This is a very simple shoutbox.

For those of us who don't have the resources to spare for vBShout v2.0.

[high]Installation[/high]
Instructions in the zip.

Very simple and very easy to install Thanks! :D

**EDIT**
The one thing i did notice is people are showing up in the who's online page as going too an unknown location ^^

** Edit 2**
I noticed this when I tried to use your code to only show it on index you forgot a " after 'index' so it should look like this

Hello ,

Is there a screenShot ,

Regards

yep lol ;)

Yes...a screenie would be nice.

The if condition did not work for me, vB3.5b3! But thats ok I just placed the code on the FORUMHOME template. Also I'm try to have this feature available to certain usergroups and can't get it to work for some reason.. anyone know how to do this?

I got;

awesome, your my hero
i can remove my sig now! :)

here's mine so far

Hmm, when trying to run a query it says I must select a column, to what is it referring to?

If you copied and pasted the entire query above it shouldn't ask for anything. I did a clean install with the above instructions and it worked fine :)

simple update, it now logs ip addresses, if you already installed youll need to run this query using your table prefix

[sql]ALTER TABLE `sl_shout` ADD `ipaddress` VARCHAR( 16 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ;[/sql]

also changed the template modifications in the first post, but you can place it anywhere

Oo nice update dream :D

thanks :) and it looks a "little" nicer now

Dream THANK YOU SO MUCH !!! Works like a charm, and the little chat window can be used everythere on the forum. My users LOVE ME (Or you?)

EDIT:
This has to be HOTM cuzz its ub4r l33t - Nothing new BUT IT WAS SO WANTED.

updated, added auto refresh, enjoy

another small update, added current time next to the page links

im adding /me code, but it kinda lags the parsing ;/

im gonna add "maximum page links" too, so you wont have 1-100 pages in there, with << first/last >> page

other than that, its good to go (unless I have ideas, and that happens...)

please post screenshots of yours working if you can, that would help me save some time so I dont have to set it on my test board to take screenshots etc

edit:

btw did anyone upgrade from version 0.1?

edit2:

its not hard to upgrade, all options can be disabled with false and true in the code

hello anybody there

edit3:

go figure why people install the first crappy version like mad and not the better one

nice. Thanks.

you are welcome :)

updated, added "max page links" before showing first/last page links

the /me code was slowing down the script too much, so I didnt add it

edit: also added a screenshot

that's all folks

Here is mine :) http://www.NaKazdyTemat.com
Translated into Polish :)

for me, i havent had time to look at it
but i like the first version since it was really bare bones
all i want is simple without a lot of bells and whistles like that monstrocity they made for 3.0 (7 queries on forum home plus forumhome's own queries!)

anyways, when i have a few minutes to spare i will look at the latest and see about installing it :)

thanks again!!!

you are welcome, its still bare bones, but a better looking one

its one query, plus one if you are using bbcodes I think but not sure (fetch_tag_list()), and another one if you shout or delete a shout

not counting queries done by global.php

Great hack! Thanks and it was so easy to install!

updated to RC2, its a product now ;)

goes on the board index?

Will this allow then to use size code to make big letters? I want to avoid that if all possible. And how do you delete a shout? ;)

yes it goes in the forum index, you can put it elsewhere editing templates

bofo, you can disable bbcode by editing the file and setting use_bbcode = false

theres an X next to each shout to delete them, only appears for mods

I don't want to delete all bbcode usuage, just the ones that make the font too big. ;)

you cant do that right now

the parser object im using doesnt have this option (disable only font sizes), not sure how i would do that, and how it would affect performance...

Shouldn't affect performance at all, I would think. ;)

Maybe have a font size that overrides the setting?

it would, you would have to test for [ font ] with a regex on all shouts, its the only way i can think of doing it

I have an Admin (don't worry Biker, I won't mention your name) that likes to play with the shout box I am using now and use big letters. I am on a mission to stop him! ;)

I would like to place the box under "Forum Statistics". Where should I place the code? Thank you.

edit FORUMHOME template, put the chatbox code after

Thanks but I meant under the whole table. I actually got it. It was after this code.

Hi, I got a testbed on my home machine that I use to, well, test everything before going "live".
I have a totally clean vB 3.5.0 RC2 all up and running, working perfectly. No mods, no skins, totally untouched my my itchy little fingers....lol
All I get when I try and install either this mod OR the other "vBShout" is:
I have absolutely no idea why, does anyone else please?

are you running php on windows? maybe theres a problem in that php file with it

You could well be right. I am running under NT but have never suffered probs before, but having said that I have now upgraded to php 4.4.0 and (coincidentally) I have now experimented with six shout/chat boxes, none of which will install.
Wierd....... all other plugs install fine, just not the shouts........ :disappointed: :disappointed:

anybody knows how to make this shoutbox show a miniture (resized version of the avatar of the user instead of the username if they are registered)? and of course the shout would then have to wrap next to it.

anybody out there that can help out with this?

:( Install was easy enough.. But ....

What needs to be done?
