Shoutbox Hack 1.04b
Mod Version: 1.04b, by GeekyDesigns

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.

On my Shoutbox Settings page in Admincp, I'm getting:

Parse error: parse error in /www/htdocs/bbs/includes/adminfunctions_options.php(96) : eval()'d code on line 1
If you set this to option #1, then users <b>can</b> edit other users with the same hierarchy rank (default). If you set it to option #2, then users <b>can not</b> edit users with the same hierarchy rank.
Show an Input Box/Textarea on Forumhome?

Parse error: parse error in /www/htdocs/bbs/includes/adminfunctions_options.php(96) : eval()'d code on line 1

at the top of the page and then the two selections:

Hierarchy Mode?
Show an Input Box/Textarea on Forumhome?

have no selection box on the side like the other options.

For those of you having this issue, re-download the zip and re-upload these two files:

install/hack_install_b1.php
install/hacks/Shoutbox_Hack/14/settings.php

Then in your browser, run http://www.yoursite.com/forums/install/hack_install.php?do=install&step=dosettings&hacks=Shoutbox_Hack&override=1

Let me know if that doesn't solve the problem.

[Mod] vBulletin 2 Style Shout Display

If you had the Shoutbox hack by TWTCommish for vBulletin 2.x.x installed, or seen it somewhere, you might notice that this version has a different layout for showing the shouts than the vB2 version.

Well, the new layout is definately nice, however, I still feel more attracted to the vB2 style of displaying the shout, mainly because I am used to it.

So here it is, you just have to replace your "shoutbox_shoutbits" template and you are done!. It will make your shoutbox look more like the old vBulletin 2 version of the shoutbox.

Instructions: Replace your shoutbox_shoutbits template with the attatched text file.
