Shoutbox Hack 1.04b

11/09/04 - Version 1.04b. Just an installer upgrade, nothing more. Nothing to see here, move along.

10/22/04 - Version 1.04a released. This is not an upgrade from 1.04. If you already have 1.04 installed, don't worry about this. This release just updates the installer and fixes any errors in it. If you had problems installing it last time, this should work better. If you need support, posting it here may get it answered, though posting at the board at GeekyDesigns.com is prefered.

This is the same hack formerly released by Link14716.

08/30/04 4:19 PM EDT: Fixed a settings bug (I hope): see this post.

08/29/04: Shoutbox 1.04 is released, featuring a new installer system (using the Hack Installer System) and redone templates, as well as a few bug fixes. Enjoy.

Presenting: The Shoutbox Hack


Support posts made at GeekyDesigns.com have a higher priority than posts made in this thread, and is the prefered way of getting support.



There are way too many features to list, so I'll just let the screenshots do the talking.

I get the following error when installing Shoutbox Hack 1.04b

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Invalid SQL:CREATE TABLE vb3_shoutbox_posts (
`shoutid` BIGINT (255) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' AUTO_INCREMENT,
`text` TEXT,
`userid` BIGINT (255) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0',
`username` VARCHAR (255) DEFAULT '0',
`ip` VARCHAR (25) DEFAULT '0',

`edittime` BIGINT (20) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0',

`deleted` TINYINT(1) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0',
PRIMARY KEY(`shoutid`))
mysql error: Invalid default value for 'shoutid'

mysql error number: 1067

using mysql 4.1.8

Does the CREATE TABLE statement have to be changed to work with 4.1.8 ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Installed on 3.06 and everything seems to be working fine
EXCEPT... When using IE if i go to the shoutbox.php to view the shouts or post one and i want to click a smile to add it. Well when clicking the smile i want it will click to the top of the page like it did a refresh. Will get the "Error on page" broken java image on bottom of brower.

Now no matter what smile i hover over the link points to forum/shoutbox.php?#

The smile box works fine anywhere else on the board.

any ideas or help would be appericated.

Thanks in advance

I've spent hours trying to get the advanced editor and wysiwyg editors to work in IE and FF, no luck. I got everything working but FF so far. Like you, my editors else where on the site work fine.

I even have this working in the new, yet to be released, version of vbgarage in all modes in both IE and FF, but no joy here. Go figure.

If I get it working, I'll try to share my findings, but at this point, I've long lost track of my changes.

anyone who can help me please

Does anyone know how to increase the refresh rate on the shoutbox? I am using version 1.04. Fresh install.

[noppid]

Shoutbox settings->Refresh iFrame Every x Seconds?

[ambrosious]

Ok, where is that? In my admin CP all I have is Shout Manager, which allows me to edit or delete shouts?

Am I missing something?

Must be, there is a whole setting group in the ACP for the shoutbox with alot of options. It's usually the last option in vBulletin options.

[ambrosious]

Right, well I installed it on version 3.0.3 and saw that option, but not in version 3.0.6.

I'll have to go look at the install to see what I did...
