I uploaded the contents of the Upload folder.
I installed the hack. I edited the 5 php files that it told me to edit. I finalised the installation.

I now have in my Vbulletion Options "Shoutbox Settings"

I have no shoutbox onscreen. I have a page www.***.com/forum/shoutbox.php which works

Got it working on the forum page.Added the adv_portal_shout template.

Is it possible for me to get this working on my VBAdvance CMPS page? I get the box ,but it says URL is unavailable. It points to www.***.com/shoutbox.php iinstead of www.****.com/FORUM/shoutbox.php

does this still work in 3.0.6? I am still on 3.0.3 and this shoutbox works PERFECTLY for me - I don't want to ruin it. "if it ain't broke... " - as they say :)

-snake

Just installed the hack, and as others asked before, I can't see it on my forum home page. Why?

Looks like there were a lot of modifications to the hack on these 30 pages, isn't there an updated compiled version of the hack? as I just posted, I installed it and it doesn't show, and having to read all these 30 pages to figure why...........

Bump

You must edit your includes/functions_online.php
It's in de readme ;)

So can anybody tell exactly how to make it appear in Forumhome?

Thanks I had to run the install to get to the read me but it worked great thank you
must have got messedup from that damm upgrade lol

Did you change the FORUMHOME template during the installation?

I just ran the installer, I did nothing manually..

Well, re-run it and at the end you have to edit the files as required before clicking finish ;)

Here the File Modification of the shoutbox ;)

I know I saw somewhere on this long thread a small hack to put the shoutbox on the left side like on vb2, I just searched it but didn't found. Do you know where it is?

Done! Thanks!

Will this work with 3.06?

Thank You

Tested on 3.0.6 .

Works great and thank you. Clicks Installed

I get the following error when installing Shoutbox Hack 1.04b

using mysql 4.1.8

Does the CREATE TABLE statement have to be changed to work with 4.1.8 ?

Thanks in advance for any help.
karlsson.

Installed on 3.06 and everything seems to be working fine
EXCEPT... When using IE if i go to the shoutbox.php to view the shouts or post one and i want to click a smile to add it. Well when clicking the smile i want it will click to the top of the page like it did a refresh. Will get the "Error on page" broken java image on bottom of brower.

Now no matter what smile i hover over the link points to forum/shoutbox.php?#

The smile box works fine anywhere else on the board.

any ideas or help would be appericated.

Thanks in advance

I've spent hours trying to get the advanced editor and wysiwyg editors to work in IE and FF, no luck. I got everything working but FF so far. Like you, my editors else where on the site work fine.

I even have this working in the new, yet to be released, version of vbgarage in all modes in both IE and FF, but no joy here. Go figure.

If I get it working, I'll try to share my findings, but at this point, I've long lost track of my changes.

anyone who can help me please

Does anyone know how to increase the refresh rate on the shoutbox? I am using version 1.04. Fresh install.

Shoutbox settings->Refresh iFrame Every x Seconds?

Ok, where is that? In my admin CP all I have is Shout Manager, which allows me to edit or delete shouts?

Am I missing something?

Must be, there is a whole setting group in the ACP for the shoutbox with alot of options. It's usually the last option in vBulletin options.

Right, well I installed it on version 3.0.3 and saw that option, but not in version 3.0.6.

I'll have to go look at the install to see what I did...

Thats werid. I have the shoutbox settings but now this shout manger??

Where is this "Shout Manger" located at?

It is in your admin control panel at the bottom of vbulletine options.

In the admin control panel, on the left hand side, as a seperate menu option.

Like this...

I fixed it for us. I found a few things that got me closer and closer as we went along. The final fix was to do an edit in the SHOUTBOX template.

There are two forms in that template, both have the name=vbform. By changing the name of the one, everything seemed to work in FF. Other things I can't recall got it working in IE, but I think this one is a biggie and should do it.


In the SHOUTBOX template find...
Change to...
This is not my hack, I'm just sharing some ideas. Your milage may vary.

EDIT: I tested the original shoutbox.php and it broke the editor. Apparently I changed or added something important to my version since it works. Like I said, your milage may vary.

I was installing the shoubox just as the instructions said load the upload folder to your forums directory i did that then i went ot the link it told me to go to so i did i got this

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/iden-pro/public_html/forums/hack/install/his_files/hack_install_b3.php on line 30

Warning: main(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/iden-pro/public_html/forums/hack/install/his_files/hack_install_b3.php on line 31

Maybe because you should have the install files in forums/install not forums/hack/install?

Just a guess.

I don't need guesses lol I need answers

I guess since I added a disclaimer in case that is not correct, you shouldn't try it at all.

Sorry I couldn't help.

Good Luck.

This did the trick..... Thanks for the help man. very much appericated.

By the way this one fix, fixed it for me and works in IE

It seems that im missing this option.....

any ideas on how to go about getting it there??? Which file to edit and what to add?

any help is apperciated.

Thanks

Are you using the enhanced editor or the full blown WYSIWYG editor?

Just curious.
