First of all ... install and activate this plugin to enable php-code in templates.

Open your themes "global.css" in advanced mode and add this code on top:

@import url("./chat/css/shoutbox.css");

Create a new file with this code:

<?php
function getShoutBoxContent() {
	// URL to the chat directory:
	if(!defined('AJAX_CHAT_URL')) {
		define('AJAX_CHAT_URL', './chat/');
	}
	
	// Path to the chat directory:
	if(!defined('AJAX_CHAT_PATH')) {
		define('AJAX_CHAT_PATH', realpath(dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']).'/chat').'/');
	}
	
	// Validate the path to the chat:
	if(@is_file(AJAX_CHAT_PATH.'lib/classes.php')) {
		
		// Include Class libraries:
		require_once(AJAX_CHAT_PATH.'lib/classes.php');
		
		// Initialize the shoutbox:
		$ajaxChat = new CustomAJAXChatShoutBox();
		
		// Parse and return the shoutbox template content:
		return $ajaxChat->getShoutBoxContent();
	}
	
	return null;
}
?>

and save it as "shoutbox.php" in your forums root directory.

Edit your MyBB-Forums "index.php", search for (~line 27)

// Load global language phrases
$lang->load("index");

AFTER add:

// START Shoutbox-Code
ob_start();
include("shoutbox.php");
$shoutbox = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
// END Shoutbox-Code

Edit your themes template "Index Page Templates --> index". Search for

{$header}

AFTER add:

<table border="0" cellspacing="{$theme['borderwidth']}" cellpadding="{$theme['tablespace']}" width="100%" class="tborder">
<thead>
<tr>
<td class="thead">
<div class="expcolimage">
<img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/collapse{$collapsedimg['shoutbox']}.gif" id="shoutbox_img" class="expander" alt="[-]" title="[-]" />
</div>
<div><strong>Shoutbox</strong></div>
</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody style="{$collapsed['shoutbox_e']}" id="shoutbox_e">
<tr>
<td class="trow1"><div style="width:100%;"><?php echo getShoutBoxContent(); ?></div></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br />

Youre done

Demo-Link (sorry, german only)

Nothing happens?

1. Check the path to your chat-directory in "global.css" and "shoutbox.php" (lines 5 and 10)!

2. Activate Output template start/end comments? in Admin-CP --> Configuration --> Settings --> Server and Optimization Options

I followed these instructions and the shoutbox works fine but is there a way to make the smilies and bbcode boxes to display on the shoutbox also?

I'm getting XML parsing errors in Opera 10.50 and Chrome 3.0. The wiki (wrongly) says that I modified the files, but I did not. What can I do? I cannot access the chat using Opera, my main browser. It renders it, but with functionality errors.

DirectoryIndex portal.php

If you have your portal.php as your main page like I have, needs to be changed to:

DirectoryIndex portal.php index.php index.html index.htm

That should fix the connection errors.

Can someone tell me which file I edit as he instructed above? I am getting the same problem as well

File .htaccess
