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.

Hi,

I just installed and all was going very well. No errors etc.

Once done, I tried to test it out, but it's simply not there!? The ONLY mention of it that I can find is in the Options dropdown. The "Shoutbox Options" are not visible in my user editor or in the usergroup settings.

What did I miss and how to fix?

(Running vb 3.0.3 and once again I should mention that I there were no errors or complaints of any kind during the setup. The shoutbox is enabled as well as the board.

Please, can anyone make a recommendation on how to proceed.

Regards

--snake

-EDIT/UPDATE: I have now just attempted a reinstall. Same problem. No complaints during installation. In the Admincp Users and Usergroups options make NO mention of the shoutbox.

The "Vbulletin Options" dropdown menu lists "shoutbox options" however changing any settings here failed to get the shoutbox to actully SHOW UP on the forumhome.

I can point my browser DIRECTLY at the shoutbox.php file on the webserver, and on that page everything works "as advertised".
I just cannot get it to show up on the forumdisplay. Double checked settings.
Cannot access any shoutbox options in user accounts usergroups, they appear as they've always been.

Could anyone PLEASE help!..

regards

love this hack as i said before.
But i would like to delete regulary the shouts out of my database via php myadmin.
Until now i had to delete manually!! ( klick all the boxes ) to delete the shouts.
Unfortunately there is no option to hard delete all shouts at once.

Is there any query i could run which would delete the all the shouts in the table?
Manually sucks

If there is one how is it?
Thank you for helping
Bye Wolfgang2

is there a way to remove all shoutbox phrases, from the 1.03 version, i want to do a completely fresh install of 1.04

thanks

Hey all I actually tried installing the upgrade but I got a white page with three errors (I'll check out your site as well geekydesigns.com), but I just wanted to mention that the previous version of this hack is working beautifully for me so I have no need to upgrade. Only thing I'd love is a mass delete button!

Yes what? yes it installed and now it wont uninstall?

Just remove the file edits and template edits and the hack is uninstalled. Just some database information will remain?
