Thanks to the alpha testers - Allen, Chris, Dave2 and Chuck!

Shoutbox works good except that mine is complaining about /noncgi/delshout.gif missing on IE and Opera. I'm snagging a graphic to stick in there, but you should probably put a note in there that this file is required.

Yes, noncgi/delshout.gif is a required graphic for the delete button of admins/mods.

Ok...I admit I am confused...

I am unclear as to how I am adding this hack...

Is it all just one file called ubbshoutbox.cgi?

I'm pretty sure you upload ubbshoutbox.cgi in the appropiate folder and then call it onto your web page via SSI etc. whatever method you must use.

*Disappears*

Yes, what LD said, except that it's "ubb_shoutbox.cgi" ... and that you should upload it to cgi-bin folder of your UBB.

DO I upload the entire text or after the explanation...

It's not making any sense to me

You rename "ubb_shoutbox64.txt" to "ubb_shoutbox.cgi", and upload it to your cgi-bin directory

I dide what was instructed, placed the javascript version in my footer and still do not see a thing...

Am I missing something?

1. "http://www.sourceonline.com/cgi-bin/ubb_shoutbox.cgi?s=javascript" - don't you mean djsourceonline?

2. When I try to access your shoutbox manually, I get a permission error... CHMOD it to 755 if it's UNIX, if not tell your server admin to change its mode to make it executeable.

I got it LK thank you for your patience with me!

Very nice Gizzy... works perfectly. Thanks to you and the others who worked on this.

A question... it allows unregistered or unlogged in members to post... how can I prevent this or is it possible?

Also, is there a way to refresh it automatically?

Thanks again...

WL, in ubb_shoutbox.cgi file there is [code][/code]Change "1" to "0".

to refresh it automatically - it's possible, but then it will also refresh the line where you type the text and it might be really annoying . The best thing to do is to use jgeoff's modification to this mod - http://www.thegodfathertrilogy.net/chatbox_howto.txt

LK, thanks... after I actually read thru the code I saw that... I have removed my head from my tail now. Thanks for the reply and your patience for dumb questions

What happened to the posts about Chatbox?

Were they deleted?

They're in the topic in 6.3 forum

Hi,

I've tried to use it, but it doesn't work the same way as it does on his site.

Appereantly some perl code was changed as well.

Could i get this extra mod?

There are some small differences in ubb_shoutbox.cgi such as removing the textbox...

I can see that this part was removed:
[code][/code]But what more???
After a refress the shoutbox2 does get messed up.

No workie on IIS boxes:
