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'm having to get rid of this hack... it's screwed up my forum. When I have this hack, the who's online constantly shows everyone viewing the shoutbox... even guests (the sb is hidden from guests) and bots.

It was a nice idea, but just not working.

I think there is a fix for that by the main thread of the hack.

No it's not a fix... it's an "I think this might work".... sorry, but I don't have time for mights

I had this too, in addition to the who's online problem. As soon as I deleted this "sb on every page" hack, it disappeared.

sorry Abe :ermm:

How do you have it show up only on a certain forum and for registered users & moderators only?

The following doesnt work.

PHP Code:

<if condition="$forumid == '5' & $userid=='(2,6)' ">
    <!-- / nav buttons bar --> 
</if> 


Help, please. This is a n00b question

Works fine except when I click on a username in the shout box and get the following message;

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /includes/functions.php(1097) : eval()'d code on line 5

How do I fix this?

[bashy]

Got a serious problem peeps
I have tired this again and it didnt work, I put itback to how it was

Now i get this error when trying to access admincp

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '[' in /home/sites/bashys-place.com/public_html/forums/includes/functions.php(1064) : eval()'d code on line 4

I have now resolved the issue but for some reason i cannot use this hack
Big shame though....

Are you using the 2nd option not allowing users to view the shoutbox?
