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"

I am trying to follow the instructions. Here are the problems I am having:

Step 1.) No problem
Step 2a.) Done
Step 2b.) Where is this? This does not look like the text in my vBShout [Template Alteration] plugin

Mine, looks like this:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == "index")
{
	global $globaltemplates;
	$globaltemplates  = array_merge($globaltemplates, array('forumhome_vbshout'));
}

Step 2c.) Where do I find this piece of code.
Step 3.) No problem

BTW, I am using Ajax's vBShout.

Your mixing up 2b and 3.

No, 2b clearly states.

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

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()));
}

And 3 Clearly states

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

Find:
if (THIS_SCRIPT == "index")

Replace with:
if (VB_AREA == "Forum")

I do not see a mix up here. The code I am told to look for in steps 2b and 2c does not exist as far as I can see. Maybe you can tell me what template/file/plugin I am supposed to find it in?

2b and 2c are in the same place as 2a

[Holidazed]

I understand what you are trying to say, but your instructions on step 2 say:

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

The things it is telling me to look for are not there!

Mine looks like this

if (THIS_SCRIPT == "index")
{
	global $globaltemplates;
	$globaltemplates  = array_merge($globaltemplates, array('forumhome_vbshout'));
}

That is all that it says. Where do I find this other text you are referring too?

The only text that matches your instructions are in step 2a and step 3

[Abe1]

you will find 2b and 2c in plug-in "vBShout [Template Alteration]"

OK, I did all you said to do. I found all the entries and made the changes, Now I am getting this error on my main forum page.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function isBanned() in /home/dungeon/public_html/vbb350/global.php(349) : eval()'d code on line 112

Could this be because I an running vbb3.51?

It have something to do with the banning open and using the 2nd choice. I havn't figured it out yet.

[Holidazed]

Any ideas on this yet?

Is this mod being supported? Maybe it should be moved to the beta forums as it still does not work.
