BVShoutbox 1.0 · **Released**: 01-02-2004

Features:

Displays vBCodes and other post code allowances. (Depending on what the use is allowed in their signatures [for now])
Admins can edit or delete shouts from the Admin CP.
Built-in /me code.
Archive page and IFrame on forumhome for shouting and reading.
Archive page has multiple pages.
Stats on archive page.

I plan to have added the following by the time vB 3.0.0 is released:

Uses phrases for the Admin CP and shoutbox.
Users can edit and delete their own shouts.
User and usergroup permissions for the shoutbox. (canview, canshout etc)
Seperate options for vBCodes in the shoutbox, instead of the same ones as for signatures.
More options in the Admin CP. (mass delete, mass edit etc)

This has been tested on vB3 Gamma and RC 1

A demo can be seen here:

That works great monstergamer. Be sure to change the code twice in the template too, once for registered users and once for unregistered users.

Thanks for that monstergamer.
I've updated the zip so there shouldn't be any bottom scroll with future users, and have sent an update.

I have an idea for the unknown location thing, which I will be testing in a while.

@ Black Vivi ... I am running vB RC2 and have just installed your shoutbox .. all went well and the shoutbox works perfectly .. however .. I still have the problem with all Logged in users appearing, on Who is Online, as Viewing the Shoutbox, even though they are elsewhere.

I have tried replacing the shoutbox.php, with both the updated versions .. but still the problem persists. Can you throw any light on a possible solution please

Edit .. all is Ok Now M8 .. looks as though it was a server prob .. uploaded the file a few times and it seems to have cured the problem .. Keep up the good work :up:

i have to thank Rocol for this code that i am about to post here...
i did change it from what he gave me, but he get full credit for it
this code right here well now show the members VIEWING THE INDEX in the whos online
the only thing is that it shows them looking at the index when they are looking at the shoutbox.php but it dose not show Unknown Location any more...

to make this change
in includes/functions_online.php

FIND

PHP Code:


			
case 'bugs':
   $userinfo['action'] = construct_phrase($vbphrase['viewing_x'], 'Bugs'); // Don't report 'bugs' as needing to be translated please :p
   break;

ADD BELOW THAT

PHP Code:


			
/// Shoutbox ///
  case 'shoutbox':
   $userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['viewing_forum'];
   if ($seeforum)
   {
    if ($wol_link[$forumid])
    {
     $userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['followed_forum_link'];
    }
    $userinfo['where'] = "<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forumid">$forumtitle</a>";
   }
   break;
  /// End Of Shoutbox ///

FIND

PHP Code:


			
case 'bugs.php':
  $userinfo['activity'] = 'bugs';
  break;

ADD BELOW THAT

PHP Code:


			
/// Shoutbox ///
 case 'shoutbox.php':
  $userinfo['activity'] = 'index';
  break;
 /// End Of Shoutbox ///

This is great!

Just one thing, how would you make the Shouts automatically refresh, say every 30 seconds?

Thanks

OK it is a very nice Hack - the best shoutbox here

First i found a small bug in the collapse code

old code

PHP Code:


			


Open the template FORUMHOME

Find this:



$navbar



<!-- shoutbox -->

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="$stylevar[tablewidth]" align="center">

<thead>

    <tr>

        <td class="tcat" colspan="2">

            <a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_shoutbox')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_shoutbox" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_shoutbox].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>

            <a href="shoutbox.php?$session[sessionurl]">Shoutbox</a></td>

    </tr>

</thead>

<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_shoutbox" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_activeusers]">    <tr>

        <td class="alt1" width="100%">

            <iframe src="shoutbox.php?$session[sessionurl]do=iframe" width="100%" height="120" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" border="0" name="shoutbox"></iframe>

        </td>

    </tr>

</tbody>

</table>

<!-- end shoutbox -->



<br />

My new code (replace it)

PHP Code:


			
<!-- shoutbox -->

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="$stylevar[tablewidth]" align="center">

<thead>

    <tr>

        <td class="tcat" colspan="2">

            <a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_shoutbox')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_shoutbox" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_shoutbox].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>

            <a href="shoutbox.php?$session[sessionurl]">Shoutbox</a></td>

    </tr>

</thead>

<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_shoutbox" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_shoutbox]">

    <tr>

        <td class="alt1" width="100%">

            <iframe src="shoutbox.php?$session[sessionurl]do=iframe" width="100%" height="120" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" border="0" name="shoutbox"></iframe>

        </td>

    </tr>

</tbody>

</table>

<br />

<!-- end shoutbox -->

thx
Soul

In the shoutbox_main template:

Find:

HTML Code:

<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">

Add below:

HTML Code:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="15;URL=shoutbox.php?$session[sessionurl]do=main">

* You can change the "15" to however many seconds you wish.
