Chat Modifications - GCBOS Widget for vb Suite Gold!

I made this Widget Because I Want to Add Shout Box at the Main Page Side Bar of My Site.

THIS Instruction Assumes that You Already Installed the GCBOS Shout Box
Instructions:

Admin CP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > YOUR TEMPLATE > Add New Template

<div class="cms_widget"><div class="block"><div class="cms_widget_header"><h3>ShoutBox</h3></div><div class="cms_widget_content"><!-- GCBOS --><div class="forumrowdata"><p class="subforumdescription" id="gcbos_notice"></p></div></div><ol id="c_gcbos" class="childforum"><li id="gcbos3" class="forumbit_post L2"><div class="forumrow table"><div  id="gcbos_console" style="height: 400px; overflow: auto;width:100%">Loading...</div><vb:if condition="$show['member']"><input type="text" id="gcbos_input" style="width: 92%; height: 19px; margin: 1px;float:left;" autocomplete="off" /><button type="button" onclick="gcbos.sendInput();" style="width: 0%; height: 0px; margin: 0px; float: right;"></button><vb:else /><center>You Need to <a href="register.php">Register</a> to be Able Shout</center></vb:if><script type="text/javascript">

I modified the above code a bit to prevent the chat from attempting to load if the user is a guest.

<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid']">
<div class="cms_widget"><div class="block"><div class="cms_widget_header"><h3>Shout Box</h3></div><div class="cms_widget_content"><!-- GCBOS --><div class="forumrowdata"><p class="subforumdescription" id="gcbos_notice"></p></div></div><ol id="c_gcbos" class="childforum"><li id="gcbos3" class="forumbit_post L2"><div class="forumrow table"><div  id="gcbos_console" style="height: 130px; overflow: auto;width:100%">Loading...</div><vb:if condition="$show['member']"><input type="text" id="gcbos_input" style="width: 90%; height: 19px; margin: 1px;float:left;" autocomplete="off" /><button type="button" onclick="gcbos.sendInput();" style="width: 9%; height: 22px; margin: 0px; float: right;">Submit!</button><vb:else /><center>You Need to <a href="register.php">Register</a> to be able Shout</center></vb:if><script type="text/javascript">
gcbos = new gcbos_engine();
YAHOO.util.Event.onDOMReady(gcbos.init, gcbos, gcbos);
</script><!-- /GCBOS --></div></div></div>
<vb:else />
<div class="cms_widget"><div class="block"><div class="cms_widget_header"><h3>Shout Box</h3></div><div class="cms_widget_content">

Another question, how many shouts before it prunes? I dont want a massive DB because of this shoutbox!

[redhawk89]

Thanks! Works great on my site

[vortodox]

One image can't be seen, so I don't know how to finish instalation :S

[boonta]

I've got it working on the main forum part of the site, any idea on how to get it on the SHOWTHREAD and on the rest of a site? like a persistant shoutbox? Looks great so far

[abroad]

is it possible to switch off the automatic writing of the activities of members?
