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 have also problems with the reinstalling.
After Upgrading vBulletin to 3.0.4 i had to change the files again manually, all templates are still there as well as the database entries.
But it is blank all the time.
Where can be the error?

Worked great until upgrading today

Besides:
it seems that the hack is working, even though u can not seee the entries....but they are in the mysql database....

Please help or give any helpful advice!

Hi Guy's,thnx for the great hack.

I have installed de shoutbox and it works great.
I have 3 skins, but on my Xtreem skin, I see nothing on de forumhome, only on the shoutbox.php page.
Now I saw that de forumhome template was not updated with the forumhome code, en I put de code in de template, but then I have a error :


The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' in /var/www/html/forum/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3054) : eval()'d code on line 15

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.


The Shootbox works on 2 skins,but not de Xtreem skin.
Help me please

How Can I Mass Prune My Shouts...

Thanks for any help given...

Well the only way I know of atm is to go into phpmyadmin and then to the shoutbox_posts table and start deleting. At least you can set how many you want to delete at a time. I deleted 4000 shouts yesterday.

Find post #373 in this thread and do the file edits in the text file that is attached there and that will take care of your problem. I had the same problem and this fixed it for me.

Joo, i change the part in the index.php and it?s work fine

Thx hero|Highlander
