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.

i just installed this hack last night on my boards. i am running 3.0.7 and it wasn't entirely clear to me from the instructions on getting this set up right the first run through. But i did manage to get everything working perfectly.

so if any of you are having just simple installation questions or questions on where to find certain things, ask away. I can not, however, answer any parsing questions or file error messages as my installation was without any so i don't have any knowledge of remedies for those.

is the admin cp option there for you to edit users permission to not view the shout box? The problem I'm having is that, that's not there and anyone has permission to edit a post in it, even members not logged in.

Thank you, I had just about given up! Page 52, post #774

Editing in that this did work, but then I had trouble viewing what I was supposed to edit. I just happened to come across it by accident and when I finished the editing I really made a mess. I'll have to try this another day.

The shoutbox options are the last category in the vbulletin options. But permissions settings for the shoutbox are located underneath the usergroup manager.

Here is a pic from the shoutbox options under the usergroup manager.

I upgraded to 3.5 tonight and would like to remove this. I have deleted the files but still have a piece of what used to be this hack. Can someone point me in the right direction to remove this hack completely.

I know where it should be, but it isn't there.

Hey guys, i get the following error message after i click Done on the page (screenshot) attached in image

EDIT: I am running vB version 3.0.5

[Cueball]

Great hack! Just installed it, was the easiest hack I have ever installed.
One question though, how can I make it so the shoutbox is seen on all forums?

Thanks in advance

ah, then if that option box isn't even there, i'm assuming there was an error in the .php file edits. might want to go back and check to see if you skipped a step.

What is the exact error you recieve? No error, I don't have it installed but still have it showing up in my admin cp options and would like to remove it from there.
Where does the supposed error happen? In VBulletin options
What vB version are you running? 3.5

I would just like the uninstall queries to remove this from my database and I couldn't find it in this thread. Thanks
