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 thinking about installing this one we will see what happens...

[Jon.]

I'm having a problem. It's only appearing on the homepage, and nowhere else . Any ideas?

EDIT

Ooops, being an idiot, i forgot to do the first modification and change forumhome to global whatever... Works now

Awesome hack, btw

If you follow all orders, you will get a white page as forum start page ...

Well I know that much. LOL I will try it again (3rd time) maybe it'll be a charm.

[ashley53680]

Tried again for the 3rd time and it, completely wipes away the shoutbox?? This is a pretty easy (so I thought) straight forward mod. I don't see what I would've missed 3 times. Could it be interacting with something else I have installed?

I switched vBShout [Template Alteration] to global_start. I took out the first "find". I replaced the second "find" in that same area. Then in vBShout [Template Cache] I replaced the "find". I mean it's not that hard. :knockedout:

I just wondered if anyone else had this issue, and overlooking something that is probably obvious?

THANKS!

I have been trying to do this too , but I have the same problem as you , We both must be missing something ... On a side note , I wonder if this mod will work with 3.6 ??

[ashley53680]

I don't want to even think of 3.6 yet. LOL
