BVShoutbox FULLL

Features:

• Displays vBCodes and other post code allowances.
• Admins can edit & delete shouts from the Admin CP.
• Built-in /me code.
• Archive page and IFrame on forumhome for shouting and reading.
• Archive page has multiple pages.
• Stats on archive page.
• Uses phrases for the Admin CP and shoutbox.
• Users can edit and delete their own shouts.
• Usergroup & Administrator permissions.
• Find shouts by specific users (in the admin cp)
• Seperate options for vBCodes allowances and what to display

If there's any features anyone wants added, I'll try and add them. I think I added everything people asked for in the previous version, apart from the upgrader, which will be added to the ZIP file when i've setup another test forum and added the previous version to it

There shouldn't be any problems, because I've tested the installer three times.
And I haven't had any problems with the actual shoutbox, or shout manager.

I'll attach some screenshots of all the custom scripts, if anyone asks for screenshots of the add ons for the permissions and stuff ill take them, dunno why anyone would want them tho...

This has only been tested on vB 3.0.0 GOLD

I got an error thru installation when it tried to put in something into the database, can't remember what it was now as I refreshed, it started again and wouldn't go further as tables had already bn put in so its stuck half installed.

is there a .txt readme to follow thru I can check how far I got and continue manually?

I would bet its that his shoutboxpermissions column is already there.

This happens when as in my case, after upgrading the VB software, you have to re add any edits to php files.
Since the BV shoutbox runs off an installer, it tries to reinstall everything instead of just allowing you to see the file edits you have to redo.

If you have it previously installed, it hangs at the mysql query to add the shoutbox permissions column, since its already there.

Then after dropping that column and restarting the installer it hangs at importing the templates, again, since they are already there.

It would be incredibly helpful if the file edits could be posted in a .txt file, as after an upgrade, thats all you need to redo.

Thought I'd point an error in the post

after the following:

includes/init.php
Find

'canadminupgrade'       => 32768,

Replace with 
'canadminupgrade'       => 32768,
'canadminshouts'        => 65536,
Find
// field names for usergroup display options
$_BITFIELD['usergroup']['genericoptions'] = array(
	'showgroup'             => 1,
	'showbirthday'          => 2,
	'showmemberlist'        => 4,
	'showeditedby'          => 8,
	'allowmembergroups'     => 16,
	'isbannedgroup'         => 32
);

Should be:

includes/init.php
Find

'canadminupgrade'       => 32768,

Replace with

'canadminupgrade'       => 32768,
'canadminshouts'        => 65536,

Find

// field names for usergroup display options
$_BITFIELD['usergroup']['genericoptions'] = array(
	'showgroup'             => 1,
	'showbirthday'          => 2,
	'showmemberlist'        => 4,
	'showeditedby'          => 8,
	'allowmembergroups'     => 16,
	'isbannedgroup'         => 32
);

I'm sure most people will catch it as they read it, but better to have a post about it (I'm sure there is some mention of it before also, but I just skimmed to the end to see what errors I might encounter with a recent install)

Works fine for me now: http://www.axioentertainment.com/forum/

I do have one annoyance though, when you click Who's Online it displays the following now:

Unknown Location
/forum/shoutbox.php?do=main

Is there any way I can fix this?
