its wierd this hack started off with no phrases now i have them and i never even done anything ?

and also now i have a shoutbox but i dont have a shout bit on my main forum just a list of shouts ???

fook knows what is going on ???

Mickie

mine shoutbox is working good, only the time is not right, its saying i posted smth 2 hours in front what the real time is, how can i fix this?

When I hard delete or delete by clicking on the link, it takes me to a blank page and doesn't do the deleting, I have to edit instead. Any idea what I missed?

when you do the hard delete,,,,,, arrow down on your page and you will see the words asking you if you really want to delete it...

has or does anyone have the code to put this in a side block.. iframe code I think it needs.

Zach and Link,

Hopefully I didn't miss this after reading the whole thread, but it would be very nice if there was an option in the admincp to automatically (or manually) prune shouts older than X days or so, to preserve database space.

I agree, this would make this hack very very good to have...After installing everything, I still don't see where to prune shouts....I manually do it each day, which is a waste of time when its one by one then scroll down to the bottom of a page to say "Yes" to make the change...

I also desperately need a way to mass prune shouts. It's killing my bandwidth to have over 4000 :)

I'm also having a new problem - it shows that the most shouts one of my user nas made is 18446744073709551615 shouts , which they haven't. This just started happening after my supermods cleaned out the entire shoutbox. How can I fix that?

anyone having problems with the editor text not showing up find

and replace with

I'm just wondering...any ETA on the next version?

I've read through the entire thread and haven't seen this problem yet. When I click to go to the shoutbox's main page only shouts from a single user are being shown. Any idea where I screwed up? I used HTL to install and have this problem with IE and Mozilla.

Okay I'm upgraded vb and redid the file edits and am still getting this error. Help. :(

tried to install this non-htl it was possibly the worst mistake i've ever made, errors left right and centre (possibly due to having twt's shoutbox) but theirs no mention of upgrading from that, i guess in this case the htl is needed, it's like the only reason i'm installing the htl.

getting a error in the dql

Keyser,

The cleaned-up files were posted back in this post.

Here are some of my errors...and I have uploaded all the SQLs, and the templates twice.

I find this to be very frustrating.

Are these the errors you get Sabre?

ok well i tried it, no longer get the error but still having this problem, im attachintg the image

the phrases dont show up, and im assuming since they dont thats why the shoutbox dont show up either

any ideas?

Keyser,

How about the phrases in the AdminCP >> vBulletin Options >> Shoutbox Settings, can you see them?

Since you can neither see the phrases in the usercp nor in the shoutbox, it seems you haven't run the queries in phrases.txt and possibly the ones in settingphrase.txt as well.

To quickly find out if the phrases are in the db run this query (can't hurt):

SELECT * FROM phrase WHERE varname LIKE '%shoutbox%';

You should get 208 phrases back.

Next steps at your own risk!

If they DO NOT show up, just run the queries in phrases.txt and settingphrase.txt again.


If they DO show up, try deleting them (at your own risk!):

DELETE FROM phrase WHERE varname LIKE '%shoutbox%';

and then re-running the queries in phrases.txt that begin with INSERT INTO phrase and all the queries in settingphrase.txt.

The phrase table is composed of only 148 shoutbox elements, this is because the installation file I recieved is composed of 148 phrase inserts (scattered across those 2 files you mentioned). If theres another sql file which contains the other 60 please let me know.

Keyser,

Sorry, you're correct, you should have only 148 phrases.
I counted 208 because I forgot to segregate the ones I translated (languageid != 0).

If you have modified admincp/usergroup.php correctly, the phrases should be called normally.

Did you do the last step in the installation instructions?
4. Edit a phrase, a usergroup, and a setting to update their caches.

The last thing I can think of is if your default language is not languageid = 0 like mine and for some reason it's not pulling up the default text...

damn that was it, man i must have reinstalled this thing 10 times

thanks, well, now the prob is, the shoutbox shows up fine but if u try to enter a shout it takes u to a blank white page

this is in the address bar http://www.emuasylum.com/forums/shoutbox.php


also isnt it possible to just use the shoutbox soley on forum home? i dont want to have to go to another page to use it, if i wanted that id install a java IRC

Keyser...we are at the same point so far. Mine says "You can not submit a blank shout"

well mine works if i go to /forums/shoutbox.php

but not on forum home, is there any plans to make this more like the shoutbox from vb2, that was a near perfect shoutbox, this is more like a vb chatroom

Keyser,

Concerning forumhome, please verify that you have created the forumhome_shoutbit template. Since the shoutbox is working from the other page, it seems like it's just not inserting the individual shouts according to that template. Just a guess, sorry if it's too obvious.

Once you get it working on forumhome, if you remove the links to shoutbox.php in the shoutbox title and icon, your members wouldn't use the shoutbox.php page unless they knew about it. You can still keep it for your use as it displays some useful information.

Did you allow guests to shout? I was able to shout the word 'shout' in your shoutbox. Never got a blank page...

yep i just double checked to make sure and it is there, forumhome_shoutbit

any other ideas?

their was a post with a fix for that.

with the htl, I could not get past step #2. I get the error:

Could not add a Phrase group in the System!

Why?

I have vb3.03, clean install of this shoutbox hack.

anyone know how I could intergrate this shoutbox 1.03 with vbindex and replace the default on that comes with the vbindex Hack with this One. Its getting very confusing to my users having 1 shout on the Portal and another in the forum home page...

Thanks in advance...

Peace...

did u use the cleaned up version of the queues?

if not its attached

oooh, no, I didn't. ;) I'll try that, thanks. ;)

unfortunately i even cannot do the sql queries, i get a mistake message.
And i don't want to install another hack ( htl ) for this hack.
Too bad.

Actually, since there isn't any support for this, and there are so many complaints...I don't think I'm going to bother with it. I don't see how it is any different than the BVFull shoutbox that while too, has no support, at least works and is easy to install. They look the same too. I have that other one installed here: www.onlinedebate.net/forums/

I had a lot of trouble with this also after upgrading my system from 3.0.1 to .3.0.3. Here is how I delt with it...

Go into phpmyadmin and check for any tables or table entries that have been made, modified or created from the hack (shoutbox 1.03) and drop them. (there are some in User Group & User Tables as well as Shout tables created by the hack) What I did was just keep trying the install and copied the errors and then went to the db and dropped what ever was hassling me. It worked and I actually fixed a # of my previously installed hacks that got screwed up after a vb upgrade this way, Not a very user or Admin friendly way but it got the job done and server and BB are running great.

Good Luck...
Peace...

Hmmmmmmmmmmm... Why are Hack reinstalls such a problem...

wow, i'm getting that nothign showing up on the forum home error :(

I resisted putting this in for a long time and now I wish I had. It's like a chat room for chitchat on the main page. Brilliant.

i forgot to edit the index :o

why doesnt this work with Mozilla Firefox? It works fine for me in IE but not FF and a couple of my users including myself uses FF!

I use it on my site and I use FireFox and it works fine for me.

I finally caved in, gave up on this one and went with BVShoutbox Full. I use vbadvanced CMPS, and was able to port the shoutbox over to the main page: www.onlinedebate.net

I suppose the same could be done for this shoutbox...but I didn't have any success with installation.
