vB Version: 3.8.2 Rating: (31 votes - 4.19 average) Installs: 118
Released: 09 May 2009 Last Update: 09 May 2009 Downloads: 1424
Not Supported DB Changes Uses Plugins Template Edits Additional Files  

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

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 -->

</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

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

LDS, I haven't been around lately. I replied to your PM. Please keep in mind that I work on this project in my spare time and I have been very busy lately. I try and provide the best support I can, but free support for a free script is hard to make time for when I work 12 hours a day.

A donation is on it's way when it gets fixed and works! I don't expect it for free, but I do expect it to work.

this looks like an awesome shoutbox.

I am 1 day old on vbulletin administartor/site owner.

I am by no means computer savvy, so I must ask for help.

I do not understand what # 4 and #5 of the following mean?

Can you please help? Thank you

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.

4. There's a folder in the zip file named that, simply upload to your server via FTP or a File Manager and like it says, do not rename that folder ... BTW this is the same folder on your server where your forums are at, you'll see index.php and the folders tha house all your graphics and other files for vBulletin.

5. There's a file in the zip called Template.txt all you do is copy the code in it and paste into the template you want this to show in so for example if you want this to show on JUST your main forum page go to... Admincp --> Styles & Templates --> Style Manager and select your style, now scroll down and look for the template named FORUMHOME then do this:

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.
NOW no matter what template you out this in copy it before you start and save it somewhere on your desktop, if anything goes wrong go back to that template and paste the original back over the entire code and save and you'll be back to normal and then can come bug us some more (J/K about the bugging part)

Superman thank you, I will give it a try.

I renamed that vbulletin "upload" file to "forums"

which is in my "public_html" directory.

Do I put it in the "forums" folder or in the "public_html" directory along with the "forums" folder?


Thank you

AdminCP > Styles and Templates > Style Manager and in the dropdown menu for each style you have, there should be a selection that says "Edit Templates"

Just like the error said, you're missing the file in forum/shoutbox/shoutdiv.php

upload that file to that location and you should be good. Might be a good idea to make sure all the other files have been uploaded to the proper location as well
