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.

How do I enable the ability to link usernames in the iframe mode? As you can see here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...chmentid=15866 the usernames are not linked, but I want them to be.

Thanks!

I have disabled BB codes. But when a user types in a URL in the shoutbox, it still uses the [url] tags. How do I disable this from happening (only in the shoutbox) as well?

Thanks!

Hi, great hack you have here and I installed it with no problems at all and it has worked amazingly since. I just have one problem and it isn't a big one but I would like to know if it can be sorted.

In the attachment you can see in the user profile that if the person is in the shoutbox or forum index you cannot see where they are, unknown location. Is there anyway this can be fixed.

Thanks very much for the help and great hack!

P.S. I as you can see I tired to make it the user profile anon. but then I noticed it was mine I had taken a shot of so it doesn't matter :P
