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.

Will this mod/hack slow down, corrupt or maybe timeout a website if the database gets too big?

[Link14716]

It shouldn't.

[Polo]

For those of you having this issue, re-download the zip and re-upload these two files:

install/hack_install_b1.php
install/hacks/Shoutbox_Hack/14/settings.php

Then in your browser, run http://www.yoursite.com/forums/install/hack_install.php?do=install&step=dosettings&hacks= Shoutbox_Hack&override=1

Let me know if that doesn't solve the problem.

The screenshots tell the story.

[Polo]

one more question... do i have to have the HIS installer system or can it be installed manually?

[Link14716]

The HIS installer is the manual installer. It doesn't need a seperate installation and is packaged with the hack. Just upload all files and run install/hack_install.php.

Otherwise, this hack would be breaking vB.org's rules.
