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 got this when running the update:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Invalid SQL: INSERT INTO phrase (phraseid, languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) VALUES (NULL, '0', 'setting_shoutbox_hierarchymode_title', 'Hierarchy Mode?', '5000')
mysql error: Duplicate entry 'setting_shoutbox_hierarchymode_title-0-5000' for key 2

mysql error number: 1062

Re-download and re-upload includes/hackfunctions_b1.php and refresh. Not sure why I didn't get that error.

[rinkrat]

Ohh, that got me almost to the end but I got this

Warning: halt(./includes/functions_log_error.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /www/htdocs/bbs/includes/db_mysql.php on line 389

Warning: halt(): Failed opening './includes/functions_log_error.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /www/htdocs/bbs/includes/db_mysql.php on line 389



Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Invalid SQL: UPDATE phrase SET phrasetypeid=716 WHERE phrasetypeid=153
mysql error: Duplicate entry 'shoutbox_shoutbox_leaderboard-0-716' for key 2

mysql error number: 1062

This came right after it updated the styles, I thought it was nearly finished!

[Link14716]

Re-download and re-upload install/hacks/Shoutbox_Hack/upgrade_queries.php.

Sorry.

[rinkrat]

No probs, glad to help.

Shoutbox Hack: Queries Ran!



On now I click the templates editing link and it says

When finished editing the needed files/templates, click here to complete the installation. -->

No readme files found.

[Link14716]

That is normal, just continue through. If there were edits to do, it would display a link which opens up in the iframe below it.

Looks like it finished ok! Thanks for the quick responses (and the great hack). Hopefully the others will not get any errors now,

Oh yeah! all the shouts are in much more compact order and you can shout right from the forumhome page with no intermediate page. Sweet!! Looks great!!

All the screenshots are resolving to http://attachment.php/.... for me.
