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"

Yes I have the same problem

Fatal error: Call to undefined function isBanned() in /global.php(349) : eval()'d code on line 112

The error occurs with the following parameters:

Options vBulletin >> Vbshout options >> Banned Permissions:

Choose access permissions for banned users, by default they will not be able to post shouts: >> Can not view shoutbox

This error occurs only with vBShout on all pages not on the traditional shoutbox

Any chance with making something like this work with the drupal plug in? I'd cream in my pants if that happened cause I can't figure out how to make it work. I'm trying to make this site which is currently a huge PostNuke style site and convert it over.

http://www.faygoluvers.net - the current site, sign up and see the features and massive themes.

http://www.fall-guy.com/lounge/2/ - new beta for it.

Just installed and all work well except when users are viewing the vbagallery .. shoutbox shows, but is always 'loading' !?

How can i uninstall this?

> a) Change the Hook Location to "global_start"

What was the original string? ;-) I just want the Shoutbox onto forumhome due to too much traffic now

Is there maybe a chance to have the Shoutbox also on my Arcade? I don't want the SB on every page. Just on Forumhome and Arcade.

I don't suppose there's a way to put it on select pages instead of every one of them is there? I wouldn't mind it being in my General Discussion area, but don't know if I want it in my tech sections.

im sure you can go into the template and make an <if> condition to exclude it from certain forums...yes?

[PsiNyde]

also, is it possible to put this hack inside of amykhar's left/right_column hack instead of under the navbar?
