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.

Does the CREATE TABLE statement have to be changed to work with 4.1.8 ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm having the same problem as karlsson, does anyone have an answer to getting past this?

That'd be my question too.
Have the version installed on 3.0.6 ... yet I still dont see the option to mass prune and auto-update the shout-count of users. It'd be nice to have that count according to the shouts that actually exist.

I gave the cron job posted somewhere in this thread a try, but that does not update the count either. Anyone ever attempted a solution for this and would like to share?

i installed the hack, and everything seems to be working fine except my usergroup.php page...i keep getting this error in the admin cp

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/.darcy/amarisy/wb-legends.net/admincp/usergroup.php on line 1360

how can i fix this? o.o lol

[TruckMuddr]

All I can think of (not being able to see it) is that you messed up one of those 2 code changes. I'd look to see that didn't forget a } or have one to many. I took a fresh usergroup file and added the shout code to it and line 1360 has nothing to do with the shoutbox, So I'm assuming you have more then just this installed.

If you want I can look at it for you and see if I can figure it out. If So PM me.

[wb-legends]

fixed, thanks a lot

[TruckMuddr]

not a problem, glad I could help
