vBShout on all pages!

vBShout on all pages!

Works for vBShout version 2.0

This hack will make vBShout show on all pages of your side. BUT, will only alow the shoutbox to be placed under the navbar.

1) Install vBShout (Download here)

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

a) Change the Hook Location to "global_start"

b) Find and delete:

PHP Code:

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:

PHP Code:

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


and replace with:

PHP Code:

$Position = '<!-- / nav buttons bar -->';
$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar'] = str_replace($Position, $Position . '<br /> $Shoutbox', $vbulletin->templatecache['navbar']); 


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

Find:

PHP Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == "index") 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

if (VB_AREA == "Forum") 


There is the same info in the zip.


Done. Make sure you clicked "install"

I will see. It seems that vbadvanced doesn't work with global.php like other places do.

can we put this on every bottom of the page instead of at the top?

Nope. Not much time yet.

I just got the same error that Gizmo had. In the vBshout options I had set it so banned members couldn't see the shoutbox at all. Once I changed that option the errors went away and everything worked fine.

[Gizmo5h1t3]

so if u had the same error as me, how did u get back in to reset the options for banned members??
ihad to re install a backup, as the forum implded...lol

My Admin CP was still open in another window. I changed the setting, hit save, and refreshed my other browser. :squareeyed:
