vBulletin 3.x Shoutbox 1.0 (AJAX)

vBulletin 3.x Shoutbox 1.0 is a simple PHP and AJAX shoutbox script that is fully integrated with the vBulletin forum system. Once you have installed it you can place it in any of your vBulletin forum templates.

Features:

* Tested to work with vBulletin 3.x.
* It uses AJAX. This means that every time a new shout is posted by someone it will instantly display in the shoutbox without the page having to be refreshed.
* It is fully customizable. You can allow guests to post, select the number of shouts to display, and even change the name of the shoutbox.
* Only takes about 2 minutes to install. With very simple instructions in a small text file, you will have a unique shoutbox on your forum up and running in no time.
* It automatically inherits the style of the forum. If your forum has multiple style options, it uses the style the user has selected.

If you install this script feel free to post the link to the forums you installed it in so I can have a look....thanks.

is there a way to have user names instead of guest? also, is there an easy way to take this down without uninstalling it?

if you are logged in it shows your username as a link to your user profile

it only shows "guest" (or whatever you want anonymous names to be) if the person shouting is not logged in

you can take it down by simply removing the iframe code from your template file and then deleting the shoutbox_* files from your web server

thanks Dion. I was hoping there was simpler way to "turn off" the shout box. maybe next version ;) or not, I really do not know much about how development works. but thanks for this, I've been hoping to find a shout box and will use this one...

How often does it check for new shouts?

every 2 seconds with ajax so its pretty much like a chatroom, and you can use it like a chat if you want

how does this effect server load? server space? bandwidth ?

the shouts are stored in a mysql database and are automatically removed once they reach a maximum amount (which you specify in the config file)

it is not server intensive, all it is doing is pulling a very tiny amount of information from the database on a persistant connection every 2 seconds

Looks good, but your forum skin looks better :)

I wantt lol

thanks, im going to start making free forum skins soon :)

This looks nice, but doesn't this belongs in the "Chat Modifications" Section?

Secondly, does it has any special features? Such as ban capabilities, chat moderator abilities for specific users, removing posts, chat archive, etc.

Please upload the files as attachment on vb.org

otherwise people with no license for vbulletin can download it too.

thanx for the release reserved ill wait for to more features to come out...

if you ban a user they will not be able to even see the shoutbox

at the moment you can not moderate the shouts, the next version will be more complex and will have a place in the vbulletin admin panel, as well as an archive

2.0 is going to include changes such as:
long word line breaks
word censors and smilies parsing
shout archive
vbulletin admin panel section
post moderation
flood protection

also, as for my skin, keep an eye on my site, i am going to be making 4 versions of that skin and releasing them free to the public (red, green, blue, and grey). i will be posting them in the style mods section of this site too.

Could you make a black style aswell ?
I like dark skins :)

Thanks,
Diesel

Question:

Can you change the location of the text field area (type box) below the message area so they are stacked? Also, it would be nice that the text field does not scroll with the messages area. Check my site for an example www.talkjesus.com but this one is 3rd party, so it pulls the code from the other site.

as for the scrolling - you can set the shoutbox iframe to hide the y overflow using css and disable the scrollbar. again very simple.

Can you please explain how to stack them? I can modify the code, just need to know what the modification is that must be done.

Please explain about the scrolling too :X (sorry)

I'm a decent css learner, but programming I'm just a good listener ;)

So the scrolling, this will allow scrolling only the message area while the type field area is static, just like the shoutbox I have now on my site, correct?

wow nice, looking forwards for these skins.

you skin kinda reminds me of 1 of the vbstyle skins, good work i like it.

Seems pretty cool and will probably download it tomorrow, is there anyway to add a sound when someone posts a new shout in the shoutbox?

Questions:
1/ How many query does this one use?
2/ Options for admin to delete shout messages?
3/ when you scroll down the box, the shoutbox also scroll. Is there away to keep the shoutbox message box stays still while you scroll the text box?
4/ Also, is there an option to make the shoutbox stay on top of the forum throughout regardless which forum/page we are in?

Is it possible for you to create a skin/style in white for working folks who would like to be in the forum and be at work at the same time (avoid attention from boss)? I have been looking around for one but there are none.

Looks good, i think i'll wait for v2 if you don't mind :D!
Sounds alot more fun :P

This wonderful
thanx

with this:

1/ four. 1 to get the shout, 1 to send it, 1 to check to see if old shouts need to be removed, and 1 to remove old shouts.
2/ coming next version
3/ would require frames or some css modifications, i will add this to version 2
4/ yes, by adding it to the forum navbits template or header
