BVShoutbox 1.0

Features:

• Displays vBCodes and other post code allowances. (Depending on what the use is allowed in their signatures [for now])
• Admins can edit or delete shouts from the Admin CP.
• Built-in /me code.
• Archive page and IFrame on forumhome for shouting and reading.
• Archive page has multiple pages.
• Stats on archive page.

I plan to have added the following by the time vB 3.0.0 is released:

• Uses phrases for the Admin CP and shoutbox.
• Users can edit and delete their own shouts.
• User and usergroup permissions for the shoutbox. (canview, canshout etc)
• Seperate options for vBCodes in the shoutbox, instead of the same ones as for signatures.
• More options in the Admin CP. (mass delete, mass edit etc)

This has been tested on vB3 Gamma and RC 1

A demo can be seen here:

I made a little modification to allow users to see it in all displays. I took the portion you are supposed to put in the Forumhome template and put it in the Navbar template instead. Heres the Navbar template so you can see what I did. I forgot to mention this is RC4.

 <script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function log_out()
{
	ht = document.getElementsByTagName("html");
	ht[0].style.filter = "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(grayscale=1)";
	if (confirm('$vbphrase[sure_you_want_to_log_out]'))
	{
		return true;
	}
	else
	{
		ht[0].style.filter = "";
		return false;
	}
}
//-->
</script>

[msimplay]

dont like the idea of that ^
on everypage would increase server load and slow forums down

[Revpolar]

Someone wanted to know how. I agree on large forums but for small ones its fine.
Oh and BTW its like its in the header this way so its not like multiple shoutboxes its the same single shoutbox.

[catocom2]

Installed on RC4, and working fine.

[Revpolar]

Ok so now that my shoutbox is on every view i get every user is viewing index in who's online. How do I tottally disable whos online for the shoutbox?

[NuclioN]

Is it possible to add a small message field above it so you can shout on the forumhome?

[monstergamer]

dude you got that update for the shoutbox?

[jedimaster]

Thanks for this- my users are going to love it! Clicked install (using RC4 if it matters).

[gmarik]

There seems to have been a slight problem with the The Rubber Ducky Community database.

[thuffner]

Love this hack, but one question. Is there any way that the Usergroup "Users Awaiting Email Verification" can NOT post in the Shoutbox? I have a heckler that is getting on my nerves who entered a fake email on registering...

EDIT: Also, what about a minimum-posts-before-able-to-shout option?
