• Shoutbox permanently stuck on "Loading..." — The install routine was silently failing because [inline]PLUGINLIBRARY[/inline] was an undefined constant. That meant [inline]is_installed()[/inline], [inline]install()[/inline], and [inline]activate()[/inline] all called [inline]file_exists(PLUGINLIBRARY)[/inline] and bailed out before the [inline]inferno_shout[/inline] and [inline]inferno_user[/inline] database tables were ever created. Added the missing constant definition.
  
• Language substitution broken — MyBB 1.9 changed [inline]class_language::$phrases[/inline] to [inline]private[/inline], so the old [inline](array)$lang[/inline] cast gave mangled internal property names. Rewrote the substitution using [inline]preg_replace_callback[/inline] with [inline]$lang->$key[/inline] (which correctly invokes the [inline]__get()[/inline] magic method).
  
• PHP 8.2 strict mode warnings — [inline]$html[/inline] wasn't initialised before conditional assignment in [inline]gen_archive()[/inline], and [inline]is_scalar()[/inline] guards were missing where settings arrays were being passed as strings. Both fixed.
  
• Double-execution on hook fire — [inline]inferno_global[/inline] and [inline]inferno_inject_19[/inline] could both run on the same request. Added an [inline]$inferno_ob_active[/inline] flag to prevent that.
  
• 403 on inferno.js.php — MyBB 1.9 blocks direct browser access to everything under [inline]inc/[/inline] via .htaccess, so the shoutbox JS file was returning 403 Forbidden and the whole frontend was broken ([inline]inferno is not defined[/inline]). Resolved by adding [inline]inferno-js.php[/inline] to the web root — identical to the original but with the corrected [inline]global.php[/inline] path. Copy it alongside [inline]infernoshout.php[/inline].
  
• Injection point — Updated to target [inline]<div id="content">[/inline] instead of [inline]</header>[/inline], which correctly places the shoutbox before the forum listing inside the content wrapper on MyBB 1.9's DOM structure.
  

1. Upload and activate PluginLibrary first
   
2. Upload all Inferno files — including inferno-js.php to your web root (same folder as index.php)
   
3. Go to Admin → Plugins → Install & Activate Inferno Shoutbox
   
4. If you had a previous install: Uninstall first, then reinstall — the DB tables need to be recreated

Quote:Most plugins will come with their own documentation on where the files included should go! If the mod does not come with documentation and contains a single php file then that file should be uploaded to MyBB Root Folder/inc/plugins.

If the plugin still lacks documentation on where the files go, but there are directories such as jscripts, inc, or admin at the root of the plugin download’s folder, then upload the files within those directories to the respective folders of your MyBB installation.

extension.zip (plugin name.zip)

      |----- extension/ (plugin name dir as MyBB_ROOT)
