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.

can i get this hack working in the shoutbox? https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=59650

[Alien]

Has anyone gotten this to stop counting a users shouts if they keep submitting them (even though they have a max of, say, 10 shouts a day)?

If they keep submitting shouts (even though they won't DISPLAY) their counter just continues to go up and up and up making the leaderboard useless..

[lasto]

Need a bit of help

shoutbox is working fine but any shout i make dont show in the iframe on the index page and this has happened since i changed host and moved everything over.

Anyone got an idea on a fix for this ??

[jilly]

FYI - postbit update - to show number of shouts in postbit, put

Shouts: $post[shouts]

whereever you want it to appear..

Same problem for me. It installed fine and the options for the shoutbox are in my Admin CP, but I don't see a shout box. It is turned on in the CP.

im a bit confused with the instructions of this hack

it says upload the contents of the upload file into the forums bit

so what do i upload to the forums folder?

it says upload then it says in that folder install and hacks and his hacks etc, do i just upload absolulty evry single file individually to the forums root?
