i cant even install it right and thus it also puts errors on main site

gah

I got an error thru installation when it tried to put in something into the database, can't remember what it was now as I refreshed, it started again and wouldn't go further as tables had already bn put in so its stuck half installed.

is there a .txt readme to follow thru I can check how far I got and continue manually?

anyone?

What error?

I would bet its that his shoutboxpermissions column is already there.

This happens when as in my case, after upgrading the VB software, you have to re add any edits to php files.
Since the BV shoutbox runs off an installer, it tries to reinstall everything instead of just allowing you to see the file edits you have to redo.

If you have it previously installed, it hangs at the mysql query to add the shoutbox permissions column, since its already there.

Then after dropping that column and restarting the installer it hangs at importing the templates, again, since they are already there.

It would be incredibly helpful if the file edits could be posted in a .txt file, as after an upgrade, thats all you need to redo.

Perhaps this post might help :)

Im confused. Which shoutbox hack is better/newer? This one or Shoutbox Hack 1.04b ?

Exactly what I needed. Thanks very much! :)

Thought I'd point an error in the post

after the following:
Should be:

includes/init.php
Find
Replace with
Find
I'm sure most people will catch it as they read it, but better to have a post about it :) (I'm sure there is some mention of it before also, but I just skimmed to the end to see what errors I might encounter with a recent install)

Works fine for me now: http://www.axioentertainment.com/forum/

I do have one annoyance though, when you click Who's Online it displays the following now:
Is there any way I can fix this?

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/public_html/includes/functions_newpost.php:1) in /shoutbox.php on line 130

I get this error whenever iam posting a new shout as iam the admin :( .. Help plz ... Otherwise everything of it works

I put my site in to debug mode and found that there are 16 queries executed for the shoutbox iframe page! yikes

After a few hours of scouring this thread, looking for other shoutboxes ect... I have finally got it working. The text is a little big, but there is no background anymore. If you go to the shoutbox_main template and remove
it should look like this

The text gets bigger, but I'd rather that then a background making so no one can read the shouts.

shoutbox installed fine and working but It didn't install the shoutbox, shout manager in my admincp. how can I install the manager? Anyone that visits my site and shout, edit, and delete shouts.

i'm new to vbulletin "hacking" so i'm having a few problems installing this shoutbox. i'm getting a sql error and i'm not too sure how to fix it. can someone help me?

thanks in advanced.

In admincp, find :-

Underneath add :-

Did you already try to install this once? Or have any other shoutboxes installed?

I'm having the same problem as loftyasianz.

When I first installed this hack, everything went fine, no errors.The only problem was that shoutbox or shoutbox manager appeared nowhere!

Hmm, so I tried to install it again, and now I keep getting this error:
What do i need to do to start anew with this hack?

Cheers!

yes i already do have it installed but like the post above mine, i dont not have any buttons or permission in the admincp so i tried to reinstall it.

You can't run the installer twice 'cos the 1st step of the installer runs the SQL changes :-

1 => 'Running MySQL Queries',
2 => 'Importing Templates',
3 => 'File Edits',
4 => 'Template Edits',
5 => 'Creating Permissions',
6 => 'Inserting Phrases and Settings',
7 => 'Install Complete

You need to completely uninstall and then run the installer again .. make sure you run it until you see "The installation should now be complete. Please delete shout_install.php and shout_upgrade.php"

thank you guys so much it works perfectly now ^^

WOW .. that was quick .. 5 mins between me posting a solution and you getting it to work ..

I have installed this mod but in the AdminCP - vbulletin setting's - SoutBox setting's i see nothing only Save and Rest no other option's. Where did they go ?

Thanks

i get this

Invalid SQL: ALTER TABLE usergroup ADD shoutboxpermissions INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0' AFTER forumpermissions
mysql error: Duplicate column name 'shoutboxpermissions'

mysql error number: 1060

ok managed to get rid and reinstall now its on but i dont see it on my main site? i have edited the correct style template but no shout box on index????

Updated permissions for who is allowed to view and use the shoutbox ?

Has anyone got this working on vb 3.0.7 ?

I've been through the install, all went fine, but f'all shows up.It's like the damn thing hasn't even installed.

What's going on???

Template change made in forumhome ?
Updated permissions for usergroups to view / shout ?

I have changed the FORUMHOME template already, yes.

When I change the permissions, I egt this error message:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.7:

This happens with the admin group as well.

Also, I don't see a "shoutbox" manager anywhere? *puzzled*

Did you run teh shout_install.php installation file without any errors?

Do what i did mate

UNINSTALL THE PICE OF CRAP!

I spent 4 hours yesterday playing with it trying to get it to work, and in the end after reading 80% of people's posts saying its crap i uninstalled it.

Did you complete the manual file edits shown in the installation

I have to admit, I'm don't usually have this attitude, but I probably agree with that quote.
I did manually edit the php files, yes!
Yes!

Like a already said, everything went smoothly, no problemos!

The only "slight" *sarcasm* problemo is, when I go to use the feature, it doesn't work (permissions) and half of it isn't there (shoutbox manager), and shoutbox doesn't appear on my forums anywhere!
Apart from that, hmm I'm sure it must have installed :ermm:

lol, I tried uninstalling it last night, but even had problems there.I'm not sure what to do, even after following the uninstall instructions.

Therefore suggestions on how to install or uninstall are welcome, as I'm stuck in the middle at the moment, and either solution would get me out of this hole.

Cheers!

I installed, made the changes to the files, added it to the forumhome template.

The shoutbox shows up as follows:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2005/06/1.jpg

I have two issues. .
#1 why does the "page generation" msg come up twice in the iframe?
is there a way for me to remove this or atleast make the space below the form box taller so they dont mesh together? I've looked & cannot figure it out.

#2 I have the shoutbox in my vbulletin options. . I can change the permissions in the usergroups. . but I dont have the side admincp link to edit the other options/delete shouts & so on from the admincp. . I've made sure that I uploaded all of the included & edited files. . I double checked the updates made to said edited files. .

where may I be going wrong?

thanks in advance for any help sans flaming.
DES

how do i revert everything and start over? my box powered off during middle of process and now i cant get to the area where i need to see what files to edit. I wish the instructions were in a seperate file. :(

I guess I'll need to run db queries that reverse changes. i got all the way to where it tells you what files to edit.

i installed tyhis mod but i have some problem?s
how can i uninstall this mo? :(

how did you uninstall it?

messed up my vb3.0.7 admincp!now cant access it!the following error-
Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/adamboyf/public_html/admincp/index.php on line 925

this line 925 was suppose to be the last line of admincp/index.php,so what more i'm i suppose to edit?Would greatly welcome any hlelp on correcting this or any suggestion on uninstalling this!!!

Check to see that there are no extra characters (including space or new line) after the '?>' in that file. Also use a plain text editor and not something like DreamWeaver.

One of my files is screwed.

Any ideas at all?

how the hell do u uninstall this ++++?????
