"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!

I tried installing this but it just says loading.

I uploaded the 1 file to my forums folder.
I moded the templates.

any pointers? thanks.

Weird.
This usually means the .PHP file isn't sending any response.

Can you give me a URL to take a closer look?

It was my fault. When i did a search for requestShouts() it put me in the middle of the page, where the requestShouts() I was looking for was at the bottom. installed and working perfect. thank you.

It's the one at the bottom of the forumhome_vbshout template

Useful .. thanks for the hack Hellcat
Clicked install

That should be specified in the installation read-me since there are multiple instances of requestShouts().

EDIT: Who's shouting show's up underneath the shout box in firefox for me, if it floats left its under the shoutbox on the left. It I have it float right, it's under the empty space on the right where it should be. In IE it's fine.

why is this?? And how can I make it right? o_0

this is my template code at the moment:

<div id="vbshout" style="overflow:auto;height:{$vboptions['shout_box_height']}px;width:88%;float:left;">
						Loading...
					</div>

					<div id="vbshoutwol" class="alt2" style="overflow:auto;height:{$vboptions['shout_box_height']}px;width:12%;float:right;">
					<div id="vbshoutwolhd" class="tcat">Shouting:</div>
					<div id="vbshoutwolusers">
						Loading...
					</div>
					</div>
					<div style="clear:both;"><img src="$vboptions[cleargifurl]" border="0" hight="1" width="1" /></div>

tried setting the 12% one to right, didn't make any difference.. just switched sides..
what is causing the line to break here?? o_0

Same problem as me, are you using firefox? Because in IE it shows up fine, I hope someone who knows more about this than me will respond soon, I really like this feature, but where it's at is annoying.

[Hellcat]

I'm already on it

[EDIT]
I just tried my own forum in FireFox and it works fine, so it should something else.

Thanks alot Hellcat, really appreciate!

Edit: Oh, well I'll dig around and see, any idea what could affect the placement of the who's shouting box?

[Hellcat]

I guess it's just another <div> issue.... well, we'll see

Yeah, I'll mess around with the <div>'s and see if it helps anywhere.
