vB Shoutbox 1.0

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

Now i found a way to display the order of the smilies like on that hack.

Just replace:

PHP Code:

$smilies = $DB_site->query("SELECT title, smilietext, smiliepath FROM smilie ORDER BY smilieid ASC LIMIT $smilie_limit"); 


with

PHP Code:

$smilies = $DB_site->query("SELECT title, smilietext, smiliepath FROM smilie ORDER BY RAND() ASC LIMIT $smilie_limit"); 


Have fun!

What's this hack for? Will it fix the problem of the smilies not being displayed properly in the shoutbox? Btw what php is this to edit?

No the "Randomsmilies-Hack" shows your clickable smilies randomly (when you refresh the page). You find this code in shoutbox.php.

Have you "Smilies in Signatures" (vBulletin Options) turned off? That could be a reason!

BTW: Why is your header and footer not displayed?
