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.

Is there a way to display on the CMPS?

Version 3.01, how can I move the shoutbox from forums home to say a specific forum.

Or is it possible?

I get this error when running hack_install.php:

"Warning: halt(./includes/functions_log_error.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/bozzyswo/public_html/unrulypolitics.com/includes/db_mysql.php on line 389

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

I obviously have old tables in the database, but I DO NOT know which ones to drop.

Can somebody list all the shoutbox tables this uses so I can drop them, and install the new version?

Thanks

go through the insyall file and find them

[bozzy]

Ok I got it installed and it works when I go directly to shoutbox.php but the shoutbox does not appear on the index...

[Vman]

How do I mass prune shouts...I can't seem to find that!

FYI I am now getting the no text files to show message too. I must have seen that in the 1.03 installer. I found this when upgrading to vB3.0.4. I had to use the notes I made in previously edited files to do the upgrade.

Could you possibly give us the notes so we can upgrade to?

They aint notes per se'. It's the edits in the old files, not the actual descriptions of where to insert and edit. Since I can't post complete vB files that would not work.

hopefully the author will step up and post um or repair the installer.
