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

is there anyway to ban certain vB code from the shoutbox like the [img] tags and the [swf] tags

One question that is probably on a loto fpeoples mind, does it work with 2.3.0.

[cirisme]

I don't see why not, but I'm not sure.

not sure what the deal is with this hack but, the first test post loaded 3 pages of the same shout...and took down the server. After it came back up, I doubled checked everything, and it was all according to the install text. Upon a second test post, it again posted the same thing about 25 times, and again took down the server.

I would like to force a break in my shoutbox. IE, if you type to many charecters without a space or a newline, it will automagically insert a break so that my front page isn't thrown out of whack. Is there a way I can do that?

[PiotrasG]

it works in 2.30 perfectly no errors, does anyone know if its possible to show more than one shoutout on forum home
