Chat Modifications - vBulletin 3.x Shoutbox 1.0 (AJAX)

vBulletin 3.x Shoutbox 1.0 is a simple PHP and AJAX shoutbox script that is fully integrated with the vBulletin forum system. Once you have installed it you can place it in any of your vBulletin forum templates.

Features:

* Tested to work with vBulletin 3.x.
* It uses AJAX. This means that every time a new shout is posted by someone it will instantly display in the shoutbox without the page having to be refreshed.
* It is fully customizable. You can allow guests to post, select the number of shouts to display, and even change the name of the shoutbox.
* Only takes about 2 minutes to install. With very simple instructions in a small text file, you will have a unique shoutbox on your forum up and running in no time.
* It automatically inherits the style of the forum. If your forum has multiple style options, it uses the style the user has selected.

Is there a way this can remember what color, font a user has so it doesn't reset to default every time they come back to the homepage?

Here's a fix for that error.


Open shoutbox.js.

Find:

htmlRequest.send('message='+document.shoutform.message.value);

Replace with:

htmlRequest.send('message='+escape(document.shoutform.message.value));

You'd stick it in a vbadvanced template rather than the forumhome template...if thats what you mean.

Ah yes, the ampersand is a special character and had to be escaped...great fix! Will be added to next version.

hello, what are the commands and I get stuck on step 3 in the instructions. where do I find the "FORUMHOME" in admin cp? i'm using 3.7.2

[mlthmp]

Hello all! I am testing this out on my new VB 3.7.2 installation. So far its installed quite easily. However I have a question about customization.

Im trying to figure out how to have the display "stacked" I used the code listed above, and while it did stack it, I was wondering if it was possible to change the order.

I'd like to try and get the "Submit Shout" button and area below the shouts field. When I used the code listed previously it put the submit shouts on top of the shout area.

One more question. I'm having to limit the shoutbox's size some, and the copyright in the bottom looks bad. the last word "Dev" is shown on the next line instead of on one. Is it OK if I just remove one word from the copy right "This" and leave it just "Shoutbox is powered by © Dion Dev"

The last part isn't a big issue.. I can just up the size some if needed.. but I'd really like to stack the fields in the other order.

Thanks

*EDIT*

Nevermind.. I came up with another solution to keep the areas as-is.. Thank you for this excellent mod! It will come in quite handy. Also, for the record shouts can be deleted/edited from myphpadmin.. I believe someone asked about that earlier.

Any updates?

This is not picking up my custom style (Element skin) which is located at images/element (not root folder).

I also cannot find any option to administer this (delete posts, etc).
