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: Change the
Shoutbox Deployment setting to include the script names of all the pages you wish the Shoutbox to appear on. For instance:
To have it appear on the front page (CMS) as well as the Forum Home, you'd enter
index,vbcms for this setting.
To have it appear on
every page, you'd
remove the contents of this setting.
Step 4: Change the
Manually Display Shoutbox setting to include the template names you wish the Shoutbox to appear on. For instance:
To have it appear on the front page (CMS) as well as the Forum Home, you'd enter
FORUMHOME,vbcms_page for this setting.
To have it appear on
every page, you'd enter
navbar for this setting.
Step 5: Enter the Style Manager and add
either {vb:raw vbshout} (vB4)
or {$vbshout} (vB3) to the templates you named in
Step 4 in the desired location.
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
