Question Disable vba on vbshout settings page?

[Captive Reefs]

I want my vbadvanced side column when the shoutbox is detached, so I integrated vbshout.php with vbadvanced. However, i noticed I am getting an extra side column when I go to the user options page. How can I eliminate vba integration from that page?

I could probably make a copy of vbshout.php and rename it and call the script something else...and just point settings page to that, but seems like a hack way of doing it?

I have no experience working with vBAdvanced so unfortunately I can't answer that question

Well what would be very helpful is if you had a separate script for the settings rather than have it all in with the vbshout.php file. Then I could exclude THIS_SCRIPT=='shout_settings' from vbadvanced.

Then again, not having it integrated means lower performance due to the forum needing to eval() hooks and causes load issues with vBSEO

Why don't you put an exclusion in your vBA template wrapping code,

if ($_REQUEST['action'] != 'profile')

would do the trick.

I was able to copy and rename the vbshout.php file and redefine the script, do a couple template edits to point the url to my copied file, vbshout_settings.php...it works like a charm except when I do save the settings, I am reloaded back into the old vbshout.php file. I don't see where that is in the template to change the file name... if you could point me to the place to change that, I think I am set for now.

EDIT- I can try your trick too...

Unfortunately that had no effect. I edited the integration plugin for the sidebar.

The _options template has that reference.

Here is the code that worked... if ($_REQUEST['action'] != 'options')



And for what it's worth, I tried to change the form action in the options template and it still directed me back to the normal vbshout script, so it must be something internal to the file or plugin. But regardless the above solution is perfect.
