Unzip the Folder name it shoutbox and upload it to the root folder of your web site
Make sure the file config.php has read and write permissions
You will need a MySql database and a username with all permissions
Open your browser and type in the address bar :
- www.yourdomain.com/shoutbox/instal.php
Fill in all the fields and run the installer. You've finished.
Delete 'install.php' after the installation.
Add at the very top of the web page where you want the SHoutbox the following
code:
<?php ob_start();?>
- it must be before anything on your page,even white space.
- This is for the Header already sent error.A tip,some html editors or text editor add a dot a the beginning of the page when you save the file,and that will cause a Header already sent error.
Add the following code where you want the rating to be in the page:
<?php
include " myDir/shoutbox.php";
ob_end_flush(); ?>
- That's it.you have your shoutbox working.
Administration
When MCshoutbox is been installed,type
www.yourdomain.com/shoutbox/admin.php
Login as administrator with your username and password
Now you can add or delete smilies
Or you can delete any shout or all.
Have a look at the way the file Example.php in the shoutbox folder, has been done.
