Question How can I apply the shoutbox to every page of forums?

[phazerjustin]

Do I use the instance var on the right pages in the right places?
thread display and stuff right? Under nav bar?
Not sure of the complete code and don't want to muck something up.

Thanks

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. To make the shoutbox appear in all pages, put the code in the navbar template.


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

If I just leave it as it is on Homepage then go to forum display and just add
{vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1}
on its own, Will that be fine?

Which files exactly should I edit it in?

FORUMDISPLAY + FORUMHOME? That would then display everywhere?

	{vb:raw navbar}
{vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1}
	<div id="pagetitle">
		<h1>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</h1>
		<p id="welcomemessage" class="description">{vb:rawphrase welcome_to_the_x, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}</p>
	</div>

Would It be imported after like that?

If you add it to the navbar template it will display on all pages
