BVShoutbox FULLL
 

Features:

• Displays vBCodes and other post code allowances.
• Admins can edit & delete shouts from the Admin CP.
• Built-in /me code.
• Archive page and IFrame on forumhome for shouting and reading.
• Archive page has multiple pages.
• Stats on archive page.
• Uses phrases for the Admin CP and shoutbox.
• Users can edit and delete their own shouts.
• Usergroup & Administrator permissions.
• Find shouts by specific users (in the admin cp)
• Seperate options for vBCodes allowances and what to display

If there's any features anyone wants added, I'll try and add them. I think I added everything people asked for in the previous version, apart from the upgrader, which will be added to the ZIP file when i've setup another test forum and added the previous version to it

There shouldn't be any problems, because I've tested the installer three times.
And I haven't had any problems with the actual shoutbox, or shout manager.

I'll attach some screenshots of all the custom scripts, if anyone asks for screenshots of the add ons for the permissions and stuff ill take them, dunno why anyone would want them tho...

This has only been tested on vB 3.0.0 GOLD

Thanks for this, looks very nice..

Installed fine.

You may wanna include telling installers that they MAY have to enable permissions for every usergroup as it is off by default if they forgot to edit their /includes/config.php file w/ "1" having access to changing admin permissions.

All is working well. It'd be nice to have some form of generic WYSIWYG interface though. Anyway to incorporate something similar to the one already provide in vb? Perhaps as a pop-up or something?

The ONLY reason I ask, would be to better choose colors instead of the bland black for everyone. They can use bbcode to change the color of course...but that may get old having to explain that to 'em. ;)

ill install this when i get home from work :) just what im looking for.......

Hmmmm....tried editing a shout...and it doesn't save. It goes to a blank page in the admincp. I can delete just fine...but not edit.

Also...there is no text for "Edit"...just to brackets "[]". "Delete" text is there. The "[]" is clickable...it takes me to the text of the shout I wish to edit...clicking save after the change however...does absolutely nothing to the shout itself though.

*edit*

Another request: Have the names of community staff (admins/mods) appear different to distinguish themselves from other members.

*zip updated*

you should be able to edit shouts with the new shout.php file, if you dont wanna download the new zip tho, just change this:
to this:
in shout.php

i'll try and add the WYISWYG editor later, just about to go to bed now

What makes this shoutbox different from the other vb3.0.0 shoutbox released by Link14716 here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=59985 ?

odd...
installed fine, but will not display shouts on Forumhome.. yes the template was modified, just shows a box and a < hr > ? You can add shouts on the main shouts page and it displays them there. Checked all usergroup permissions, etc.
There is no apparent way to add a shout from forumhome either.

Ideas?

I had your old version and on attempted to overwrite it with this one. I hit errors all over the place, and get: I tried to back out the changes I made in the init.php to no avail. I know this is my screw up, and I am not blaming anyone, but can you tell me what other modifications the script does that would affect and result in the error above?

I have the same problem, but I can't see nothing in forumhome???

Please put here a simple Install.txt file.

Okay, i uploaded all the 3 files to the respective directory, then run the install.php
At the step before go into Admin panel, i deleted the shout_install.php file becuz it asked for it.
then i clicked " go to admin cp" and the page showsup saying no such page. then i uploaded the shout_install.php again try to start over. Thhis is wut i got:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.0:
Invalid SQL: ALTER TABLE usergroup ADD shoutboxpermissions INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0' AFTER forumpermissions
mysql error: Duplicate column name 'shoutboxpermissions'

mysql error number: 1060

This is a defected zip script. Please update the useable one.

how do would i go about upgrading from the old bvshoutbox ?

Yea nada in the forum home also for me.

Also...

Mike, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

I am the administrator and I don't have access to the shoutbox.php on my forum wtf?

Read the entire thread. You need to set permissions to YES because the default for SB is no.

I didn't set any new permissions or anything. I actually just installed the sub forum hack and the shoutbox started working.

Weird.

change what usergroup permissions?? where, how???

can u tel me what changes need to be made to usregroup.php again please? I have modded it wrong and I cant re-install because it gives me a database error, so I need to get the settings from here,

and what usregroup permissions to I change to let specific usergroups use the shoutbox??

Are there any template mods for this great hack allready?

It works pretty good. Clicks "install."

woo hoo an update, thank you so muck :D

i am having a problem
i do not see nothing but a black box on the forum home
and i see no shouts on the shout box
i did have the first BVshoutbox, would that be a problem?

okay, it works fine for me expect that I no longer see the [EDIT] text next to each template in the template manager (using firefox). Whats up? I've installed this twice and got the same problem each time. :)

Installed thanks ;)

http://www.monstergamer.net/vb/index.php is showing a black box

http://www.monstergamer.net/vb/shoutbox.php?do=archive is showing no shouts

I get that too...but you can still edit the shout both from here AND from the Archives link.

Can't remember as far as what changes need to be made in the file...but to allow usergroups to view/access/moderate the shoutbox...

It is in your AdminCP...go down to Usergroups, click edit...and at the bottom will be the settings for that particular usergroup for the shoutbox.

Turns out that mine were all set to off by default BECAUSE I didn't set my forums/includes/config.php to allow unlimited access to the Administration Group.

i restored my back up...is there going to be an upgrade from the old BVshoutbox?

in your install this is some of the code

//'Dropping language collumns (if they exist)' => "ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "language DROP phrasegroup_shoutbox, DROP phrasegroup_shoutmanager",
//'Creating language collumns' => "ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "language ADD phrasegroup_shoutbox MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL, ADD phrasegroup_shoutmanager MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL",

should it not have the two // in front of the 2 lines of code

monstergamer, I bleive it should look like this.

ok, can somebody post their modified admincp/usergroup.php file here please, so I can use my shoutbox.. Please!!! :)

Well, either post ur admincp/usergroup.php file, or if u can.. tell me what changes I need to make.

how would i make the upgrade from the old bvshoutbox

true but a fix for this would be good. :)

To fix that, add this phrase.

Type: GLOBAL
Varname: edit
Text: Edit

lol, yeah... Thanks

I am having trouble here. Not all the phrases were installed. Only a few of them. How do i get the others installed. I cant do the install over agian again bc i already installed. What should i do?

The error prahses arent there and a lot of others.

I've got an error with IE 6 after submitting a shout.

With Mozilla everything works fine, but IE displays only a blank white frame after shout was sent. You need to refresh the page to see the input field and submit button again.

Here is a screenshot after the error occured:

i was just asking as i cant get it to work :(

Works great for me.
Now how would I remove the date from the shoutbox and leave only the time?
And how would I move the text input box, etc. from the top to the bottom?
I'd also like to remove the archive link and make the refresh link a button.
I guess I'll tinker with it a bit.

Just noticed that in the admincp whatever is below shout manager in the shoutbox menu has no label for me.
