This shoutbox completely needs no database at all. It uses a text file as its database. I have created it since I realised that I would need one for my own. Before that, I used the free shoutbox service at
http://www.shoutboxes.com from which I adopted the idea. I started with a free tutorial on the internet which was really really basic and simple.
You can download, unrar and enjoy it straight away as well as using it with
phpwcms as a mod. I don't know if this is considered as a mod but it does something different to the orginial copy of phpwcms. It is my little contribution to phpwcms community. This mod will add a shoutbox into your phpwcms site using phpwcms custom replacement tag.
If you would not mind, please let me know the website that you use this shoutbox. Put a link in to my shoutbox so that others can have different live demos of this shoutbox.
