I modified the templates some as you can see here on http://www.extremechatforums.com/forum/shoutbox.php If you guys are interested in these changes please let me know and i will post the modified templates. If thats okay with link.

That seems like you had an error when you installed it, it was trying to add a phrase that already existed. (Upgrading to RC2 error.). It wouldn't occur when people shout.

There are 2 lines of code to pay attention to in shoutbox.php:
Now, you can change $_SERVER[HTTP_REFERER] to a relative URL to redirect them to a certain page, or change both lines to this to redirect to the shoutbox:

Post from lines 816-826 of init.php here so I can see what is wrong.

Go ahead and post them :)

That fixed it!!!!!!! Thanks!!!

Look at what it says on my localhost now!!!
Ok, so the final is going out tonight. All I need to do is the .txt files for file edits and templates and re-test the install.

And here are the new 1.0 Final Screenshots:

i am so confused. I'm trying to upgrade from RC1 to this final. There are so many files in there. Can you point me to the right file that tells me how to upgrade?

Hi mate. Here ya go

// ### INSERT PLUGIN USERGROUP PERMISSIONS BITFIELDS HERE ###
// ----------------------------------------------------------
$_BITFIELD['usergroup']['shoutboxpermissions'] = array(
'shoutview' => 1,

);

// ----------------------------------------------------------

// now take all the usergroup bitfields and define constants for spot permission checks
foreach($_BITFIELD['usergroup'] AS $_permgroup)

{

unset($_constname, $_constval, $_permgroup);

Well done on brining this to final

It looks very nice, and it works beautifully in the iframe on forumhome. However, when I go to the shoutbox.php-page with a usergroup that's allowed to shout it shows up completely blank. (If I try to access the shoutbox-page with a usergroup that isn't allowed it shows a rejection message).

Any ideas where the problem might be?

Upload all files in the upload folder of the zip to your forums directory and run http://www.yoursite.com/forums/admin...l_shoutbox.php.

geezzaa: I don't see any error in that code. Has another hack that you installed edit init.php?

The only thing that I could think of would be a missing SHOUTBOX template.

Doh! It was in lowercase ("shoutbox") instead of upper case. :tired:

Thanks for the help! :)

Glad you got it working. :)

okay thanks.

<a href="http://www.cyberty.nl/forums/shoutbox.php?" target="_blank">http://www.cyberty.nl/forums/shoutbox.php?</a> javascript error and...the header is pushed togheter.

How can i remove the 'Today's shout' above the shoutlines on foumhome?

--edit-- the javascript error is gone when i remove the onload after the body tag in SHOUTBOX template.

Nice hack works a treat thanks :D

after editing my index.php in the root I'm getting

Parse error: parse error, expecting `')'' in /home/ttacnet/public_html/forum.php on line 17

Can't figure this one out. Edited perfectly so I thought. gonna continue to work on it.

I figured it out, I left off the );

I would like it if it was possible to create an automatic pruning of old shouts. Is there any easy way of doing this?

Alright, new problem this afternoon, has been working fine, but my shouts don't show up on the forum home if I disable the iframe. I'd rather not use the iframe.

It is in the "shoutbox_iframe" template and the "Other shouts" is in the "shoutbox_iframe_shoutbit" template. (It's a $vbphrase)

Pruning will come later, I started on an admin script with pruning a while back but got frustrated with it, I'll try again later. I'll keep your suggestion in mind and make a cron-compatible script to prune shouts as well.

As long as you have edited index.php, created the 'forumhome_shoutbit' template, edited the 'FORUMHOME' template correctly, and switched the iframe off in the 'Shoutbox Settings' part of 'vBulletin Options', it should work.

Heh, looks like a forgot to phrase a few words in shoutbox.php (the navbar), so I'm going to release 1.01 soon.

Thanks. :)

Sure enough, index.php, my copy and paste job from the install was off, all I pasted in was

"// Shoutbox Latest Shouts
// Shoutbox hack by squall14716

Left out the rest, haha. Thanks for the advice though.

I cant run the installer

iNSTALL INSTRUCTIONS

1. Upload the contents of the 'upload' folder to your forums directory.
2. Run http://www.yoursite.com/forums/admin...l_shoutbox.php and follow the directions.


when I do that i get this:
Warning: main(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/nurses/public_html/forum/admincp/install_shoutbox.php on line 23

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/nurses/public_html/forum/admincp/install_shoutbox.php on line 23


any suggestions?

Here ya go.
Congrats on the final .:)

i attached a picture of what the shoutbox looks like on my page... would you happen to know what went wrong?
it works when i turn i-frame off though... if its alot of work ill just leave iframe off but i would prefer to turn it on so if its not hard to fix then please tell me how ;)
Thanks alot!

That error indicates that global.php in the admincp directory doesn't exist!?! Did you happen to rename your admin folder?

As I said before, I see nothing wrong with that code. Does a fresh init.php solve the error? Have you tried to re-hack a fresh init.php?

Make sure your shoutbox_iframe_shoutbit template exists

Yes mate. its a totally new board, no other hacks installed and no changes made to directories

Will be installing this I just wondered how I uninstall this if I need to I'd really appreciate it if someone could give me some instructions before I do install thanks :D
