Batjo Extensions

Shoutbox Pro 1.2 beta 2 has been released. It contains two fixes for the community builder integration. If you don't use community builder there's no need to upgrade.

At the same time I'm working on the next version of the shoutbox, both free and pro. I can't tell you all the new things yet but there are at least 2 long requested features in it I hope to release it in about 2 weeks.

The first beta of the 1.2 release of shoutbox Pro is available. This new version comes with some great new features. The long awaited avatar support (at the moment for (JomSocial, JUser and CB), BBCode and several bug fixes.

If you have version 1.1.2 running it's important that you first install the patch that you can find in the download section. Then upgrade to 1.2 beta1 using the method descriped at the download page.

A new update gives BBCode support to the shoutbox. From now on it's possible to add shouts like this [b ]hello[/b ] what will results in hello. For this new feature I used a plugin from Yuri Volkov, called yvBBCode. This plugin makes it possible to make your own BBCodes. You can add as many entries as you so if you want for example users to make text bold and quote that's possible! The 1.2.0 version is available in the download section.

The Pro version will be updated shortly. This version will also included the avatar function described in the previous post.

Good news for everyone who is using JomSocial, CB, phpBB3 or JUser. In the next version users' avatar can be displayed beside their name in the shoutbox. I already have a test running on the frontpage of this site. Go to your user panel, upload an avatar and post a shout on the frontpage
