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.

I've jsut been taking a look at the usergroup settings and theres a table with 10 options yes/no but no text in this area whatsoever.I'm starting to think I may have made a glaring mistake now(tho I'm pretty sure I havent its fairly straightforward)so any help is appreciated.


Wij

The uninstall queries: in SQL format for version 1.04. Run these queries in phpMyAdmin:

[sql]ALTER TABLE language DROP phrasegroup_shoutbox;

DELETE FROM phrasetype WHERE phrasetypeid=716;

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS shoutbox_posts;

ALTER TABLE usergroup
DROP `shoutboxpermissions`,
DROP `shouthierarchy`,
DROP `shoutmaxdaily`;

ALTER TABLE user
DROP `shouts`,
DROP `shoutbanned`;
[/sql]

Now re-install.

Now re-install.[/QUOTE]
great hack, works without problems!
Installed*

the only question i have:
How can i make a little reload sign in the iframe to let the users reload the frame manually?
Thank you

[wolfgang2]

2nd "problem" :

Even though i have put all the rights perfect, admin can hard delete etc. in the admincp, mods can do, i don't see any text anymore to hard delete...
what could be the problem?

[BBoo]

I already have another shoutbox but I like this one better and would like to install it. However, I'm quite new to these things and presume I'd have to delete the one I have installed at the moment.

If this is the case, I have no idea how to do that!

Any advice appreciated

Hi. The shoutbox is almost finished... I just need to figure out what to do so that the names and postscounts show. Right now all the old shouts say "0" as the username. What did I miss?

I did.... everything from the upload folder :P

I redownloaded, reuploaded, and tried to run the install script...... I have NO idea why it doesn't work for me...

I'm running vB 3.0.3, php version 4.3.8, MySQL version 4.0.20-standard

I also tried running the hack_install_b1.php ... that worked fine until after I checked for the install of the shoutbox (of course) and hit install or continue....... it tries to bring up the hack_install.php again and gives me the same stupid error
