BVShoutbox 1.0

[Black Vivi]

Features:

Displays vBCodes and other post code allowances. (Depending on what the use is allowed in their signatures [for now])
Admins can edit or delete shouts from the Admin CP.
Built-in /me code.
Archive page and IFrame on forumhome for shouting and reading.
Archive page has multiple pages.
Stats on archive page.


I plan to have added the following by the time vB 3.0.0 is released:

Uses phrases for the Admin CP and shoutbox.
Users can edit and delete their own shouts.
User and usergroup permissions for the shoutbox. (canview, canshout etc)
Seperate options for vBCodes in the shoutbox, instead of the same ones as for signatures.
More options in the Admin CP. (mass delete, mass edit etc)


This has been tested on vB3 Gamma and RC 1

A demo can be seen here:

I installed this months ago :P

[Link14716]

Bah, now I got even more competition, eh?

[VampireMan]

Nice and easy install :) *clicks install*

[dede1]

My English is not good sorry. I have a problem thereby!

It nothing indicated with me except a white field if one on Shoutbox
clicks comes this error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: construct_edit_toolbar() in /var/www/html/Board/shoutbox.php on line 758

Where does the Fehler?Oder lie I which surveyed?

The line does not give it in php the file.

[ENZcom]

Is there a way to ban HTML?

[Link14716]

It's either an admin option or a file edit, either way it's simple.

*plug* My hack has at as an admin option.

[Dan]

Nice one :D Not sure which to use though.

[monstergamer]

is there a way to delete shouts?

[TheAnt]

Yes, by going to admincp/shout.php

[monstergamer]

damn i did not even see it
cause i knew i added some thing in the admincp

[Gio Takahashi]

Its very nice, and it works 98%. but there is a problem, a minimal one however.

In Who is online page, When a member is on the forum index page, it shows that they are viewing the shoutbox when they are actually viewing the forum home.

[dede1]

My problem is settled, I php the files wrongly highly loaded

[NuclioN]

I hope you add the function to shout on the forumhome as in Pose21on's chatbox that would turn it into a great interactive communication device. It would be even greater when the messages appear without a refresh as in IRC chats. :)

that is the only prob i have with it now

[Black Vivi]

Sorry about the users online locations.
Replace your shoutbox.php file with the one attached to fix the problem.

I've updated the zip file so there shouldn't be any problems with the users online in the future.

[proxyMX]

stupid thing just gave me html style var errors

it took far too long to install and was a messy uninstall, dont recommend it

[Lord Les]

It went like a Charm , Love it .. Easy and I have been wanting to re add this hack for a Longtime!

Thank you , Highly recommend it

[thuffner]

Put the new shout.php in and am still having a problem with the Who's Online. Other than that this hack is amazing. Such a great alternative to Chat Rooms, which, IMO, are unreliable. My users are raving that it is great how every member can access it.

BRAVO! *installs*

[Lord Les]

Is there a way to remove the Bottom scroll ?
Thanks great stuff

did not work for me :(

Thanks great stuffi would like this as well, but for right i just turned both them off

[Black Vivi]

Is there a way to remove the Bottom scroll?where's the bottom scroll?

For the two people that are having problems, what vB version are you using?

It wasn't updating the location for me with that new file. But I have redone it and it should work this time.

Would like to remove the bottom Scroll bar and the close Shoutbox works until you go back to the page.

All is good just some odd things we would love to know how to clean up :)

[Black Vivi]

For the bottom scroll, try changing the table width in the shoutbox_main template to 98%.

I'm still working on the location thing...
I know it's the shoutbox IFrame, so I might have to take that out and change it so it's part of the forum homepage.

[Lord Les]

Tried the change to 98% still bars.. :)

[monstergamer]

Tried the change to 98% still bars.. :)same here

@ Lord Les if you go to the shoutbox_iframe
and find
src="shoutbox.php?$session[sessionurl]do=main" scrolling="auto" and turn scrolling to no insted of auto, it turns the bars off
looks better but i would like the one bar on the side as well

[thuffner]

Yeah the 98% thing fits all the text on the frame perfectly, but does not get rid of the scrollbar...

Great hack. :)

[monstergamer]

i had the answer along

in shoutbox_iframe

find
<frame name="shoutview" id="chat" src="shoutbox.php?$session[sessionurl]do=main" scrolling="auto" marginwidth="5" marginheight="5" noresize="noresize" frameborder="0">
and replace with
<frame name="shoutview" id="chat" src="shoutbox.php?$session[sessionurl]do=main" scrolling="yes" marginwidth="5" marginheight="5" noresize="noresize" frameborder="0">

worked for me
now the only thing i see needing fixed is the Unknown Location thing

[thuffner]

That works great monstergamer. Be sure to change the code twice in the template too, once for registered users and once for unregistered users. :)

[Black Vivi]

Thanks for that monstergamer.
I've updated the zip so there shouldn't be any bottom scroll with future users, and have sent an update.

I have an idea for the unknown location thing, which I will be testing in a while.

@ Black Vivi ... I am running vB RC2 and have just installed your shoutbox .. all went well and the shoutbox works perfectly .. however .. I still have the problem with all Logged in users appearing, on Who is Online, as Viewing the Shoutbox, even though they are elsewhere.

I have tried replacing the shoutbox.php, with both the updated versions .. but still the problem persists. Can you throw any light on a possible solution please ;)


Edit .. all is Ok Now M8 .. looks as though it was a server prob .. uploaded the file a few times and it seems to have cured the problem .. Keep up the good work :up: :cool:

yours still shows users Viewing Shoutbox when on the index
but guest and spiders are Viewing Index

[monstergamer]

i have to thank Rocol for this code that i am about to post here...
i did change it from what he gave me, but he get full credit for it
this code right here well now show the members VIEWING THE INDEX in the whos online
the only thing is that it shows them looking at the index when they are looking at the shoutbox.php but it dose not show Unknown Location any more...:D

to make this change
in includes/functions_online.php

FIND
case 'bugs':
$userinfo['action'] = construct_phrase($vbphrase['viewing_x'], 'Bugs'); // Don't report 'bugs' as needing to be translated please :p
break;

ADD BELOW THAT
/// Shoutbox ///
case 'shoutbox':
$userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['viewing_forum'];
if ($seeforum)
{
if ($wol_link[$forumid])
{
$userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['followed_forum_link'];
}
$userinfo['where'] = "<a href=\"forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forumid\">$forumtitle</a>";
}
break;
/// End Of Shoutbox ///

FIND
case 'bugs.php':
$userinfo['activity'] = 'bugs';
break;

ADD BELOW THAT
/// Shoutbox ///
case 'shoutbox.php':

break;
/// End Of Shoutbox ///

[Tenpit]

This is great!

Just one thing, how would you make the Shouts automatically refresh, say every 30 seconds?

Thanks
Tenpit

[Souli]

OK it is a very nice Hack - the best shoutbox here ;)

First i found a small bug in the collapse code

old code


Open the template FORUMHOME
Find this:

$navbar

<!-- shoutbox -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="$stylevar[tablewidth]" align="center">
<thead>
<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="2">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_shoutbox')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_shoutbox" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_shoutbox].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
<a href="shoutbox.php?$session[sessionurl]">Shoutbox</a></td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_shoutbox" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_activeusers]"> <tr>
<td class="alt1" width="100%">
<iframe src="shoutbox.php?$session[sessionurl]do=iframe" width="100%" height="120" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" border="0" name="shoutbox"></iframe>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<!-- end shoutbox -->

<br />



My new code (replace it)


<!-- shoutbox -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="$stylevar[tablewidth]" align="center">
<thead>
<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="2">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_shoutbox')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_shoutbox" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_shoutbox].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
<a href="shoutbox.php?$session[sessionurl]">Shoutbox</a></td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_shoutbox" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_shoutbox]">
<tr>
<td class="alt1" width="100%">
<iframe src="shoutbox.php?$session[sessionurl]do=iframe" width="100%" height="120" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" border="0" name="shoutbox"></iframe>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br />
<!-- end shoutbox -->


thx
Soul

[monstergamer]

OK it is a very nice Hack - the best shoutbox here ;)

First i found a small bug in the collapse code good work, i notice this when i frist installed it, but i just took the collapse code out
but thanx for making it work again

*updated shoutbox now*

[magnus]

This is great!

Just one thing, how would you make the Shouts automatically refresh, say every 30 seconds?

Thanks
Tenpit

In the shoutbox_main template:

Find:

<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">


Add below:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="15;URL=shoutbox.php?$session[sessionurl]do=main">


* You can change the "15" to however many seconds you wish.

[Black Vivi]

Thanx for all the help everyone. I've updated the ZIP file, and there are a few extra stuff in the install file now. (Credits, Users Online fix [modified so it shows viewing shoutbox when viewing the archive, and viewing index when on the index])

[Lord Les]

Very Cool .

[magnus]

If anyone cares, in order to make this 100% XHTML 1.0 Verified, you'll need to edit FORUMHOME:

Find:

<iframe src="shoutbox.php?$session[sessionurl]do=iframe" width="100%" height="120" scrolling="no" border="0" frameborder="0" name="shoutbox"></iframe>


Replace with:

<iframe src="shoutbox.php?$session[sessionurl]do=iframe" width="100%" height="120" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" name="shoutbox"></iframe>


* NOTE: '' border="0" '' is removed, as it's not valid for <iframe> -- hence why it fails the XHTML 1.0 Validation.

* TIP: Use http://validator.w3.org/ to verify your site for XHTML 1.0.

thnx, i forgot to check for xhtml errors

Lets just say I need glasses and we'll leave it at that. >.>

@Black Vivi:

Could you add the feature that I can define (maybe in shoutbox.php) a user/mod with userid and this user has the possibility to delete entries directly with an "delete"-link under each shout-entry?

i have to ask two thing from you Black Vivi

1. i would like the delete a shout in the shoutbox.php in the shout

2. like the other shoutbox that linksomething has made
it is like yours but he has more options
but i only want one of them
a ban user from shoutbox, that would be helpful
some thing that i can pick what usergroup can use the ban a user from shoutbox as well

1. See the answer for the question above.

2. Yes, I'll be adding this aswell.

You mean I made that converter for you and you aren't even going to use it? Peh...
I consider both your posts in this thread to be advertising your shoutbox.
Cuold you stop it please.


The next version should be out soon, hopefully by the time vB3 is released.

I am assuming that when an invisible user posts in SB their handle doesn't appear?

[thuffner]

I am assuming that when an invisible user posts in SB their handle doesn't appear?
Was just gonna ask about this. I had the same problem...

[Lord Les]

I saw this too , was trying to find how to stop them from posting ?

[ethics]

I saw this too , was trying to find how to stop them from posting ?
To me, that's a huge bummer because the userid is not even recorded in the database. There is absolutely no trace of who posted the text.

I would love for this hack to have either:

1. Cut off the ability for the invis users to use the SB
or
2. At least log the true userid in the database.

I am leaning towards #1 as being a better and cleaner solution though.

[magnus]

Hrm, I (as well as the rest of my mod-team) are always invisible, yet the users can see our username's just fine in the SB.

[ethics]

Features:

Displays vBCodes and other post code allowances. (Depending on what the use is allowed in their signatures [for now])
Admins can edit or delete shouts from the Admin CP.
Built-in /me code.
Archive page and IFrame on forumhome for shouting and reading.
Archive page has multiple pages.
Stats on archive page.


I plan to have added the following by the time vB 3.0.0 is released:

Uses phrases for the Admin CP and shoutbox.
Users can edit and delete their own shouts.
User and usergroup permissions for the shoutbox. (canview, canshout etc)
Seperate options for vBCodes in the shoutbox, instead of the same ones as for signatures.
More options in the Admin CP. (mass delete, mass edit etc)


This has been tested on vB3 Gamma and RC 1

A demo can be seen here:
http://www.rubb3rducky.com/index.php?
http://www.rubb3rducky.com/shoutbox.php?
Any idea how to make the SB unusuable to a moderated group for example?

[Black Vivi]

thnx for the suggestions and telling me about the invis users
i'll try and fix it in a while

ethics, that'll be in the next version, which shud hopefully be out tomorrow, if im not doing nethin else

[jaliam]

Great hack, BV! I love it. Is there any way though to do mass post deletes? Thanks!

[monstergamer]

thnx for the suggestions and telling me about the invis users
i'll try and fix it in a while

ethics, that'll be in the next version, which shud hopefully be out tomorrow, if im not doing nethin elseany word on the next update

[Black Vivi]

the next version shud be done soon, iv only got the installer to make, and fix the users with no names thing

i think its not invis users posting, its guests shouting somehow, because iv had invisible users try shouting, and their names show up
if not then it might not be released today

sorry

[edit]
found out it is members :(

Im running vb3 rc2 I went through the entire install and having a problem . There is nothing showing up in my forum . Does anyone have any info on why this could happen ?

In mysqladmin, what should it look like what was added ? This was the only part that I had some trouble since I dont use it often .

I posted a screen shot for you to see , maybe I did it wrong ..

Check your AdminCP first and see if you even have the settings for your Shoutbox showing there. If it is not there, it means that you have skipped a step with your hack installation.

[KAC]

ok It is in the admincp although the setting arent there . Heres a screen shot ..

Yes i did have access to the shoutbox.php and I tested it with a shout and it worked . Although I'm a little confused about how to get it to show on the index.php page of the forums ?

Does it need to be put in the header of the site somehow?

any way to add a smilie popup link in the shoutbox_newmessage

[Black Vivi]

sorry i haven't posted anything for a while
i got a virus so i lost alot of the changes for the new version
so i've put back in everything i can remember having, i've gotta make the installer for HTL, and a txt file
i did make an installer, but id rather use htl

thx for helping KAC monstergamer
madcat, icant see the shoutbox there, and you cant disable mouse scrolling (i think)

[KAC]

Ok I have installed this hack on rc3. All is working well . Just one issue .. After editing index.php for the admincp, you loose access to the admincp . comes up with a blank page when trying to get to it. So for now I replaced the orignal index.php in the folder and all is ok . Now when you need to edit or delete posts in the shoutbox you need to go to admincp/shout.php manually and then do your editing from there . This is no biggie just glad that its working on rc3, but if anyone has found a resolution to this conflict please post your findings .. thanks

[Black Vivi]

u sure u edited it properly, because i've tested this on rc3 and everything's working fine

[Ky Kiske]

I have editted very lil with this.

i know that i have the / me code in the shoutbox

It is possible to show the shoutbox and the shoutbox.php only to admins, super moderators and moderators?

[Hialls]

Hmmm do the shoutbox permissions get added to usergroup or should i add it myself?

[Black Vivi]

Hmmm do the shoutbox permissions get added to usergroup or should i add it myself?I didn't make any for this version. In the new version (which I am hoping to release tonight), has built in usergroup permissions, and admin permissions. If you know how to add them and you don't want to wait for the new release (which I think would be better), then do whatever you want with it.

It is possible to show the shoutbox and the shoutbox.php only to admins, super moderators and moderators?That will be in the new version.

i know that i have the / me code in the shoutbox
and i dont know if you update the zip but when i use the / me code it dos not show my name or time.... just shows the / meare you putting it in as "/me" or "/ me" (without the quotes), because you should be putting it in as the first. If that's not the problem, have you modified the code at all?

[monstergamer]

are you putting it in as "/me" or "/ me" (without the quotes), because you should be putting it in as the first. If that's not the problem, have you modified the code at all?i am putting "/me"

[Revpolar]

I am anxiously awaiting how to set permissions for viewing the shoutbox. I dont want guest to see it.

[Black Vivi]

thx msimplay, i forgot about an upgrade
thats all thats left to do now

[monstergamer]

so it should be out soon :cross fingers:

[Revpolar]

I made a little modification to allow users to see it in all displays. I took the portion you are supposed to put in the Forumhome template and put it in the Navbar template instead. Heres the Navbar template so you can see what I did. I forgot to mention this is RC4. <script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function log_out()
{
ht = document.getElementsByTagName("html");
ht[0].style.filter = "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(grays cale=1)";
if (confirm('$vbphrase[sure_you_want_to_log_out]'))
{
return true;
}
else
{
ht[0].style.filter = "";
return false;
}
}
//-->
</script>

[msimplay]

dont like the idea of that ^
on everypage would increase server load and slow forums down

[Revpolar]

Someone wanted to know how. I agree on large forums but for small ones its fine.
Oh and BTW its like its in the header this way so its not like multiple shoutboxes its the same single shoutbox.

[catocom2]

Installed on RC4, and working fine.;)

[Revpolar]

Ok so now that my shoutbox is on every view i get every user is viewing index in who's online. How do I tottally disable whos online for the shoutbox?

[NuclioN]

Is it possible to add a small message field above it so you can shout on the forumhome?

[monstergamer]

dude you got that update for the shoutbox?

[jedimaster]

Thanks for this- my users are going to love it! Clicked install (using RC4 if it matters).

[gmarik]

There seems to have been a slight problem with the The Rubber Ducky Community database.

[thuffner]

Love this hack, but one question. Is there any way that the Usergroup "Users Awaiting Email Verification" can NOT post in the Shoutbox? I have a heckler that is getting on my nerves who entered a fake email on registering...

EDIT: Also, what about a minimum-posts-before-able-to-shout option? :)

he said he was going to add all the options you just posted :D
just waiting for the release of it

as i to am looking forward for the banned from shoutbox and faster way of deleting/editing a shout

[MSX]

So which shoutbox is better, this one (Black Vivi) or the EverythingvB version?

Help, just confused :).

[catocom2]

I personally think this one is just a little cleaner, and a bit faster. ;)
Although I may install Vivi's later just because the frontend seems a little more integrated,
with the users part. ??? I haven't decided yet on that though. :ermm:

[SmasherMaster]

Hey Black Vivi, Is there an HTL version yet? I have a few styles and don't want to add 10 templates for each one...-_-

[catocom2]

I personally think this one is just a little cleaner, and a bit faster. ;)

oops I got confused....
I meant I have this one installed which IS Vivi's.
I may install EVB's later, but not if there is going to be money cost involved.

[Link14716]

I believe be "EVB's" you are refering to mine, which was released here, at vB.nl, and at EvB, right?

Well, here's what I think. My shoutbox hack is completely free as is this one. It has a lot of features and permissions, a lot more than this one currently has. However, this one has cleaner HTML as well, and I believe Black Vivi is adding a lot of the features I have into his shoutbox.

When it comes down to it, it's merely personal preference.

Yes your version is the one I was referring to.
I didn't mean it to sound disrespectful there, quite the opposite.;)
By "cleaner" I actually meant less to code, "not as advanced".

[SmasherMaster]

I have a problem, I installed the hack, but something is wrong...the main forumhome template works with the shoutbox hack, but when I click on Archive, nothing happens, and when I click on the Shoutbox, it gives me this error: Parse error: parse error, expecting `']'' in /home/smasher1/public_html/forums/shoutbox.php(231) : eval()'d code on line 165

WHAT DO I DO?! IE keeps telling me is has something to do with the "shoutbox.php?do=addnew" :(

[SmasherMaster]

OK I got it working finally, but here's a slight problem, what's all this stuff in the shoutbox.php and how do I get rid of it...

http://www.megareviews.com/forums/shoutbox.php

Help...

[catocom2]

it should look similar to this...
http://catocom.com/forum/shoutbox.php
when a hack doesn't do right for me, I always go back over every
change, and file, first to make sure I didn't miss a step.

[SmasherMaster]

All the urls have those " in them...And I did folow every singel step...It may something wrong in the templates. =\ I'll have to take a look...


EDIT: Really, I am kinda stupid, all I had to do was find a replace the " in the shoutbox_archive template. This is a wonderful shoutbox hack Vivi although some better instructions would bea bit more appropate. :D

* SmasherMaster hits install

[NameWolf]

Just a little problem, when you click on refresh, it gives you an url instead of the textbox with a whitebackground for a couple of second before it refreshes. Is this normal or can we get rid of this ? You can have a look at what I mean at talkingworld.com .

Thanks in advance

[monstergamer]

its normal :D

[SmasherMaster]

Hmm, how do I limit the shouts in the iframe visible to 1?

[thuffner]

Is there any way to make the Shoutbox look like a chat room? With the input field underneath the actual shouts, and the shouts to show up with the newest at the bottom? Ya know what I mean...like a chat room. With the newest shouts at the bottom... :)

[The General]

Works fine on 3.0 gold.

[Zaeolos]

This is an awsome hack and works great on VB3 Gold!

Clicked Install...

[msimplay]

it works fine on vb3 gold however the delete script has stopped working from admin panel an update would be appreciated thank you
with an option to delete multiple shouts

[monstergamer]

the delete works for me
but it dose not say any thing, but if you hit YES it still deletes it

i to have been waiting and hope for an update for this shoutbox

[msimplay]

but it dose not say any thing, but if you hit YES it still deletes it

i to have been waiting and hope for an update for this shoutbox
sorry i was tired at the time :P yeh delete works
um i do need one thing from it though
just that banned usergroups not be allowed to post
as they show up as no name and a text on the side

[martinh4]

Brilliant work. :)

[SONOFSAM]

A stupid question, and probably right in front of my face...but where in the coding can I change the backgorund behind the shouts? Im using an image for my background on my forums, and do not wish it to be in the shoutbox as well.

forums: www.ggkthnx.com/forums

[martinh4]

Is there anyway to limit the amount of shouts displayed in the Iframe? About 10 would be ample.

[Beermonster]

/me hit's install

Thanks

[The Realist]

My shoubox is all white and blank?

Any help?

[tpircsvb]

sorry i havent been on for so long, motherboard fried
i did have a backup of the shoutbox, it wasnt the latest, but it's pretty close to what it was like before, and i think ive made it so its better than before now, so ive just got to test the installer and upgrader and ill be able to release it

[msimplay]

your having a really ruff time :P

[ga.net]

Is there anyway to limit the amount of shouts displayed in the Iframe? About 10 would be ample.

yeah is there a way?

[tpircsvb]

in shoutbox.php
replace this:
$shouts = $DB_site->query("
SELECT s.*, u.username
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "shout s
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user u ON (u.userid = s.userid)
ORDER BY dateline DESC, shoutid DESC LIMIT 25
");
with this:
$shouts = $DB_site->query("
SELECT s.*, u.username
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "shout s
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user u ON (u.userid = s.userid)
ORDER BY dateline DESC, shoutid DESC LIMIT 10
");

and change the 10 to the amount of shouts you want to show



the installer and upgrader aren't working properly at the moment, but theres only 1 problem with the scripts, so the new version should be released soon

[harbormaster]

After installation I lost the NAV bar on my main page. When I go to the forums I can see it. Any ideas on what to check? I have enclosed a screenshot.

Also how is the best way to move the shout box to the bottom of the page?

[martinh4]

harbormaster, you're not even using my shoutbox

im just about to tst the installer again, and it shud work, so the full vertsion should be released soon

[Stray]

Does the new version have the text input box on the bottom or top?

[Flow Fusion]

Why am I getting this junt when ever I post a shout?

[04-03-2004 06:50 AM] Flow Fusion:
0

[04-03-2004 06:41 AM] Flow Fusion:
0

I don't see a message just the "0" and the time?

[tpircsvb]

Does the new version have the text input box on the bottom or top?
top, but u can change it

flowfusion, does it show a 0 in the archive aswell?

[GamerJunk.net]

I'll wait for the installer and full release...

[Flow Fusion]

???

[tpircsvb]

my hosts gone down, and i haven't got any other servers i can use that have vb on, so the new version wudda been released by now, but i havent been able to make sure everything works properly

[msimplay]

my hosts gone down, and i haven't got any other servers i can use that have vb on, so the new version wudda been released by now, but i havent been able to make sure everything works properly
have a localhost to test things on its a lot better then relying on a host
theres a tutorial on this forum concerning installing apache/php/mysql on windows

or you could download apachetriad has everything in one

tpircsvb , YOU CAN USE MY SERVER AND VB IF YOU WANT.

[blubber12]

My members are telling me that Opera crashes when posting in the shoutbox. Any ideas or similar problems?

[ronb]

The board that i'm going to install this hack on is running vb2 rc4. When i tried to execute the install file it told me it was not intended for the version i'm running. I did not proceed. My question is i see others have installed this hack on vb3. Should i continue and if so what should i look for as far as problems etc.

thanks

[SONOFSAM]

Can somebody PLEASE tell me how to stop the body's back ground image from being placed inside the shoutbox?!?!? Ive looked at the templates 100 times, but couldnt see anything. In vb2 I knew the variable for the body, but with VB3 im lost!! Just got done making a style, and the backgroound just ruins it.

www.ggkthnx.com/forums

[gmarik]

how about 3.01?

[armani1072]

how about 3.01?



i second that :D

[Lurk]

there is a security issue with this shoutbox. People can post shouts logged in or not.
One of the admins on my site, Sauron, found this:
<html><title>Shoutbox Flaw</title>
<!-- This little flaw allows anyone to post information to the shoutbox -->
<!-- from anywhere on the Web, whether they are registered users or not -->
<!-- [Sauron] -->
<body>
<!-- The markup is copied directly from vBulletin -->
<p>Enter what you want to send to the shoutbox:</p>
<form action="http://www.yoursite.com/forum/shoutbox.php" method="post" name="vbform">
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="doaddnew" />
<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tr><td width="70%" align="left">
<input type="text" name="message" value="" class="bginput" style="width:80%;" />
<input type="submit" value="Shout" class="button" />
</td>
</form>
</body></html>

put that in an html page and you can shout. make sure you change the url on it.

[GamerzWorld]

How would i make the shoutbox page auto refresh?

After using this hack for a few weeks, I have detected a problem!

If you Min the shoutbox and then leave the site, when you come back to the site, and click to re-open the shoutbox, I get an "Internet Explorer" error, and it closes the window.

Give it a try on my site:
Goto: http://www.women4fitness.com/forums/
Click the Min button on the Shoutbox (upper right hand corner)
Then exit the website
Then go back to: http://www.women4fitness.com/forums/
And open the Shoutbox (upper right hand corner)

You should get an error


Hope someone can help

Thanks

I recently got around to upgrading to 3.0.3, and re-installed this.
It still Rawks! :)
Thanks Vivi

Well now upgraded to 3.0.5, and still using this one.
It seems to be the easiest for me to install, since it's the first one I did install.
I'm just trying to figure out how to add a smilie-box on it on the forumhome now. :D

Any ideas?
