This is a very simple shoutbox.

For those of us who don't have the resources to spare for vBShout v2.0.

No, it wasnt in the instructions.

First Step

Import product-chatbox_lite.xml using the Product Manager.

Upload chatbox_lite.php to your forum root directory (you can edit it first to change some options).

You can change text or translate finding the phrases with "chatboxlite_" prefix.

And it's done, enjoy :)

oh no the product xml should have created the table, did you import it?...

check your database for the table, if you dont have it run

[sql]CREATE TABLE vb3_chatboxlite_shout (
`shoutid` INT( 10 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
`userid` INT( 10 ) NOT NULL ,
`username` VARCHAR( 100 ) NOT NULL ,
`shout` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,
`dateline` INT( 10 ) NOT NULL ,
`ipaddress` VARCHAR( 16 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ,
PRIMARY KEY ( `shoutid` )
);[/sql]

the product manager should have run that though

any help why is it doing this ?? what do i have to change and how can i change it please? many thanks for the replies

[Dream]

run that query up there manually, im gonna check why the product xml isnt creating it later

[Zelda-King]

I checked this out.

Got a similar problem here as with the vB 3.5 shoutbox: colours. The button/text colours need looking at, though... I'm sure it looks OK on a lot of boards. Other than that it's looking pretty neat. If that gets fixed I may well install.
