btw..when i post a new shout the whole page refreshes...is there a way 2 refresh the iframe insted of the whole page?

Ok I uploaded the files and double checked to see they were all there. Ran the installation but I did not see where to make any changes to any files/templates. Therefore I do not see the shoputbox on the forum or in my admincp. I am sure I missed something along the way so how do I go back and find what I need ?
Thanks for the help. Looks like something my members will use.
pS I am using vb 3.7

Update; I have the shout box settings in my admin cp but no links to it on the forum any where. I am still missing something here.

Got it all straigtened out. Just had to put on the eyeglasses to read where to click for the file and template changes link ;)

Thanks kindly for a nice hack.

I'm also looking for a way to just refresh the shoutbox when there is a shout, guessing it's just a template edit, but have someone found a way to do this?

We love this hack on my forum.
Just one thing I was wondering, and have read all the posts here, is there a way to change the size of the shoutbox ? Like to make it not as tall ?

Thanks for a great hack! Look forward to when you get a chance to add impovements and more functions :)

there is no support on geekydesigns forums so if anyone can help me with this plz do

Requests:

* Can I show the number of shouts a member has made in their postbit?
* Can I increase the number of top shouters shown on the leaderboard area?
(figured this on out - in the shoutbox settings in vbulletin options I could increase the number of people shown on the leaderboard)

Also, when I go to shoutbox.php, and try to use the advanced window to add colors and different sizes, the autocontrols dont work. If i physically type the code in, it does, but I can't use the drop down selection boxes like i can in a post
Thanks

I tried to install Shoutbox but i get this error when I type http://www.yoursite.com/install/hack_install.php ( I removed my site name for this post) Below is the error message I see when I try to install




Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in D:\Inetpub\forums\install\his_files\hack_install_b 3.php on line 30

Warning: main(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\Inetpub\forums\install\his_files\hack_install_b 3.php on line 31

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in D:\Inetpub\forums\install\his_files\hack_install_b 3.php on line 31

Has support for this been dropped or what?

Can someone help with my problem?
