I don't suppose there's a text file for this hack is there?
I'd like to see the full list of phrases because I think I'm missing one, at least I'd assume that's the problem I'm having in the admin cp.

Installed great... however i see nothing on my forum home and when i try to access shoutbox.php i get "invalid priveledges".

This is obviously a permission issue. How can i get this to work!?

Also can somebody post the HTML that needs to be placed in FORUMHOME.

I seem to have not done this and i cannot use the installer again to get it...

Here's the code that goes under $navbar in the FORUMHOME template:

Thanks a lot! :)

this works great thanks.

However on forum home everytime i hit refresh, it shows the script before acting

http://www.soloviolin.com/forum/shoutbox.php?do=iframe

is there a wait to stop this appearing? makes it look not clean.

confirmed, only happens in IE though.

and aol :(

My forum has a background image defined in the body of my CSS.

When the shoutbox loads it too loads the background image into the seperate iframe.

This doesnt look very attractive. Is there anyway i can stop the shoutbox iframe from using the vB CSS?

Thanks

will this hack work on vb3 rc4? i tried installing this on our site and got a message saying it wasn't compatible with our version or something to that affect.

Anybody?

i have so many problems installing it.

me too almost the same problem as cavola :)

how do we reinstall this?

i am having troubles when upgrading to vB 3.0.1.

How... weird...

I've installed this and followed all the instructions, but nothing change. Not even a thing.

In the admincp, there's no Shoutbox administration menu (Yes I've edited the required files mentioned in the instructions and uploaded all of them), and no shoutbox on the forumhome (Yes I've added the code beneath $navbar)...

?.? please help ?.?

(I've tested on both vb3.0.0 and vb3.0.1... not working)

On 3.0.1 when I am trying to install it get:

BV Shoutbox Installation - Running MySQL Queries
Dropping shout table (if it exists)... Done
Creating shout table... Done
Deleting setting group (if it exists)... Done
Deleting setting group phrase (if it exists)... Done

There seems to have been a slight problem with the ******** database.

I have vbadvanced installed, how would I go about installing this as a block in the front page, and avoid the template installations. I mean, I don't want my forums to be clogged with a shoutbox. I'd just like it on the front page alone. Any help? Thanks :)

OK well I installed it and everything is there except the shoutbox on the forum hom.. Yes I edited the templates, yes I went into usergroup permissions and made sure they were all set to yes...

ARg...

OK the permissions were set right in the cp but I had to go in set them to NO and then back to YES for it to work.. wierd...

A couple of my users have reported that their browsers crashes (in IE) everytime they go to the page where the shoutbox is installed (I've put it in a forum). Any ideas what could be causing this? (I cant reproduce the problem myself)

any ideas wen this will work wit 3.0.1 cus i really want it :P

It worked on mine for a while but then it ++++ed off somewhere.

How would I change the colour of the text in one particular style of my forum (I have several) from black to white?

hm.. i installed it.. did all the file mods.. but only thing i can see now is some scrambled thing in admincp.. like there is something.. but it is like.. not it..

and on the main page.. i cant see anything.. though i copyed all files needed and so on..

and if i try to access the files like

http://MyUrl.dot.com/shoutbox.php
then it says that i dont have permissions to access it.. .. well.. if admin's permissins are not enough then what are?

hmm.. that was useful :)
thanks man :)

OK, I finally got it installed into 3.01 with no problems. I had made a full backup of the database first and when it did not work, I had to wipe and restore the db to do the reinstall. It did not want even a trace of it in the system.

In addition, the default permissions were set to "YES", but I had to set them all to "NO" and then back to "YES" before anybody could see the shoutbox.

Strange thing tho. The "Edit" link in the Shoutbox area of the ACP does not show up (but it still works). See the attached picture. Also, if I hit the delete button without checking a box, I get either an error that says:

or I get a db error like:

tpir hasn't posted in this thread for support since the day he submitted his hack here. He hasn't been back on vb.org since April 9th. I wouldn't expect this hack to be supported.

Me thinketh I'm going to use the other shoutbox. Seems to be more support and features as well as stability.

that is wierd, but i am glad you said something, becuase I was having the same issue... but i did what you did and now it works LOL

I agree. Maybe I will switch to the other shoutbox as well.

Thanks ahead...

I have tried and tried to install the shoutbox correctly..I just tried editing all the php files again a minute ago to no avail..I ended up re uploading my includes/functions_online file because I kep getting a parse error......

Now I cannot reinstall using the admincp/shout_install unless I delte tables from MYSQL and I am scared to do that....

What do you reccomend??? Is there any way someone can edit the php files with the correct shoutbox edits?? I'm messing up somewhere along the line...

OK-I have that fixed but I need a couple files

includes/functions.online
