BVShoutbox 1.0

Features:

• Displays vBCodes and other post code allowances. (Depending on what the use is allowed in their signatures [for now])
• Admins can edit or delete shouts from the Admin CP.
• Built-in /me code.
• Archive page and IFrame on forumhome for shouting and reading.
• Archive page has multiple pages.
• Stats on archive page.

I plan to have added the following by the time vB 3.0.0 is released:

• Uses phrases for the Admin CP and shoutbox.
• Users can edit and delete their own shouts.
• User and usergroup permissions for the shoutbox. (canview, canshout etc)
• Seperate options for vBCodes in the shoutbox, instead of the same ones as for signatures.
• More options in the Admin CP. (mass delete, mass edit etc)

This has been tested on vB3 Gamma and RC 1

A demo can be seen here:

Thanks for the suggestion, I will add this soon.

I consider both your posts in this thread to be advertising your shoutbox.
Cuold you stop it please.


The next version should be out soon, hopefully by the time vB3 is released.

I am assuming that when an invisible user posts in SB their handle doesn't appear?

Was just gonna ask about this. I had the same problem...

[Lord Les]

To me, that's a huge bummer because the userid is not even recorded in the database. There is absolutely no trace of who posted the text.

I would love for this hack to have either:

1. Cut off the ability for the invis users to use the SB
or
2. At least log the true userid in the database.

I am leaning towards #1 as being a better and cleaner solution though.

Hrm, I (as well as the rest of my mod-team) are always invisible, yet the users can see our username's just fine in the SB.

Any idea how to make the SB unusuable to a moderated group for example?
