I know the Shoutbox is intended to be public, but is there a way to make it private? Having the box public is just going to cause a lot of problems for me, so either I hide it where only registered members can use it, or I shut it off completely. Can it just be set to display on a template which is only available if you're logged in or something similar?

I had the same question. Did you ever find an answer, Mudpuppy? You also said that you could set it so that only registered members can use it- can someone point me to directions on how to handle that please? Thanks!

would be nice if this was a CP option - so admins could make it visible to guests or members if they wished.
With the new group permissions system, this could then easily be extended to certain groups only.

I'll second the idea too! I shut it off because it was getting beat to death and I think slowing the system down. I told the user that were really beating on it to go use AIM, MSN CHAT or something similar!!

Any progress on this one? *crosses fingers* We'd love to have the shoutbox be strictly an Administrative or Moderator tool to get the word out quickly without resorting to Forum Announcement type threads.
I've looked over the PHP and I'm reaaaaallll reluctant to make any changes...
Thanking you in advance, Marc

I'm not sure what the "problem" is... it's either on or off... and if it is on, hopefully Sirdude's hack makes it less of a resource.

I guess the problem is that we'd like to restrict those who can use the Shoutbox to Moderators/Administrators. As it stands, it's usable only by logged-in members, which is a step in the right direction, but it's not exactly what we want...

Looks like you will have a good few variations in 7.3 with the shout box View and reply permission
