vBShout on all pages!

vBShout on all pages!

Works for vBShout version 2.0

This hack will make vBShout show on all pages of your side. BUT, will only alow the shoutbox to be placed under the navbar.

1) Install vBShout (Download here)

2) Edit plugin "vBShout [Template Alteration]" and make the following changes:

a) Change the Hook Location to "global_start"

b) Find and delete:

PHP Code:

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()));
} 


c) Find:

PHP Code:

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


and replace with:

PHP Code:

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


3) Edit plugin "vBShout [Template Cache]" and make the following change:

Find:

PHP Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == "index") 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

if (VB_AREA == "Forum") 


There is the same info in the zip.


Done. Make sure you clicked "install"

Installed yesterday - Uninstalled today. Slowed the forums down WAY too much.

Dont use the 2nd option on banning. I cant give any other suggestion right now.

If you're looking to find a way to fix the Who's Online problem, see my post here

Uninstalled untill fix is posted for the banning function. I too get errors if anything other than "banned user can see, but not post in shoutbox" setting and then the shoutbox dosnt even show up any where not even on forum home anymore lol. If i pick a differnt setting a blank page loads. I like it, but it needs to be tested much more befor being released. keep trying. If anyone has got this working please post what version of vb you have and what skin your using. thanks.

It works perfectly for me with vB3.5.1 and standard skin.

EXCEPT for within vbaGallery, where it says LOADING.... only...

Has anyone solved this particular problem please??

It works for me too, but I would need this only for forum id=18.
Can anybody help where to put "if" condition?

In old shoutbox I have had this:
<if condition="$forumid == '18'">

Probably something like that will help here also. But how? .-)

Thank you!!!

Ok I have put the same if in the template forumhome_vbshout. It is working now, except that it is in navbar above my custom made banner place, that is supposed to be directly under navbar and than I want to have shoutbox.

Any suggestions why is that?
Thank you!
