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.

2 questions.
1. i have my shoutbox at the bottom of the forums, and it kind of blends with the statistics box. id like it to have it's own heading and the ability to minimise it

2. how can i remove shouts? i have all permissins set for the usergroups, but it i don't see any edit or delete buttons.

thanks for the great hack.

also, how can i change the hight of the shoutbox box on forumhome? i need to decrease it because i have quite compact design and right now it takes way too much space.

1. You will need to edit the templates
2. There should be drop down menus on each users name
3. Edit the templates and adjust the size of the iframe

I am having what i think is a small problem and im most likely missing something very simple.

the iframe won't show on my forumhome.
i checked the forumhome template and there is nothing there to pull the shoutbox iframe.

the hack itself went fine and everything works.
is i go to shoutbox.php itself.

there is no popup being blocked from my firewall or my browsers.
i tried to use IE and firefox.

Did you do the edits to the templates?

Hi! Help me please! And forgive for my English!

If I press on the button "Send the message" in chatbox, the page of a forum entirely is updated. How to make, that the chatbox was updated only a chat?

I uninstall and try to reinstall, and I get:
Warning: halt(includes/functions_log_error.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

whereas I am looking at that log.php where it supposed to be.
