Add-On Releases - vbshout 2.0 in specified forums 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 (in_array($forumid, array(169,170)))
{ 
$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY'] = str_replace('$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 (in_array($forumid, array(169,170)))

to the forum ids in which 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)

dont understand how to do this on all forums

[Knightmane]

Would it be okay... where it says change $forumid, array (169,170)

to set it to (forumhome, and the forumid) of a single forum?

Example: $forumid, array (forumhome,170)

Or does it have to be numbers? I don't want to lose the shoutbox on the forumhome page. Any suggestions?

Thank you, this is perfect, and works like a champ right out of the gate. I spent an hour pouring through the original thread, I'm so glad I found this one.
