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"

Is it possibly to custoomize this to my forum at www.money-guide.net ?
If so, how?

Sorrry, I'm a newbie, and need a little help, but would be really appreciated if I got it.

If someone could contact me at MSN that would be great.
