i dont like this update.. id rather using dvz shoutbox 1.0 than this.. there is no shout button on this version.. the only like is the moderation option on archieve.. please bring back the old UI..

[Devilshakerz]

there is no shout button on this version..

It's not a bug - it's a feature

However, you can re-insert it yourself by a simple modification in dvz_shoutbox_panel template - in fact the submit button is already there, but it's hidden.

Removal of the submit button is actually the main change in Shoutbox's design, and that was done so as a result of imperfections in display (the text input and the button were not taking 100% of space, resulting in some space left on the right; now the text input width is full 100%) and because it wasn't really needed: the default information already suggests that you ENTER your message - the shouts are being posted after pressing the Enter key and it works on mobile browsers too.

Version 2.0 also solved some minor bugs that might have appeared in 1.0 (for example, duplicated messages in some rare cases).

Would be nice if it were an "@" button instead of an "»". Love this shoutbox though!

This change will be introduced in the next version also containing compatibility patches for MyBB 1.8 and minor improvements.

I see, I see. Does this version have any Commands? Would certainly make the shoutbox better and easier to use imo.

Also, any idea why when I put "{$dvz_shoutbox}" on the portal it doesn't show up? I really need it to display on my portal but it just doesn't appear at all, no where to be found.

It does not. Implementing parsed commands would complicate things a bit and the Shoutbox is meant to be reasonably simple

You need to add a hook at the beginning of the plugin's file:

$plugins->add_hook('portal_end', 'dvz_shoutbox');
