| Code Hack |
If you enjoy my mod and want to be kept up to date >>> "Click install" Description When I had left the vBulletin world, I was in the past the co-author of a little chatbox (shoutbox), very well known in the vBulletin world. This chatbox had been developed by Svaliotti (known as Poseidon on vb.org) for vB2 in the past and I had made the porterage (with is authorisation as we were both members of the same french non-official support forum) and the improvement for vB3. It is thus normal that in my return in the vBulletin world, I begin by getting down to this hack. Even if several versions of chatbox are already present in the vBulletin world, I said to myself that it would be a good thing to make a made in France. Naturally, I don't deal with a "copy" version of the other chatbox, I have any coded at the beginning (it was preferable because the front code wasn't so clean any more), and I integrated a good quantity of very interesting features. New version features The new version contains all the features from the previous version. Description of these versions can be found in the below post. Modifications from previous version are the following :- 1.4 :
- Fixed bugs :
- Scrolling not working properly when oldest shouts first is selected.
- Problem of page bumped to the top when clicking on smilies.
- Inactive mode problem when chatbox is collapsed.
- Js error when clicking on wol channel button (experienced only by Adam21).
- When team command is not active, clicking on the wol button and then back to the normal button make a second normal button appears.
- When a user disables the chatbox from its ucp, he can't activate it again.
- Problem when having a smilieys smileys like : : D and \ : D /..
- When delete cross is active in the chatbox there is an alignment problem.
- In archives, when viewing team shouts only and deleting a shout, the page is back to the view all shouts page.
- New features :
- Random smilies - Thanks to stangger5 from vb.org.
- Channel name shown on channel buttons' mouseover.
- Option to align or not the username in the chatbox.
- Full page mode link directly in the chatbox.
- Don't count at all team shouts in top X shouters (actually they were counted but only when user viewing the stats has access to the team command).
- Full page mode as popup or in the same browser window
- Option to choose the number of shouts in the full page mode independently from the one in the normal mode.
- Nex commmand : /pm or /mp which allow users to send private shouts (enabled through acp option + usergroup permissions).
- For the user which have access to this command, a little pen is shown near others username in the chatbox to easier private shouts sending - Thansk to Teepiak from vbulletin-ressources.com for his inspiration on that part
- Removed features :
This hack is very light in term of queries : only one for every recharging / refreshment of the chatbox and 5 for the statistics in the load of the page if you actiate them. If you don't activate advanced options of course as stated aside each in the acp Installation For those who had installed earlier v1.4 version:- Upload files again

Read the file "Installation" in the pack. Once the installation is ended, go in usergroups and edit permissions to see the Chatbox. By default, no group has access to the chatbox.
