Date: Monday 17th of March 2003 12:11:16 PM
Script: /forum/shoutbox.php?page_shout=chat
Referer: http://clan-ice.racknine.net/forum/shoutbox.php

I've installed the hack and read all the posts in this thread and I still need some help.

My shoutbox works when I call on it domain/forum/chatbox.php , and it appears in my admin panel just fine. Unfortunately the main page of my forum is blank, but the inside pages work.

Obviously theres something wrong with my index,php file, no? Any ideas to help a newbie?

@ japhi : i feel you must have copy pasted the index.php part on the
wrong place...

could you verify that part ?

to put things back working quickly you should put back
your index.php as it was before you hacked it (you know
the backup you've done)...

If you have no backup and you are in a hurry, i can do what i told
you in reply to your pm.

@lioncool1589 : i'll have a look on that when i arrive at my
workplace since there's a strike on the parisian metro and
i'm going to be late at work (9;22am here ;)).

@ japhi again ;) : as i told you in awnser to your pm after
having a look at your index.php :
you just forgot to put some newlines after the part you
copy pasted in that file, so the call to the last gettemplate
was on the comment line and it was never called...
unfortunately it is that gettemplate which creates the page .

I'm putting this here in case someone else has a blank index.php
and he wants to check before asking ;).


@ lioncool1589 : it's the first mysql_num_row which must be
changed, the one just above the query with the INSERT
statement.
As for upgrading to 1.2.4, in the new install script there is
an uninstall part a the bottom of the first step ;)... (it may
also work for those who want to try the chatbox and take
TWT's shoutbox away, but it's not guaranteed).
For your mysql error, it doesnt talk to much to me, but i'd say
that's more related with your server than the script... but i
may be wrong on that one :rolleyes:

hi, i have a really easy question, i searched in this forum to see if its already asked but i cant find it.
