That has not been an issue in this mod since the early stages of the 5.4 branch. Please update to the latest version of vBShout and the AME library

Just wondering what template does it try to put its self IE FORMHOME ?
as this template is identical to the default, apart from a few added customizations.

By default, vBShout places itself on the index page via the

PHP Code:

$ad_location['ad_navbar_below'] 


template hook. Please ensure this hook exists in your template.

To put vBShout in a custom location, do the following:


Step 1: AdminCP -> DBTech - vBShout-> Instance Management -> [Edit].

Step 2: Change the Auto-Display Shoutbox setting to Disabled.

Step 3: Write down the the Varname setting. For the default shoutbox, it's instance1. The rest of this guide will assume you replace instance1 with the actual Varname if it is different.

Step 4: Enter the Style Manager and add either {vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1} (vB4) or {$show[vbshout_instance1]} (vB3) to the templates you wish the shoutbox to appear in.


Follow these steps as described and you will have total control over the position of the Shoutbox.
Please note that some locations may not work as intended on vBulletin 3.8, and also note that it is not designed to go in the Forum Blocks side-bar (vBulletin 4).

Also note that inserting it into the header template does not work, as that template is rendered too soon for vBShout to hook into. The navbar template is a global template that is suitable for vBShout, if you want it to appear on all pages.
