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.

I had yours installed, I installed vbadvanced cmps. I un-installed yours and attempted to reinstall it, get the above errors.

I know we have to edit templates, but what do we edit? The new installer didn't tell me what templated to edit...

Sorry if I missed this, but I didn't see anything on this in the last 22pages .

Installed, no issues what so ever.
The only complaint i can make is i want to make a sub usergroup that has access to the shoutbox, but can't post. (IE they are a registered member, but i also add them to the 'Banned From Shoutbox'). When i try this, they still have access because i guess registered users have access. Only when i make it their main usergroup does it work.

Otherwise, great hack. Thank you for sharing.
--------------------------------------------------------
For those of you who are getting a 'denied by usergroup' error. Make sure your usergroup has access. If you don't see the shoutbox options in your usergroup then make sure when you installed the hack that you did the LAST STEP.

Is there a way to Auto Prune Old Shouts instead of manually deleting each one!?!???

Hmm..on the new installer, I am getting the following:

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home3/nzboards/public_html/forums/install/his_files/hack_install_b3.php on line 30

Warning: main(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home3/nzboards/public_html/forums/install/his_files/hack_install_b3.php on line 31

hmm worked fine for me, i only get that error when i try installing it on VB2.2.6 but the hack aint made for that

[WebTechTalk]

How can I change the background of the Shoutbox?
