Everyone can download this plugin but only subscribers at http://www.mybb-plugins.com can get support. Click here to subscribe.

This plugin was coded by Pirata Nervo but is based off Asad Khan's Spicefuse Shoutbox.

I am releasing this plugin with his permission and I may NOT break any of the following conditions:

1. Have a link back to the spicefuse.com on the forum post or any other page that distributes your code, including any readme files. In other words, have a linked version of the Spicefuse Shoutbox text.
2. Retain my author credits(Asad Khan's credits) for the old code.
3. Keep it free.

Official MyShoutbox website:

New features:

• Private Message command - /pvt (/pvt USER_ID_HERE Message)
• Deleted shouts are not deleted but hidden from normal users except Super Mods (if they have permission to delete(hide)) and administrators. The hidden shouts can be removed or recovered.
• Popup Shoutbox (Normal)
• Portable version (doesn't use javascript so many features are not available)
• Allows HTML if the setting is set to Yes
• Support for videos in MyBB 1.6
• Admins can set which usergroups can view the shoutbox as well as choose if additional groups are checked.
• An admin page which allows admins to unban or ban users and view who's banned.
• Users can report shouts and admins can manage reports.
  

If any of the old features (created by Asad Khan) have any bugs, they were introduced by ME as the original code didn't have any bugs as far as I know.

You may NOT redistribute this plugin as it is based off Asad Khan's code so you must respect the following license:

Woderful plugin, Congratulations Pirata for this nice plugin

[Pirata Nervo]

Thanks
Removed download link because a user reported nothing was showing up in the templates (one of the templates is not being inserted into the database).
I've tested this yesterday again and it worked, seems I messed up something today while improving some bits of code.
I will post the new link once the bug has been fixed

Edit:
Added download link. Fixed the bug (Don't know what was causing it but instead of having the templates in .txt files like Spicefuse Shoutbox, they are inside the plugin file. This fixed the problem)

and, u said "deleted shouts are not deleted but hidden from normal users except Super Mods (if they have permission to delete(hide)) and administrators. The hidden shouts can be removed or recovered."

that mean the shoutbox database always can't delete automatically?

[Pirata Nervo]

Huh?
I don't understand

[Elegant Totality]

Yay! The Shoutbox!

This looks nice Maybe make the left & right panels be able to be collapsible? Also, maybe make it so when you click a user's name in the shoutbox - it opens the UserID panel and auto-fills the field.

[Pirata Nervo]

When you click a username in the shoutbox it auto fills the message text input box with:
/pvt USER_ID
where user id is the uid of the username clicked

By "left and right panels" you mean the bot and the user panel?
Thanks

Yes, I mean the bot and user panel

[Pirata Nervo]

Hmmm okay, how'd you colapse them? (The display, not the code )
Like in User CP? the menu on the left is devided into collapsible categories. Like that?
