vBShout on all pages!

vBShout on all pages!

Works for vBShout version 2.0

This hack will make vBShout show on all pages of your side. BUT, will only alow the shoutbox to be placed under the navbar.

1) Install vBShout (Download here)

2) Edit plugin "vBShout [Template Alteration]" and make the following changes:

a) Change the Hook Location to "global_start"

b) Find and delete:

PHP Code:

function isBanned($user)
{
    return (isBanned_Check($user['userid'], 'shout_banned_users') || isBanned_Check($user['usergroupid'], 'shout_banned_usergroups'));    
}

function isBanned_Check($bash, $against)
{
    global $vbulletin;
    return in_array($bash, iif($vbulletin->options[$against], explode(',', $vbulletin->options[$against]), array()));
} 


c) Find:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace($Position, $Position . ' $Shoutbox', $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']); 


and replace with:

PHP Code:

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


3) Edit plugin "vBShout [Template Cache]" and make the following change:

Find:

PHP Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == "index") 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

if (VB_AREA == "Forum") 


There is the same info in the zip.


Done. Make sure you clicked "install"

thx for editing it still

does that display it at the bottom of all pages the way it usually shows? or does this display the shoutbox like this: on the left side of the forum?

i would love vbshoutbox to be displayed only fully if somebody clicks on it, but other then that a minature version exactly where it is displayed right now.

Sorry, this hack is not for that shoutbox.

It is for AJAX vBShout.

Sounds great, anyone try it with vbadvanced yet? It uses the main navbar template by default. I'll do some guinea piggin' tonight if not.

Use this: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=148082 to disable plugins.

Then make sure you DID all the plug in edit! It seems like you did not do setp 2b. After, enable plugins again.

CORRECTION: checking over the error again, you must have not made the plugin for the right hook. make sure it is global_start.

Looking at global.php, there is no hook even on line 363. Did you ever edit global.php?
