vB Shoutbox 1.0

Well, people wanted it, so here it is: a vB-integrated Shoutbox. It's a little different than the one they used to have on this site, however. The moderation functions are VERY basic...but they'll be improved for 2.0, most likely, if there's any interest.

A short breakdown:

• It's a chatroom-esque page that everyone can use.
• Shouts that day, shouts in last 24 hours, shouts by YOU, and total shouts, are all tracked.
• Leaderboard (top shouters) is tracked.
• Clickable smilies automatically added below the add shout box.
• "delete" link shown on all shouts if you're an admin or a moderator (usergroupids 5, 6, and 7 by default).
• bbCode parsing included.

Attached is an archive containing all the files you'll need for the basic installation, AND for the optional features. NOTE: the vBHacker compatible file included within does NOT constitute a full installation. You'll still need to upload the shoutbox.php file to your main forums directory.

Enjoy. Here's a live demo: http://www.movieforums.net/shoutbox.php

Will it be hard to include a ´Who´s chatting´ function?

My users would love to have one...they love the shoutbox...

[Mr H]

Is there any way to give my moderators the ability to delete "shouts"?

[Alchemyst]

Is there a way to allow mods to do the "Mass Prune" option from the Moderator's Control Panel?

Here's what i made from it:

I am very happy with it, but the only problem i have is how to break up long links, because it will mess up my forumhome page. Any thoughts on that problem?

PS: the option (Number of characters before wrapping) in the Control Panel doesn't work with links...
