Alright.

STOP posting these errors like "Warning: halt(): Unable to access ./includes/functions_log_error.php in /home/www/nc0801/html/vbulletin/includes/db_mysql.php on line 389". I do not care about that, it just means there is a MySQL error below. If you want support, I NEED to know the MySQL error. Period.

Second, to everyone getting those errors starting with "Warning: readdir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in /htdocs/www/forum/install/hack_install.php on line 22". I need more information. Web server (probably apache) and version and PHP version. Otherwise it'll be hard for me to fix this since I cannot reproduce this error, and the functions used dates back to PHP3.

Everyone requesting features: I'll get to you when I have time.

Hi,

Just wanted to add some more details for you.
The issue is with the iframe version of the shoutbox - because if you switch off the iframe you can see the posts.

The last time I had this issue was after upgrading to 1.02 of the hack - Link14716 fixed the issue then released 1.03 - his post on VB was as follows..

Not sure what was meant or if it is any help in this case or not.

Thanks in advance

Umm....*Confused* My shoutbox doesn't appear on forum home. I can type in forums/shoutbox.php and it'll take me to it. Once I'm there I can type in a shout but it gives me that error up there.

I tried re-installing and got this on the final install page:

Any news on possible fixes, suggestions etc on the iframe issue I have got ?

Thanks and sorry for the hassle...

No it doesn't. It has a few errors that affect a minority of the users, and people keep reporting, as well as some MySQL errors that look either like I have a bad query, bad version detection, or it's just user error.

Don't post the entire settings.php file, put it in [code] next time, please. It looks like it is just missing the starting tag (<?php) which causes HTML output.

Quote your original post or provide a link to it, or repost it. It's hard searching through all these posts to find one post on one particular issue.

The installer should autodetect whether or not you have 1.03 installed and will uograde instead of doing a fresh install, thus making that query not be ran, and not causing an error.

I'm still waiting for this information from people who have this error so I can investigate - which is kind of hard to do without knowing what causes the error or being able to reproduce it myself.

Thanks and sorry.

Apache 1.3.29, PHP 4.3.4, here.

Sorry bout that !!

Basically I narrowed it down to the iframe...
You cant see any shouts - if you shout nothing appears...
If you check shoutbox.php - they are there...
Also - if you use the static/manual mode - then you can see shouts and post shouts...

I posted this over on GeekyDesigns.com - including a link to a fix you gave me when you posted 1.02 and I had the same issue ..

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=257

Thanks in advance - sorry for any additional burden - it is a great hack :)

BTW - I said I was having phrase issues that suddenly corrected - well on a different hack there was the same deal - if you open/edit any phrase - dont make any changes and save it - seems to fix missing phrases :)

Hi guys. I notice that when the member has standard editor selected the smilie box does not work. Right now I'm telling people to use the Enhanced one... but they would prefer not to.

I have my shoutbox at the bottom of the forums and when a member hits "shout now" it takes them to the top of the forums page after they submit there shout.

How do I get it to send the member back to the shoutbox towards the bottom after they submit there "shout"?? Thanks for your help!

I get these errors when i try and install -


and this is the sql error -

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:


heres my php version - PHP Version 4.3.8

ive sort of got it working bby carrying on with the rest of the install , and also ive tried to delete the tables as shown on page 5 but when i goto edit settings in group manager i get sql errors, when i got post a shout i get mysql errors too.

hope someone can help, might end up uninstalling this otherwise.

regards

OK - cross this one off the list....

Little embaressed here - but after a bit of fault finding with another member of staff - seems the iframe not working was just me...
Very quickly I realised my Nortons firewall was killing the iframe as it though it was a popup window...

Really sorry about that - and thanks for a wicked hack !!!

How would one go about changing the size of the Shout Box, on my site it appears to be to wide and its causing the site to go off screen....

Which template whould I have to modify for this?

Thanks

"and I clicked installed" works great!!!!!

The queries you ran WERE for uninstallation. Run the installer again. (might need another query though if you completed the installer.) ^_^

Was the installation an upgrade or a fresh install?

Well then I have absolutely no idea...

it was for a fresh installation :)

BUMP!

EDIT

nevermind i had some sleep and noticed i forgot to upload the back up files:p

In my ADMINCP, I do not see and SHOUTBOX drop down menu on the left side, I have found in ADMIN PERMISSIONS that there is a blank with a yes/no check box.

I have installed and uninstalled BVShoutbox FULL about 50 times in the past 2 weeks and failed to get it to work. I HAVE however managed to get yours to work, its just the ADMINPC permissions are missing. Thanks for such an easy to install hack and for actually giving support, unlike the last hack i mentioned.

I am running VB 3.0.1 is this the cause? or should I uninstall and reinstall the tables?

Thanks again.

Well I had some free time so I tried it again... Got it to work. Thanks.



*clicks install ;)

thats what i get after the "Rebuild Style" set
, any suggestions?

I take that back.... This hack has some problems. You change styles on the page it errors, most times the shouts don't showup. I'm just glad I finally got the entire thing removed.

I'm not touching this again with a 10 foot pole.....

*Clicks UNINSTALL

Did you have another shotbox hack installed?

Errors how? JS or somthing else?

We've not had any major errors on the developemnt site or we would not have released it

Any suggestions/ideas?

i just installed it and i get the EXACT SAME THING!!!
i can point directly at shoutbox.php and get it, but NOT any other way.
i read all 10 pages of posts and don't see an answer either.

plus, is there any way to arrange the shout boxes?

Yeah, that's why there are 10 pages worth of people not being able to install and or use the hack. :b

We installed it on our developemnt forums, on fresh forums (with no errors) and on matthews live forum with no issues.

What errors were you having?

An error I'm having (and I've told Matthew about it too), is that when I try to run the install/hack_install.php script, all I get is a blank white screen. I've triple-checked everything, and it happens every time.

Do you get a white page onj any other scripts? Have you tried reuploading the files again (some ftp programs can be rather naughty at times ;))

btw nice avatar :)

We have 127 pages on uCS release thread, im sure there are TONS of people who had issues installing, mostly due to user error :) a very small percentage of which are actually the installers issue.

the installer works fine on linux and windows on php 4.3.8 we don't know why people are getting specific errors but we are working on fixing them.

O.K. Let me ask this...
where is the call made to settings.php?

Upgrade from TWTCommish Shoutbox hack.

I have sucessfully installed and got the shouts transferred to the new Hack, but the last step (?do=update) takes forever and URL Redirect timeout after a long period. I guess the reason is cause we have alot of shouts, and that the update procedure just takes too long time.
Is there any possible to work this out?
I'm not sure what the update procedure does.
Only thing I have figured out is it updates the username fields from the userid in the table.

Tried to uninstall so I could reinstall in attempt to get permissions to show up in adminpc.
did not uninstall properly, errored out, so I ran the above queries in phpMyAdmin. Undid all the file changes and then tried to reinstall.
But the installer is still showing that I have shoutbox 1.04 currently installed and will not reinstall?
Please help

Thanks in advance

How can i Delete Shouts ? Is there an Option to do this `?

Sorry for my English :nervous:

All I want to do is UNINSTALL all the TABLES form MYSQL!
So I can reinstall the hack.
There has to be something left somewhere in the tables, I removed all file edits and also I've tried to delete the tables as shown on page 5 and still the install program see's that I have it installed and won't let me reinstall.

any suggestions.

EDIT] I found in the install php file, that it looks to the table "his_installed" If I'm correct, it this the little sucker thats keeping me from reinstalling? and is thid safe to delete?
