BVShoutbox 1.0

Features:

• Displays vBCodes and other post code allowances. (Depending on what the use is allowed in their signatures [for now])
• Admins can edit or delete shouts from the Admin CP.
• Built-in /me code.
• Archive page and IFrame on forumhome for shouting and reading.
• Archive page has multiple pages.
• Stats on archive page.

I plan to have added the following by the time vB 3.0.0 is released:

• Uses phrases for the Admin CP and shoutbox.
• Users can edit and delete their own shouts.
• User and usergroup permissions for the shoutbox. (canview, canshout etc)
• Seperate options for vBCodes in the shoutbox, instead of the same ones as for signatures.
• More options in the Admin CP. (mass delete, mass edit etc)

This has been tested on vB3 Gamma and RC 1

A demo can be seen here:

EDIT: Also, what about a minimum-posts-before-able-to-shout option?

he said he was going to add all the options you just posted
just waiting for the release of it

as i to am looking forward for the banned from shoutbox and faster way of deleting/editing a shout

So which shoutbox is better, this one (Black Vivi) or the EverythingvB version?

Help, just confused .

I personally think this one is just a little cleaner, and a bit faster.
Although I may install Vivi's later just because the frontend seems a little more integrated,
with the users part. ??? I haven't decided yet on that though. :ermm:

Hey Black Vivi, Is there an HTL version yet? I have a few styles and don't want to add 10 templates for each one...-_-

oops I got confused....
I meant I have this one installed which IS Vivi's.
I may install EVB's later, but not if there is going to be money cost involved.

I believe be "EVB's" you are refering to mine, which was released here, at vB.nl, and at EvB, right?

Well, here's what I think. My shoutbox hack is completely free as is this one. It has a lot of features and permissions, a lot more than this one currently has. However, this one has cleaner HTML as well, and I believe Black Vivi is adding a lot of the features I have into his shoutbox.

When it comes down to it, it's merely personal preference.

Yes your version is the one I was referring to.
I didn't mean it to sound disrespectful there, quite the opposite.
By "cleaner" I actually meant less to code, "not as advanced".

I have a problem, I installed the hack, but something is wrong...the main forumhome template works with the shoutbox hack, but when I click on Archive, nothing happens, and when I click on the Shoutbox, it gives me this error: Parse error: parse error, expecting `']'' in /home/smasher1/public_html/forums/shoutbox.php(231) : eval()'d code on line 165

WHAT DO I DO?! IE keeps telling me is has something to do with the "shoutbox.php?do=addnew"

[SmasherMaster]

OK I got it working finally, but here's a slight problem, what's all this stuff in the shoutbox.php and how do I get rid of it...

Help...

[catocom2]

it should look similar to this...

when a hack doesn't do right for me, I always go back over every
change, and file, first to make sure I didn't miss a step.
