vBShout on all pages!

vBShout on all pages!

Works for vBShout version 2.0

This hack will make vBShout show on all pages of your side. BUT, will only alow the shoutbox to be placed under the navbar.

1) Install vBShout (Download here)

2) Edit plugin "vBShout [Template Alteration]" and make the following changes:

a) Change the Hook Location to "global_start"

b) Find and delete:

PHP Code:

function isBanned($user)
{
    return (isBanned_Check($user['userid'], 'shout_banned_users') || isBanned_Check($user['usergroupid'], 'shout_banned_usergroups'));    
}

function isBanned_Check($bash, $against)
{
    global $vbulletin;
    return in_array($bash, iif($vbulletin->options[$against], explode(',', $vbulletin->options[$against]), array()));
} 


c) Find:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace($Position, $Position . ' $Shoutbox', $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']); 


and replace with:

PHP Code:

$Position = '<!-- / nav buttons bar -->';
$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar'] = str_replace($Position, $Position . '<br /> $Shoutbox', $vbulletin->templatecache['navbar']); 


3) Edit plugin "vBShout [Template Cache]" and make the following change:

Find:

PHP Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == "index") 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

if (VB_AREA == "Forum") 


There is the same info in the zip.


Done. Make sure you clicked "install"

i imagine there are other members on here, that like to use the "who`s online", to see where members are on the board at any given moment....its sooo frustrating seeing that theyre all vierwing the shoutbox, when its obvcious they arent!!

lmao

This is not my problem. It's the main shoutboxes problem. If you didn't have this hack installed, all users that are on the main page would be showed viewing the shoutbox.

I assumed since you posted it here, you thought it was this hacks problem. i would assume you would post it in the main hack thread this problem.

Anyway, I maybe able to come out with a fix. No garranty on it, or how long it will take.

I've got no clue.

thanks for the reply, do you think it could have something to do with the forum width or cell/margin/border spacing etc?
