Is there one for 6.1 or just 6.3?
Or cant I just put that cgi script on a index.html page right? It doesnt require hacking or modifying any of the UBB files right?

I think havoq's point is that he wants it for 6.1  1. It doesn't work with 6.1, though you can "fix" it by modifying some stuff. 2. You open the file in notepad and follow the instructions - upload to ubb_shoutbox.cgi, then use iframe, js or ssi, etc.

I cant get shoutbox to work as a standalone guys??
Im using the iframe code found in the txt file, I uploaded to my cgi-bin and chmod it. everytime it calls up it shows my UBB in the iframe menu, kinda, that says i must be registered to perform this action and it gives me a login and register button.
Even if i do login, it doesnt take me to no shoutbox!
let me know if u need a screenshot or something. I cant figure this out!

I had this same problem. Open ubb_shoutbox.cgi and make sure that you have this line code:
$viewunreg = 1; # allow unregistered users to view? (0 = no, 1 = yes)
set as shown here (not a 0), this will allow unregistered users to see the shoutbox. Then I would suggest this setting right above that one: code:
[qb]$unregpost = 0; # allow unregistered users to post? (0 = no, 1 = yes) LK, this is really an awesome mod, but it seems your default settings are backward. You have it set that unregistered people can post, but when they can't even see the damn thing. I look at it this way: give the unregistered people the power to see it, it may make them want to register. I know, I know, I'm really just being picky and I should be grateful to just be able to use it to begin with. Well, you *do* want it to be perfect, right?

I'm not using iframes, but to me it seems like you need to do a couple of things. Get rid of everything down to and then in the last line, replace "X" with a value like "100" and replace "Y" with a value like "300" I think it should look like this: <iframe src="http://www.thecentralword.com/cgi-bin/ubb_shoutbox.cgi?s=iframe" width="100" height="300"></iframe> But then again, I could be wrong. I am quite a newbie myself.

Actually, I tried adding just the above line in my code and it worked fine. But 100 is too narrow for X, try something between 150-175 I guess (I landed on 160).
In any case, I'm glad I tried that little experiment, as I was wondering why I couldn't get a horizontal scroll going with the SSI version. ;-)

I give. Did you try the SSI and the Javascript independently to see if they work?

1. It doesn't work with 6.1I think here's your answer. I feel stupid for not seeing this before.

Yeah, but look at the code in ubb_shoutbox.cgi # load modules
use UBBCGI qw(:cgi); # CGIPath/Modules/UBBCGI.pm
use UBBCGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser set_message); # CGIPath/Modules/UBBCGI/Carp.pm
require "vars_config.cgi";
require "$vars_config{CGIPath}/ubb_lib.cgi";
&RequireCode("$vars_config{CGIPath}/ubb_lib_filehandler.cgi");
&RequireCode("$vars_config{CGIPath}/ubb_lib_posting.cgi");
&RequireCode("$vars_config{CGIPath}/ubb_lib_files.cgi");
&RequireCode("$vars_config{CGIPath}/ubb_lib_filehandle.cgi");
$filehandle = new UBB::FileHandler(%vars_config);
&RequireCode("$vars_config{CGIPath}/ubb_lib_time.cgi");
&RequireCode("$vars_config{VariablesPath}/vars_time.cgi");
&RequireCode("$vars_config{VariablesPath}/vars_misc.cgi");
&RequireCode("$vars_config{VariablesPath}/vars_wordlets.cgi");
&RequireCode("$vars_config{VariablesPath}/vars_wordlets_date.cgi");
&RequireCode("$vars_config{VariablesPath}/vars_wordlets_err.cgi");
&RequireCode("$vars_config{VariablesPath}/vars_template_match.cgi"); All those &RequireCode tags are telling the server to go get code or information from other CGI files. Even if you are "using it as a stand-alone" the file is still calling information from other UBB files.
