I manually did the changes for the shoutbox for someone's board for them. It made the shoutbox TOTALLY disappear. I then Overwrote the options with the XML product that you attached, and still, nothing. I then uninstalled the product. Then I reinstalled, and nothing still happened. I'm thinking that the version of the shoutbox that they have might be old, but i'm not sure. I do not have access to the FTP, is there any way that I could tell without that?

Mmm.. I got mine to work on every page, including some custom modifications placing it in the header.
Can't remember what I did

It was a simple plugin change, didn't use this one though

Does look harder -.-

Works for me, great hack! Any way of getting it to show on the arcade page? Arcade is ibpro.

[Ziki]

I think there is a hack like that in here

[ICY ICE]

uninstalled old.....reinstalled new....

Works like a charm!

Is there a way to get the shoutbox on the footer?

[Ziki]

Sure just change this:

$Position = '<!-- / nav buttons bar -->';
$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar'] = str_replace($Position, $Position . '<br /> $Shoutbox', $vbulletin->templatecache['navbar']);

to :

$Position = '<!-- /content area table -->';
$vbulletin->templatecache['footer'] = str_replace($Position, $Position . '<br /> $Shoutbox', $vbulletin->templatecache['footer']);

[ICY ICE]
