all working now

thanks

dean

Did you have to maually modify anything to see it? My install went error free, but I can't any shout box?

yes you kow when you go through the steps, it says manually edit if needed, click the link below that and it shows you what to find and edit

i done that and then clicked continue and it showd up fine no probs :)

the settings are in the vb options menu in your admin cp then

ok. I'll check it out. Thanks

once you had edited it you should be ok :)

Today I got an e-mail from my sys admin informing me he was blocking shoutbox until further notice due to a potential security risk with the software.

He also pointed me to this link
http://www.nessus.org/plugins/index....ingle&id=11668

Can anyone provide me with a little information as to what exactly he's talking about and what's going on?

CuriousGeorge, this shoutbox and the shoutbox on the Nessus are two extremely different things!

OK, thanks, my mistake :D

count me in on this. The page refreshing is a pain.

Quick question.

When I am uploading to my Forums Directory, do I just transfer the entire Upload folder or do I open that folder and upload each thing into it's resepcted area? I tried to upload the folder (and all it's contents) just the way it is, but I don't think that's right. Before I go and upload each individual thing in the Uploads folder, I thought I would ask first.

TIA!

(hope this made sense)

I uploaded all the files into my install folder in my root directory. The I uploaded the shoutbox.php into the root itself also. Installed the hack and seemed to go good. Have the shoutbox settings in admincp and saw the new templates were installed. I look at my forums and it does not appear. No shoutbox or change to anything at all. The shoutbox is enabled in the settings and all settings seem to be ok. Anybody have a clue why this is happening? Thanx in advance....:)

i just copied and pasted it into my ftp and it was fine, it put everything in the correct files then

Seems everything is installed to a tee and my shoutbox.php page works fine.

http://www.xxx-forums.net/forums/shoutbox.php

Can't understand why in the heck it wont show up on my main forums page. I'm pulling my hair out on this one...

Shouldn't it appear right under my navbar? :ermm:

Has to be a template not right?

yeh mine not showing either....install seemed to go fine.

vb version 3.07

any help would be greatly appreciated....many thanks.

I'm still at 3.0.6 here. Still can't figure it out either. Hopefully someone has come across this and its an easy fix :D

Can I edit member's shout?

Harder than heck to install, but, works great. All of my problems were fixed by reading through this thread.

mine has been working fine for about 3 days but now its playing up

when ever i try to shout its not showing up

see screenshot :(

any ideas why this could be happening?

many thanks

dean

any 1?

try and reinstall just the templates. first check your settings in the admincp

ive uninstalled and reinstalled the whole thing twice now but still dont work for some reason :(

K-got mine fixed up...went thru the install again and it gave me the edits this time...works good..clicks install

i may be able to take a look at it

Found a problem with Firefox...everytime i go to type in the message box, as soon as I click it to type, it keeps refreshing. Won't let me enter anything into the box. does not do this with IE. Any suggestions? Thanx in advance....

I'm using firefox and i'm not experiencing that problem in my site...

How do I enable the ability to link usernames in the iframe mode? As you can see here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...chmentid=15866 the usernames are not linked, but I want them to be.

Thanks! :)

I have disabled BB codes. But when a user types in a URL in the shoutbox, it still uses the [url] tags. How do I disable this from happening (only in the shoutbox) as well?

Thanks!

okay i did it and I got this error, how do I fix it please explain it to me in simple terms still learning with the whole hack thing.

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Invalid SQL: ALTER TABLE vb3_language ADD `phrasegroup_shoutbox` MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL

Hi, great hack you have here and I installed it with no problems at all and it has worked amazingly since. I just have one problem and it isn't a big one but I would like to know if it can be sorted.

In the attachment you can see in the user profile that if the person is in the shoutbox or forum index you cannot see where they are, unknown location. Is there anyway this can be fixed.

Thanks very much for the help and great hack!

P.S. I as you can see I tired to make it the user profile anon. but then I noticed it was mine I had taken a shot of so it doesn't matter :P

when trying to run the hack_install.php file, i get the following error, can anyone help??

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

thanks

is this hack compatible with the latest version of vbulletin software?

thats the one im trying it on.....waiting to see

umm... mine wouldn't even get past the first step... i tried even running the files after a fresh re-installation of vb with the database being fully emptied... i have this hack on my old one it just won't let me install it now... o.O

Hi,

I just installed this on a fresh installation of 3.0.7 and it works perfectly. Ran through the installer with no problems. Just remember to make the edits to your php files once the installer is done.

Directions of what to edit in what file can be found on a link on the last page of the installer process.

All done and working with no issues!

Instaling this hack I got this DB error:

Line 405 in the db_mysql.php says:
include_once('./includes/functions_log_error.php');

But the file functions_log_error.php is in the includes folder.

Any ideas?

Are you using php 5? This hack wouldn't install on php 5.0.4. Those are the same errors I got. It does run on php 5 just won't install. I had to downgrade to php 4.3.10 to get it installed. Once installed I switched back to 5.0.4 and the hack works fine with vb 3.0.7.

Running php 4.3.11 strange indeed?

Remove the DEFAULT '0' from the auto increment column.

This is going to sound dull now!

How :)
