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"

What I am doing wrong? I keep looking for "vBShout [Template Alteration]" and for the life of me, I can't find that. I have looked in the plugin itself on the admin panel. And I have looked in the plugin section, I can see all the vBShout entries in there, but NONE with the name [Template Alteration]. Am I just not looking in the correct place? I want the chatbox to be under the navbar on ALL the pages.

welp I got the fatal error...then I found the global start hook after I deleted the hack....sigh.......the template you're looking for is under plugins in admin cp

[RatherBecamping]

What is this error?

Fatal error: Call to undefined function isBanned() in /home/usarvfor/public_html/USARVFORUM/global.php(360) : eval()'d code on line 409

I SHout works like a champ before I try to install the shout on all pages hack. YES I followed your instructions to the letter.

[skepticality]

Okay.

I must have lost my mind. For the LIFE of me I can't find the correct spot in the Admin CP where I do the changes I need to do for the shoutbox to be on all the pages. People keep referencing the spot, and that makes sense, but WHERE is it in the system? It isn't too obvious in there sometimes and every time I think I figured it out... I break something in a rather tragic manner... <sigh>

Has anyone out there made this shout system end up on all your pages? Cause, it seems that my users would like that quite a bit...

Thanks again.

[RatherBecamping]

Admincp>Plugins and Products>Plugin Manager

You'll see the templates you need to edit there. Hope you have better luck than I did.

[skepticality]

Thanks...

So I guess you didn't get it to work either? Cause, I found all the templates... but none of them are named "[Template Modification]". Then I attempted to be 'smart' and went into the actual php files to see where it was doing the magic... and... got lost. <sigh>

Has anyone made this work on all the pages of their forum?

If you have, can you let us know the 'trick'?

Thanks!

can you not make another php so we can just upload that and have it on all the pages as i dont even know what a hook is and where to change it...i know its silly but its a request hope u can do it thanks
