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"

So, we have to give access to banned users to see the shouts? Is there any way around that?

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())); 
} 


On the last part where it says ($bash, iif($vbulletin .... is that iif supposed to if ?

Yes, I will be working on that in a day or two hopfully.

I noticed, that nearly all of my users have "Shoutbox" into their WOL Status. (since i use VBShout on all pages). Is it normal?

[Wachtmeister]

Just a bit more specific...

Why are all the users into the Shoutbox onto WOL Status? They aren't :surprised:

Thanks for the pic. A picture is worth more then 1000 words.

It has to do with the shoutbox updating. Since it's the last thing that are refreshing, that is what vb things they are by.

[Wachtmeister]

Just an idea:

Can you change it, that the WOL status is not updated, if someone looks to the shoutbox (boxed) on any page? (in a thread, on forumhome, etc.)

Maybe you can update the WOL status just if someone clicks onto "Shoutbox" to view the detailed status about most posters and more.

Or maybe make it an option?

[Gizmo5h1t3]

was hoping someone could come up with a fix for this WOL problem....
i imagine there are other members on here, that like to use the "who`s online", to see where members are on the board at any given moment....its sooo frustrating seeing that theyre all vierwing the shoutbox, when its obvcious they arent!!

lmao
