How to display the shoutbox in the FORUMHOME section?

[RedSpades]

Hi guys.

I have a Forums Blocks (see: Forum Blocks Manager) on the right side of my boards and I wanted to keep the shoutbox in a neat location, which would be right above the first forum category and tucked on the left side of the forum blocks.

I do NOT want it to show under the navbar, which looks bad and takes too much space...

Help greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,

RedSpades

Try manually positioning it with the deployment and template settings in the instance manager.

The Instance Manager is a bit confusing (especially the deployment and template settings)... Would you know exactly what I need to do to have the shoutbox positioned above the first forum category (not under the navbar)?

Open template FORUMHOME
Find

<ol id="forums" class="floatcontainer">

Add above:

{vb:raw vbshout}

Go to AdminCP -> DBTech - vBShout -> Instance Management -> Edit.
Set Auto-Display to Disabled.
In Deployment, make sure index is there.
In Manually Display Shoutbox, put FORUMHOME.

Then save.
