if you want the shoutbox to work prolly run this query

CREATE TABLE `shoutbox` (
  `shoutid`    int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `userid`     int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  `shout_text` text NOT NULL,
  `timestamp`  int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  PRIMARY KEY  (`shoutid`)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

No, don't run that query, Do as the instructions say and either switch it off to install the Prerequsit, vB Shoutbox v1.0 as the instructions tell you to.

[wolfe]

well i had to do that because the instruction never added it so i added that and it worked fine

[NTLDR]

No, the instructions tell you to install the hack or turn it off.

does this hack allow you to add new pages to your site?

[asweetdeal]

I installed the hack, love it!! However, I have a private forum and if a guest comes in they have to register or login, the login box pops up and when you enter your login info or click on register it gives a 404 error because it is looking for /member.php and not /forums/member.php... is there a template I need to change or what can I do to resolve this?

Thanks!

You either need to place the full url in the error_nopermission template or hack functions.php or member.php.

Hi,

I have a serious problem with this hack.
I have multiple skins.

If i wish to change the header off skin 1 on the home_header no problems occur.

Now i change the header of skin 2 on the home_header.

Boom skin 1 i changed and nothing applies to skin 2 the home_header stays green.

I am really lost. Is there a fix for this or should i install vbhome (lite) ???

Please help.
Thx in advance

Oh yeah i have the correct template set selected.

[Buddha]

i don't understand what

Boom skin 1 i changed and nothing applies to skin 2 the home_header stays green.

means.

i have multiple skins as well, and they work fine with vbindex.
