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! Help me please! And forgive for my English!

If I press on the button "Send the message" in chatbox, the page of a forum entirely is updated. How to make, that the chatbox was updated only a chat?

I just installed this on a win2003 server running apache and it installed no problems with no errors at all , bar 1 slight user error.

I noticed as i installed i was quite hasty when clicking NEXT maybe you should put tick boxes to make sure people have read what is being done before they can click ?

I also noticed that the README.html never displayed for me while installing and i thought that the hack didnt work - it was only after searching the folders that i found the README.HTML and discovered i had a few templates and files to edit ... after that everything worked perfectly.

Personally , I wanted a list of users online to be displayed in the shoutbox so that people didnt go posting when no-one was online (i know some people dont have this no-one else online issue, but my forum is newish) so i checked the script and added a tiny little code that i think helps a little.

on FORUMHOME template Find :

<if condition="$vboptions['shoutbox_shoutonforumhome'] == textarea && $permissions['shoutboxpermissions'] & SHOUTPOST && $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 1"><center><form action="shoutbox.php" method="post"><input type="hidden" name="do" value="addshout"><textarea name="message" rows="5" cols="60" class="bginput" wrap></textarea><br><input type="submit" name="submit" value="$vbphrase[shoutbox_shout_now]" class="bginput" accesskey="s"></form></center></if>
</span></td>

and REPLACE with :

<if condition="$vboptions['shoutbox_shoutonforumhome'] == textarea && $permissions['shoutboxpermissions'] & SHOUTPOST && $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 1"><center><form action="shoutbox.php" method="post"><input type="hidden" name="do" value="addshout"><textarea name="message" rows="5" cols="60" class="bginput" wrap></textarea><br><input type="submit" name="submit" value="$vbphrase[shoutbox_shout_now]" class="bginput" accesskey="s"></form></center></if>
<div class="smallfont"><b>Active Users: </b>$activeusers</div>	</span></td>

All thats being added in is :

 <div class="smallfont"><b>Active Users: </b>$activeusers</div>

but where its placed is important to how it displays.

Thanks a million for the Hack - i had a shoutbox on the site already, but no-one used it as it was popup only - this one is a much better system.

Are you 1000% sure you did not insatall another shotbox hack, or have used vBindex in the past?

[CuriousGeorge]

I just installed shoutbox on a clean install of vB 3.0.3, running at www.christianchapel.net

The install went fine, and when I go to ../shoutbox.php everything works fine as well. However, nothing is displaying on my mainpage. I looked throug the settings for shoutbox in the control panel, and can see nothing that would lead me to believe something was wrong. I also searched this thread, and could find no documentation that might be of assistance.

Any reason why, on my index.php page, the shoutbox does not show?

Thanks

[TwinsX2Dad]

Perfect & flawless installation - but I can't stand the iframe option, so I disabled it in the admincp settings.

Me clix install. Thank you!

A suggestion: How about a shoutbox admin block in the left column of the acp?
