#3380
[announce] SB_1.17, SB_1.21 and AdvSB_1.21 released.

Major fix for 1.17:
Security fix affecting deletion and banning -- recommended update for all 1.16 users

Major fixes for 1.21:
Removed dependencies on the Behaviour, Prototype and domFunction libraries.
Fixed a few bugs in form submission and flood control.
Fixed a bug that broke Whos Online (reported by bocco83).
Fixed security bug
Added postgroup colors

1.21 and 1.17 should both upgrade over 1.20 and 1.16 installations. If there are any problems in upgrading, try a manual install (use upgrade-from-1.20.xml as a reference).

@ nneonneo, got it sorted, was a TP block permission that wasn't set.

I'm a glutton for punishment.  :P

I tried to uninstall 1.20 so I could install 1.21. The uninstall failed (I figured it was due to my many manual edits) so I continued the uninstall, then manually removed any remaining traces of the shoutbox. However, when I try to install the newest version, it says the old one is still installed. I am sure it is something small and overlooked, but I need some help finding it.  ;D

1.21 has an upgrader attached :(

If you've previously upgraded, the shoutbox may still appear installed. On SMF 1.1.5, this is easy to fix: just remove all shoutbox entries in Packages/installed.list. On SMF 2.0, you have to edit the log_packages table in the database and remove every entry which is the shoutbox, or just set its installed state to 0:
DELETE FROM {$db_prefix}_log_packages WHERE package_id='nneonneo:yshoutforsmf'
or
UPDATE {$db_prefix}_log_packages SET install_state=0 WHERE package_id='nneonneo:yshoutforsmf'

Note that I am not an SQL expert, so please do backup your DB just in case something terrible happens...

I was already digging around in the database, removing all SB entries. Refreshed the package manager and AdvSB1.21 will now install. Thanks again nneonneo.

OK. The install went fine, but now I can't shout (admin) and none of the icons work (history, sound, smiley, etc). The history and extended history icons point to non-existing files/locations? and the sound and smiley icons just do nothing. Sorry to keep bugging you over what is probably silly little details, but I can not stand be without the shoutbox.  :D

Guests should be able to view and post, but here is a test account, just in case:

username: test
password: tester123

EDIT: It displays correctly in both FF2 and IE7, but in Opera 9.5, it displays the entire website (including a secondary shoutbox) inside the shoutbox.

when ive looked at some the links some people have put up and see there shoutbox i see that it coontained in a border and each message is seperated by a line and making it clear and easily read - is there a tweak to make this happen?

[unplugged]

@bullbreedluverz

Those are features of the AdvSB series, the newest being 1.21.

oh, fort it might be, i did try installing the AdvSB 1.20 but recieved this message

Some of the files the package manager needs to modify are not writable. This needs to be changed by logging into FTP and using it to chmod or create the files and folders. Your FTP information may be temporarily cached for proper operation of the package manager.

and when i clicked the proceed button to do this recieved the following error

530 Login authentication failed

any ideas?

[unplugged]

You need to be sure your username and password for your host are correct (double check spelling) and the host information such as server name is correct.

@SunKing: Oops, I forgot to mention I changed the <head> code...again...

The correct head code should be posted on the main mod page.

EDIT: works for me in Opera 9.5...

What do you mean that's because each theme is coded differently? How do I add it to another theme?

Well, that <head> code change was apparently the root of all of the problems.  :D
The only thing that isn't quite right is the smileys stay at the bottom even after clicking the icon. But that'll get worked out eventually! Many many thanks!

EDIT: Works again in Opera 9.5 too.

nneonneo,

Do you recommend we uninstall previous versions of your mod as well as un-doing edits in custom themes?
SMF 2.0.2

bullbreedluverz

@ Sunking - well i dont know whats wrong as im putting in my username and password and it keeps saying the same theing - thanks anyway

[unplugged]

@nneonneo

I've worked out the smiley issue. I forgot to put a call to the animatedcollapse.js back in the index.template.php. All works perfectly, as expected.

@bullbreedluverz

Sorry to hear that. You may want to contact your host to see if they can help you through it.  :-\

I had the same problem.  Try installing the basic version of this mod instead or just before the advanced version.  When I switched to basic, this problem went away.
SMF 2.0.2

bullbreedluverz

to be honest and no offence to nneonneo i put the basic version on and i thought it made my forum look a bit scruffy but the AdvSB look a lot more refined and blends in with peoples themes much better

chunkster

what would like to know is why some addons are not added as standard like smileys and scrollbar
