Chat Modifications - vbshout 2.0 in one forum only

All credits going to Zero Tolerance for releasing vBShout 2.0 and Abe1 for the instructions to use vBShout on all pages.

Here once again the full instructions:

1) Install vBShout

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

a) Change the Hook Location to "global_start"

b) Find and delete:

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:

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

and replace with:

if ($forumid ==169) 
{ 
$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY'] = str_replace('$navbar', '$navbar' . ' $Shoutbox', $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY']); 
}

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

Find:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == "index")

Replace with:

if (VB_AREA == "Forum")

Change

if ($forumid ==169)

to the forum id you would like to show the shoutbox ...


Since vbshout has been changed several times, I have attached also the vbshout.php and the product (already modified).

It does work on both my forum with 3.54 and 3.6.0 Beta 3 (works only below navbar)

I think you misunderstand the purpose of this ... This is an addon / change to display the shoutbox not just on forumhome but in subforums / forums .. It just happen to work on vb 3.6 Beta .. I did not write it is a new version ..

[aldo7a]

A lot of thanks my dear now i understand what you mean

[Paul M]

I have removed the vbshout files as they should not be attached to this thread, the instructions are all that is needed, you have a link to the vbshout thread for people to get the actual modification files.

[SiriusBlack22]

you ROCK.

[RFViet]

Can i have vbshout in separate forums ?? So , each forum, members can have live help with Moderators !!

[Lord Draco]

Will it work with the VBulletin 3.6.0 Release Candidate 1?

[Jon.]

It doesn't appear to work with release candidate 2. I've set it all up, and it's not appearing in the specified forum (ID 23)

[utw-Mephisto]

It does work just fine on VB 3.6 RC2 for me ..

But because Zero released several versions of vbshout, I attached the files of the version I am using which have been removed by Paul I am afraid .. I had to figure it out myself that not all versions are working
