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"

Do you know how to show the vbshout not on every page, but certain forums only ?

Hey, is there any way to have it 600px high on one specific page, but to have it 100px high everywhere else?

I'm having problems with this mod and my skins. It works until I get to 2c, then the shoutbox disappears.

Any ideas?

Open the navbar template and make sure '<!-- / nav buttons bar -->' is in it. If not, add it where you want the shoutbox.

Hey Abe1,

I had someone yell @ me to make this work on vBgallery and your hack.
This might be something ZT should add to the main Build ?

Adding:
$vboptions[bburl]/vbshout.php vs. vbshout.php in references.

Reason:
All links would show up in the gallery sub-folder as: /gallery/vbshout.php vs. /forums/vbshout.php



- In the XML installer of vbshout

Search: vbshout.php
Replace: $vboptions[bburl]/vbshout.php
