Dion Dev Shoutbox v2.1 (AJAX) · **Released**: 05-08-2009

DEMO URL:

http://www.diondev.com/vb

-------------------------

NEW FEATURES:

- simplicity was kept in mind
- new archive layout that uses a table with name, message, time, and ip & delete for admins/supermods
- shoutbox files are all in one folder
- new option to change the width and height of the shoutbox iframe
- new option to allow supermods to delete shouts
- new collapsable shoutbox template that flows better with forums
- ip addresses are now stored along with shouts
- B, I, U, and color buttons for shouts that are remembered for each shout until the member navigates away from the page
- javascript bug fixes that caused messages with "&" and other symbols to cut off
- name colors based on group open and close tags
- new option to automatically parse urls
- removed guest shouting all together (after being disgusted with some of the things written in the shoutbox on my site, i will never re-add this feature so don't bother asking)
- new hide shoutbox from guests option
- uses a little cache system so it only redraws shouts if a new shout has been made (saves bandwidth)
- and some more features I may have forgot to mention

You can see the old feature lists in the old shoutbox vb.org threads:
Dion Dev Shoutbox v2.0
vBulletin 3.x Shoutbox 1.0

-------------------------

UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS:

1. uninstall the old shoutbox product from your admin cp

4. upload the entire "shoutbox" folder (DO NOT RENAME IT) to your main vbulletin directory
5. copy and paste the entire contents of "template.txt" into the template you want the shoutbox to show up in

if you want the shoutbox to show at the top of your forum index, go to the FORUMHOME template and find:

"

Okay so this should work. Open shoutinsert.js and change

Code:

var url = 'shoutbox/shoutinsert.php';

to

Code:

var url = 'forums/shoutbox/shoutinsert.php';

Save it as something like shoutinsertcmps.js and upload it with the rest of the shoutbox files.

Now go and create a new template under your style manager. Name it: adv_portal_shoutbox , paste this in:

Code:

<!-- Dion Dev Shoutbox v2.1 -->
<if condition="!$show[guest] || $vboptions[ddsb_guest_show]">
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.yoursite.com/forums/shoutbox/shoutinsertcmps.js"></script>

We use the shoutbox for a few months now, without any problems :up:

But I tried to install vBadvanced and now the smiley's doesn't work anymore

If I look at the properties of the "red-cross"symbol I see that the URL is http://www.*****.nl/forum/http://www.../icon_razz.gif

But the URL must be: www.*****.nl/forum//images/smilies/icon_razz.gif

Anyone an idea what the problem can be? Because we miss "our" smiley's

Thank you!

B@Zzz... · #**144** 01-02-2010, 06:14 AM

Now I manualy changed the URL's of the smiley's in the database and now it's working again. The url was http://www.***.nl/forum//images/smileys/**.gif and I changed it in images/smileys/**.gif (what a job to do with 180 smiley's )
Now the shoutbox is working again, but vBadvanced CMPS is still uninstalled...
When I install it again, I will have the same problem...
Is there a solution to fix this problem?

B@Zzz... · #**145** 01-15-2010, 06:03 PM

Isn't there anyone who can help me to solve my problem?

Help

I am getting a Page Not Found showing up in my Shout box.

See: http://www.chasingthechuckwagon.com/forum/index.php

What am I missing?

- Ok. It would help if I copied the correct folder into my Vbul directory. Working now and looking good!

Thanks,

Mike, GameGavel.com

I'm rewriting the shoutbox for vb4. It should be posted within the next couple of weeks.

captkirk · #**149** 01-30-2010, 09:39 PM

Excellent, can hardly wait, since Inferno shoutbox project is dead.

elwachiman · #**150** 01-30-2010, 09:42 PM
