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.

thats under style manager, edit css
the class name is bginput

not sure if the form element IN THE SHOUTBOX has that class applied
if not just add class="bginput" to

<input type="text" name="message".....

this will affect any text input form on your site

to give u an idea mine is

textarea, .bginput
{
	background-color: #F5F5FF;
	color: #15326E;
	font: 10pt verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
	border: #26a solid 2px;
}

you can search for style sheets, css, forms and get some ideas of all the things u can do with form elements

I am running 3.0.7 and when I tried to install it I got the following error on the last step. I am guessing its because I had the BVShoutbox installed before and I didn't remove it totally from the database.

Warning: halt(./includes/functions_log_error.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /www/t/thuffner/htdocs/board/includes/db_mysql.php on line 389

We apologise for any inconvenience.

There was then a large text area with the following error in it as well:

Any ideas as to how to remove the old shoutbox to allow for the installation of the new one?

Thanks!

I disabled BB codes in the shoutbox, but now, when someone submits a URL, it has the [url] tags automatically around it but it doesn't create a link.

How do I remove the [url] tags, or make it into a link?

a shout is just like a post, bb codes will display the same behaviour

i wish someone would come up with a way where if urls are disabled then nothing gets displayed or the url is replaced with some wording that urls are not allowed

i would like this for image tags as well

if it passed the regex test then u get the image or url displayed
if it doesnt pass, something else is inserted into the post or shout

like, not a valid image - not a valid url

good luck

support for this hack has disappeared
i tried installing it on a fresh 3.0.7 and as many people here keep getting ,duplicate column phrase already exist

ill see if i can export my tables and just give u the queries to run instead of using the htl hack intended for whatever version this thing is designed for

it works fine on 3.0.7, it just appears that you cant use the installer
once the tables are there its fine

------------------------------

ok i added a few things to this post, its not all there
stuff like the template edits
if u edit the installer and make it skip some steps in these queries and languages it will install the templates
think you will need to edit forumhome

this file is incomplete and use at ur own risk!
might help some that are having problems and know how to use these files

ps these queries wont work if u use table prefix
