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.

Sorry for my English :nervous:

in the shout box screen click on the users name that has made the shout and you see the option to soft/hard delete

Great hack. We use it mainly among moderators to help comunications and fast actions. One question, is it possible to have it appear not just on the forum main page, but also on the New Posts page, that's were a moderator is most of the time. It would help a lot.

Thanks.

You can make theiframe display anywhere. I THINK you could repeat adding the same extra code to the forumhome template to the search template.

[Schorsch]

damn this is kinda buggy :speechless:

getting this error messages right at the beginning:

 Warning: readdir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in /opt/lampp/htdocs/vB/install/hack_install.php on line 22

my server specs:

Server: Apache/2.0.50 (Unix) mod_perl/1.99_13 Perl/v5.8.4 mod_ssl/2.0.50 OpenSSL/0.9.7d PHP/5.0.0 DAV/2

any hints?

[Wordplay]

does this shoutbox also allow guests (not registered users) to post in it?

this just ruined my board!! what the hell... how can i take this back out? i can't get any access to any of the files that are in my forum, or that access any forum files... the templates must have gotten messed up. oh man!!!! this is big trouble... i didn't backup any of the templates... i didn't know there was a hack that could mess up your entire board like this.

what can i do?? i can't even go to the: forum/install/hack_install.php file.

now the error i get when tried to reach any page inside my forum folder, or any other file even outside my forum folder that is somehow linked to the forum such as my cmps_index.php file, just doesn't show up, it loads for a couple of minutes, then states "page cannot be displayed". i'm running 3.0.3., the only way i could imagine how this went wrong is because i have a different style installed, so when it automatically updated the templates... it messed up.

This hack cannot and will not ruin your board, if your having issues browsing to files on your server it is not due to anything that our installer or file changes may have done, try reuploading fresh files. Does this work? Did your host change dns servers, or recompile php and it crashed?

Seeing that you are saying pages outside of your forums folder are not displaying correctly this indicates its a server related issue, PLEASE dont accuse us of somthing not working when it is clearly a server related issue.

[Wordplay]

i strongly appologize. but only pages that ran php that was directly linked to the board didn't work, all the other pages did work, that's why i figured it could have only have to do with the hack, luckily it solved it self, so i figure maybe the mysql messed up puttign together the tables or somethin.

if you like i can just edit out the text.
