Hi there,

This will be a for sure purchase if I can do this :)

I want to add a widget to the front CMS page: To have an embedded video on the left of the box and have the vbShout on the right.

Am I able to do this?

Will I be able to change the dimensions of the box?

Thanks and looking forward to your answers.
 
To do that, there would need to be a "light" version without all the editor controls, which we don't provide at this time. However, (and this works in the Lite version also) you can use the positioning system to manually place a shoutbox instance on a CMS page if you want :)
 
Super fast support!

So I am able to place the vbshout box on a separate widget in the second column to the right of my embedded video widget on the home page (CMS)?

Could you elaborate more on how I may be able to do this? I do see your instructions on editing the template but I don't think that will put it where I want it to be.
 
To put vBShout in a custom location, do the following:


Step 1: AdminCP -> DBTech - vBShout-> Instance Management -> [Edit].

Step 2: Change the Auto-Display Shoutbox setting to Disabled.

Step 3: Write down the the Varname setting. For the default shoutbox, it's instance1. The rest of this guide will assume you replace instance1 with the actual Varname if it is different.

Step 4: Enter the Style Manager and add either {vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1} (vB4) or {$show[vbshout_instance1]} (vB3) to the templates you wish the shoutbox to appear in.


Follow these steps as described and you will have total control over the position of the Shoutbox.
Please note that some locations may not work as intended on vBulletin 3.8, and also note that it is not designed to go in the Forum Blocks side-bar (vBulletin 4).

Hope that helps :)
 
Thanks again for your excellent support.

Will I be able to add {vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1} to a static HTML widget box on the home page and have it work?

With your instructions, I still won't be able to edit the template of the body of the home page.
