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!

Yup, getting the same error.

And I uninstalled it, reinstalled it (without reuploading the files) and it seems to work fine, except, like ranj, the shouts are not visible. Also, the "Options" page is... empty. 0_o

Hey guys, sounds like two separate issues here - the first seems like it's being caused by the shoutbox being updated without being uninstalled first, the second sounds like it's being caused by missing files.

Can i ask you to completely remove the shoutbox from your server, then to try installing 2.5.0 from scratch and see if that works? If not could you head over to the support forums (a link is in the main mod post) So we can keep track of all the support in one place?

Thanks a lot =)

[PimvanJ]

I will when I found some time.
Thank You for Your quick response.

Keep up the good work!:up:

[ranj]

only the prob. left is that option button is not working..

[ovnnet]

I'm upgrade --> vesion 3.6.9 but shoutbox not work. Shoutbox loading...
Help me, Please!

[Inferno Tech]

ovnnet - uninstall the shoutbox, remove the files from your server, then reupload and reinstall the new shoutbox. After this hit ctrl+f5 on your page to refresh the javascript. Also *points to the main post* You'll get support etc much easier if you *use the support forums*
