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.

Thanks!

In shoutbox.php :

Find :

while ($shoutbox_post=$DB_site->fetch_array($shoutbox_posts)) {
			if ($tachyuser != in_coventry($shoutbox_post['userid'])) {
				if (($permissions['shoutboxpermissions'] & SHOUTCOVENTRY)) {
					$shout_tachygoestocoventry = 1;
				} elseif (!($permissions['shoutboxpermissions'] & SHOUTCOVENTRY)) {
					$screwyoucoventryshout = 1;
				}
			}
			$shoutbox_post_date = vbdate($vboptions['dateformat'], $shoutbox_post['time'], 1);
			$shoutbox_post_time = vbdate($vboptions['timeformat'], $shoutbox_post['time']);
			$shoutbox_post_text = $shoutbox_post['text'];
			// In case you have the /me code hack...
			$post['username'] = $shoutbox_post['username'];

Add below :

$shoutbox_post['username'] = "<a href='member.php?u=$shoutbox_post[userid]' target=\"_blank\">".$shoutbox_post['username']."</a>";

That will do the trick.

is there any way of changing where it says

"shoutbox- last 10 shouts" could i change it to Spam box-last 10 shouts?

[xtreme-mobile]

any one?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Try editing the 'shoutbox_forumhome_x_y_z' phrase.

I removed them from the DB and it installed ok, but the problem I have is the install readme does not load?

The page is blank so I dont know the edits it says "No readme files found"?

Uninstall your old shoutbox hack first, and UPGRADE before you get hacked into. (vB that is)

I uploaded the files and when I try to browse to hack_install.php I get the following error.

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in d:\Inetpub\Chocolate\install\his_fi les\hack_install_b3.php on line 30

Warning: main(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in d:\Inetpub\Chocolate\install\his_fi les\hack_install_b3.php on line 31

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in d:\Inetpub\Chocolate\install\his_fi les\hack_install_b3.php on line 31

Any idea why this is happening?
