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.

HELP!

I accidently closed the install window after i did the file edits, and now i get database errors when trying to run the installer again

can someone tell me what url to go to?

Thanks

You need to go into the database via phpmyadmin and do the following:

go into table: language
Delete the field: phrasegroup_shoutbox

go into table: phrasetype
Delete the field id: 716 (do a search on it if you can't find it.)

delete table: shoutbox_posts

Go into table: usergroup
Delet the fields: shoutboxpermissions, shouthierarchy, shoutmaxdaily

go into table: user
delete the fileds: shouts, shoutbanned

Then retry your installer (backup your database first, just in case)

How would I go about making it display the top 10 shouts rather than the top 20?

[Blam Forumz]

is there anyway to limit the number of shouts a person does every second?

[Shadow Blaze]

ummm not that specific, there is a way to limit total posts by users though...
