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 don't know about the uninstall, but as far as not safe, a quick look at the handling of text input by users appears like link has handled it safely. Do you know of a specific issue with this hack?

[HERO|Highlander]

Just run the installer again and choose uninstall when prompted.

Also it seems like a safety hazard.

Templates etc. i can delete, as well as shoutbox.php, but in the databsae it is not so easy.
Any hints what i have to delete out of the mysql database?
shoutboxposts is clear...but the rest?

Did the install via NON HTL Install.
Thank You for any help

[HERO|Highlander]

Well I've been running this particular shout hack for a while now and I used to run the original ShoutBox hack by TWCommish back in the day and I've never come across any security issues with it.

Well, what I would do is to uninstall the hack using the installer script and then reinstall it... much easier to do IMHO.

Are the php changes specified anywhere?

[HERO|Highlander]

Not to sure what the error message is trying to tell yah but if the problem is you can't edit the usergroup permissions inorder to see the shoutbox it's because there were a few php file edits not showing up in the new installer. Go here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=373 and get the edit text and apply the edits to the proper php files and that should solve your problem I believe.

When I put this code to my usergroup.php, I can not manage the usergroups permissions.

It's this code :

PHP Code:

    if ($usergroupid != 1) // Guests can not post attachments
    {
        print_table_header($vbphrase['attachment_permissions']); 


Add Above :

PHP Code:

    print_table_header($vbphrase['shoutbox_cpusergroup_title']);
    print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['shoutbox_cpusergroup_canview'], 'usergroup[shoutview]', $ug_bitfield['shoutview']);
    print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['shoutbox_cpusergroup_canshout'], 'usergroup[shoutpost]', $ug_bitfield['shoutpost']);
    print_input_row($vbphrase['shoutbox_cpusergroup_maxdaily'], 'usergroup[shoutmaxdaily]', $usergroup[shoutmaxdaily]);
    if ($usergroupid != 1) { // Allow guests to shout but do nothing else...
        print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['shoutbox_cpusergroup_canedit'], 'usergroup[shoutedit]', $ug_bitfield['shoutedit']);
        print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['shoutbox_cpusergroup_candelete'], 'usergroup[shoutdelete]', $ug_bitfield['shoutdelete']);
        print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['shoutbox_cpusergroup_canhdelete'], 'usergroup[shouthdelete]', $ug_bitfield['shouthdelete']);
        print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['shoutbox_cpusergroup_caneditothers'], 'usergroup[shouteditothers]', $ug_bitfield['shouteditothers']);
        print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['shoutbox_cpusergroup_candeleteothers'], 'usergroup[shoutdeleteothers]', $ug_bitfield['shoutdeleteothers']);
        print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['shoutbox_cpusergroup_canhdeleteothers'], 'usergroup[shouthdeleteothers]', $ug_bitfield['shouthdeleteothers']);
        print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['shoutbox_cpusergroup_canip'], 'usergroup[shoutip]', $ug_bitfield['shoutip']);
        print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['shoutbox_cpusergroup_coventry'], 'usergroup[shoutcoventry]', $ug_bitfield['shoutcoventry']);
        if ($vboptions['shoutbox_enablehierarchy'] == 1) {
            print_input_row($vbphrase['shoutbox_cpusergroup_hierarchy'], 'usergroup[shouthierarchy]', $usergroup['shouthierarchy']);
        }
    }
    print_table_break();
    print_column_style_code(array('width: 70%', 'width: 30%')); 


This is my error, it's happend on all groups:

Did you edit the correct forum template? It should be the FORUMHOME template and did you make sure you copied "all" the code from the installer to the FORUMHOME template correctly? Check these things again.

I'm having trouble displaying my shoutbox on the forum index page.
I have copied the code exactly as it is in the installed and have tried reinstalling the shoutbox too.
It is set to enabled in the shoutbox settings, I have even tried reverting my forumhome template to the original, but still no luck.
Can anyone shed any light on the problem?
Cheers,
Dan.

Great hack! Since upgrading to v3.0.5 I've changed from using BVShoutbox to this one, except I'm wondering has anyone figured out a reason/fix for the refresh bug? I'm getting the same issue where it refreshes the whole page when you submit a shout, but the auto-refresh works fine. I have members using Firefox and IE, and on different Windows versions all having the same problem, so it might be a coding issue. Anyone?

Thnx Highlander, I have edit all php files, but I forget de init.php off vb3.0.5
Now I can set de permissions

[freakz]

after upgrading to 3.05 and reinstalling the hack I recieved a problem with the init.php code we have to add. If I add the code the package tells us to, I get a error on line 920 with a already writing header to cookie. But when I reload the original init.php file the shoutbox works but all users can see ip address and ect...

anyone have that problem, and have any idea how to fix...

[The Realist]

Can anyone tell me how I can drop what ever is causing this Mysql error:

Duplicate entry 'shoutbox_archive--1' for key 2
