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

tweak you dont replace that do you?? I think it says add above that!

[TWTCommish]

He's right: you don't remove that line. It should still be sitting there at the end of the file.

the line you replaced is the line that outputs the entire forumhome template, or in other words the entire page, if you delete that you won't get a page at all, you have to add it above it.

It uses something like 20 queries per pageload. That ain't much at all, man.

Yet another awesome hack

[DarkDraco07]

i tried to install this hack acouple times and i keep getting a white page, and its not the same as the earlier problem.
someone please help

You're not allowed to post any full vB files. Anyway, I don't know what's wrong...you shouldn't be getting a white page if you still have this line as the second-to-last in your /index.php file:

PHP Code:

eval("dooutput("".gettemplate('forumhome')."");");
