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.

Hi. I'm so happy that you've updated this hack. my members and I love it!

The shoutbox.php breaks out of my design only when signed in. Where do I fix that?

D|ver · #53 08-31-2004, 01:28 PM

hmm i uploaded all the files, and when i run hack_install.php i always get a database error

do i need to install the HIS first?
is the his required for this shoutbox?

because i do not have a his_installed table in my database, i think that's why the error message came up

thank you in advance for support

Why wouldn't it?

is there a way to do this... without the dumb iframe, like the vb2 one?

Revert your shoutbox templates.

The iframe has and always is an option.

That doesn't give me much to go on. Give me the full error message.

hack_install.php should automatically create the table if it does not already exist. MySQL error reporting is turned off when the table is queried on the first page in case it doesn't exist.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
