Issue Summary
Hey there. I’m still new to Drupal and have to ask a lot of silly questions. Where can i find the form block for “shouts”? I installed the Heartbeat module, but i’m only able to find the blocks for the 3 standard streams.
Can i use a php snipped to add it into a custom block or panel as well? If yes, where can i find such a snipped?
You would help me heaps if you can give me some direction here!
Regards
honorfield

The shouts_block hook is gone with commit #273178. @Stalski: why? Is it now done with display suite?

Sorry, i don't quite understand. Does this mean there is no shout function anymore?
Thanks for your help.

The shout module should be there as it was before now (beta2). I did not fully retest it if everything is possible like it was before.
The reason for this is that the shout module took care of the heartbeat comments functionality as well but that is not the case anymore. In stead another submodule "heartbeat_comments" lets you place comment fields (and node comments fields) under the activity messages.
And indeed , in time it will disappear as a facebook_status form will take over this functionality. People will choose then what they want. Shout is not more than a simple ajax driven form to shout a message. Heartbeat hooks into to place it into the heartbeat stream.
Beta2 holds an example module. It wont work if you enable it, but you will see what can be achieved by implementing hooks.
@skirl: no, Display suite submodule provides integration for Display suite of course, but it allows you to use a simplified template that just prints the $content variable. Display suite then covers the themed parts, like message, the time ago bit, buttons, attachments and in the example site (will be updated soon) i use a custom avatar display field. The build modes can be set by stream and even message template type based. More on this in the upcoming documentation.
Let me know if it worked . I released just now.
