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.

There is 2 problems with this hack and they are in field list. shoutmaxdaily and shouthierarchy are unknown colomn in field list. Is there a way to get these working ?

These queries wont run from hack installer so is there a way to run them manually ?

$query['new'][] = 'ALTER TABLE '.TABLE_PREFIX.'usergroup 
				   ADD `shoutboxpermissions` INT(10) UNSIGNED DEFAULT \'0\' NOT NULL,
				   ADD `shouthierarchy` TINYINT(5) UNSIGNED DEFAULT \'0\' NOT NULL,
				   ADD `shoutmaxdaily` TINYINT(5)    UNSIGNED DEFAULT \'0\' NOT NULL';

$query['new'][] = 'UPDATE '.TABLE_PREFIX.'usergroup SET shoutboxpermissions=\'1023\', shouthierarchy=\'1\' WHERE usergroupid=\'6\'';
$query['new'][] = 'UPDATE '.TABLE_PREFIX.'usergroup SET shoutboxpermissions=\'895\', shouthierarchy=\'2\' WHERE usergroupid=\'5\'';
$query['new'][] = 'UPDATE '.TABLE_PREFIX.'usergroup SET shoutboxpermissions=\'879\', shouthierarchy=\'3\' WHERE usergroupid=\'7\'';
$query['new'][] = 'UPDATE '.TABLE_PREFIX.'usergroup SET shoutboxpermissions=\'15\', shouthierarchy=\'4\' WHERE usergroupid=\'2\'';
$query['new'][] = 'UPDATE '.TABLE_PREFIX.'usergroup SET shoutboxpermissions=\'1\', shouthierarchy=\'6\' WHERE usergroupid=\'4\'';
$query['new'][] = 'UPDATE '.TABLE_PREFIX.'usergroup SET shoutboxpermissions=\'1\', shouthierarchy=\'5\' WHERE usergroupid=\'3\'';
$query['new'][] = 'UPDATE '.TABLE_PREFIX.'usergroup SET shoutboxpermissions=\'1\', shouthierarchy=\'0\' WHERE usergroupid=\'1\'';

Does anyone have a working copy of this on 3.0.7?

[Polo]

I do

[Trana]

Were you able to install straight from the files or did you need to edit anything?

I installed this, and for some odd reason, when you click on a post in the forums, it doesn't take you there at all. It just stays there, how do I fix this?
