I have this code to easily add shoutbox announcer support

it wouldnt be much harder to add options in control panel for:
version of shoutbox
announcement name (system, forum, ect)
link to cb & cb Itemid

for sites with SMO shoutbox:
[code:1]if ($database->query())
{
$pid = $database->insertId();

// shout about it
$shout='[iurl='.sefRelToAbs('index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userProfile&user='.$my->id.'&Itemid=261').']'.$my->username.'[/iurl] Just Posted [iurl='.sefRelToAbs(JB_LIVEURLREL.'&func=view&catid=$catid&id=$pid').'#$pid'.']'.$subject.'[/iurl] in Forum!';
$query = "INSERT INTO #__liveshoutbox (time,name,text,url) VALUES ('".time()."','Forum','".mysql_real_escape_string($shout)."','')";
$database->setQuery($query);
$res = $database->query();

// now increase the #s in categories
[/code:1]

for sites with risp shoutbox use this:
[code:1]if ($database->query())
{
$pid = $database->insertId();

// shout about it
$shout=$my->username.' Just Posted '.$subject.' in Forum!'.sefRelToAbs(JB_LIVEURLREL.'&func=view&catid=$catid&id=$pid').'#$pid';
$query = "INSERT INTO #__liveshoutbox (time,name,text,url) VALUES ('".time()."','Forum','".mysql_real_escape_string($shout)."','')";
$database->setQuery($query);
$res = $database->query();

// now increase the #s in categories
[/code:1]

contact me for more info about shoutbox announcer, as adding integration to more components is a big goal.

Any demo of what this looks like?

the forum at my site only just recently reopened, but you can make an acct on my site and post, and see what it does

basically it would say (for this post)

[code:1]Forums: [u]steve-o-meter[/u] Just Posted [u]Re:«»Shoutbox Announcer - Easy Integration[/u] in Forums[/code:1]

the risp one would look like

[code:1]Forums: steve-o-meter Just Posted Re:«»Shoutbox Announcer - Easy Integration in Forums /code]

Im lost on where this code hack goes.

Thanks

Jason

this file is patched with a modified version that will pull the CB Itemid from the Db
yet again this is the default template post file
