I also get a blank screen for hack_install.php (and I've checked all the files and reuploaded many times... This is the first hack which hasn't worked for me).

I can manually load hack_install_b1.php but I get "No hacks found."

IMHO it would be easier to install it manually :P

I'm with you, A choice of Manual or auto install would be nice.

Can someone please post the code that goes in the forum home template. I seem to have reverted the template and can't run the reinstall again.

Thanks!

For, anyone who cannot install the hack via the hack isntaller please provide as much information as possible, Server OS, PHP version, MySQL version, Apache or ISS, PHP as a modual, filter, cgi, or fast CGI, and if there are any restrictiosn on the server such as openbase dir restrictions or safemode.

ok, Great hack. i got mine working perfectly.

however, i would like to get this hack working in a module on my cmps front page. Does anyone know how?

PHP Version 4.3.6
MySQL version 4.0.18
Server Software: Apache/1.3.29 (Unix) FrontPage/5.0.2.2623

I don't know how to check the rest but I do know that the system is NOT running in safemode.

Like I said, I've successfully installed 6+ other hacks and I have many other PHP applications running on the server with no problems.

And yes, I'm running vB 3.0.3

[QUOTE=Harley D]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?

EDIT" I have found that deleting his_installed does allow me to reinstall. However I still get an error

This error is what is causing the permissions in my ADMINPC not to show properly or not at all.

So what information do you need that I'm not providing? what do I need to do to get an answer to my question?
ANYONE????????

Its been awhile since no one answered soooo Im asking this question again...Since the Box is toooo wide for my site, how would one go about changing the size of the Shout Box so it does not distort the width of the site...

Thanks in advance..

i have a left column on my forum. how can i get the shout box to be 150pixels in width? instead of going all the way across my right column?

well i got this to work in the end, im no expert and pretty new to php/sql

it seems when i installed vbindex and a previous shoutbox mod after uninstalling them it left behind tables in the sql database.

Use phpmyadmin and search for shout, or shoutbox and delete everything under these names, i had to do around 5 or 6 deletes before running the installer again to get it to work.

if you miss one of the tables to delete, the installer will not work and you will get the duplicate error message again when u install, so you have to REDO your deletes. justkeep searching in phpmyadmin. if a noob like me can do it then im sure you guys can

well thats how i got it to work, i hope it helps some others :)

thanks for this nice hack! got there in the end :) :up:

in the shout box screen click on the users name that has made the shout and you see the option to soft/hard delete

Great hack. We use it mainly among moderators to help comunications and fast actions. One question, is it possible to have it appear not just on the forum main page, but also on the New Posts page, that's were a moderator is most of the time. It would help a lot.

Thanks.

You can make theiframe display anywhere. I THINK you could repeat adding the same extra code to the forumhome template to the search template.

PHP 4.3.8, Apache 1.3.31

how do you make it display in the "forum home"?
i get nothing.

damn this is kinda buggy :speechless:

getting this error messages right at the beginning:

my server specs:

any hints?

does this shoutbox also allow guests (not registered users) to post in it?

this just ruined my board!! what the hell... how can i take this back out? i can't get any access to any of the files that are in my forum, or that access any forum files... the templates must have gotten messed up. oh man!!!! this is big trouble... i didn't backup any of the templates... i didn't know there was a hack that could mess up your entire board like this.

what can i do?? i can't even go to the: forum/install/hack_install.php file.

now the error i get when tried to reach any page inside my forum folder, or any other file even outside my forum folder that is somehow linked to the forum such as my cmps_index.php file, just doesn't show up, it loads for a couple of minutes, then states "page cannot be displayed". i'm running 3.0.3., the only way i could imagine how this went wrong is because i have a different style installed, so when it automatically updated the templates... it messed up.

This hack cannot and will not ruin your board, if your having issues browsing to files on your server it is not due to anything that our installer or file changes may have done, try reuploading fresh files. Does this work? Did your host change dns servers, or recompile php and it crashed?

Seeing that you are saying pages outside of your forums folder are not displaying correctly this indicates its a server related issue, PLEASE dont accuse us of somthing not working when it is clearly a server related issue.

i strongly appologize. but only pages that ran php that was directly linked to the board didn't work, all the other pages did work, that's why i figured it could have only have to do with the hack, luckily it solved it self, so i figure maybe the mysql messed up puttign together the tables or somethin.

if you like i can just edit out the text.

Is there any way to prevent the shoutbox from refreshing the entire page when you post a shout? It's really annoying to have to keep scroll down every time you post a message.

It should only refresh the iframe, not the entire page...

It should not refresh the entire page, what browser are you using?

excellent hack,

*clicks install*

Does the shoutbox work with uTT Store Hack??

There is built in support for uCS

All these names :D but that's the same if I'm correct??

XP SP2's standard IE 6.0.2900.2180

Sweet.

I get this when running the installer X_X

I have the same problem and I'm using IE 6.0. It only does this after I post a shout though, not when it auto refreshes. It's a really great hack though. :)

Yep, that's what I meant; it refreshes the entire page after you place a shout. It's quite annoying especially when you're trying to have a live chat with someone and you have to scroll down several pages to reply.

If there's no way around this there should at least be a way to play an anchor at the shoutbox so it automatically goes there after the full page refresh... but having the entire page refresh is a LOT slower so that would in my opinion be a last resort.

Are you talking about the Shotbox page or the iframe?

can someone *please* send me the php code to get this hack to display on the main page?

thanks!

It should be in the installer...

The iframe. At least I am lol. The shoutbox page is just fine.

yes, but on 2 seperate sites, it doesn't work from a clean install of VB3.0.3.

so, *should* and *actual* in my case are not the same. :(

Please help :) last person w/ this problem didnt get help as far as i know

....... i don't know why but suddenly i'm getting a window that tells me i don't have permission to view it and it doesn't show correctly on my main screen... i'm owner of site, with permissions to view it and i'm not banned from it... anyone know what i could check on to maybe find something wrong and fix it??

Well got this too work after I totally wiped my database and thought ah well, i'll install this hack this time! Never make changes to your database when tired!

How's it look, everything appear okay? www.burnleyweb.com
