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.

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

Any advice appreciated

No advice then?

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

What PHP version do you have?

Rename hack_install_b1.php to hack_install.php and use it for now.

Works like a charm for me on version 3.0.3...

but today I got this little warning box message in my IE browser...

anyone knows what could have caused this problem?

If you had this installed before make sure you revert all your templates
