Shoutbox Hack 1.04b · **Released**: 08-29-2004

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.

In my ADMINCP, I do not see and SHOUTBOX drop down menu on the left side, I have found in ADMIN PERMISSIONS that there is a blank with a yes/no check box.

I have installed and uninstalled BVShoutbox FULL about 50 times in the past 2 weeks and failed to get it to work. I HAVE however managed to get yours to work, its just the ADMINPC permissions are missing. Thanks for such an easy to install hack and for actually giving support, unlike the last hack i mentioned.

I am running VB 3.0.1 is this the cause? or should I uninstall and reinstall the tables?

Thanks again.

thats what i get after the "Rebuild Style" set
, any suggestions?

Roms · #**147** 09-26-2004, 09:46 PM

I take that back.... This hack has some problems. You change styles on the page it errors, most times the shouts don't showup. I'm just glad I finally got the entire thing removed.

I'm not touching this again with a 10 foot pole.....

What did I miss and how to fix?

(Running vb 3.0.3 and once again I should mention that I there were no errors or complaints of any kind during the setup. The shoutbox is enabled as well as the board.

Please, can anyone make a recommendation on how to proceed.

Regards

-EDIT/UPDATE: I have now just attempted a reinstall. Same problem. No complaints during installation. In the Admincp Users and Usergroups options make NO mention of the shoutbox.

The "Vbulletin Options" dropdown menu lists "shoutbox options" however changing any settings here failed to get the shoutbox to actully SHOW UP on the forumhome.

I can point my browser DIRECTLY at the shoutbox.php file on the webserver, and on that page everything works "as advertised".
I just cannot get it to show up on the forumdisplay. Double checked settings.
Cannot access any shoutbox options in user accounts usergroups, they appear as they've always been.

Could anyone PLEASE help!..

regards

-snake

i just installed it and i get the EXACT SAME THING!!!
i can point directly at shoutbox.php and get it, but NOT any other way.
i read all 10 pages of posts and don't see an answer either.

plus, is there any way to arrange the shout boxes?
