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've got two scripts:

hack_install.php

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

$path_to_install = str_replace("hack_install.php", "", $_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED']);
$install_dir = opendir($path_to_install);
while (($file = readdir($install_dir)) !== false) {
if (strpos($file, "hack_install_b") !== false) {
$versions[] = $file;
}
}
unset($install_dir);
unset ($file);
asort($versions);
foreach ($versions as $version) {
$theversion = $version;
}
unset($version);
unset($versions);
require_once($theversion);

and hack_install_b1.php

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'hack_install');
define('INSTALLER_BUILD_NUMBER', '1');
define('INSTALLER_VERSION', '1.0');

require_once('../includes/config.php');
chdir("../$admincpdir");
require_once('./global.php');
require_once('./includes/adminfunctions_template.php');
require_once('./includes/adminfunctions_language.php');
require_once('./includes/hackfunctions_b1.php');
chdir('./install');

I get the above error with both...

What error?

Remove this in hack_install_b1.php and see if it works.

Not sure why that line is there.

[Lionel]

it tells me

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: print_cp_header() in /var/www/site/forums/install/hack_install_b1.php on line 33

which is

print_cp_header('Hack Installer', '', "<style type=\"text/css\">

[Lionel]

I also do not have such required file in my includes:

require_once('./includes/hackfunctions_b1.php');

[Kalipo]

just installed and the shoutbox doesnt show on forumhome anyone got the code so i can add it to forumhome template

[Lionel]

I got it by doing like you said about config.php and by hardcoding the ../$admindir into ../admincp

[Lionel]

Everything installed fine, except for templates of shoutbox.php all messed up and a javascript error at line 115, and another one when I click on the quicklinks in navar. Problem is line 115 is just the css. I got a feeling it is coming from the WYSIWYG editor.

Also, can the "shoutbox closed" error message template be changed? It is bringing up the whole header and footer in the forumhome iframe box.

That's what I get for suggesting a fix at 1 AM.

That's because it is checked at the top of the file.

I'm going to have to check it on forumhome as well, though I thought it was checked there.
