Question view the chatbox in some templates

[Zoul]

Hello all

I'd like to view the shoutbox in some templates like (blog, DBGallery, dbdownload ...)

In a free chatbox it is possible to do (VSA-chatbox)

thanks to this part:

I thought just using the variable (first line explanation)

=> {vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1}

when deposited in the template (eg BLOG)
The shoutbox would be displayed

or this is not the case

Can you explain me how to display it in the templates as I wish


thank you

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

Perfect
Thank you very much Fillip H.

by cons it takes a lot of system resources ...

Is there a way to make all this more fluid?

Reducing the number of shouts fetched and reducing the refresh rate is the only thing that can be done.

thank you very much
It helps already well but it's not huge (though my server has good performance)

Maybe an idea to integrate vboptimise optimization for vbshout
