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:

Brilliant work.

A stupid question, and probably right in front of my face...but where in the coding can I change the backgorund behind the shouts? Im using an image for my background on my forums, and do not wish it to be in the shoutbox as well.

Is there anyway to limit the amount of shouts displayed in the Iframe? About 10 would be ample.

sorry i havent been on for so long, motherboard fried
i did have a backup of the shoutbox, it wasnt the latest, but it's pretty close to what it was like before, and i think ive made it so its better than before now, so ive just got to test the installer and upgrader and ill be able to release it

yeah is there a way?

[tpircsvb]

in shoutbox.php
replace this:

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 DESC, shoutid DESC LIMIT 25
    "); 


with this:

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 DESC, shoutid DESC LIMIT 10
    "); 


and change the 10 to the amount of shouts you want to show



the installer and upgrader aren't working properly at the moment, but theres only 1 problem with the scripts, so the new version should be released soon

After installation I lost the NAV bar on my main page. When I go to the forums I can see it. Any ideas on what to check? I have enclosed a screenshot.

Also how is the best way to move the shout box to the bottom of the page?
