I'm sorry my support has seemed non-existant lately. Hold on and I'll try to answer everyone's questions and such.

On to the issue: I too get the "cannot make a blank shout" when using the wsywig to shout. I noticed a couple pages back it was mentioned that you had fixed it back in beta 5 but I didn't see any manual fix for this. I'm running 1.03d and everything else is working perfectly. Also, could you tell me what to edit to have a title for my shoutbox? Any help is appreciated

Beta 5 was a long while ago. WYSIWYG has been a +++++ all throughout the developement of this hack. I'll work on fixing JS/WYSIWYG problems in 1.04.

Thanks.

I'll look into it, as well as improving the process (although it has worked for me).

A stupid question, and probably right in front of my face...but where in the coding can I change the backgorund behind the shouts? Im using an image for my background on my forums, and do not wish it to be in the shoutbox as well.

shoutbox works fine, here, just cant get it to show on the homepage. Im pretty sure ive done all the modifications

Make sure you have edited the FORUMHOME template, and have it turned on in the options (vBulletin Options -> Shoutbox Settings) - and make sure you have updated usergroup permissions (edit a usergroup and save without changing anything).

You're not even using my shoutbox hack, so how can I help you?

I'll work on getting everything working for 1.04.

If it works completely, then that'll save me some time.

This would happen only if you allow guests to shout (via usergroup permissions) or something else is going on that is unrelated to this hack.

Second question: How can i make the bit with the actual shouts be equal distance from the edge (notice it's about twice as far from the corner of the table on the right, then on the left)?
Another thing, how can I add the Refresh and Archive buttons right oppsite the Shout Button on forumhome?

Thanks!

Both have to do with the shoutbox_iframe template.

1: Find:

<hr> <if condition="$therewasatoday ==

Simply remove the <hr> from that line.

2: Find:

$headinclude

Add under:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}
</style>

It will be like that by default in 1.04.

EDIT: Noticed you asked another question. Refresh button is simple. Still in shoutbox_iframe, find this:

<if condition="$therewasatoday ==

Add right before it:

<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="shoutbox.php?$session[sessionurl]do=iframe">[Refresh]</a>

This was taken out by accident before and will be placed back in in 1.04. As for the "archive" link - there is no archive. If you are talking about shoutbox.php, then "Shoutbox - Latest x Shouts" would be a link to it.

Any way to fix the width ?? the input field?

Either turn off the smilie box or make it use a standard textarea field - both are options in 'vBulletin Options -> Shoutbox Settings'.

I tried installing it through HTL, but it didn't work, then I tried it manually and it still doesn't work.. The template edits and new templates, as well as all the phrases and stuff seem to be there. But it doesn't appear on the main page, or when I run shoutbox.php it's blank.

Edit: I was able to get it on the main page, but it's still "blank" just as if I typed out the URL.

Sounds like the templates weren't installed to the style you are using. Make sure the templates are all there on all the styles (be it by them actually being on all styles or through style inheritance).
