Additional Features

Auto-Idle
The auto-idle system will drastically lower server load on sites with many users on at the same time. It allows you to automatically set the user to "idle" in the shoutbox, meaning the shoutbox will load shouts once, then idle the user until the click the unidle button or make a shout. Afterwards they will idle as normal (as set in the ACP).

Shoutbox Advanced Optimised Protocol
The Shoutbox AOP is a brand new feature that when turned on will dramatically cut server resources/bandwidth used by the shoutbox. Instead of the shoutbox refreshing every X seconds to check if there is new data, it will know when there is new data and only refresh then, meaning when there is no activity in the shoutbox, no resources will be consumed, or bandwidth.

Shoutbox Low Level Logging
The shoutbox low level logging system will provide you with a log of shout edits, deletes, bans, unbans, notices and remove notice commands. This will help you keep track of commands being used in the shoutbox. This can be turned off.

Private Message System
When clicking a username in the shoutbox, it will now open a new "tab" (This is a shoutbox tab, not a browser tab). In this tab you will be able to privately chat to the member where only they and you will see the messages. This helps split private chats and the main chat, and you can have as many private chats open as you like!



vBSEO Issues?
If you're encountering issues with vBSEO this is most likely due to the option within vBSEO to "clean html", you do not need to turn this option off, but you will need to change the plugin for vBShout. Go to the Plugin Manager within your ACP, and find the plugin: "Inferno Shoutbox: Deploy Shoutbox". Edit this plugin, and where you see the option "Execution Order", set this to 1 and save, you should no longer encounter issues.


Note
I'll update screenshots soon! 5am here right now...

Enjoy!

Righto, the almost famous "Shoutbox Notice: Your shout failed to send" error. Many hits on google, no solutions found. Does anyone have the answer to the error above? Or, an alternative that is still supported?

Hi,

I downloaded this, and imported it but i'm stuck at entering this:

<!--{%SHOUTBOX%}-->

It says to edit the template "forumhome", but i cant find it ? What file is it?
Instead I edited index.php file in root of forum, and then i found "$navbar" at the end of the file. It also says to add it under $navbar, but it doesn't say where to put it EXACTLY. I tried adding it everywhere, right after navbar, one line under navbar, but it never works.
I'm a bit new to the vbulletin so could someone please explain how to get this working?
This is screenshot of index.php where i found $navbar:



so where exactly should i put that code ?

Thanx :/

EDIT:
found it

I was unsure if you knew the history behind Inferno Tech so basically I wanted to let you know... no one has heard from Inferno Tech aka Zero Tolerance in a while see the Inferno Tech's last login...

And without permissions to re-distribute it's not likely unless you code up your own similar version .

I have the VB4 version.....

This is the Inferno vBShout Pro v2.5.2 for vB4.0, however, this is just a shortened version, commands etc remains same as vb38x

Install the mod as normal.


Go to the template: FORUMHOME (or were ever you want it to display)
Then Find: $navbar
Add this underneath the code:
PHP Code:

<!--SHOUTBOX-->

And your welcome.

Hey Mike

I noticed his absence, but I thought if someone had adapted, he could put in the thread, which itself is subject to verification of the license if the author returned and that the adapted version does not like, it will simply be removed.
