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.

The problem is we all do the file edits but there is a conflict with this hack and 3.0.7 i dont know how you managed to keep this m-working. You must did an extra step from us or because you installed in previous version. But right now with the file edit instructions and etc.. this mod is now working with 3.0.7

The main problem is

WHERE usergroupid=6
mysql error: Unknown column 'shoutboxpermissions' in 'field list

How can we pass here ? Any help will be really usefull.
People who are using shoutbox with 3.0.7 how did you manage to install etc..

Dude , I finally got mine working after some time spending on it. Let me explain to you so you can get it working also.

Download the attachment in this post
run the sql queries from phpmyadmin

after download the shoutbox zip from this thread and replace the attached queries file with the one that comes inside the zip file. Upload the files and donot forget to replace the attached queries.php
After the installation you are ready to go

Hey Lizard... will this fix my current situation as well? As my forums, noone can even get to posting...? I uninstalled the hack completely, but still, the damage has been left behind and its crazy. lol

I understand the coders get busy, no problem, just if anyone can point those that are lost here in the right direction, that would be great!!!!

It may but i can't give any promise to you. Did you check your file edit in init.php ?
and also did you do your file edits in admincp/user.php and admincp/usergroup.php ?

The post above is most likely for installation errors.

[aloha]

I am going to try it as I have just completed a full back up of the website... check in in a few minutes...

Well I ran those queries and this is the error I get...

An error occurred while attempting to execute your query. The following information was returned.
error number: 1064
error desc: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ';
INSERT INTO `setting` VALUES ('shoutbox_datebegindefault', '

:disappointed: I think I will do the same. >starts the gruesome task of overwriting VB<

[Vman]

Well I tried to uninstall the shout and here is the following errors:

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

Warning: halt(): Failed opening './includes/functions_log_error.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/vman/public_html/forums/includes/db_mysql.php on line 389



I can't get past this point to re-install then use the above suggestions....

How do I fix this?

[ShOck11]

This is goin too sound to noob like...but im so lost... Im an admin to a forum but I dont have any chance of getting to the codes or anything... The first step says

to go to 1. Upload the contents of the 'upload' folder to your forums directory.

I cant even find my forums directory in the admin Panel...Is it there or not? After I have that I should be fine. But thanks for any of the help.
