Yay thanks for the update!

Littleman, my installation said "Loading" too. I didn't have the vbshout.php in the forum directory. Copy that file there and it should start working [assuming permissions are correct].

Maybe this question has been answered before, but I couldn't find it in this thread. I'm runnin' 3.5.4 and special charactors like quotation marks and greater than/less than symbols show up as HTML code in the shout box unless I turn the vBcode and smiley option off in the ACP.

Sooo, now my users can't use smileys because of this glitch. Any fix for this??

I was still having problems with quotations etc, until i removed the who's shouting addon.Problem was fixed right away..

I don't have that addon, and I'm having the same problem.

A possible quick solution to limit access to the archive and archive functions by user group :

There is a template called forumhome_vbshout that has as part of its contents a line with the following info: <a href='vbshout.php?{$session['sessionurl_q']}do=archive'>Shoutbox</a>

Perhaps one could possibly change that line so that it reads:

<if condition="can_moderate()">
<a href='vbshout.php?{$session['sessionurl_q']}do=archive'>Shoutbox</a>
<else />
Shoutbox
</if>

While that will not prevent a user from manually typing in the name of the link. It will prevent those without the knowledge of the links parameters from going further.

If one is a bit more interested in digging deeper one could, possibly, open the vbshout.php file and find:

if ($_GET['do'] == 'archive')
{

located around line 356/357

Then one could, possibly, insert below the line with the "{" and above the line "$navbits = array("vbshout.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "do=archive" => 'Archive');"

something like:

//use for an individual access
//if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != X)
//use for usergroup access
if (!(in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], array(6,7))))
{ print_no_permission();
exit();
}

Where 5=super moderators, 6=admin, 7=moderators, and (optional) X1= what ever other usergroup one wants to include (if one was not to use X1 then do remember to remove the "," as well).

Then it should be highly possible that one would, possibly, be able to highly limit the access to the Shoutbox, a most wonderful product!, archive functions.

Of course one would be on their in doing such things.:surprised:

i still need a wordwrap function because i have the shoutbox in the left frame of vbadvanced. long words crashing the tables.

[jimbocook]

I've just noticed after installing vbShout (although it may have been happening before) that, when I log in from the forum home (where the shout is) I get the Thank You and am redirected back to the forum home but it doesn't recognize that I'm logged in until I go to a second page. Any ideas?

Whenever I enter a message with a quote in it and go to edit it, the message is truncated after the quote. Are others seeing this problem and is there a solution? Thanks!

Is there a way to display the shoutbox collapsed by default?

[Queball_Beast]
