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.

So far Debbi, Wapture and I all have problems with the Shoutbox on the index page refreshing the entire page (as opposed to just the iframe) when a Shout is posted.

Perhaps this has something to do with one of XP SP2's patchy little security fixes (like the annoying locking of the status bar).

I still need some help, I can't edit, delete or modify any shouts in the shoutbox, and all permissions are correctly setup..

Any help please?

There seems to have been a slight problem with the database.
Please try again by pressing the refresh button in your browser.

An E-Mail has been dispatched to our Technical Staff, who you can also contact if the problem persists.

We apologise for any inconvenience

Just a database error, i cant figure it out

[Wapture]

Tell me what the database error is please..

When you see that error, there should be a box below with the error. Post it

I can honestly say I'm having no problems with the Shoutbox except for the page refreshing on the index when a shout is posted from there. I did have some problems with the install and had to go into phpMyAdmin and manually remove everything pertaining to the Shoutbox and then reinstall it. After that all was well.
