Chat Modifications - vBulletin 3.x Shoutbox 1.0 (AJAX)

vBulletin 3.x Shoutbox 1.0 is a simple PHP and AJAX shoutbox script that is fully integrated with the vBulletin forum system. Once you have installed it you can place it in any of your vBulletin forum templates.

Features:

* Tested to work with vBulletin 3.x.
* It uses AJAX. This means that every time a new shout is posted by someone it will instantly display in the shoutbox without the page having to be refreshed.
* It is fully customizable. You can allow guests to post, select the number of shouts to display, and even change the name of the shoutbox.
* Only takes about 2 minutes to install. With very simple instructions in a small text file, you will have a unique shoutbox on your forum up and running in no time.
* It automatically inherits the style of the forum. If your forum has multiple style options, it uses the style the user has selected.

how do you post links?

[rapidphim]

do you plan to release fluid and fixed version for your style or just the fixed one? Do you have any demo/screenshot for white skin that can be used for working folks?

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="1%" valign="top" style="padding-right: 15px;">

  <table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="175" class="tborder">
  <tr>
  <td width="100%" align="center" class="thead">

    <?php echo $shoutboxname; ?>

  </td>

  <tr>
  <td width="100%" align="center" class="alt2" style="padding: 10px 5px 10px 5px;">
  
    <font class="smallfont">

    <?php
    
    if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == 0 && $guestshouts == false)
    {
      echo "You must be logged in to send shouts.";
    }
    else
    {
    ?>
      <form name="shoutform" method="POST" onsubmit="saveData(); return false;" style="margin: 0px;">
      <input type="text" name="message" maxlength="500" onFocus="if(this.value=='type message here') this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='type message here';" value="type message here" style="width: 155px; margin-bottom: 10px;" class="bginput" /><br />
      <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Shout" class="button" />
      </form>
    <?php
    }
    ?>
    
    </font>

  </td>
  </tr>
  </table>

</td>
<td width="99%" valign="top">

  <div id="shoutarea"></div>

</td>
</tr>
</table>

with this:

<table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%" class="tborder" style="margin-bottom: 5px;">
<tr>
<td width="100%" align="center" class="thead">

  <?php echo $shoutboxname; ?>

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%" align="center" class="alt2">

  <font class="smallfont">

  <?php
  
  if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == 0 && $guestshouts == false)
  {
    echo "You must be logged in to send shouts.";
  }
  else
  {
  ?>
    <form name="shoutform" method="POST" onsubmit="saveData(); return false;" style="margin: 0px;">
    
    <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">
    <tr>
    <td width="99%" style="padding-right: 5px;">
    
      <input type="text" name="message" maxlength="500" onFocus="if(this.value=='type message here') this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='type message here';" value="type message here" class="bginput" style="width: 100%;" /> 
    
    </td>
    <td width="1%">
    
      <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Shout" class="button" />
      
    </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    
    </form>
  <?php
  }
  ?>
  
  </font>

</td>
</tr>
</table>

<div id="shoutarea"></div>

let me know how that works out for you.


I'm having trouble with your shoutbo

No colors, form above text and still scrolls. Font has no proper style type inherited from forum, pretty much like the lack of colors.

I'm using a custom template found at /images/stylename so its not in the /root folder of the forum as some styles are installed.

[dantruongx]

Thank's i can see good.

[lostguy]

maybe next version allow add Smilies and choose color text and size .

[boandmichele]

if you type an ampersand, it cuts off any text after that symbol. so if you type "hello & goodbye",

the only thing that will display is "hello"

[Chadi]

Anyone else having this problem or is it just me?
