Mini Mods - vBShout v2.0 on CMPS v3.0 RC2

This is our first hack.

I couldn't find a CMPS module to place a working vBShout v2 on CMPS v3.0 RC2. When I used the original hack, all I got was the "Loading..." message. So I've asked my team to take a look and they came up with a solution.

We hadn't had a chance to test it on other boards, but it works on ours, so I hope it'll also work for you. If not, post here and we'll try to figure it out.

For some reason I can't create a correct uploadable version of this module, so here's the manual installation:

INSTALLATION

1. Create a new template module: vBa CMPS > Add Module > [Template Module]

2. Fill in necessary fields, enter the following code into the Template Content field:

<td class="alt1" align="left" width="100%">
	<form action="vbshout.php?{$session['sessionurl']}" method="post" name="vbshoutform" onsubmit="return postShout(this)">
		<input type='hidden' name='do' value='shout' />
		<input type='hidden' name='color' />
		<input type='hidden' name='fontFamily' />
		<input type='hidden' name='fontWeight' />
		<input type='hidden' name='textDecoration' />
		<input type='hidden' name='fontStyle' />

	<if condition="!$vboptions[shout_editor_position]">
		<if condition="$bbuserinfo[userid] > 0">
			<table width='100%' border='0' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>
				<tr>
					<td width='100%'>
						<input type="text" name="shout" style="width: 90%" class="bginput" />
						</td>
						<td style='white-space:nowrap' width='1%'>
							<input type="submit" value="Shout" class="button" />
							<if condition="$vboptions[shout_extra_options]">
							<input type='button' class='button' value='Clear' onclick='sb_Clear()' />
							</if>
						</td>
					</tr>
					</table>
					<div style="height: 2px"></div>
					</if>
				</if>
					<div id="vbshout" style="overflow:auto;height:{$vboptions['shout_box_height']}px;width:100%;">
						Loading...
					</div>
				<if condition="$vboptions[shout_editor_position]">
					<if condition="$bbuserinfo[userid] > 0">
					<div style="height: 2px"></div>
					<table width='100%' border='0' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>
					<tr>
						<td width='100%'>
							<input type="text" name="shout" style="width: 90%" class="bginput" />
						</td>
						<td style='white-space:nowrap' width='1%'>
							<input type="submit" value="Shout" class="button" />
							<if condition="$vboptions[shout_extra_options]">
							<input type='button' class='button' value='Clear' onclick='sb_Clear()' />													
							</if>
						</td>
					</tr>
					</table>
					</if>
				</if>
				</form>
				</td>

Works Gr8 :up: Thankyou

[xTerMn8R]

Tried all the suggestions but it still sits there "LOADING" on Home Page... As far as SmEdD's suggestion, I found that a bit unclear, Would you mind showing an example of the change in the TEMPLATE? And the change in the vbshout.php file , should that be the same whether iTs a Unix Box or a Windows Box?

BTW I'm running Apache on Windows, PHP5x, MySQL 5.x, using WAMP(Windows,Apache, MySQL, PHP package) vbulletin 3.70 and CMPS 3.0. Had these things working fine in 3.6.x

Thx for any and all help.

Got this to work on my site Vb 3.8.2

DEMO: http://spiralgaming.net/

Thanks Again

Just a suggestion... you know how there is a /me feature in it.
What about a /admin for shout just to admins.

Anyway....
