i have attempted to change the look of the shoutbox template but it always gets messed up.

i am trying to get the border to show instead of it only being the pagebg

My members will love this hack, Maybe they'll say more than "Come to chat (username)" :D

How can I split it from my welcome panel (If you want to see what I mean visit www.weakestlinkforum.com).

find $shoutbox in forum home and put a <br> in front of it

TWT: I had done that and replaced the variable with a 4.

How do I have the last five shouts diplayed on the forum home? I saw a post on page one by someone but it was impossible to follow.

My latest shouts arent changing??? it reamains on the first shout posted when shown on my forum home.?

when I'm trying to shout something and click on Button "Shout Now!" a HTTP 404 NOT FOUND error site appears!! BUT when i manually get back to shoutbox.php I can see my shout!!!

I still changed in shoutbox_postshout template from "/shoutbox.php" to "$bburl/shoutbox.php" but the error stays.

also when I wanna delete a shout a HTTP 404 NOT FOUND error site appears!!

whats wrong ??

I have vB 2.2.6, you can test it HERE, User: testman pass: testman

thanks in advance,
Schorsch

Hello!!

could somebody help me with this HTTP 404 PAGE NOT FOUND error? I badly need this damn good hack :bunny:

I really don't understand this error, because when I press F5 (refresh) the shoutbox.php appears!!!

what could be the error ?? CHMOD ??

thanks,
Schorsch

same thing here and submit is really slow...it used to suibmit 17 shouts but I did the update to limit to one

is TWTCommish in vacation or why isn't he answering ?

come on...please help me :p

thanks,
Schorsch

Vacation? Uh, no. :) If I were on vacation, I'd spend more time here...I'm spending time on my job, buddy. :)

Anyway, in the "shoutbox_postshout" template, find this:

<form action="shoutbox.php">

...replace it with this:

<form action="$bburl/shoutbox.php">

I already did this step in template shoutbox_postshout

but the error appears :nervous: plz help

u can see the error on my board, goto http://www.fetter-esel.com with user: testman password: testman

thanks for tips,
Schorsch

The problem is your "bburl" variable contains "http://www.fetter-esel.com/vv" instead of "http://www.fetter-esel.com/vB"

where can I change this ?

It's one of the first settings on the vBulletin Options page in the Admin CP.

but this is correct!!

http://www.fetter-esel.com/vB

Something's obviously wrong. Your URL is apparently set to this:

http://www.fetter-esel.com/vb

And as you can see, that won't work:

http://www.fetter-esel.com/vb/shoutbox.php

The B, however, when capitalized, works just fine:

http://www.fetter-esel.com/vB/shoutbox.php

I know that it must be vB and not vb, but what is wrong ? what do I have to change ?

regards,
Schorsch

I told you. :) Go to the vBulletin Options page, and change the forum's base URL to http://www.fetter-esel.com/vB

but it already IS http://www.fetter-esel.com/vB

please take a look at my attachment.

Schorsch

It sounds like it might be a cache problem. Try clearing your cache and then submitting...

...I tried shouting, and I got the 404, and it did NOT come up alright after refreshing.

that could be with the cache, but look at the screenshot the url is right!
and my Base URL in vBulletin Options is also right (look at the attachment).

so what else could be the fault ?

regards,
Schorsch

edit: I cleared my cache and after pressing F5 shoutbox.php appears...it's definitly in the right directory www.fetter-esel.com/vB/shoutbox.php

any ideas ?

thx
Schorsch

No, no ideas. Quite frankly I'm stumped as to how this is even possible.

:( :( :( I wonder that I'm the only one with this problem :surprised:

so please can you help mit with this forwarding, so that after pressing "shout now" I get forwardet to vB/index.php ?

the main issue is that no HTTP 404 error site appears...

THANKS in advance!!

regards,
Schorsch

I have the same problem.. when i click on 'shout now' it redirects to a 404 page :(

working now.. :)

i changed form action="/shoutbox.php" to form action="$bbtile/shoutbox.php"

tks for the Shoutbox :D

anyone know how I can add this to Who's Online so it shows that people are in the shoutbox when people look at whos online?

Use Firefly's hack. It's excellent:

Hi :)

Great hack, I love it!!!! Just a couple questions:

• My shoutbox is located at the top of the forum http://nba2k3.net/forum/index.php. How would I go about changing: The Shoutbox - Latest Shout to match my other forum category colors? If you go look at it, you'll see that bar is Black with Lime color fonts. I would like to have that changed to Lime background color and Black colored fonts. Also, How could I change the color of the fonts in the actual shout alone if I wanted to?
  
• I still can't seem to figure out how to have the Shout posted to the top of each sub-forum, rather than just the main forum page:( Can anyone help me with this?
  
• Finally, what template is it that I change where the shout bar at the top of my forums are shown? Say for example I wanted to move it to the bottom.

Oh .. and by the way...what does the shoutbox_hack.php file do and where am I supposed to upload it?

Thanks very much!! :) I love this hack :)

I'd like to respectfully ask the people reading this to PLEASE keep all requests for support within this thread...I cannot offer support via email, PM, or IM. If I did, it wouldn't be long at all before I found myself spending more time troubleshooting with people than I I'd spent on the hack itself, by far.

Read the instructions included with the hack, and read through the thread if need be.

Thank you. :)

I solved my problem (getting an "HTTP404 page not found" error site after pressing shout button)!!!!!! :) :)

in shoutbox.php I replaced

with:

nevertheless I would like to know where the exact fault is located, why doesn't work this $PHP_SELF thing with the shoutbox on my board ??

thanks,
Schorsch

This works for my problem also thanks!

Hey TWT. I love this hack, and so dont my members. BUT, when ever you click shout, it refreshes Page cannot be found, and it does that for the whole site, not just the shout box. Has this happened to ne one? and how do i fix it? ive tried re-installing it, but i dont see how i coulda messed up seeing as i just copied and pasted.
Thanx

do you mean that a "HTTP404 page not found" site appears after pressing Shout button ????

if yes watch my above post, I had the same problem, but fixed it.

Schorsch
