vBShout On All Pages

Didn't really know where to put this..
Requirements:
vBShout
Description:
This is pretty much an extension of the arcade shout mod. I was trying to figure out how to get the shoutbox on all pages, and so decided to use the ArcadeShout code to do it. This is a very simple hack.

Visit: http://dnlister.com to view a live version of it.
To install, first open the plugin manager, and find the vBShout [Template Alteration] hook. Open it for editing. Replace all of the code inside with:

function htmlProof($text){
  $text = stripslashes($_POST['message']);
  $text = htmlspecialchars($text);
  $text = preg_replace('?<(/?(b|i|font|font color=.*?))>?ie', 'html_entity_decode(\'$0\')', $text);
  return $text;
};//EoFn htmlProof

$Used    = 0;
$UsedArr = array();
$smilies = $db->query_read("
		SELECT smilieid, smilietext, smiliepath, smilie.title,
		imagecategory.title AS category
		FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "smilie AS smilie
		LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "imagecategory AS imagecategory USING(imagecategoryid)
		ORDER BY imagecategory.displayorder, smilie.displayorder
	");
$Smilie_Build  = '';
$Total_Smilies = $db->num_rows($smilies);

if ($Total_Smilies > 0)
{
	while ($emo = $db->fetch_array($smilies))
	{
		if ($vbulletin->options['shout_smilies_show'] > 0)
		{ 
			$Smilie_Cache[] = $emo;
		}
		else
		{
			$Smilie_Build .= '<a href="#" onclick="return sb_Smilie(\''.$emo['smilietext'].'\')"><img src="'.$emo['smiliepath'].'" alt="'.$emo['title'].'" border="0" /></a> ';
		}
	}

	if ($vbulletin->options['shout_smilies_show'] > $Total_Smilies)
	{
		$vbulletin->options['shout_smilies_show'] = $Total_Smilies;
	}

	if ($vbulletin->options['shout_smilies_show'] > 0)
	{
		while ($Used < $vbulletin->options['shout_smilies_show'])
		{
			$GetEmo = $Total_Smilies;
			$GetEmo = rand(0, $GetEmo);

			if (!in_array($GetEmo, $UsedArr) && $Smilie_Cache[$GetEmo])
			{
				$Used++;
				$GetEmo = $Smilie_Cache[$GetEmo];
				$Smilie_Build .= '<a href="#" onclick="return sb_Smilie(\''.$GetEmo['smilietext'].'\')"><img src="'.$GetEmo['smiliepath'].'" alt="'.$GetEmo['title'].'" border="0" /></a> ';
			}
		}
	}
}
else
{
	$Smilie_Build = 'No Emoticons Available';
}

$Options_DropDown         = array(); // Items included will be parsed to create drop down menus
$DropDowns                = array(); // Completed constructed drop down menus

$Options_DropDown['font_selector']    = array('Default', 'Arial', 'Arial Black', 'Arial Narrow', 'Book Antiqua', 'Century Gothic', 'Comic Sans MS', 'Courier New', 'Fixedsys', 'Franklin Gothic Medium', 'Garamond', 'Georgia', 'Impact', 'Lucida Console', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Microsoft Sans Serif', 'Palatino Linotype', 'System', 'Tahoma', 'Times New Roman', 'Trebuchet MS', 'Verdana');
$Options_DropDown['color_selector']   = array();
$Options_DropDown['color_selector'][] = 'Default';

$hex   = array();
$hex[] = '0';
$hex[] = '3';
$hex[] = '6';
$hex[] = '9';
$hex[] = 'C';
$hex[] = 'F';

for ($a = 0; $a < 6; $a++)
{
	for ($b = 0; $b < 6; $b++)
	{
		for ($c = 0; $c < 6; $c++)
		{
			$Options_DropDown['color_selector'][] = '#' . $hex[$a].$hex[$a].$hex[$b].$hex[$b].$hex[$c].$hex[$c];
		}
	}
}

if (is_array($Options_DropDown))
{
	foreach ($Options_DropDown as $Menu => $Options)
	{
		$DropDowns[$Menu] = '';
		if (is_array($Options))
		{
			foreach ($Options as $Selection)
			{
				if (preg_match("#^\#([a-z0-9]+)$#i", $Selection))
				{
					$Extra = ' style="color:'.$Selection.';"';
				}
				else
				{
					$Extra = '';
				}

				if ($Selection == 'Default')
				{
					$Text = (($Menu == 'color_selector') ? 'Color' : 'Font Face') . ' [Default]';
				}
				else
				{
					$Text = $Selection;
				}

				$DropDowns[$Menu] .= '<option value="'.$Selection.'"'.$Extra.'>'.$Text.'</option>' . "\n";
			}
		}
	}
}

Then open up the Header template, and go to the very bottom, and add this:

<!-- ArcadeShout -->

After that is done, you will have a shoutbox on all pages! It works fully, aswell. To change the name,
Find in the above code:

<center><a href='vbshout.php?{$session['sessionurl_q']}do=archive'>ShoutBoxX</a></center>

And change the text saying ShoutBoxX.
To change the size, find:

<div id="vbshout" style="overflow:auto;height:84px;width:100%;">

And change the hieght value.


All done! Everything should be working, and you will have a shoutbox on all pages!

Quick question...........I followed the step's and it does work as shown, but when you log out, it leave's you with an error;

ShoutBoxX

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /vbshout.php on line 288

[cat4m]

can anyone answer the above question please ??

[Feckie (Roger)]

If you put the code for the ArcadeShout Script @ the bottom of the Navbar template. instead of the header it looks better under the navbar than above it...

</u> = end underline
<font color="#000000"> = Colors in hex, replace the 000000 with the color you want.
<font size="any # here"> = Put a number
<img src="http://putthishttplinkheretogetanimage"> = Makes an image appear

This rocks!!! Can you please let me know exactly where to add this?

I put this at the bottom of my navbar and love it there.. but then it shows on the adv cmps.. and it doesnt work there... just blank any advice on how i can exclude it from there?

[MTVSlick]
