You are trying to run the install file again. You need to delete the tables first, then install it.

Thanks for this code. Originally I wanted a java applet that would interface with the web server (no servlets), but this will suit my needs just fine.

One customization I did was integrating it as a forum. I didn't want it at the top of every page. Instead I wanted it listed under the forums list and protected with the same permission attributes as the other forums in the members only section.

I made a new style set and edited the forumdisplay template that shows only the chat box about 400 pixels in height and along with the standard header and footer. I created a new forum called chat and assigned the new style set to it. Then I put all the shoutbox code in the forumdisplay.php instead of the index.php.

Works great! Thanks!

Good idea. :)

I have the same prob :(

All installed wth no errors, i can access to /shoutbox.php and to the admin pannel.. but still dont have the Shoutbox on Main Page :(

I'm running vBB 2.2.9.

Did you go and add the bit of code it told you to in forumhome template? It will not do that for you. (I had the same issue because it SEEMED to be taking care of all the templates for me. Darn French Guy. j/k)

read the thread:

I have like this..

<!-- /text -->
<!-- main -->
$shoutbox
$loggedinusers
$pminfo
$birthdaybits
$forumbits
</table>


Seems that is this right? :dead:

no, put
$shoutbox
before
<!-- main -->
