I have vB 3.7.

How can i integrate it in all pages, not only in forumhome.
i have put $scast in navbit template and i have choose "custom" in the plug-in, but it doesnt work. its only worls in forumhome.

shoutcast in navbit at vB 3.6 worked in all pages. what is the different between 3.6 and 3.7.

Does this require anything else to work, like membership in shoutcast?

Or just install the mod, and it'll work?

No, no membership needed.
- This will allow you to display on-line status of a shoutcast server.
- It can be a personal, company, or favorite station.

The biggest problem people have is with their web host allowing the script to query the remote shoutcast server. Security issues with PORTs. Many hosts only allow queries for data on port 80 (http, rss, xml feeds). I have seen many webhosts designate a port for "other" needs of their clients.

My whole site crashed after install. I get the following errors:
Warning: require([path]/includes/shoutcast/cache_templates.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/global.php(365) : eval()'d code on line 189

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/dominic/public_html/includes/shoutcast/cache_templates.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/dominic/public_html/global.php(365) : eval()'d code on line 189

I've uninstalled your product, yet the problem exists.

[anoob]

The sites working, the product is not. Any ideas why I got that error?

Works great with 3.7.0
I just ask web host to open port 8000 and they did.

did you upload all the files?

[anoob]

I re-read the instructions, which I followed to the letter, than I looked at what I downloaded, and noticed there is a includes/shoutcast dir, there is no mention of this in the directions.

I am going to try uploading that dir and see what happens.

I read earlier in this thread "the only thing you change, is your Server Name, The IP and then the Password,?

To what settings?
