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"

I love this

It has really increased user activity, and thank you very much!

Couple of questions though...

As it doesn't seem to work with vbGallery (Just shows Loading.....) how can I exclude it from showing there?

And also, I'd like only registered users to be able to see the shoutbox, is that possible please?

[unknowngiver]

hey is it possible to have it on all pages but ABOVE THE FORUMS..

Hi everybody I have this problem:

admin edits are saved and showing correctly
Do not know whether this is issue of vbshout or this hack, but:

Admin edits of shouts are saved properly and shown on shoutbox properly, but

users edits have two mistakes:
1. edit is not shown on vbshout, only in archive
2. edited text is visible only in archive, but due coding issues it is showing anything else but letters.

I persume, that this has someting with permisions features. Does anybody has any idea where the problem could be solved?

Does anybody here nows, how i can have the Shoutbox on a custom page?

I've setup a custom page, displaying my webcam (like i read on vb.org tutorial somewhere). Now i just want the shoutbox into this page. Does anybody know, which code i can include into my template?

I don't want the SB on every page. Just on one specific webcam.php that uses vb3.5 header, navbar, footer, template.

How about make sure you have this:

PHP Code:

<!-- / nav buttons bar --> 


in every navbar template. If you dont, put it where you want the shoutbox.
