ShoutBOX would be nice.

Simple one. No multi/l33t/edit permissions features. Just for registered users, only on forumhome, regular shoutbox that uses forum smilies.
:nervous:

Damn, wrong forum :(

Yeah, thats what im looking for.

exactly.....something really simple

Hi,

This is a nice shoutbox by GeekyDesigns, it would be great if someone does it for vBulletin 3.50

taffy

I would prefer something that just checked (if bbuserid) (include bb code parsing file) to allow smiles and URLs and bam post a shout!
Modify the forum home template with an iframe to show the shouts and your done.

It's only a shout and geeky's is nice if you want ultimate control over shouts but something really, really simple would be nicer IMO.

Unfortunately, I don't have the experience or I would probably spit one out in 10 minutes. :)

I have started to attempt to do this with my limited knowledge. I realize this looks more like 3.0 code. No problem converting it once the basics are in place.
I get it to insert the correct values into the database.

I just need to figure out how to get it displayed now :nervous:

If anyone wants to chime in...

CREATE TABLE QUERY
[sql]
CREATE TABLE `shouts` (
`shoutid` bigint(255) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`shout` text,
`username` varchar(50) default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`shoutid`)
) TYPE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;
[/sql]

SHOUTBOX.PHP

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php



// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);



// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################

define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'shoutbox');





// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################

// pre-cache templates used by all actions

$globaltemplates = array(

    'shoutbox'

);



// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################

require_once('./global.php');





// ########################### START ADD SHOUT ############################

if ($_POST['do'] == "addshout") {



        $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO shouts (shoutid, shout, username) VALUES (NULL, '$_POST[shout]', '$bbuserinfo[username]')");

}











eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('shoutbox') . '");'); 



?>

FORM ON FORUM HOME

HTML Code:

<form action="shoutbox.php" method="post">

<input type="hidden" name="do" value="addshout" />

<input type="text" name="shout" value="" size="60"  />

<input type="submit" class="button" value="Shout!" />

</form>

IFRAME SOURCE ON FORUMHOME

HTML Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]

<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">

<head>

<title><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[x_powered_by_vbulletin]</phrase> ShoutBox IFrame</title>

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="90; URL=shoutbox.php?"> 





$headinclude





<style type="text/css">

<!--

margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;

</style>



</head>

<body>

<table border="0" width="100%" align="center" class="alt1">

        <td class="alt1" width="100%">

                <span class="smallfont">SHOUTS WOULD GO HERE</span>

        </td>

</tr>

</table>

</body>

</html>

You should at least protect the INSERT statement against SQL-Insertions. The current code is a huge security risk.

I only wish i knew how :/

----------------------------------------------------
I got this to pull shouts...

PHP Code:


		
			
$latestshouts = "SELECT * FROM shouts ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 20";

now I know theres a while loop that needs to go after that
will probably give up at this point :(

PHP Code:


		
			
while($result= $db->fetch_array($varname))

{

 //stuff here

}

^^ that should work correct me if I'm wrong...

Look here on how to ensure security Here

I'm looking for this also. :)

I whipped up a really simple Quick ShoutBox based on a forum. It's a hidden forum, well almost, I just don't show it, it's accessable. New threads are off, html is off, image code is off. BBcodes are on and so are smilies. There is only one thread. All posting permissions are handled by standard vB stuff. Display uses the security model from showpost. We have it set to only display the last shout.

The last post in that thread is the shout.

It's one template edit and one plugin for forumhome complete. It has one fast indexed query.

We're testing it now. If it seems useful, I will post it.

Quick ShoutBox Demo.
