vB Shout in one forum

[SiriusBlack22]

I asked a guy on a forum that has it working in one forum and he said:

For the shoutbox, all you need to do is add the html code to the forumdisplay template and wrap the code with a template conditional that will only display the shoutbox in forumid=xx

Although I'm greatful for his reply it makes little sense to me. Could someone dumb it down for me?

Thanks!

<if condition="$forum[forumid]=='x'">vb shout code</if>

Replace the x with the forumid number for the forum in which you wish it to show.

Where should I place this code?

Thanks for the reply by the way.

Place it in the forumdisplay template, but that way will probably need changes to the shoutbox plugins and code,

-or-

Install the vBShout on all pages add on which makes changes to the code to make it available for global useage, then instead of putting the code in the navbar template as instructed by those instructions, place in the forumdisplay template under

$navbar

[SiriusBlack22]

which code do I put in the forumdisplay template? How much do I follow their steps and then branch off into my own?

[peterska2]

follow until it gets to the template edit, then what it says to put in the navbar put into forumdisplay and put your conditional around it.

I asked the same a while back on vb.com

The only difference though, I also installed the hack to display it on all forums, but then this ;

I put this code in the forumdisplay template:

But I get this error:

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ']', expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/hpinacti/public_html/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3537) : eval()'d code on line 34

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.
