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.

the fact still remains this has tons of bugs and needs some major re-tooling.

The hack itself DOES NOT HAVE any bugs that i am aware of, the installer still needs some tweaking and we are working ont it.

[Roms]

I'll try adding it without the installer, I'd really like to use your script. Let me know if I can bug you threw e-mail to get this working..

Is there any query i could run which would delete the all the shouts in the table?
Manually sucks

If there is one how is it?
Thank you for helping

was support for this hack dropped?

[alzibub]

Hi,

I originally had some question on Phrases not appearing - but for some strange reason they just appeared - 3 hours after I posted this - dont ask !

I do have one issue - I noticed new shouts arent appearing on the forum homepage - but they show under shout.php..

Relatively clean vb3.0.3 install.
Full install rather than Upgrade

As far as install - got as far as installing templates click done and then got SQL error for the final step - someone mentioned this wasn't too important as it was just the final success page.

Thanks for a great hack !
