~Hack installation

Step 1: Open plugin vBShout[Template Cache] and find:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == "index")

Replace with:

if (VB_AREA == "Forum")

Step 2: Open plugin vBShout[Template Alternation],change hook location to global_start and find and delete:

function isBanned($user)
{
return (isBanned_Check($user['userid'], 'shout_banned_users') || isBanned_Check($user['usergroupid'], 'shout_banned_usergroups'));
}

function isBanned_Check($bash, $against)
{
global $vbulletin;
return in_array($bash, iif($vbulletin->options[$against], explode(',', $vbulletin->options[$against]), array()));
}

Step 3: Open the plugin again and find:

switch ($vbulletin->options['shout_position'])
{
case 1:
$Position = '<!-- what\'s going on box -->';
break;

case 2:
$Position = '<!-- end what\'s going on box -->';
break;

case 4:
$Position = '<!-- main -->';
break;

default:
$Position = '$navbar';
break;
}

$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace($Position, $Position . ' $Shoutbox', $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']);

And replace with:

$Position = '<!-- / nav buttons bar -->';
$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar'] = str_replace($Position, $Position . '<br /> $Shoutbox', $vbulletin->templatecache['navbar']);

I looked and I DO have <!-- / nav buttons bar --> code in the navbar template.

[Ziki]

Make sure it is on the same spot as in the default style

[FreshFroot]

I'll double check it.. if so.. is ther eany code I can put so it will show up anywhere?

[Ziki]

Yeah just change $Position = '<!-- / nav buttons bar -->'; to $Position = $vbshoutplacement; and then anywhere put $vbshoutplacement

[FreshFroot]

well i used the "<!-- / nav buttons bar -->" instead in the navbar for the custom skins and it works fine... EXCEPT.. for one skin. This skin shows shoutbox on all pages except.. the main page... I'm not sure why.. I tried putting <!-- / nav buttons bar --> in ForumHome Template.. but it didn't do anything...

[Ziki]

That's irrational so I really can't help on that one.

[cOuNtErFiET]

im running vbShout 2.1 on a 3.5.8 board and the manual edit worked for me when nothing else would so just posting my feedback thanks for the lookout Ziki

[gchristo]

Thank you, Ziki!
Manually installed on vB3.54 with vBShout 2.0.

Had to make the

eval('$Shoutbox = "' . fetch_template('forumhome_vbshout') . '";');

change as well and all is good!

Regards,

gchristo.

Bummer...won't work on my board.

[Ziki]
