vB Shoutbox 1.0 · **Released**: 05-15-2002

Well, people wanted it, so here it is: a vB-integrated Shoutbox. It's a little different than the one they used to have on this site, however. The moderation functions are VERY basic...but they'll be improved for 2.0, most likely, if there's any interest.

A short breakdown:

It's a chatroom-esque page that everyone can use.
Shouts that day, shouts in last 24 hours, shouts by YOU, and total shouts, are all tracked.
Leaderboard (top shouters) is tracked.
Clickable smilies automatically added below the add shout box.
"delete" link shown on all shouts if you're an admin or a moderator (usergroupids 5, 6, and 7 by default).
bbCode parsing included.

Attached is an archive containing all the files you'll need for the basic installation, AND for the optional features. NOTE: the vBHacker compatible file included within does NOT constitute a full installation. You'll still need to upload the shoutbox.php file to your main forums directory.

Enjoy. Here's a live demo: http://www.movieforums.net/shoutbox.php

Yeah, that's what baffles me; I guess there's a difference in versions. Perhaps the vbcode.js file has changed recently?

<cries> My members are hurling abuse at me because the smilies don't work!

TWTCommish · #24 05-16-2002, 10:23 PM

What version of vB are you running? Can you send me your vbcode.js file?

John · #25 05-16-2002, 10:38 PM

Fixed it!

Now, this left me really confused. I had no "vbcode.js" file at all in my root directory, only a "code.js" - but the forum still functioned perfectly! (And I never changed it

)

Put a fresh vbcode.js in the root and it works fine...

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!

/me clicks INSTALL!

lordofgun · #27 05-17-2002, 01:37 AM

is ther a way to make the ($the_shoutbox) work on the forumdisplay?

TWTCommish · #28 05-17-2002, 01:42 AM

Sure. In your forumdisplay.php file, replace this:

PHP Code:


			
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('forumdisplay')."\");");

...with this...

PHP Code:


			
$shout             = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT u.username, s.userid, s.shout_text, s.timestamp FROM user u, shoutbox s WHERE u.userid = s.userid ORDER BY s.timestamp DESC LIMIT 1");

$shout[timestamp]  = vbdate('n-j-y, g:i:s a', $shout[timestamp]);

$shout[shout_text] = bbcodeparse($shout[shout_text]);



eval("\$the_shoutbox .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_shoutbox")."\";");

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('forumdisplay')."\");");

Whatcha got in mind, out of curiousity? I'd be interested to see where you put it.

You'd probably want to change the HTML in the forumhome_shoutbox template, however...it's designed specifically for the mainpage, what with the colspan and all.

THANKS BRUTHA!

i'd like to put it right above where the threads are listed. i';m not sure what kind of modifications i'll have to do...but i'm gonna play with it.

BEST HACK EVER!

lordofgun · #30 05-17-2002, 02:11 AM

BTW, if anyone wants to make something like the ($the_shoutbox) for the forum display, by all means, FEEL FREE!

TWTCommish · #31 05-17-2002, 02:22 AM

Right above the threads? Yeah, I can do that. Hang on, I'll get back to you. Glad you dig the hack, BTW, though personally I think the next one I'll be releasing is even better.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
