BVShoutbox 1.0

Features:

• Displays vBCodes and other post code allowances. (Depending on what the use is allowed in their signatures [for now])
• Admins can edit or delete shouts from the Admin CP.
• Built-in /me code.
• Archive page and IFrame on forumhome for shouting and reading.
• Archive page has multiple pages.
• Stats on archive page.

I plan to have added the following by the time vB 3.0.0 is released:

• Uses phrases for the Admin CP and shoutbox.
• Users can edit and delete their own shouts.
• User and usergroup permissions for the shoutbox. (canview, canshout etc)
• Seperate options for vBCodes in the shoutbox, instead of the same ones as for signatures.
• More options in the Admin CP. (mass delete, mass edit etc)

This has been tested on vB3 Gamma and RC 1

A demo can be seen here:

jaliam, First I want to thank you for helping me out with this . It is appreciated .

Yes i did have access to the shoutbox.php and I tested it with a shout and it worked . Although I'm a little confused about how to get it to show on the index.php page of the forums ?

Does it need to be put in the header of the site somehow?

Now when I go to the admincp I see the shout I made and I am able to edit or delete the shout .

PHP Code:

Open the template FORUMHOME
Find this:
// ####################################
$navbar
// ####################################
Replace it with this:
// ####################################
$navbar
<!-- shoutbox -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="$stylevar[tablewidth]" align="center">
<thead>
    <tr>
        <td class="tcat" colspan="2">
            <a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_shoutbox')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_shoutbox" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_shoutbox].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
            <a href="shoutbox.php?$session[sessionurl]">Shoutbox</a></td>
    </tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_shoutbox" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_shoutbox]">
    <tr>
        <td class="alt1" width="100%">
            <iframe src="shoutbox.php?$session[sessionurl]do=iframe" width="100%" height="120" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" name="shoutbox" id="shoutbox"></iframe>
        </td>
    </tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<!-- end shoutbox -->
<br />
// ####################################

Monstergamer thanks for the response . I went in and reverted back and then did this again and I still do not see the window for the shoutbox on my main vb page or an option to get to shoutbox.php .. I must have something mixed up ?? Anyone ??

There is no way for members to get to it .. There is nothing showing on the main page of Vb .. when your looking at the forums theres nothing there . and theres no button for it .. I was wondering how I would set it up so it would show it .
