vB Shoutbox 1.0 · **Released**: 05-15-2002

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

i know the modification for limiting chars in a shout is released but is there a way to limit just what is shown on the forumhome? like whatever text gets cutoff gets replaced with ...
Ex:
Me and my friend were going to the...

Hello,

I cannot post in my shoubox! When I go to shoutbox.php, the box to type in the shout doesnt appear.

Great hack! Thanks! I hope that it doesn't consume too much bandwidth, though...

I did not see this posted anywhere so here it is.

I have this hack installed on my website at http://www.dungeonkeepersdomain.com and it is awesome.

Can somebody please an addition so I can display who has the most shouts.

Something like the following:

Top Shouter: {username} with XX shout(s).

Hopefully the "username" will be a link to the user's profile.

TIA

On the forumhome, how do i make the shoutbox table not as wide. My forum is at 90% width, but then the shoutbox makes it 100% and i cant change it. How do i do that?

Can someone help me? I installed the Shout Box on my site and when a user posts a shout, it posted 125 entries to a single user. Is there a way to get it to post one entry when someone makes a post?

See what I mean?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
