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

I was thinking of something else.

Anyway, you're not missing anything; integration with the Who's Online page was not released with the ZIP file.

Use substr() http://de.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php on the variable that holds the text.
Example: $bla=substr($bla,0,20);

[THE REAL BLAZE]

I did everything on the list, for some reason, the shoutbox does not show on forumhome like it's supposed to, the shoutbox works http://rapblock.com/forums/shoutbox.php but it doesnt show on the forumhome, it is FULLY installed. No errors, what do you think might be wrong?
