Shoutbox Hack 1.04b · **Released**: 08-29-2004

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.

Can someone point it out to me. What I see is the following:

PHP Code:


			
Open admincp/index.php

Find this:

// ####################################



    // ***

    if (can_administer('canadminthreads'))

    {

        $printhr = true;

        construct_nav_option($vbphrase['subscription_manager'], 'subscriptions.php?do=modify', '|');

        construct_nav_option($vbphrase['add_new_subscription'], 'subscriptions.php?do=add');

        construct_nav_group($vbphrase['subscriptions'], '<hr />');

    }



// ####################################



Replace it with this:

// ####################################



    // ***

    if (can_administer('canadminthreads'))

    {

        $printhr = false;

        construct_nav_option($vbphrase['subscription_manager'], 'subscriptions.php?do=modify', '|');

        construct_nav_option($vbphrase['add_new_subscription'], 'subscriptions.php?do=add');

        construct_nav_group($vbphrase['subscriptions'], '<hr />');

    }

    // ***

    $printhr = true;

    construct_nav_option('Shout Manager', 'shout.php?do=modify', '|');

    construct_nav_group('Shoutbox', '<hr />');

This gives me the option to clean up the shouts but not the options I need.

Anyone?

Maybe you are missing settings from the install? Just a guess.

ambrosious · #**490** 02-07-2005, 11:36 PM

That's what I'm saying, any idea which settings or code I'm missing? I've redownloaded the file and still don't have it?

BigKev43 · #**491** 02-08-2005, 07:20 PM

Is there suppose to be a file called shout.php in the admincp dir?

trying to get my options avaliable in the admin cp and added the code above.
I now have the option avaliable but when i click it i get page cannot be disaplayed.

its point to shout.php?do=modify

as the above code tells it to.
construct_nav_option('Shout Manager', 'shout.php?do=modify', '|');

But i dont have a shout.php nor is there one in the zip???

any ideas?
