Chat Modifications - Dion Dev Shoutbox v2.1 (AJAX)

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
2. delete all the shout*.php files from your web server
3. remove the old shoutbox code from whatever template you added it to
4. follow the "fresh installation instructions" below

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

FRESH INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

1. extract the zip file onto your computer
2. log in to your admin cp
3. go to plugins & products -> manage products -> add/import product -> browse for "product-ddsb2.1.xml" -> click "import"
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:

"<!-- / guest welcome message -->
<br />
</if>"

and copy and paste the contents of "template.txt" after that.

6. go to vbulletin options -> select "dion dev shoutbox v2.1 options" at the very bottom of the list
7. edit all the options as you please and then click on the "save" button

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

ADDITIONAL OPTIONS:

1. if you want to change the amount of time it checks between shouts, open up "shoutshow.js" in notepad and change "2000" to whatever number, in milliseconds, you want it to wait between checking for new shouts

love this shoutbox!
but now i want to move on with vb 4.1 and i ask myself if this shoutbox works with 4.1, and would be even more awesome, if it would work as a widget!

anyone can help me?

I liked your shoutbox a lot until I realised that it does not use VBulletin's permissions system, so I uninstalled it. Then I started getting these errors. I have removed the entire /shoutbox directory and reverted the template edits yet I keep getting the database errors! :

"Database error in vBulletin 3.8.4:

Invalid SQL:

select s.*, g.opentag, g.closetag
from shoutbox as s, user as u, usergroup as g
where u.userid = s.user_id and g.usergroupid = u.usergroupid
order by id desc
limit;

If you try clicking on the links to the two "scripts" above, you will see that they do not even exist on our server anymore ... yet the errors persist.

Please help! :erm:

Apparently, these guys are out of business.

I tried to link to their URL and it is no longer registered. I deinstalled it and I still see part of the shoutbox still visible - like a shell of itself.

Pretty disappointing.

I don't know what to do now.

Never mind. I figured it out. Deleted the code added to Forum Home. All is well now.
