"Who Is Online (Shouting)" in the vbShout shoutbox

The original vbShout is required for this (obviously) and can be downloaded here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=93097

Because my members keep using the shoutbox more as a chat room, they asked if it would be possible to get a list of users currently online/participating in the shoutbox.
OK, and this is what I smashed together as an answer to this request

This addon adds an IRC like userlist to the right side of the shoutbox.
Like the shoutbox itself, the userlist gets updated with AJAX calls as well, so it's always up-to-date, no reloading required

Technically it shows a list of everyone who shouted in the last three minutes.
Who hasn't shouted for three minutes is considered "to be somewhere else" and no longer available to talk to, and so does not get listed anymore.


*INSTALLATION*
================
Is pretty easy.
Just upload the "vbshoutwol.php" to your forums root (i.e. .../forum/) and do the two edits (described in the README) to the "forumhome_vbshout" template for all styles you wanna use the WOL list on.

If you have the "Template Manager" installed on your board you can simply import the template .XML also included in this archive - this saves you the manual edits

"Template Manager" can be found here:

Have fun!

[rjmjr69]

ok as far as the importing of the XML file with the template manager what do I do to do that? I do not want to mess things up. Can someone please explain what are the procedures to import it

I wonder why after I installing and using this mood, everytime I go to online.php,
It doesn't show the correct position of user. It oftenly show /vbshoutwol.php

Anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Thanks

EDIT: Who's shouting show's up underneath the shout box in firefox for me, if it floats left its under the shoutbox on the left. It I have it float right, it's under the empty space on the right where it should be. In IE it's fine.

In case anyone's still having this problem, I can help, as I just fixed it recently (in Firefox, using vB v.3.5.2)...

In your forum admin, Styles & Templates / Style Manager, go to the forumhome_vbshout template and look for this line:
<div id="vbshoutwol" class="alt2" style="overflow:auto;height:100px;width:12%;float: left;">

and change it to

<div id="vbshoutwol" class="alt2" style="overflow:auto;height:100px;width:11%;float: right;">

It's these two variables in particular that needed to be changed:
width:12%;float:left;
changing them to:
width:11%;float:right;

Save & Reload and check it and see.

You may need to play around with the width, making it slightly smaller (say, 10%). But 11% fixed it for me.

I've got it on my forums at http://forums.raven-games.com

Best of luck!
