Additional Files  
No support by the author.

DEMO URL:

http://www.diondev.com/vb

-------------------------

NEW FEATURES:

- simplicity was kept in mind
- new archive layout that uses a table with name, message, time, and ip & delete for admins/supermods
- shoutbox files are all in one folder
- new option to change the width and height of the shoutbox iframe
- new option to allow supermods to delete shouts
- new collapsable shoutbox template that flows better with forums
- ip addresses are now stored along with shouts
- B, I, U, and color buttons for shouts that are remembered for each shout until the member navigates away from the page
- javascript bug fixes that caused messages with "&" and other symbols to cut off
- name colors based on group open and close tags
- new option to automatically parse urls
- removed guest shouting all together (after being disgusted with some of the things written in the shoutbox on my site, i will never re-add this feature so don't bother asking)
- new hide shoutbox from guests option
- uses a little cache system so it only redraws shouts if a new shout has been made (saves bandwidth)
- and some more features I may have forgot to mention

You can see the old feature lists in the old shoutbox vb.org threads:
Dion Dev Shoutbox v2.0
vBulletin 3.x Shoutbox 1.0

-------------------------

UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS:

1. uninstall the old shoutbox product from your admin cp
2. delete all the shout*.php files from your web server
3. remove the old shoutbox code from whatever template you added it to
4. follow the "fresh installation instructions" below

-------------------------

FRESH INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

1. extract the zip file onto your computer
2. log in to your admin cp
3. go to plugins & products -> manage products -> add/import product -> browse for "product-ddsb2.1.xml" -> click "import"
4. upload the entire "shoutbox" folder (DO NOT RENAME IT) to your main vbulletin directory
5. copy and paste the entire contents of "template.txt" into the template you want the shoutbox to show up in

if you want the shoutbox to show at the top of your forum index, go to the FORUMHOME template and find:

"<!-- / guest welcome message -->
<br />
</if>"

and copy and paste the contents of "template.txt" after that.

6. go to vbulletin options -> select "dion dev shoutbox v2.1 options" at the very bottom of the list
7. edit all the options as you please and then click on the "save" button

-------------------------

ADDITIONAL OPTIONS:

1. if you want to change the amount of time it checks between shouts, open up "shoutshow.js" in notepad and change "2000" to whatever number, in milliseconds, you want it to wait between checking for new shouts

I'm guessing you have more than 1 window open on the site?

Also - I don't know about arabic characters. I don't speak it and have never worked with it before in any of my scripts...so I would have to look into it.

nope just one. And it's doing it again right now.

Hate to say it (because I like the features on this one better), but I may revert back to the old one, it never did this.

I was having such result when trying to setup the refresh to 500ms instead of the classic 2000ms... With 2000ms I haven't got such freeze (when having only one window opened).
Don't know if that could help...

Is there a version that will show the forum smiley's so that a user can select a smiley to put in the shoutbox?

It works if you put the code in manually, but then you need to remember each one.

Great App!

Installed! Works perfectly here, exactly what we were looking for!

But some members (incl. 2 other Moderators) don't see the date & time, but see the date like the format string; d-m-y H:i
Any idea what's going wrong?

To change the font size you'll have to edit the "shoutshow.php" file, look for <font>'s that use the "smallfont" class and remove them.

Now currently only admins and SMOD's can delete shouts. You can disable SMOD's ability in the admin CP.
Yes, that does work, but instead of having to type out the smiley, is there a way to add a little button that you can click the smiley you want?

An old version of a regular shoutbox had that and my users miss it.

I'm running a large board on 2 good servers (one for web and one for database) and even with only about 15-20 simultaneous chatters I see my load going from 0.5 to around 2... I have setup a 2 second delay (default) for messages and 20 max message for the box, any tip to optimize and use less load please?

Where is the config file to fix this?

Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in [path]/shoutbox/shoutshow.php on line 19
