[DBTech] vBShout v6 (vB3) [AJAX]

[kickflip]

After upgrading to 6.0.4, the chat is stuck on Loading....everything is uploaded and chmod'd as it should.

It was an upgrade from 6.0.3, when I upgraded my vb 4 site, it went perfectly though. :)

[DragonByte Tech]

Please check Firefox' error console :)


Fillip

[kickflip]

not sure what i'm looking for there, here is the only mention I found for vbshout though.

Error: missing ; before statement

vbphrase['dbtech_vbshout_flagged_idle'] = "You are currently flagged as Idle. Click <a href="javascript://" onclick="%link%">here</a> to un-flag.";

[DragonByte Tech]

For some reason character escaping isn't working for your site.

If you edit the phrase in question and manually apply \ in front of the " in the phrase text then it should work :)


Fillip

[kickflip]

That doesn't seem to work, unless I did it wrong. Should it look like this:

You are currently flagged as Idle. Click <a href=\"javascript://" onclick="%link%">here</a> to un-flag.

I have to head to work now, but I'll try again later when I get home.

[DragonByte Tech]

Try this:
You are currently flagged as Idle. Click <a href=\"javascript://\" onclick=\"%link%\">here</a> to un-flag.


Fillip

[kickflip]

When I used your code, this is the new error in FF...still just says Loading... btw.

It looks like it added and extra \.

[DragonByte Tech]

I'll need to see your actual URL and have the SB enabled for guests in order to diagnose this further.

By the way, why hide your URL? Surely driving more traffic to your site is a good thing...?

Fillip

[kickflip]

I got it to work by reverting one of the shoutbox templates that I had customized.

As for the URL, I just did it that way instead of the xxxxx.com thing other people do.

[DragonByte Tech]

I dunno why people do that either, is your website secret? :p

vBShout v6.0.5:
Fix: Work-around for the "broken characters" some people were experiencing after upgrading to vBShout 6.x
Change: Changed the content type for the data sent back to the server to application/json - this should also mean less confusing error messages.

Fillip u need to read your PM asap

my site just got hacked because of a vulnerability in the db-tech shout and they will probably be targeting other vb forums now.

I also can no longer log into the db website through facebook.

Edit: I realised u released a security fix. But i have to RENEW MY LISECNESE and pay double just to get it fixed? I can only download the old version, which has the securty expoit which caused my site to be hacked

Is there something im missing because this is clearly wrong.

[DragonByte Tech]

Fillip u need to read your PM asap

my site just got hacked because of a vulnerability in the db-tech shout and they will probably be targeting other vb forums now.

I also can no longer log into the db website through facebook.

We notified people of this via vb.org and DBTech, and provided a fix within a couple of hours of the exploit going public. A notice about it was also posted on vbulletin.com

The fix has been on vb.org since the vulnerability was made public.

https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php/398396-Security-Vulnerability-found-in-Popular-Addon-vBShout

http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/f77/vbshout-v6-0-4-security-release-6831/#post39342

You should ALWAYS try to keep your mods up to date for this reason.

Iain

[cowcowcow]

well its only been 2 days. im not angry at all about that, its my responsibility to keep up to date with thats going on.

What im angry about is u providing a faulty product which has damaged my server. and even after that not providing a fix and asking me to PAY for it. for instance vbulletin ALWAYS provides security fixes if their product was faulty to begin with.

This is the most absolute basic expectation and i cant believe ure going to make me pay an addiitonal $44.95 instead of providing the fix for the security flaw, after it caused my server to be hacked.


Vbulletin - products will still be eligible for patches for known Security Vulnerabilities until it is determined that there is insufficient usage

Anyway we just compared the lite version 6.0.3 and 6.0.4 to find the difference and we had already addressed it, it was a simple fix which is why this is so remarkable because it is pretty irresponsible to have such a security flaw (AND A SIMPLE ONE) only be fixed for the present version... you should at least give instructions for what is broken for everyone else

You will notice that there is a "Until it is determined that there is insufficient usage" qualifier there for vBulletin versions - what this means is they do NOT go back and apply the update to EVERY version, only to versions they have determined a certain percentage of users are on - usually this is only the LATEST version of the product branch.

That is the same situation for us - the vast majority of our users are able to access the latest version, and those who aren't are spread over so many versions it would be impossible to update them all.

It is standard practice to require users to stay up to date with updates for software to receive updates and fixes, including security fixes. This goes for the majority of software, especially for small companies such as ours.

We have put the fix we added in the news thread for the security issue for the few users in the same situation as you, but please note we obviously cannot guarantee that fix will work on older versions and you continue to use them at your own risk.

No software is ever completely secure or bug-free, you should be aware that by deliberately running out of date software you will always be running that risk, just like people still running version 3.0 or 3.5 of vBulletin for instance.

You can see an example of vBulletins policy here: https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php/383720-vBulletin-Security-Patch-for-vB-4-1-4-and-vB-3-8-7-Low-Risk-quot-phishing-quot-patch

You will notice they did not update vB 4.0.1, 4.0.2, 4.0.3 etc, only the latest versions of the 4.X and 3.X series. This is despite the vulnerability being in all versions of vBulletin 3.X and 4.X

Iain

[Megareus Rex]

I just upgraded to the latest version, and I have a problem now. Every few seconds, when my browser is on the page with the shoutbox, it lags for a moment, bogging down anything I'm doing in the browser. Something in the update apparently isn't well optimized, or is causing a lot more of a load on my browser (IE9) than the older version of this shoutbox. (5.4.7, I think? something like that)

Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

[DragonByte Tech]

If you have the IE7 Compatibility Header turned on in vBulletin Options, try turning that off :)


Fillip

[Megareus Rex]

If you have the IE7 Compatibility Header turned on in vBulletin Options, try turning that off :)


Fillip

Yeah, they were turned on, and turning it off seems to have fixed that.

Although there's still a bit of lag when the shoutbox updates on IE9. Enough to disrupt scrolling or choosing from a dropdown menu. Any other ideas of what can be done to optimize it further? Any other vB settings that could be causing it on just IE?

[DragonByte Tech]

Not to my knowledge, unfortunately :(

[LouiseWilson]

Hello,
I'm not getting the Mod to show at all

I've tried
adding $show[vbshout_instance1] for custom view all permissions are correct
Tested on different browsers also

However adding the Cyb - ChatBox as a test, it shows
I wouldn't usually bring this up but I'm interested in the pro version and wanted to test it first

[DragonByte Tech]

In Instance Management, does the After Navbar option work? The other option doesn't work on vB3 due to lack of hooks, mind.

Fillip

[Goomzee]

Fillip

Yes the nav bar option does not work, however it is a custom template I've created
Just wondering what template does it try to put its self IE FORMHOME ?
as this template is identical to the default, apart from a few added customizations, and I also removed the custom stuff to test which is still a no go.

I've looked at the following so far
Not the headerinclude
Not the header
Not FORUMHOME

Disabled all mods to test

[DragonByte Tech]

ErrorThat has not been an issue in this mod since the early stages of the 5.4 branch. Please update to the latest version of vBShout and the AME library :)

Yes the nav bar option does not work, however it is a custom template I've created
Just wondering what template does it try to put its self IE FORMHOME ?
as this template is identical to the default, apart from a few added customizations.By default, vBShout places itself on the index page via the $ad_location['ad_navbar_below'] template hook. Please ensure this hook exists in your template.

To put vBShout in a custom location, do the following:


Step 1: AdminCP -> DBTech - vBShout-> Instance Management -> [Edit].

Step 2: Change the Auto-Display Shoutbox setting to Disabled.

Step 3: Write down the the Varname setting. For the default shoutbox, it's instance1. The rest of this guide will assume you replace instance1 with the actual Varname if it is different.

Step 4: Enter the Style Manager and add either {vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1} (vB4) or {$show[vbshout_instance1]} (vB3) to the templates you wish the shoutbox to appear in.


Follow these steps as described and you will have total control over the position of the Shoutbox.
Please note that some locations may not work as intended on vBulletin 3.8, and also note that it is not designed to go in the Forum Blocks side-bar (vBulletin 4).

Also note that inserting it into the header template does not work, as that template is rendered too soon for vBShout to hook into. The navbar template is a global template that is suitable for vBShout, if you want it to appear on all pages.



Fillip

after disable from step and when i try to save it's show error again and not save the step 2

Fillip

[Goomzee]

i already update using shoutbox and where can i find AME library

[LouiseWilson]

Thanks Fillip
Was just missing a hook

A suggestion or an idea regards the Sticky's
Would you consider alternating ones ie you have 4 sticky's but they update at certain intervals

[DragonByte Tech]

If you pop it in a suggestion thread in the vBShout forum over at our support forums, we'll have it logged for when the time comes to plan a feature update :)


Fillip

[Fluke667]

When I click on Notifications in the admin cp, it tells me "Invalid action."

Whats the Problem? I have vBShout v5.4.8

[DragonByte Tech]

You didn't follow the instructions in the 5.4.0 Upgrade Notes :)


Fillip

[Goomzee]

i already update using shoutbox and where can i find AME library

reply my above post

[DragonByte Tech]

You installed it, so you would know :)

You have some mod that declares that function, which is the broken mod.


Fillip

[Goomzee]

which mod should i disable tell me

[Pandemikk]

Either update your AME mod or disable it. This isn't the thread for AME support.

[Goomzee]

I disable AME - The Automatic Media Embeder but this is still same

[DragonByte Tech]

Then there is another mod you have that deals with Video BBCode, I am sadly unable to tell you which one :(


Fillip

[Goomzee]

if i show you list of my all mods then will you confirm should i disable and then shout works fine

[DragonByte Tech]

I doubt it, but you can post it and I can guess :)

Just installed this mod... when I go to post a new thread now, I get a page not found after I click submit. Something tells me I'm in trouble here. I see the threads on the forumdisplay. When I click on it to open it I get a Page Not Found error. I tried uninstalling it and it doesn't fix it. I can reply to threads just fine. This only happens when trying to post a new thread.

Any idea what might have happened here?

I've a forum where users only can see their own threads (not others).
On shoutbox all users can see when somebody replies a thread that they can't see.

This it's wrong, right? Can be fixed?

Thanks in advance

That cannot be fixed, sorry :(

vBShout v6.1.0

Improved Shout Templates

Shout templates (for Shouts, /me, PMs and System Messages) are loaded from the main Shoutbox template

Uses jQuery Templates to achieve the same functionality of the old rendered templates
Offers greater customisation options without worrying about breaking fragile JavaScript code


Improved JavaScript Performance

Leverages more advanced jQuery usage to reduce the time it takes to perform JavaScript operations
Takes up less browser memory as less time is needed to search for the elements in question


Improved Context Menu

Context Menu is always enabled for every user, offering the same quick links to member profiles and username auto-fill
Zero performance impact from using it - no longer increases bandwidth usage / data transferred with each AJAX request
Uses jQuery Templates to achieve the same functionality of the old rendered templates
Offers greater customisation options without worrying about breaking fragile JavaScript code


(vB3) Modern Shoutbox Editor Controls

Colour Picker now uses the same "modern" look as the vB4 version of the mod
Font Face Picker now uses the same "modern" look as the vB4 version of the mod
Font Size Picker now uses the same "modern" look as the vB4 version of the mod
CSS-based editor controls rather than table-based


(vB3) CSS Loader

File loader that outputs the 3 CSS files from templates
Browser cacheable
Improves crawlability


General / Other

Fix: Display Order in the Instance Management screen was using the wrong input type.
Fix: Opening lots of context menus without reloading the page would add "infinite HTML" to the page over time, taking up unneeded memory
Change: Improved RTL support
Change: Removed the ability to turn off the Context Menu, to eliminate confusion

[Nucleus1]

Hello!

Could anyone please help me and let me know how to install this shoutbox?
I havent done any changes to my forum in ages, and I can´t remember how to install addons and plugins.
I downloaded the zip, and unzipped to a lokal folder.
Do I have to move some of the content in the folders to my server by using FTP, or do I import everything from my admin CP?

Sorry for these silly questions, but I could not find find any "how to do" tutorial.

Thanks in advance, and cheers from Sweden :-)

[DragonByte Tech]

Install instructions are in the readme file or here is a c/p.

1. Upload all files from the "upload" folder to your forums directory.

2. CHMOD the /dbtech/vbshout/aop folder to 0777

3. Import the product-dbtech_vbshout.xml file from the "XML" folder at AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products ->
Add/Import Product

4. That's it! You can start editing settings and setting usergroup permissions.

I'm sorry I didn't explain myself very well. The default location for vBShout is only accessible from the forum list view. Most of our users only use the New Posts (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/search.php?do=getnew) link on the nav bar when viewing our forum.

I wanted to vBShout to be visible when you click on New Posts (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/search.php?do=getnew) and I don't know how to do that.

I think it might be part of the header template?

Here is a screenshot of what we were looking for. When users click Today's Posts, or New Post's they also want to too see the Shoutbox. I think we had that with the old shoutbox (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=147346) but I forgot the placement.

[Xanlamin]

I am having an issue where it is not saving the permission set for the usergroups. when I set them and click save it goes right back to the ones that where checked before hand. Any ideas on this?

I can save the initial settings, but not the usergroup settings.

[Xanlamin]

I have added the following to php.ini

max_input_vars = 10000
suhosin.pot.max_vars = 10000
suhosin.request.max_vars = 10000

This did get rid of the notice I had in the settings for vbshout at the top. but I still can not adjust my usergroups, the settings still keep going back to the default ones and will not let me change them.

[DragonByte Tech]

The correct variable is suhosin.post.max_vars - try that :)

Hello Fillip,

Thank you for creating such a wonderful plugin. I have tried vBShout for vB4 and it has worked fine but having issues on 3.8.x. See below:

I have tried to install vBShout 6.2.5 on vBulletin 3.8.7 and setup completes fine. However, when I go to instance management, no changes made are saved. Whenever, I click save button, a blank page is rendered with no content. There is no error or anything displayed any where in the logs as well.

Can you please help me out?

I installed the lite version to test it out. The basic chat books works on http://energeticforum.com but according to the instructions, there should be a management section in the admin CP, but there is not. In the options, there is the general settings, but there is no: "DBTech - vBShout" option in the left column. Is there supposed to be or is that only for the pro version?

The lite version is described to be able to post something in the chatbox when a new post is created, etc... but there are no options for this that I can find.

Great mod, thank you.
I use it on custom vbulletin page, but noticed that chat javascript and css are included in header on "non chat" pages as well (home, threads, forums..etc).
Do you have any hint how to disable it on all vbulletin page except custom created page/template where I use chat?

That's not possible at this time, sorry.

Thanks Fillip. :)

Sorry about that, the importer isn't compatible with the latest version. If you re-post this issue @ www.dragonbyte-tech.com, we'll look into getting it fixed :)

Hi,

I've downloaded the plugin today and installed it on a forum running 3.8.6 but am receiving the error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home/pesgam/public_html/dbtech/vbshout/includes/global.php on line 77

I tried completely uninstalling, re-downloading and reinstalling but have the exact same issue. Any ideas?

[DragonByte Tech]

Hi there,

Could you please upgrade your version of PHP to 5.4 or newer? Older versions of PHP are no longer supported by The PHP Group and should not be used as they have potential security vulnerabilities.

Thanks!

I'm using your latest vBShout for vB3.8.9 PL1 but I have this issue: http://prnt.sc/d2cb23 it worked fine the first time I installed it, however after doing a hard refresh on my browser (Google chrome) it became like that...
I did try to disable it and then enable it, but that didn't work, so I uninstalled and installed over 3 times and still not working..

It happens on all styles (even default one) after the hard refresh. (CTRL + F5)

It happens on all styles (even default one) after the hard refresh. (CTRL + F5)That can happen if you have the Force IE mode (or something like that) enabled in vB3's settings, and you're using a more modern version of IE.

I can't find it, this is what I have: http://prntscr.com/d35s7o
I played with 'Send Internet Explorer 7 Compatibility Header' Yes and No but results are still the same.

Thanks for help tho, any other suggestions?

[DragonByte Tech]

In that case I need an FTP and AdminCP account to look into it further.

I sadly cannot provide that because I had hired someone to make sure only I can access the server root/ftp whatever since my website is the target of a crapload of hackers it will take for him until monday to get it done (since he doesn't work on weekends or weekdays 6pm+).

However, I can provide you with anything you want (such as logs, etc).

I really love how fast you reply :), if we get it working I might upgrade to pro.

[DragonByte Tech]

Sadly this is not something I can diagnose remotely so we'll have to wait for Monday then :)

This is very sad, everyday I wait, I'm losing money. :(

I thought CloudFlare was the issue, but also that is not the issue.
It's very weird, I haven't edited any file/template.

[JamesStPattrick]

The thing that confuses me is that it worked fine the first time I installed it, then I did a hard refresh to get my logo to update and boom it started like that..

The text colors / font options menu are expanded when I access the forum and when I move from forumhome and back. I'd prefer they were not. Finally, can I change the font color on the timestamp? Thank you!

The alternating colors option isn't working, any ideas? Again, thanks.

Thanks Fillip, that was it:up:. Had duplicate files dated back to 2010 for cpnav_vbshout.xml. Cleaned out the hooks also. Much appreciated.
Can you address my other questions? Again, thank you!

Finally, can I change the font color on the timestamp? Thank you!This is controlled by the rest of the colour options.

The alternating colors option isn't working, any ideas? Again, thanks.Have you tested this in a default (unmodified) style?


Fillip

[keharris53]

"I don't understand this, sorry. Can you elaborate?"
The font and color menus are open, rather than closed, showing the expanded options when I log into the forum or move to a subforum and back to the forumhome page. In other words, within this reply I have text color options. I have to click the box to expand the color options. In my shoutbox, that box is already expanded the first time I log in.

"This is controlled by the rest of the colour options."
I've been looking in the files that control color options, but have been unable to locate the code that specifies the timestamp color. I have managed to change other background and popup menu colors.

"Have you tested this in a default (unmodified) style?"
I am using the default and the only modifications are related to color, style (rounded corners and shadows). No skins.

I really appreciate the quick response. Thank you!

I have managed to change other background and popup menu colors.Sorry, I mean that when you change colour of the shouts, the timestamp changes colour too. There is no separate colour for timestamps, IIRC.

I am using the default and the only modifications are related to color, style (rounded corners and shadows). No skins.Yeah, that's why I said "unmodified", since if you've customised the skin colours, that also potentially. affects the alternate colours in the Shoutbox :)

Specifically, the alt1 and alt2 StyleVars.


Fillip

[keharris53]

Thanks Fillip. Took care of the alternating colors issue in styles. The timestamp color shows in my vb excepting in the shoutbox. I'll look further into that to find whats effecting it. That's the only issue I have to resolve. I had the old Inferno Pro installed. So far I like this new shoutbox functionality. Though I can't move the editorbar up beside the input box, I did adjust the text input box dimension to the height I wanted and that works just fine.
Again, thanks for your assistance, much appreciated!

When I have my username set to visible mode in the forum and disallow invisible mode set to yes in the shoutbox, I appear offline in the shoutbox. When I set the disallow invisible mode to no, I appear as online in the shoutbox. It's almost like the shoutbox script is pointing to the opposite online/offline image from what it should be displaying. How do I correct this? Thanks!

If you allow users to use the Invisible mode in the Shoutbox, clicking the online/offline icon will turn it yellow and you will be invisible to other users (unless you shout, obviously everyone can read that).

If you do not allow users to use the Invisible mode, you will always be flagged as online when you are browsing the shoutbox.

The shoutbox' invisible mode is 100% unrelated to the forum's invisible mode.


Fillip

[keharris53]

Hello Fillip, the problem is that when I access the shoutbox it shows me offline when I have the "disallow invisible mode" set to yes. When I set it to no, it shows me online. Essentially, for me to be visible as active in the shoutbox, I have to set the "disallow invisible mode" to no, otherwise I will appear as offline even though I have not selected invisible mode in the shoutbox.

Essentially, for me to be visible as active in the shoutbox, I have to set the "disallow invisible mode" to no, otherwise I will appear as offline even though I have not selected invisible mode in the shoutbox.The online/offline indicator is 100% independent of the "disallow invisible mode" setting. That setting only controls whether someone can click the online/offline status to flag themselves invisible.

If the setting is set to yes and you make a shout, do you not get flagged as online?


Fillip

[keharris53]

No, it shows me as offline. I have to set the "disallow invisible mode" option to "no" to appear online.

[keharris53]

Yeah, I wouldn't have responded to my last either...
If I set the "disallow invisible mode" option to "yes" I don't appear online when inputing an entry. Other than this, I have no other issues with the box. It's working great.

vBShout v6.2.18:
Change: Updated the Notify JS code used in the Desktop Notifications

Fillip

[keharris53]

I have opted to allow invisible mode. If I set Disallow "Invisible Mode" to yes, then everybody who uses the shoutbox is shown as offline. The only way to show them as "online" is to allow users to toggle to invisible mode but not toggle to that mode in the shoutbox, if that makes sense. No problems.

[treki]

Nice Addon. 3 little problems:

- I have enabled only "Enable Shout Sound ", but every 2min the sound sounds without a new shout.
- Is it possible to set the imputfield below the shoutbox?
- It exist a german language file?

[XotelHotel]

Can I ask why i cant type anything in the shoutbox yet it installed and all the permissions are in place but it won't let me post what i am saying help please
