I am not sure how to proceed in the installation of the ShoutBox MOD [see: http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=59111] ... I've downloaded it, is about all.

Anybody install this? I can't even ascertain which files need to be uploaded ...

look into the readme.txt

run: dbs_shoutbox.asp in the admin db pannel

add: --> config.asp

search --> Dim mLev
add after the last line of Dim.....

Dim strShoutMaxMsg, strShoutEntries


search --> strVersion = Application(strCookieURL & "STRVERSION")
add after the last line of str.....

strShoutMaxMsg = Application(strCookieURL & "STRSHOUTMAXMSG")
strShoutEntries = Application(strCookieURL & "STRSHOUTENTRIES")



open --> admin_config_features.asp
ad somewhere you like (modificate to your design!)

<TR>
<TD>Shoutmessages:</TD>
<TD>
<select name="strShoutMaxMsg">
<% For ShoutMsg = 1 To 5 %>
<option value="<% = ShoutMsg %>"<% = chkSelect(strShoutMaxMsg,ShoutMsg) %>><% = ShoutMsg %></option>
<% Next %>
</select>
Msg. / 30 Sec.
</TD>

<TD>
<select name="strShoutEntries">
<% For ShoutEntries = 10 To 30 step 5 %>
<option value="<% = ShoutEntries %>"<% = chkSelect(strShoutEntries,ShoutEntries) %>><% = ShoutEntries %></option>
<% Next %>
</select>
Msg.
</TD>
</TR>



--> note: above it is pure HTML / asp code no response.write code !!!! if you use response.write then convert it or add at the beninning and at the and of my
code the asp tags --> %> and <%

the files are from my design you have to see into the source to edit to your design and modificate it
if there are some questions you can evertime ask me

OK - yes, that is just about exactly what the read me file says ... What about which files should be uploaded? Is it all the files in the .zip download? Any includes?

I have run the dbs file and edited config.asp & admin_config_features.asp. What should I do next?

upload these files and folders to your directory:

eg c:\wwwroot\forum --> there is for example your forum
upload folder css with main.css to --> c:\wwwroot\css
upload folder img with all files to to --> c:\wwwroot\img
upload folder js with all files to --> c:\wwwroot\js
upload files in folder page to --> c:\wwwroot\forum

after that edit the config.asp
and the admin_config_features.asp
(written in the readme)

to see the shoutbox:
put somewhere you like to see the link to --- <a href="shoutbox_box.asp">see the shoutbox</a>
or include the --> shoutbox_box.asp somewhere on your page you want to see it.

the design of the shoutbox is definied in the --> inc_page.asp
colors in the --> main.css
images in the folder /img

when you use a other design of your page you have to modify these files above

I just tried to install the Shoutbox MOD (currently running the imageforum2001 and portal mod... as referred to here. I was able to upload the dbs to the MOD admin and run. I received the finished and all tables were set accordingly.
I edited the specfied files config.asp and admin_config_features.asp.
Luckily I noted everything that I did as when I uploaded the other files to the root folder (the folder on my hard drive included) I received an error.

First I received the 'Page not found' error and then it was searching for the VB script related to
strShoutMaxMsg = Application(strCookieURL & "STRSHOUTMAXMSG")
strShoutEntries = Application(strCookieURL & "STRSHOUTENTRIES")

I've already put everything back to previous settings. I think the only thing that went wrong was...
eg c:\wwwroot\forum --> there is for example your forum
upload folder css with main.css to --> c:\wwwroot\css
upload folder img with all files to to --> c:\wwwroot\img
upload folder js with all files to --> c:\wwwroot\js
upload files in folder page to --> c:\wwwroot\forum

Please advise if the actual folder on my hard drive was to be uploaded into the specified directories. If there is no /js/ or /img/ directory am I suppose to create one? Or do I place the js files in the javascript folder and the img files in the images folder under my ../forum/images ??
Thanks in advance for your response.

you have to create the folders if they do not exist

--> if your forum files are in this folder on your webserver
for example c:\wwwroot\your_page_name\forum

so your have to create following folders
--> css | img | js
these folders have to be near your forum directory on the server
for example
forum files - c:\wwwroot\your_page_name\forum
java files -- c:\wwwroot\your_page_name\js
img files --- c:\wwwroot\your_page_name\img
css files --- c:\wwwroot\your_page_name\css

copy the files into the metioned directorys
and the shoutbox files mentioned in the readme into your forum directory
( shoutbox_box.asp and shoutbox_entries.asp )

if you have any further probs. post it or wait one or two month but i have improved the shoutbox code and i will
write it to the snitz design (without design!!!) but it takes time...
