HI

When I try out the board by posting a shout, it posts the one shout about 23 times. What could be the problem?

Odil

Is there any admin options other than delete one shout at a time? Any way to cleanout out the shoutbox?

lol, yea - silly me ;)

Great Hack! I love it!
I have one question though, when I bring up shoutbox.php, under the test shout I made, I have a "tr>" typed in like I made a mistake copy pasting something somewhere. Anyone have any idea where I could have made this mistake, like in which template (I hate to totally reinstall due to my carelessness)?

Thanks

I just tried to install this on another board (not my test), and I can't get the shoutbox to display on index.php. Nothing at all shows up.

What can be wrong here?

thanks in advance...

Doh. Fixed the problem.

index.php wasn't uploading correctly.

i installed this hack
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...light=shoutbox
and now my shoutbox smilies don't work, but the smilies of the whole forum work.. help plz..

shoutbox like as spammer message?

errrrm.........

Any advice on how to incoprorate this into the vbindex hack that NTLDR put out? :) I think it would look great on a front page in a vertical column.

Hey TWTCommish, might I point your attention to THIS thread to get permission for NTLDR to incorporate your hack into the Vbindex one? :)

Working a treat on 2.2.7, thanks again Chris. :)

This hack looks awesome.
I installed the hack..Installation went fine, but when i go to the URL: www.yourfourms.com/forums/shoutbox.php
Under "The Shoutbox " it says "Sorry, no matching Shoutbox items found."

And when I try to "shout now", I get a 404/page cannot be found.

I know some others had this problem so I also tried to replace
with:
But still no luck:(

Any ideas? Thanks.

Screenshot below:

The form is posting to shoutbox.php in your root folder rather than $bburl/shoutbox.php... There's a fix for this in this thread. :)

*EDIT

Fixed it:)
THanks.

I aggree!! great hack nonetheless... I love it!

ThanX!

Great hack! :)

I just modified this great Hack to work with the Smilie-Sort order, removed the last Hard-Coded Text and added a Settings-Group to the vBulletin Options where you can set the Number of Smilies, Shouts per Page and Leaders to be shown.
This are only some little modifications, but if you are interested i will post them.
I am working on some Scripts to work with Boxes into vBPortal. Did some of you did this before?

Sure would be nice.
Do post.
No objection to posting on my behalf! :)

Finaly decided to install this hack. Installation worked great. But I have a big problem. When I want to post a shout, or delete a shout it always wants to download shoubox.php. What do I have to do?

anyone have problem installing Shoutbox on 2.2.7 using vbhacker??? I'd like to use this, But I shire don't want to mess up my db.....

thanks
DM

No problems here mate.

Always backup your database and you will have no problems ever.

PLEASE DO!!!

THe shoutbox is up and running fine on 2.2.7

thanks to all!

im pretty new to all this but interests me.........ive installed the shoutbox and all looks fine but when i make shout i get page cannot be displayed ??????

anyone of you clever hack dudes here tell me where i am going wrong because i love this hack and want it on my forums ....

anyone help me ??

Check that in shoutbox_postshout that you have shoutbox.php as the filename in the form, if you have changed the name change it there.

If not, do you have IIS? And do the shouts appear in the shoutbox?

ill just take a quick look m8 thanks

this is exactly what i have in the template

<table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="0" {tableinnerextra} width="100%">
<form action="/shoutbox.php" method="post" name="vbform">
<input type="hidden" name="type" value="shout">

<tr>
<td bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}" width="100%"><normalfont color="{tableheadtextcolor}"><b>Shout, Shout...Let It All Out</b></normalfont></td>
</tr>
</table>

<table cellpadding="8" cellspacing="0" border="0" {tableinnerextra} width="100%">
<tr bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}">
<td width="100%"><normalfont><b>Your Shout:</b></normalfont> &nbsp; <smallfont><b>[ <a href="$bburl/misc.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=showsmilies" class="small" target="_blank">Smilies</a> - <a href="$bburl/misc.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=bbcode" class="small" target="_blank">vB Code</a> ]</b></smallfont>
<br/><textarea name="message" rows="10" cols="60" class="bginput" wrap></textarea>
<br/>$smiliebits</td>
</tr>

<tr bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}">
<td width="100%"><input type="submit" name="comment_submit" value="Shout Now!" class="bginput" accesskey="s"></td>
</tr>

</form>
</table>

And you have the shoutbox.php file in the forums directory?

yeah the shoutbox php is in forum dir.........but cant understand why i get page cant be displayed ???

2 other php files are with the download would they make a difference?

admin_shoutbox.php
shoutbox_hack.php

When I try to submit a shout, I get redirected to www.mydomain.com/shoutbox.php and I need to get redirected to www.mydomain.com/forum/shoutbox.php. How do I change this?

The answer is in this thread near the beginning. Please read the thread before asking question.

Thanks bunches TWTCommish for this great hack! My members and I are really having a ball with it.

I look forward to your smilie in CP update. Until then, is there a way for me to add clickable smilies?

Thank you for the hack.. So far so good.. Had it directed to the wrong place but "john.eovie"'s post fixed that. Similies work fine as well..

Is there a way to prevent certain usergroups from using the Shoutbox?

Add:

Right after:

For multiple groups use: $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==X or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==X

Make sure X is replaced with the usergroupid.

Awesome!!! Thank you!

Something I had observed...

Don't you think something like an "edit" screen would be good?

Satan

Running like a dream on 2.2.8. Thanks yet again Chris. :p
