Duckways: Shoutbox | Realtime using NodeJS & Socket.io



What is this mod all about?

A lot of forums come with a shoutbox. However, we've seen so many resource eating shoutbox versions that we thought it would be cool to release one based on NodeJS and Socket.io.
This shoutbox does not refresh it's content every X seconds for every user. Instead, it pushes the new message to all users using a websocket. Blazing fast with less resource consumption.

(!!) To use this plugin you need to have NodeJS/NPM installed on your webserver. This requires some server knowledge, so if you can't do it yourself please contact your hosting company or use our installation service (Email us at quack@duckways.com).(!!)

(!!) We now also offer a hosted node version, which you can run right away without installing anything server-side. This comes at the price of $4,95 a month. Contact us on quack@duckways.com for more info or to buy.(!!)



Features free version
- Parses bbcode/smiley's
- Set usergroup permissions to view the shoutbox
- Set usergroup permissions to post in the shoutbox
- Users can edit their own shouts

Features pro version
- Parses bbcode/smiley's
- Set amount of shouts to display
- Set usergroup permissions to view the shoutbox
- Set usergroup permissions to post in the shoutbox
- Set usergroup permissions to edit shouts (moderator)
- Set usergroup permissions to delete shouts (moderator)
- Users can edit their own shouts
- Shoutbox archive in AdminCP to read back (including deleted shouts & who deleted them!)

About Duckways

We're a company with a team of developers who have been working a lot on a vBulletin 4 system for two of our customers. The largest one with over 200,000 users and 4 million posts.
This one migrated to vBulletin 5 recently and we've faced quite some issues in vBulletin 5 which we'll fix by writing custom modifications. Some of those, which are worth sharing, will be added here on vBulletin.org. If you're missing a feature or add-on, please feel free to contact us.



How to install:
  1. Upload all files from the "upload" folder to your forums directory.
  2. Log in on SSH and navigate to the folder {forumroot}/core/packages/duckwaysshout/node
  3. Run the command "npm install" (Make sure you have NodeJS / NPM installed on your server!
  4. Start your node server using the command "node server.js", it should now start listening on the port that is set in the server.js file. Please make sure your firewall doesn't block this port. If you want to keep the server running while you leave the terminal, please use one of the many solutions written on StackOverflow:
  5. In AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product in the "OR import the XML file from your server" and fill in: ./core/packages/duckwaysshout/xml/product_duckwaysshout.xml
  6. Go change every usergroup you have and set the permissions for the shoutbox.
  7. Final step: Go to your homepage and open de website editor. You'll find a new widget you can drag onto your page: Duckways Shoutbox. Save the page after you gave the shoutbox a nice spot and you're ready to go!



Version history

Please check your console in the browser on the page where it shows the shoutbox, or hit me up with an URL so I can check it for you

Edit function should work too- make sure you set the permissions for all usergroups (Go to usergroups, click edit behind the group and find the permissions on the edit page).
I have the permissions set correctly and the Web Console isn't showing any errors.
After clicking "Enter" or "Shout" the shoutbox is still white. After clicking "Refresh" the shout appears. Editing doesn't work at all. It simply re-posts the original shout. Again, no error in the console. I'm going to try changing the port first. I'll let you know what happens.

Thanks, let me know how it goes! I just did a fresh install of the plugin on a brand new vBulletin v5.3.4 setup and it worked right away as is should. Maybe try removing the folder 'node_modules' in core/packages/duckwaysshout/node and then run 'npm install' again from the same location.

Happy to help if it doesn't work out for you. Just leave me the details in a PM or on quack@duckways.com!

We just set up a demo here: https://vbulletin.duckways.com/forums/

Demo user 1:
username: demo1
password: DemoUser1!

Demo user 2:
username: demo2
password: DemoUser2!

Demo user 2 has moderation permissions (edit and delete shouts made by others).




We just updated a few components and will upload release 1.0.1 soon.

I'm still working with my host to get all the required items installed at my web server, because the same thing is happening now on my forum at the moment.

Edit: Is it possible to display new messages on top?

Sorry, our server.js wasn't running. I just set it to permanent run using screen. It should now work as aspected.


You should go to the folder "core/packages/duckwaysshout/node/", run "npm install" and then run "node server.js". If you run your website using ssl, please edit server.js to use the SSL certs.

The last error in your console basically tells you that it wasn't able to connect to socketio. Please make sure you're using the plugin version 1.0.1 which has been added to the first post AND that the port (default now is 2096) is allowed in your firewall If not, make sure to add it!
