vB Shoutbox 1.0 · **Released**: 05-15-2002

Well, people wanted it, so here it is: a vB-integrated Shoutbox. It's a little different than the one they used to have on this site, however. The moderation functions are VERY basic...but they'll be improved for 2.0, most likely, if there's any interest.

A short breakdown:

It's a chatroom-esque page that everyone can use.
Shouts that day, shouts in last 24 hours, shouts by YOU, and total shouts, are all tracked.
Leaderboard (top shouters) is tracked.
Clickable smilies automatically added below the add shout box.
"delete" link shown on all shouts if you're an admin or a moderator (usergroupids 5, 6, and 7 by default).
bbCode parsing included.

Attached is an archive containing all the files you'll need for the basic installation, AND for the optional features. NOTE: the vBHacker compatible file included within does NOT constitute a full installation. You'll still need to upload the shoutbox.php file to your main forums directory.

Enjoy. Here's a live demo: http://www.movieforums.net/shoutbox.php

Excellent idea. I'll write that down for the next version. Coolness.

Just like to say this is an excellent add-on for vB, the users love it

but there is a small issue I discovered today; I was reprimanding a few users for spamming on it and my shout took longer than 180 seconds to type...of course the page refreshed and I lost everything I had typed

Easy to fix I know but something you might want to remember for future versions...but as I said, good stuff

Upgraded to 2.2.6, all working perfectly, thanks again Chris!

When users submit a shout it is submitting 20+ times please help!!!!

TWTCommish · #**126** 06-21-2002, 04:43 PM

That sounds like either a problem with your server, or your users are just hitting the button again and again, because no one else has reported such a problem and I don't see how it has any bug that would produce such a result.

Well I am the only one who shouted so far...would u like to check it out?

also when submitting a shout the page seems to time out, some type of loop seems to be occuring here....

I was able to fix the multiple posts but adding a new shoutbox.php that limits shouts to 60 seconds but the time out is well...annonying

Thank you very much for the help!

Well, you can take the refresher out altogether.

Anyway, I'm virtually positive that this is a server issue of some sort...I don't see how the script could be at fault, really.

Limpkinw · #**129** 06-21-2002, 04:58 PM

OK any idea how it woudl be a server issue? and if so how to fix...maybe a reboot would help?

TWTCommish · #**130** 06-21-2002, 05:07 PM

I really don't know, that's not my forte. I'd recommend asking your host.

Limpkinw · #**131** 06-21-2002, 05:09 PM

See thats the thing I am the host

I guess I will keep on pluggin away here. Thanks a lot for helping!

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
