:{$vboptions['shout_box_height']}px;width:88%;float:left;">

                                                Loading...

                                        </div>



                                        <div id="vbshoutwol" class="alt2" style="overflow:auto;height:{$vboptions['shout_box_height']}px;width:12%;float:right;">

                                        <div id="vbshoutwolhd" class="tcat">Shouting:</div>

                                        <div id="vbshoutwolusers">

                                                Loading...

                                        </div>

                                        </div>

                                        <div style="clear:both;"><img src="$vboptions[cleargifurl]" border="0" hight="1" width="1" /></div>

tried setting the 12% one to right, didn't make any difference.. just switched sides..
what is causing the line to break here?? o_0

Same problem as me, are you using firefox? Because in IE it shows up fine, I hope someone who knows more about this than me will respond soon, I really like this feature, but where it's at is annoying.

[EDIT]
I just tried my own forum in FireFox and it works fine, so it should something else.

Thanks alot Hellcat, really appreciate!

Edit: Oh, well I'll dig around and see, any idea what could affect the placement of the who's shouting box?

Yeah, I'll mess around with the <div>'s and see if it helps anywhere.
