Create a working vBa Module for Inferno vBShout 1.1+

[m002.p]

Are you sure you added "adv_index" to your page deployment area?

yes I'm postive even have it set to global deployment, I can get it to show on any page without even adding it to the deployment area, however, if you intergrate a vbadvanced page with say, your memeberlist or your forumhome, then the shoutbox won't show up. I can and did create your module, that worked fine on vbadvanced portal page, but with it intergrated with my forumhome, even though I have the module there, it doesn't show up. So thats two for two, shoutbox refuses to show up. Refuses to display as itself and as a vba module.

I am guessing that a may have something to do with the fact that the shoutbox also checks the script its being deployed on and something happens when you intergrate the two.

I can't solve it.

If you PM me your URL and a temp admin CP login with access to styles & vbulletin options only, I can take a look.

I get my shoutbox showing on the vBa Portal Page and on the forumhome at once together

Alright, thanks for the tip! Works just fine for me. ^_^

I've got a similar problem ... the shoutbox runs fine on the index.php page (which is my vBa CMPS), but not on any other intergrated pages.

Did you manage to find a fix for this?

Never mind - found a fix on another forum (phew)

Make the inferno shoutbox plugins run AFTER the vbadvanced ones, in the plugin manager you'll be able to set the execution order of plugins, by default things are 5, try setting inferno shoutbox ones to 6

This worked for me!

Thanks for the tip ^^^^

Glad it works

I need some help. I am trying to install Inferno_Shoutbox Lite into a module. I've got it working in the Forum just below the navbar but want to move it to the CMPS module center section. (ergo this thread I am following)

There appears to be a big leap of faith on instruction #1, the uploading of the module. What should all the cmps options be set to when doing the upload? After I did the upload and the Edit Modules page is displayed, I thought I did something wrong because it did not show in any column. So, I uploaded it again. I then realized I have two entries in the left column (I specified center?) that have no underlined title name, just the "Move to" and Order boxes. I now know these are the vbshout.modules I uploaded but no way to select them, change them or remove them. What happened?

Guess I'm stuck at this point.

Help!

Update: Looking at the link to the arrows for the nameless modules, I was able to figure out they were numbered 16 and 17. So I copy/pasted the url to edit one of the named modules and substituted these numbers so I could edit them and remove them.

So I guess I'm back to the Upload step or the faulty attached vbshout.module in this thread.

Not one to give up easily, I forged ahead.

I uploaded the module a third time and then crafted a URL to edit the nameless module. This time I set the Module Title to "InfernoShout", set the column to "Center Column", display order to 2 and set Active to Yes.

In the Template to Include, I have adv_portal_[vbshout ]

The rest of this setup is fuzzy because the instructions above do not say what should be set (another example of a programmer trying to write documentation maybe?)

Module Shell Template Options is set to No.

Usergroups is set so only registered users can view the module.

With that set, it still does not display in the center column.

So I check Step #2 and confirm that the template exists and that the correct shoutbox text was cut and pasted in. It is. Still no box.

Step #3, yep, see above since I seemed to have to do these steps out-of-order with the buggy no-name problem. it is there, active and set to the center column. The modules page shows it to be active and have the correct sort order. Still no box.

Step #4, I edited the code and placed http://www.cvmusclecars.com/ into all the places it asked. I think it did 4 search/replaces. Still no box.

Step #5, Edited the .js and did the same thing. Still no box.

Step #6, This I was not able to do because the search line does not appear in the inferno_shoutbox_box code anywhere.

Step #7, I made sure I have "index,index_cmps" in the Page Deployment box. I use index_cmps as my default page when going to the website and the forum also exists in the root.

Still no box.

What now?

Hello sorry about the delay in reply,

Could you provide me with your URL and if you could; set up a temporary account to the admin CP options & styles only, that would be great so I can take a look for you. If you are willing to do this, please PM me this info.

Thanks

So is this what i have to do in order to get the shout box to display under the navbar on my index since I have my forum setup to run within CMPS?
