"Who Is Online (Shouting)" in the vbShout shoutbox

The original vbShout is required for this (obviously) and can be downloaded here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=93097

Because my members keep using the shoutbox more as a chat room, they asked if it would be possible to get a list of users currently online/participating in the shoutbox.
OK, and this is what I smashed together as an answer to this request

This addon adds an IRC like userlist to the right side of the shoutbox.
Like the shoutbox itself, the userlist gets updated with AJAX calls as well, so it's always up-to-date, no reloading required

Technically it shows a list of everyone who shouted in the last three minutes.
Who hasn't shouted for three minutes is considered "to be somewhere else" and no longer available to talk to, and so does not get listed anymore.


*INSTALLATION*
================
Is pretty easy.
Just upload the "vbshoutwol.php" to your forums root (i.e. .../forum/) and do the two edits (described in the README) to the "forumhome_vbshout" template for all styles you wanna use the WOL list on.

If you have the "Template Manager" installed on your board you can simply import the template .XML also included in this archive - this saves you the manual edits

"Template Manager" can be found here:

tried installing this... I was getting
"Loading...." and nothing would happen, so I uninstalled the hack, still "loading...." Then, I completely uninstalled vbshout, reinstalled, still the same problem... Any help here?

Anyone come accross a problem with a user being stuck in the list of chatters?? I've got a user there for a couple of weeks now. Doesnt make a difference if he comes online or not his name is there.

I've tried disabling all plugins. Reverted templates. Put the code back in the templates. No joy. This "list" of active users must be stored somewhere, but where? No database table was created, so I cant think where.

Any ideas?

[zemic]

Simple and effective............Re-installed VBShout. Didnt have to take off this mod as well. If someone has an easier way of doing it, please post. But if you're desperate for a solution, this works

I keep getting an Unknown Location for this plugin in the who's online list, when I want it to show "Viewing Index". Is there anyone out there who can fix this for me? Thanks!
