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.

Yup, I know. I just changed my e-mail, and I had to add it. It looks like now that I'm fine since I don't see that green message up top, right? I hope so.

I just installed the Shoutbox hack and I received no errors throughout the installation, but the shoutbox is not showing up on my forum page.. :ermm:

The shoutbox options are available in my AdminCP and everything appears to be set correctly..

As a side note, I do have vbPortal installed..

Any ideas??

Make sure once you finished doing the edits instructed in the installer that you finished doing installation. I had done the file edits from the installer and the template edits and by the time i was done i forgot i had not finished install. I went back and finished and it was working fine.

Also thanks for this after at leats 15 tries i have installed correctly at my site but all my users can see the shoutbox in ie but i cant. I have updated my media and java, flash and all my windows update. ITs blank with the color of the background covering the shouts. I see it fine in firefox. Anyone know how to fix this? Also if this info help vbradio also will not work on this computer but it does for everyone else and it plays on my laptop. I just bought this system and im running XP media center SP2. Extra info if it helps and thanks in advance!

@Doctor_Who - check your Usergroup permissions for yourself and you will probably find that your group has Shoutbox set to Off at the moment, you need to turn it on..

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.7:

Invalid SQL: ALTER TABLE language ADD `phrasegroup_shoutbox` MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL
mysql error: Duplicate column name 'phrasegroup_shoutbox'

mysql error number: 1060

Anyone know what I did wrong :/

Thanks in advance

@d-mac - you already have the column 'phrasegroup_shoutbox' in your db, so remove it and then retry install of db files again.
