Chat Modifications - vbshout 2.0 in one forum only

All credits going to Zero Tolerance for releasing vBShout 2.0 and Abe1 for the instructions to use vBShout on all pages.

Here once again the full instructions:

1) Install vBShout

2) Edit plugin "vBShout [Template Alteration]" and make the following changes:

a) Change the Hook Location to "global_start"

b) Find and delete:

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:

$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace($Position, $Position . ' $Shoutbox', $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']);

and replace with:

if ($forumid ==169) 
{ 
$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY'] = str_replace('$navbar', '$navbar' . ' $Shoutbox', $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY']); 
}

3) Edit plugin "vBShout [Template Cache]" and make the following changes:

Find:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == "index")

Replace with:

if (VB_AREA == "Forum")

Change

if ($forumid ==169)

to the forum id you would like to show the shoutbox ...


Since vbshout has been changed several times, I have attached also the vbshout.php and the product (already modified).

It does work on both my forum with 3.54 and 3.6.0 Beta 3 (works only below navbar)

I got a weird error upon displaying a profile.

What was that?

[utw-Mephisto]

??

Maybe incompatible version .. but again .. Paul removed the files so I cannot even give you the version which works fine anymore .. sorry ..

[letsjoy]

sounds good

[World8X]

It does work just fine on vBulletin 3.6.0 for me ...

[iran.gs]

how and where is this hook ??
a) Change the Hook Location to "global_start"

[mwsforums]

When using this hack, my forum no longer loads, and I get the following fatal error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: isbanned() in (server stuff)/forums/global.php(357) : eval()'d code on line 142

EDIT: Further to this, when I replace the deleted isbanned() functions, my forum loads, but when I go to the forum I want the shoutbox displayed, the box is there, but with this error displayed in the shoutbox....

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare isbanned() (previously declared in (server stuff)/forums/vbshout.php:133) in (server stuff)/forums/global.php(357) : eval()'d code on line 140

Will this work with 3.6

how and where is this hook ??
a) Change the Hook Location to "global_start"

I need to know to?

[reteep]

This is too unstable for production use, removing the banned functions results in many problems when editing preferences.

[Jealousy10312]

It works for me with 3.6. Have a look: www.blabsource.com

I just have a question myself:

How do I remove the option for users to change colors? My board has a white backround & if someone uses white, then the text cannot be seen.
