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 can't get past this point to re-install then use the above suggestions....

How do I fix this?

Don't uninstall it. Just make your file edits. Run the sql files through phpmyadmin and make sure you'll check them all. If they give you an error dont worry because the table is already over there. fter finshing the file edits and sql files run the installer and install the hack. After these steps you cn sit back and use your shoutbox.

I get about 4 steps into the installer and get the following error messages:

Warning: DB_Sql_vb::halt(./includes/functions_log_error.php) [function.halt]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\forum\includes\db_mysql.php on line 389

Warning: DB_Sql_vb::halt() [function.include]: Failed opening './includes/functions_log_error.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\forum\includes\db_mysql.php on line 389

Any idea what I should do to complete the install?

OK, I have really given up...I have tried everything step by step and now my board is all reversed...pictures, skins, blocks, everythings is now on the right side instead of the left....can't login, etc...

I uploaded all new vB files over the olds one....Ill wait until they fix this problem...OR find another type of shoutbox that will work...

One thing I have noticed is I have not seen one staff member comment on this issue!!!!

My Shoutbox is now auto-pruning every night, and I never changed any settings in the admin CP

I guess I'm going to have to uninstall this one, it seems like none of the developers are around to help anymore.

Paul,

If you can help, this is the error I get when trying to complete the install:
