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.

Here is another message from the forum:

Your usergroup(s) do not have permission to use the shoutbox.

And if I try to set the setting in the UserGroup for Admin, this is what I get:

I have the same problem right now with BBCVman
Is there a way to get rid of it.

[mawtenbiker]

alright I had a problem with the hack I uninstalled it, went to reinstall all and this is what I get.

Warning: halt(./includes/functions_log_error.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/hrdece2/public_html/forums/includes/db_mysql.php on line 389

Warning: halt(): Failed opening './includes/functions_log_error.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/hrdece2/public_html/forums/includes/db_mysql.php on line 389

I have the templates in my bulletin but I can't get rid of them and it wont let me reinstall it.

[Zacharicus]

Thanks a lot for this!! Is there a way to tweak it a bit, so that for instance, the first shout uses css class alt1, then the second, uses alt2, third uses alt1, fourth uses alt2 class etc?

It would also be nice to get the shouts on forum home into a seperate div tag or something, so that each shout is perfectly left aligned together. Would make it more tidy.

[cgwillis]

Anyone having a problem where all the shouts disappear after a day or two? It just started happenning in the past couple weeks. I tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling, and it is still doing it.
