The Arcive of Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

BVShoutbox FULLL · **Released**: 04-06-2004

Features:

Displays vBCodes and other post code allowances.
Admins can edit & 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.
Uses phrases for the Admin CP and shoutbox.
Users can edit and delete their own shouts.
Usergroup & Administrator permissions.
Find shouts by specific users (in the admin cp)
Seperate options for vBCodes allowances and what to display

If there's any features anyone wants added, I'll try and add them. I think I added everything people asked for in the previous version, apart from the upgrader, which will be added to the ZIP file when i've setup another test forum and added the previous version to it

There shouldn't be any problems, because I've tested the installer three times.
And I haven't had any problems with the actual shoutbox, or shout manager.

I'll attach some screenshots of all the custom scripts, if anyone asks for screenshots of the add ons for the permissions and stuff ill take them, dunno why anyone would want them tho...

This has only been tested on vB 3.0.0 GOLD

You know the iFrame where the text appears? Because of the skin I use, the background for the iFrame uses the background for the skin, which is dark and unreadable. Does anyone know where it is that I can change the background colour to white?

If you followed the installed instructions, you will find the iframe where you put it: in forumhome, under $navbar :squareeyed:

I've fiddled around with code in the Forumhome, and within the Shoutbox area, and the best I've come up with is this:

This is one of the easiest hack I ever installed. Since I read a couple of complaints about the iframe, I harcoded it in forumhome and it's fine, placed the validate javascript in the <head>, and changed the redirect back to the forum home... looks good. I made it display only one shout, but that could easily be changed into any amount.

Erm, how would you go about doing that?

mooecow · #**201** 11-27-2004, 03:23 PM

he just took the code im guessing and went about putting it in the FORUMHOME template and then took the redirection and put it in the head area

you have to put the redirection in the php as per intructions below (last)

This code below above the line towards the end in forum/index.php

// ### ALL DONE! SPIT OUT THE HTML AND LET'S GET OUTA HERE... ###

PHP Code:


			
    $shouts = $DB_site->query("

        SELECT s.*, u.username

        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "shout s

        LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user u ON (u.userid = s.userid)

        ORDER BY dateline " . $vboptions['shoutframeorder'] . ", shoutid " . $vboptions['shoutframeorder'] . " LIMIT " . $vboptions['shoutframeamount'] . "

    ");

    while ($shout = $DB_site->fetch_array($shouts))

    {

        $shout['date'] = vbdate($vboptions['dateformat'], $shout['dateline']);

        $shout['time'] = vbdate($vboptions['timeformat'], $shout['dateline']);

        $shout['pagetext'] = parse_bbcode($shout['pagetext'], 'shoutbox');



        if ($shout['userid'] == 0)

        {

            $shout['username'] = "<i>" . $vbpharse['guest'] . "</i>";

        }



        if (substr(strtolower($shout['pagetext']), 0, 3) == "/me")

        {

            $shout['pagetext'] = str_replace("/me ", "", $shout['pagetext']);

            eval('$shoutbits .= "' . fetch_template('shoutbox_main_message_me') . '";');

        }

        else

        {

            eval('$shoutbits .= "' . fetch_template('shoutbox_main_message') . '";');

        }

    }

place this in forumhome before </head>

PHP Code:


			
<script language="javascript">

<!--

function validate(theform)

{

    if (theform.message.value == "")

    {

        alert('$vbphrase[you_must_enter_a_shout]');

        return false;

    }

    else

    {

        return true;

    }

}

//-->

</script>

replace the iframe code in forumhome (below $navbar or where you have it) with:

PHP Code:


			
<!-- shoutbox -->

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="$stylevar[tablewidth]" align="center">

<thead>

    <tr>

        <td class="tcat" colspan="2">

            <a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_shoutbox')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_shoutbox" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_shoutbox].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>

            <if condition="$bbuserinfo[userid] > 0"> <a href="shoutbox.php?$session[sessionurl]"></if>Short Public Messages<if condition="$bbuserinfo[userid] > 0"> </a></if> <if condition="$bbuserinfo[userid] > 0"> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<form action="shoutbox.php" method="post" onsubmit="return validate(this);" name="shoutform">

<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />

<input type="hidden" name="do" value="insert" />

<input type="text" style="background-color:#DBDBDB;width:80;" name="message" id="message" value="" size="60" />

<input style="background-color:#DBDBDB;border:1px solid color:#C0C0C0;height:21px;"

type="submit" value="$vbphrase[shout]" class="button" />

</form> </if></td>

    </tr>

</thead>

<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_shoutbox" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_shoutbox]">

    <tr>

        <td class="alt1" width="100%">



        $shoutbits

        </td>

    </tr>

</tbody>

</table>

<!-- end shoutbox -->

replace your shoutbox_main_message template with:

PHP Code:


			
<div class="smallfont">[$shout[date] <span class="time">$shout[time]</span>] <strong>$shout[username]:</strong>-

                    $shout[pagetext]</div>

I got it set in admincp to display only one shout. If you want to display more, place:

<div style="height:30px; width:100%; overflow:auto;"> in forumfome shoutbox code before $shoutbits and that will add a scrollbar. And then goodbye iframe.

And don't forget in shoutbox.php to replace the redirection.

PHP Code:


			
    // insert into the database

    $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "shout

        (userid, dateline, pagetext)

    VALUES

        ($bbuserinfo[userid], " . TIMENOW . ", '" . addslashes($pagetext) . "')

    ");

    $shoutid = $DB_site->insert_id();



    header("Location: http://yoursite.com/forums");



    exit;

The same thing can be done with homepage, by simply inserting the code in there.

And the other guy wants to make people pay for this????

Tru Smiles · #**203** 11-27-2004, 05:47 PM

I get "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: parse_bbcode() in /home/perfecte/public_html/comm/forum/index.php on line 542" when I try and do that with the index.php o_O I do have a few other hacks installed though.

And I think the other guy meant that he would pay people if they did this :P

Lionel · #**204** 11-27-2004, 06:53 PM

put this in before new code
require_once('./includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php');

as for free... here is one of the two posts

Tru Smiles · #**205** 11-28-2004, 07:34 AM

I didn't realise you had to pay for support o_O

Right, the main page is loading and everything, and the redirect code is into shoutbox.php, but when I click on shout, it just loads up a blank page with nothing. Maybe this script just doesn't like me or something :P

If I can't get it working right, I'll have to figure out how to uninstall it again.

you probably skip the step of the javascrit in the <head> </head>. This is meant to validate the form and prevent what you are saying from happening. (the blank page). Instead you get an alert box.

Tru Smiles · #**207** 11-28-2004, 07:36 PM

Yeah, I put that in the forumhome head the first time, and nothing o_O;;

I think I'll have to uninstall it, so, uh, thanks very much for your help ^__^

Tru Smiles · #**208** 11-30-2004, 07:42 AM

Actually, its gonna be very difficult to uninstall, as I have added about five more extra hacks to it >_< So, do I have to pay to get support for it? o_O

Kagen · #**209** 11-30-2004, 05:01 PM

my problem is i cant even run the shoutbox install or anything
