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.

If anyone needs any help installing this hack on vBulletin v3.0.7, email me at "shadoxx428@gmail.com". There are some things you might need to do if you have errors while editing usergroup permissions and such. There are a few queries you need to do against the database. Also, if you're installing this hack over another or failed installation, and you get duplicate table errors while trying to install again, there are a few queries you need to run as well.

I really like this shoutbox and we have it installed on a couple of forums
My question is though are there any plans to make this compatable with vb3.5?
I know there is a shoutbox available for vb3.5 already but to me it lacks the features of this one

many thanks in advance

Running this hack on vb 3.0.7 and all seemed to go well on install (no error messages)
and the shoutbox appears to be running as it should. BUT i do seem to be missing a few features, soft/hard delete etc. (it is enabled in usergroup permissions)

also the shoutbox options dropdown dont work (nothing there when you drop it)

Im new to all this so forgive what might be newbie questions i have searched here for days and not found the answers.

Durring install you get the option to generate files. After selecting this it creates, templates.php phrases.php and settings.php if i click Save this file nothing appears to happen? am i missing something here or do i have to manually save these somewere ? if not were are they saved so i can check they are there.

again sorry for the newbie questions but any help with this would be nice

[ba3698]

I have this Shoutbox installed and it works fine in the default template, but doesn't work in another template I'm using.

Any ideas on how to get it to work?

[G-Unot]

Thanks everything looks good for now

[ThugTheLeet]

installed nicely
