Shoutbox info
 

I have been searching around... and I have found a couple of sites with stuff I can download... but I am very new to vB and really am not familiar with hacking into my own board yet... I am typically tech savy so even if there isnt a beginner friendly solution eventually Ill be able to do it... but I was wondering if there is some version of a shoutbox with str8 forward instructions for someone who is a first time developer/admin of a vB message board (or any message board for that matter)

if anyone knows of a version of a shoutbox that is said beginner friendly version I would love a link... especially if it is somewhere here on this board...

if not... maybe some advice and where to read up on doing mod installs/hacks on vB boards so I can get started in that direction on my own...

thankyou for any help you can give :)

Easy instructions to follow. You can't go wrong with this modification. IMO the best shoutbox out there right now. Thats only the lite version, the pro version can be found at www.infernotechnologies.net

[AJAX] vBShout 2.0. I think its by Zero Tolerance..

Its 2 steps. Upload shoutbox.php, and import one product.
Over!

There's three. All are very user friendly and easy to use.

• MGC Chat Box
• Dream's Chatbox
• ITech vBShout

All three are very well done by good coders who have thus far supported their modifications. Personally, I use the MGC Chat Box as it has all/most the features I want/need plus more, and the ones it does not have are on the to-do list for the mod. I suggest you do the same, and compare all the viable options and see which one best suites your needs, as all of them are very good, and as long as you read and follow the instructions which are written quite clearly and straight forward you really shouldn't have any problem installing either one of them.

Sorry, excuse me, vBShout is not ported to 3.6.

It has, but Inferno Tech's the newer one.

Thanks Terra :) that is what we went with! :)

shortly after posting this message my co-admin found the inferno box and we installed it right away so I forgot that I had posted this :)

I spent a couple days trying to install the MGC box... the result is as a noob I am screwed... it never worked on my site and has been a pain trying to get rid of...

of course I have myself to blame... it's my own fault for never asking for help in the thread where it is posted but I tell you I hated that I had to go into templates and edit things that I had no clue what I was working with...

and now that I have been trying to get rid of it (prolly the wrong way) I keep finding yet another thing and another thing and another thing that I have to delete or change in order to get the sucker off my board... that thing is the bigggest hassle I have had on my board yet.

what newer one?

ITech vBShout.....

oh :) Im pretty happy with what I have so far :)
