Thanks - I tinker around with it for an hour or two and didn't have any luck. I'm pretty new to using PHP so I really wasn't sure what I was doing. Good luck !!

Ok this shoutbox sux obviously it works, but now I have the background image problem someone else did.. if I go through the hassle of taking this junk off my board where should I turn to for a new better shoutbox.

I have a slight problem installing the Sb.

I changed all the files like it's said, but when I want to logg in for adding the template this happens -> screenshots

someone with an idea?

thanks in advance :)

(Sorry for my englisch :D)

I finally gave in due to the lack of attention to any other shoutbox for vb3. I also got it working for CMPS: www.onlinedebate.net I hate having to use phpmyadmin to remove old posts...but I suppose it's a small price for a working shoutbox.

However, I failed at the code, gave in, and hired a freelancer for the job. My communities use shoutboxes a lot, it's an important feature for my communities, it was worth hiring a professional do the job right since there isn't much support out there for any shoutboxes these days.

I don't mind releasing the templates/code for the mod to work with CMPS, but there will have to be a small fee to compensate for the cost of the freelancer ($5 or less). I can't advertise it here obviously, and I'm not ready to release the code just yet (I want to clean it up a bit and make the install instructions a bit clearer).

OK, install instructions and code are complete. It is now available for release. However, I will not (and cannot) start a new thread for it because it isn't a free hack. If you have vBa CMPS, and have this BVShoutbox FULL hack installed successfully, pm/email or visit my site (CMPS Shoutbox support) to learn how to get this to work for vBa CMPS.

This hack is a nightmare to install even if you have only one small error and bigger nightmare to remove.

I don't expect support for a free hack but i do like clear instructions on how to remove if it causes errors. A text file of changes would have been nice.

Selling an add-on for someone elses hack and work is just wrong. I was under the impression it was not allowed here!

myphpadmin removes the hack easily. And if answering the question by a poster who wanted to know if there was an integration that existed is wrong, then a mod should edit my post. This shoutbox isn't supported, hasn't been updated. For those who have it working, as well as who want it to be displayed in their CMPS, the module I referenced above is invaluable.

myphpadmin does not help the average user remove this hack easily. If the hack had a good install.txt file it would have made it easier to uninstall with myphpadmin .

Without this how do you know what was installed to remove??

I agree it is a nice addon, but your addon is not free, you charge for it. That is waht I say is wrong and for what I understand agianst the rules here.

The original work is not yours and if it is abandoned by its author, at most the hack would become freeware.

Really it is vBulletins call. I just don't seeing someone profit of another mans free works.

I have done several addons and modifacations to anothers free work but never seen the need to charge for them.

Anyway it is just my opinion and I will not bother you anymore with it.

If you look in the install.php file, you'll see the tables that were included. It's a little work, but by looking at that, and using myphpadmin, you can tell what was added into the db.

Furthermore, NO ONE is profiting off of another's work here. CMPS is a portal system (www.vbadvanced.com). To date, no vb integrated shoutbox has been created for ANY portal system w/ exception of vbindex. Many requests have been made by posters in these and other forums, for a coder to work on a vb shoutbox that can be used for portals. Months and months have passed...no one was willing to do it. I tried about 15 different shoutbox possibilities, none were sufficient...none could integrate w/ vb. I tried coding it myself...but couldn't get it to work. I hired a coding company to create the shoutbox. I paid quite a bit for it (for the mod)...but it was necessary for my communities.

Since many others are still desperate for a solution to an integrated vb CMPS shoutbox, and no one is stepping up, I have offered this solution to those who want it now instead of waiting for another year or so before one is created. I make no profit here. I won't even break even. $5 is nothing, but it helps offset the costs paid by me to get the hack to work.

I have helped with addons to other hacks before. I never charge...that's lame. But this is quite different because 1) I hired a professional company to do the work, 2) I wish to be partly compensated, 3) $5 is a very small amount compared to the actual cost. Since I have paid the big bucks for the hack, it is a waste of money for someone else to do it, when I would offer it already complete and functioning, for such a negligible price that they would ordinarily pay. Of course, one could always wait until someone did it for free...but if the past several months are any representation of the coder interest in this project...there will be a horribly long wait. Some people may not want to wait and want this mod now.

Also, I would never post this in a thread by itself as an offer. I'm not aggressivily advertising it. I'm only mentioning to those who have an interest in this specific hack, as a solution IF they have CMPS installed.

As far as better install instructions...I could rewrite it so it works perfectly (the install), but I don't know if I can. As you said, this is someone else's hack. Is it even acceptable for me to fix and repost someone's hack? If it is, I have no problem with that, shouldn't take too long to write. But I assumed that the original code/hack wasn't to be touched if the result was just the same hack. My mod hack for BVFull is not the same, it creates a NEW shoutbox for CMPS front pages only.

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

Thanks

Invalid SQL: ALTER TABLE usergroup ADD shoutboxpermissions INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0' AFTER forumpermissions

I had a lot of these types of problems with my hacks after upgrading from 3.01 to 3.03. How i fixed it was looked at the error and went into phpmyadmin and dropped and entries that continued to come up.(ie. in ur case here the "Usergroup" table 'shoutboxpermissions' entry

After finally getting rid of all the Table Modifications associated with the hack was I able to do fresh installs of the hacks... Its a time consuming process, but it works and can turn out to be less time consuming then other methods.

***Note*** Here's a tip .. If ya drop a table entry error and try and install the hack and it errors at a new point further along then the previous error spot then you'll probably need to drop BOTH table Mods again and so on and so forth for as many as there are. SO I just Copy and pasted them into a txt file and then I had the Hack Table Mods on file.

Good luck

Upgraded from the old Shoutbox and its working now! The only prob i had is it didn't alter my default template so it was going to a blank page after a shout was posted. Tried it different template it worked so copied the templates again. :)

So good to be able to mass delete and ban guest from viewing. :)

Would be interested to know how to delete shouts via phpmyadmin !?

I would just like to upgrade from the previous version, what are the instructions to upgrade.

Thanks :)

Can anyone tell me how to delele this shoutbox?

According to the install script this version hasnt been tested on the most recent version of vB. Any ideas when they will have something for it?

It works fine on 3.0.3. I've also made a mod for vb advanced for it.

Would you like to share the mod for the vbadvanced .. looks very good.

Yes, but it's not free. It's VERY cheap though. http://www.onlinedebate.net/forums/s...ad.php?p=41465 explains why.

Does anyone know how to limit the amount of shouts to say 10?

sure, AdminCP General Settings, go down to bottom, see Shoutbox...edit as you like.

The only thing i can do in Admincp is delete shouts?

What i'm after changing the default number of shouts displayed from 25 to 10, so it only will display 10. :)

I put a piece of code in the worng place and now the shoutbox doesnt show. Can anyone show me the peice of code I have to add to FOUMHOME?

It seems that I do not have a admin category with the shout manager and on the left bar in the admin cp. I only have what is listed in the admin options. I can't seem to figure out how to edit the permissions and I do not have the Shoutbox manager listed in my admincp. Can anyone please tell me how I can get this added, or how to manually add code to restrict guests from access to the shoutbox on the forums.

Thanks for everyones help!

Usergroups > Usergroup Manager > Edit Usergroup .. see attached

I dont have that listed within any of my usergroups? Im thinking my install went bad? everything else works but I dont have those options available to me. Do you know what I can do to get it there, what templates to edit? or files to add? Thanks!

Smilies aren't working either. When I installed I Just ran the install php file, was I supposed to manually add code to templates or php files? If so,
can someone please list what all needs to be changed or where I can find this.

Thanks,

Brandon

Just run through the install again and when it gets to the point of the template edits, make sure you have made all the correct changes to the templates.

Which version of VB are you running .. ?

I could PM you a copy of my changed templates but that would prove pointless unless you have all the same hacks that I already have installed :ermm:

So I need to manually edit the template files seperate from the install? Not just run the install file?

Ha .. you were posting as I was editing ..

YES .. you manually have to make the template edits

Okay I need to make 5 file edits and 1 template edit, is there a text file I can find these changes, bc the instal wont let me get past the first page. When it gets to the permissions table. It tells me this

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.0:

Invalid SQL: ALTER TABLE usergroup ADD shoutboxpermissions INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0' AFTER forumpermissions
mysql error: Duplicate column name 'shoutboxpermissions'

I will paypal someone $5 if they can help me get this fixed...

Thanks!

You'll need to completely un-install and re-install .. there is a link listed here un-install information.

Good luck .. If you want me to install for you after the un-install .. PM me

sent you a pm, thanks!

I've seen so many posts here stating that this shoutbox does not work and one of the main problems is during the install, file edits are not manually completed correctly. I've installed it on 3.0.1 and 3.0.3 with no problems and it works well.

Because the install procedure runs through all the necassary template, phrases and table changes so well automatically .. the only errors are
created by NOT manually changing the necassary phpfile additions.
