"Who Is Online (Shouting)" in the vbShout shoutbox

The original vbShout is required for this (obviously) and can be downloaded here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=93097

Because my members keep using the shoutbox more as a chat room, they asked if it would be possible to get a list of users currently online/participating in the shoutbox.
OK, and this is what I smashed together as an answer to this request

This addon adds an IRC like userlist to the right side of the shoutbox.
Like the shoutbox itself, the userlist gets updated with AJAX calls as well, so it's always up-to-date, no reloading required

Technically it shows a list of everyone who shouted in the last three minutes.
Who hasn't shouted for three minutes is considered "to be somewhere else" and no longer available to talk to, and so does not get listed anymore.


*INSTALLATION*
================
Is pretty easy.
Just upload the "vbshoutwol.php" to your forums root (i.e. .../forum/) and do the two edits (described in the README) to the "forumhome_vbshout" template for all styles you wanna use the WOL list on.

If you have the "Template Manager" installed on your board you can simply import the template .XML also included in this archive - this saves you the manual edits

"Template Manager" can be found here:

Have fun!

It seemes that in FireFox the HTTP_REFERER isn't always given.
I tried this: if ($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] == "") { $HTTP_REFERER = "http://my.page.nl/"; }
But that doesn't do the trick.
Any ideas?

I'm actually going to transfer the shoutbox on the Javachat page, in order to have a multiple shoutbox / irc java chat page

Just a quick question: Is the one below the line to manipulate the time a user is show to be "online" ?

PHP Code:

$tframe = time() - (60 * 3); 


I guess the "3" is the number in minutes (vbshoutwol.php, line 8)

cheers, ze :raucher:

@mbader71: Change 3 into any limit you want
This line is found in vbshoutwol.php at line #8

I'm finding that it only updates if you, the user, is typing into the shoutbox. If you are just reading the previous shouts, it does not update along with shouts that are being cast. Any ideas?

I've been looking in it for myself and I found a "quick and dirty" sollution.
At the top of the script I added this line:

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

This supresses the Notice errors.
It's not pretty, but it does the trick in Firefox


Edit: Actualy I see this code a lot in vBulletin scripts. I guess it's not so dirty after all
