vB Shoutbox 1.0

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

Is there any way to disable the [IMG] code? Members are abusing the Shoutbox by shouting extremely large pictures. Very annoying.

Another Great Hack TWTCommish! I am still trying to figure out how to put a preview box on my home page, but I am sure I will get it eventually.

I am using the myvbindex.php home page provided here at VB.org.

The bottom of my index.php file looks like this. I am trying to get multiple shouts to appear, no luck. Someone help me out here.

PHP Code:

$shoutz = $DB_site->query('SELECT u.username, s.userid, s.shout_text, s.timestamp FROM user u, shoutbox s WHERE u.userid = s.userid ORDER BY s.timestamp DESC LIMIT 10');
while ($shout10top = mysql_fetch_array($shoutz)):
    ++$shout10topnbsp;
    $shout[timestamp]  = vbdate('n-j-y, g:i:s a', $shout10top[timestamp]);
    $shout[shout_text] = bbcodeparse($shout10top[shout_text]);
    $shouts .= "<smallfont><b>Posted by <a href="member.php?s=$sesion[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&userid=$shout10top[userid]" class="small">$shout10top[username]</a><br> Posted @ $shout[timestamp]</b></smallfont><br/><smallfont>$shout[shout_text]</smallfont><br><br>";
endwhile;

eval("\$the_shoutbox .= "".gettemplate("forumhome_shoutbox")."";");
eval("dooutput("".gettemplate('forumhome')."");");

Replace the contents of the "forumhome_shoutbox" with:

PHP Code:

<tr id="cat">
    <td bgcolor="#1D6AA0" colspan="6"><a href="$bburl/shoutbox.php?s=$session[sessionhash]" title="The Shoutbox"><normalfont color="#EEEEFF"><b>The Shoutbox - Latest Shout</normalfont></b></a></td>
  </tr>
  
  <tr>
    <td bgcolor="#13486D" colspan="6">$shouts</td>
  </tr>
