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.

Did you edit the PHP files and the template file? It should work otherwise, unless your vBulletin version is too outdated. Which is actually...

Follow the last change you need to make in the FORUMHOME template on all the other styles.

and the shoutbox appears to be running as it should. BUT i do seem to be missing a few features, soft/hard delete etc. (it is enabled in usergroup permissions)

also the shoutbox options dropdown dont work (nothing there when you drop it)

Im new to all this so forgive what might be newbie questions i have searched here for days and not found the answers.

Durring install you get the option to generate files. After selecting this it creates, templates.php phrases.php and settings.php if i click Save this file nothing appears to happen? am i missing something here or do i have to manually save these somewere ? if not were are they saved so i can check they are there.

again sorry for the newbie questions but any help with this would be nice

would love a reply about this... tyvm ...

Will this work on Version 3.5.4?

error i'm getting, know why?

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/norest/public_html/forum/upload/install/his_files/hack_install_b3.php on line 30

Warning: main(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/norest/public_html/forum/upload/install/his_files/hack_install_b3.php on line 31

I uploaded the "Upload" folder and then I went to the address as specified in the "install.txt", the error above is what I'm getting.

i have installed this hack and work's great but i was woundering if there is a way to make the user names the same color in shout as they arein site... basiclly like a user group color mod for shout... so who ever is placed in a group has there own color on site and also it will show in shout... instead of the defalt color
i am running 3.0.7

Hope To Hear From You Soon...
Thanks For The Reply

[onewaydom]

Hi, nice hack for sure. What code do I remove to get the date and time, everything between the [ ] off the forum home display?

[Eagle Creek]

Any change for a 3.6 version of it?
