ShoutPro™ 1.0 BETA 4 Build 2- Upgrading

Upgrading from BETA 1: Due to the numerous differences between BETA 1 and BETA 4 Build 2, upgrading from this version is not possible. We reccomend you delete your BETA 1 installation and do a normal BETA 4 Build 2 insatall.

Upgrading from BETA 2 Build 1 or 2 or BETA 3: In order to upgrade from one of these builds, please download the file http://www.shoutpro.com/downloads/ShoutProBETA4.zip and follow the instructions there to upgrade to BETA 4 Build 1. Then follow the instructions below for upgrading BETA 4 Build 1 to BETA 4 Build 2.

Upgrading from BETA 4 Build 1: BETA 4 Build 2 is fully compatible with BETA 4 Build 1. Follow these instructions to upgrade:
  1. Upload every file in this zip to your current shoutbox directory EXCEPT config.php and shouts.php. (You can keep the old shouts.php file.)
  2. Follow the instructions below to modify config.php for the new settings.
How to Modify config.php:
Find these two lines:
This file is config.php. Edit all the variables to customize ShoutPro(TM).
*/

After those two lines, add these:
$row_coloring = "on"; // Turns the alternating row colors on must be set to "on" for it to work. DEFAULT: "on".
$row_color1 = "#336699"; // Row 1 Color, so rows 1,3,5 etc will be this color all odd numbers. DEFAULT: "#336699".
$row_color2 = "#00538C"; // Row 2 Color, so rows 2,4,6 etc will be this color all even numbers. DEFAULT: "#00538C".
$badnamemessage = "Sorry, that name is banned from this shoutbox."; // Message to display if the name of the poster is in the .
$minlength = "10"; //The minimum length of a shout. Shouts shorter than this will generate an error. Set to "1" to disable.
$maxlength = "100"; //The maximum length of a shout. Shouts longer than this will generate an error. Set to "0" to disable.
$shoutboxname = "TestBox"; //The name of your shoutbox. Displayed in the title of the page and at the top if $displayname is set to "yes"
$displayname = "yes"; //Display $shoutboxname at the top of shoutbox.php and viewall.php? Set to "yes" or "no".
Modify these variables according to the descriptions to the right of them.

And Lastly...
  1. CHMOD the shoutbox folder 777 (make it readable, writable, and executable by all).
  2. CHMOD the folder "lists" inside the shoutbox folder 777 (make it readable, writable, and executable by all).
  3. CHMOD the file "lists/names.php" 666 (make it readable and writable by all). If problems arise CHMOD it 777 instead.
  4. CHMOD the file "shouts.php" 666 (make it readable and writable by all). If problems arise CHMOD it 777 instead.
  5. Open the file "shoutbox.php" in your browser. Try posting a few messages and see if it works. If it doesn't repeat the past few steps.
  6. That's it! ShoutPro™ should now be working correctly. If you have any questions just post on our message boards.
