i tried this, guess what happened? the shoutbox disappeared totally! :(

I hadnt tried that hack myself as its not something i want, but the code looks to be sound from what i can see - are you sure you did it exactly as it said ?

Step 1 is important
1) Change the hook location for 'vBShout [Template Alteration]' to: forumdisplay_complete

and in Step 2 basically you change the code to this :

$Used = 0;
$UsedArr = array();
$smilies = $db->query_read("
SELECT smilieid, smilietext, smiliepath, smilie.title,
imagecategory.title AS category
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "smilie AS smilie
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "imagecategory AS imagecategory USING(imagecategoryid)
ORDER BY imagecategory.displayorder, smilie.displayorder
");
$Smilie_Build = '';
$Total_Smilies = $db->num_rows($smilies);

if ($Total_Smilies > 0)
{
while ($emo = $db->fetch_array($smilies))
{
if ($vbulletin->options['shout_smilies_show'] > 0)
{
$Smilie_Cache[] = $emo;
}
else
{
$Smilie_Build .= '<a href="#" onclick="return sb_Smilie(\''.$emo['smilietext'].'\')"><img src="'.$emo['smiliepath'].'" alt="'.$emo['title'].'" border="0" /></a> ';
}
}

if ($vbulletin->options['shout_smilies_show'] > $Total_Smilies)
{
$vbulletin->options['shout_smilies_show'] = $Total_Smilies;
}

if ($vbulletin->options['shout_smilies_show'] > 0)
{
while ($Used < $vbulletin->options['shout_smilies_show'])
{
$GetEmo = $Total_Smilies;
$GetEmo = rand(0, $GetEmo);

if (!in_array($GetEmo, $UsedArr) && $Smilie_Cache[$GetEmo])
{
$Used++;
$GetEmo = $Smilie_Cache[$GetEmo];
$Smilie_Build .= '<a href="#" onclick="return sb_Smilie(\''.$GetEmo['smilietext'].'\')"><img src="'.$GetEmo['smiliepath'].'" alt="'.$GetEmo['title'].'" border="0" /></a> ';
}
}
}
}

}

if ($forumid ==1)
{
$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY'] = str_replace('$navbar', '$navbar' . ' $Shoutbox', $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY']);
}

I changed the forumid to 1 on my forums and it works well when i clicked on Main Forum - but it wont work if you dont change the hook location ... well done to lierduh for that edit !

This isnt my hack and im only helping a few people out if i can - to have both the parsed version and the wordwrap would take too much of my time to figure out as i would have to go through all the code , and since i dont need this for myself , i wont be doing that.

A possible quick solution to limit access to the archive and archive functions by user group :

There is a template called forumhome_vbshout that has as part of its contents a line with the following info: <a href='vbshout.php?{$session['sessionurl_q']}do=archive'>Shoutbox</a>

Perhaps one could possibly change that line so that it reads:

<if condition="can_moderate()">
<a href='vbshout.php?{$session['sessionurl_q']}do=archive'>Shoutbox</a>
<else />
Shoutbox
</if>

While that will not prevent a user from manually typing in the name of the link. It will prevent those without the knowledge of the links parameters from going further.

If one is a bit more interested in digging deeper one could, possibly, open the vbshout.php file and find:

if ($_GET['do'] == 'archive')
{

located around line 356/357

Then one could, possibly, insert below the line with the "{" and above the line "$navbits = array("vbshout.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "do=archive" => 'Archive');"

something like:

if (!in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(5,6,7,X1)))
{ print_no_permission();
exit();
}

Where 5=super moderators, 6=admin, 7=moderators, and (optional) X1= what ever other usergroup one wants to include (if one was not to use X1 then do remember to remove the "," as well).

Then it should be highly possible that one would, possibly, be able to highly limit the access to the Shoutbox, a most wonderful product!, archive functions.

Of course one would be on their in doing such things.:surprised:

i did this, but took it a step futher and only allowed 2 user id's access, one of whom was me. however, when i try to access it, it tells me that i dont have access.

Can we take a peek at the code you used so we can see if theres a bug in that ? Prob the easiest place to start. (and any other info we might need that you can supply like ur userid and error messages )

Does anybody see the possibility to disallow external Image linking within the Shoutbox ?

So only images from same Host, will be allowed, as for smilies for ex.

Have still some kiddies, which posting external images, which are stored on a Server/Folder which have .htaccess with AUTH activated, so always the authentication Popup is coming up on my Forum. Some will Enter his Username and Password, i'm sure.

th@nks
this should do:

//unallowed extensions
if (strpos($Shout['s_shout'],"gif")|strpos($Shout['s_shout'],"jpg")|strpos($Shout['s_shout'],"bmp"))
{
//allowed domain
$allow="http://forum.ubuntu.pl";

if (strpos($Shout['s_shout'],$allow)!=0)
{
$Shout['s_shout'] = str_replace("http://","", $Shout['s_shout']);
$Shout['s_shout'] = str_replace("www.","", $Shout['s_shout']);
}
}

please, don't ask "where?". I dont know :P Check my last posts about word wrap in this topic and add this code in a same place (and let us know where is it) :)

i did this, but took it a step futher and only allowed 2 user id's access, one of whom was me. however, when i try to access it, it tells me that i dont have access.

After some looking into this I found that I also was not allowed access after a few times of clicking on the Shoutbox link.

I've placed My correction below with an addition:

//use for individual access
//if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != X)
//use for usergroup access
if (!(in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], array(6,7))))
{ print_no_permission();
exit();
}

If you want to give access to only an individual then change
//if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != X)
to
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != X)

and add change if (!(in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], array(6,7))))
to
//if (!(in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], array(6,7))))

Then replace the X with the userid of the person you are giving shoutbox edit access.

Can i set the width somewhere?

05-18-2006, 07:35 PM

i love it... thanks for sharing!

questions:

-who can i change the backgroundcolor of the input box?

-and how do you managed the shouts... never delete or delete at 1 week or so?

-change the smilies from random to the first in row (1-10)

thanks

1. go to AdminCP - Styles and templates - Style manager - all style options (click go) - search for CSS Selector: textarea, .bginput about 1/2 way down the page - and use the box for background to select the colour u want for the input boxes.

2. theres a php file and a cron job available to automate the deletion of posts,you will need to search this thread for CRON JOB

3. I disabled smiles as they seem to use a lot of the resources on the server so i wont be doing this one , sorry.

in your styles and templates - find forumhome_vbshout, its in the ForumHome list of templates

in that look for

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<thead>
<tr>

and just change the width="100%" in that to 90% , or whatever seems to fit your forum best.

do you disabled smilies only for shoutbox or for the whole forum?

Smilies only increase the traffic, or am i wrong?

if ($_GET['do'] == 'latest')

$Shouts = $DB->query('

awesome! thanks for your help.

if i want multiple user ids, do i seperate by comma??

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != 1,2,3)

//use for miltiple individuals access
if (($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != X1) and ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != X2))
{ print_no_permission();
exit();
}

the above allows you to add two users

if you wanted to add three users you would need to add another "and" + operand:

like:

if (($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != X1) and ($vbulletin->userinfo
['userid'] != X2) and ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != X3))

if you were going to add more then three user ID's I would change the entire statement to:

if (!(in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], array(X,X1,X2,X3))))
{ print_no_permission();
exit();
}

replace X, X1, X2, X3 with the id number of the users you wish to allow edit accces

With new changes made by Brad, here is a new version of my french translation.

P.S : i'm quite surprised than an other translation have been created where as mine was available.

Information : the special caracters problem is still NOT solved when you edit a message ; for exemple when you edit "J'aime le beurre" it gives : "J".

Cool stuff...How do I access the archive section to show stats and delete shouts?

D.Ilyin

05-24-2006, 01:12 PM

61 pages, I tried to search but didn't find anything helpful...

My members cannnot edit their own shouts despite them having the button to do so and the ability to open their shout to edit it. When they try to save their edit, it simply does NOT save.

I'd like this enabled for my members, but don't see a way to do so. Can someone help?
Same problem.....
Members see "Edit" "Delete" buttons. The last works fine.
But "Edit" does not. Yes? they can push save button after edit but after refreshing message revert at the first appearence.

4 peoples report in this thread about that but solution not found :(.

Can someone help me?

Helloo everyone where can i find the BUTTON to delete all the shouts in one..

I need that...
I have now 30.000 shouts and can delete it only 1 by 1..

Is there no way to make a BUTTON to select all and delete this SHOUTS at ones..

Regards..

jerx

05-26-2006, 08:37 AM

There is no button, but a command. You have to type "/prune".

Please use the search in the future. This has been asked several times. vB has a great search function. In your case "delete shouts" would have returned 50 posts and the 17th has the same question and even the answer.

Hi,

I've a problem if I change the number of random smilies to show on the shoutbox.

With the default settings (0) I've no problems, but if i change the value i get smilies twice if I hit the smiley button. In my example I've changed 0 to 8 and it will show 2 or 3 same smilies from 8.

if ($vbulletin->options['shout_smilies_show'] > 0)
{
while ($Used < $vbulletin->options['shout_smilies_show'])
{
$GetEmo = $Total_Smilies;
$GetEmo = rand(0, $GetEmo);

if (!in_array($GetEmo, $UsedArr) && $Smilie_Cache[$GetEmo])
{
$Used++;
$GetEmo = $Smilie_Cache[$GetEmo];
$Smilie_Build .= '<a href="#" onclick="return sb_Smilie(\''.$GetEmo['smilietext'].'\')"><img src="'.$GetEmo['smiliepath'].'" alt="'.$GetEmo['title'].'" border="0" /></a> ';
}
}
}

I think the problem is the random line -> $GetEmo = rand(0, $GetEmo);

Is there somebody which can help to improve this, please?

Regards, Stoebi

Edit:
Solved. Many thx to Boothby from vbhacks-germany.com

I'm working on a Safari fix. Currently, I have it fixed but need to work out some bugs with the fix. I'll update tomorrow with the fix, probably.

/fixxy fixxy fixxy

EDIT:

Okay, I had some extra time on my hands and I have my board up and running with it fine (http://forums.advancedmn.com/index.php)

Here's how to fix it.

In your Admin panel
Styles & Templates -> Style Manager ->Click the drop down menu next to your style -> Select 'Main CSS" and click Go

At the very bottom, you'll see a box for "Additional CSS Definitions." Paste the following code in there:
/* *****Safari Fix****/
.clearfix:after {
content: ".";
display: block;
height: 0;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
}

/* Hides from IE-mac \*/
* html .clearfix {height: 1%;}
/* End hide from IE-mac */

/****** End Safari Fix ****/

Now, go to your Style Manager and find the forumhome_vbshout template. Open it up, and find the line...

<div id="vbshout" style="overflow:auto;height:{$vboptions['shout_box_height']}px;width:100%;">

</div>

Just before that segment, place this...

<div class="clearfix">

and just after that segment, put...

</div>

Should work fine for Safari users now.Can somebody tell me what this fix is suppose to fix when using Safari?

I have been trying to use the Shout Box at another form and it won't work properly in Safari...i.e., once you click "shout" nothing shows up until you either refresh or leave the forum page and come back. Then the shout shows up.

Is this what this is suppose to fix?

i think that this fix will fix the bad shoutbox window size.For example,if you ve setted the shoutbox window to be 100px,in Safari it shows 300px or more.In all other browsers works perfect.

Is this fix confirmed that it works?So the Shout Box basically doesn't work in Safari? I mean it doesn't register your message unless you refresh the browser. In that case it wouldn't be usable.

imported_predatorkill

05-30-2006, 12:59 AM

I really dont know if it needs to be refreshed to show the shouts.

I wasnt talking about manual refresh to see the shout,i was talking about the bad window behavior in Safari.:D

Kiros72

05-30-2006, 01:19 PM

No, posting in progress means simply that. I've gotten this message before while using Avant Browser and the only thing was that I couldn't make another shout until that message went away. Of course, that's understandable though :)

However, I'm having a problem with permissions. How would I go about setting permissions for the shout box so normal registered members will not be able to access the archive and edit/delete shouts? I was not aware that a registered member could do this until one reported it to me :?

Hi GuaRRand. I think I can help U :)

1- Now, turn on the debug mode simple by adding:

to your includes/config.php just before

/*================================================= =====================*\
|| ################################################## ##################

Read more here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=104933)

2- ACP -> vBulletin Options -> vBShout Options -> Add Setting:

Varname: shout_time_display
Setting Group: vBShout Options
Product: vBShout
Title: Display Time
Description: Display time on shout ?
Option Code: yesno
Data Validation Type: Boolean
Default: 1
Display Order: This is option 4 U :)
vBulletin Default: Yes

3- Open template forumhome_vbshout_shout, find

[{$Shout['time']}]

change to

<if condition="$vboptions[shout_time_display]">
[{$Shout['time']}]
</if>

Done. I hope U like it :)

Effects: vBShout 2.0.1 - vBShout fixed v3.zip

There is a mistake in the main XML installer.

- Line 552
<hookname>fetch_userinfo</hookname>

Replace:
<hookname>cache_templates</hookname>

*** If installed already:

AdminCP => Plugin System => Plugin System

Hook Location : fetch_userinfo
Plugin: vBShout [Template Cache]

Edit Change:

Hook Location : cache_templates

Also in the vbshout.php file.

Add Bold:
// ---------------------------------------------------
// Start Define Important Constants
// ---------------------------------------------------

define('LOCATION_BYPASS', 1);
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'vbshout');

REASON:

This will causes session.php to not update the field location in session table.

Every time the shoutbox does a refreash the session table location will change to the shotbox vs. the current page they are on.

If you disable smiles for the shoutbox and turn on the autoprune hack (somewhere in this thread) it tends to reduce the server load quite a bit.

Upload the attached file to includes/cron and then make a schedualed task to run at midnight once a day (0 0 * * *) with the file ./includes/cron/vbshout_prune.php and fill out the other fields with what ever you want. It will prune all shouts more than 24 hours old.

Hi,

very nice hack, thank you very much! I use it as a chat as my members are not very experienced with computers and the internet so they need something comfortable and easy. The drawback are the many SQL-Queries and requests for vbshout.php.

I think I`m going to change the hack so that the shoutbox will only appear when you click on a link on the startpage and then the startpage is called with an additional &showShoutbox=1 parameter.

Ciao,
Sacha

No, when someone is actually viewing the homepage, because the shoutbox is on the homepage when you click a users profile on the action it says they're viewing the shoutbox instead of the homepage, I really don't know how to fix this! lol

yes, you can edit a plugin, do you mean when they type in the shoutbox window?

Will it work in the Feature with vBulletin 3.6 (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=187654) ?

It works on my test board running vb 3.6 beta 2, but using the image tags within it doesn't. It effectively ignores them, and just changes the location into a link. It's one of the only things holding me back from upgrading, but i'll live until there's a proper release of 3.6, methinks.

i also have word wrap installed but it ends like this:

link]link[/url]

code replacement should be correct.

can someone help me?

you see, first bracket is missing before the link]. i understand this should be [url] instead of link]

my code lines are as follows (sir yaros replacement):

$Shout['s_shout'] = ereg_replace("[a-zA-Z]+://([-]*[.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-?&%])*", "link (\\0)", $Shout['s_shout']);
$Shout['s_shout'] = ereg_replace("(^| )(www([-]*[.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-?&%])*)", "\\1link (http://\\2)", $Shout['s_shout']);

inserted just before

$Shout['time'] = buildTime($Shout['s_time']);

second insert done is:

if ($Shout['s_shout'])
{
$Shout['s_shout'] = wordwrap($Shout['s_shout'], 80 , "\n" ,1);
}

just after:

if ($Shout['data']['italic'])
{
$Shout['style'] .= 'font-style:'.$Shout['data']['italic'].';';
}

i made both inserts in the vbshout.php in 2 places. once for the grabbing of latest shouts and as well as for the displayed archive.

where's the error ?

Thats not a problem, the screenshot was taken in the development (debug) mode where additional developer options are available. As the majority of admins have no need for these options (and it's not a good idea to have it on on your live board anyway) they are hidden by default.

No. The shoutbox totals are calculated live on archive page view, so if a user only has made 20 shouts since the last cron-prune then that's all they will have listed.

However, that works really well for my boards because the users use post count as a measure of "board contribution" and shoutbox counts as a measure of "how much free time did you have in the past week" (I prune older than 7 days). I use the shoutbox to catch all the drivel that might otherwise have made it onto the boards proper.

Has anyone tried to create multiple shoutboxes for the same forum? For example, I'd like the ability to have a private shoutbox in the admin forum.

Any idea how to do this?

Thanks!

sure is. In the line where you type your messages, just type /prune and hit shout or your enter key.

or you can use auto prune (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=885260&highlight=cron#post885260)

Also, Ronin Storm's Apostrophe fix works like a charm. Thanks!

You're welcome. Glad someone else has had chance to make use of it and see it working okay for them. :)

I have a little problem, it seems that the symbol "€" don't want to appear in the shoutbox, have you the same problem too ? Is there a way to fix that ?
Thanks :)

Hello, my members suggested me to put somewhere a link to the smilies.
So, i think there is somethink that we do not use, the word "emotions" when smlies button is clicked. :)

You can edit the template forumhome_vbshout and find the word Emoticons, it is in the 13th line in the default template:)
You can replace that with:
<a href='http://www.MYSITE.com/forum/misc.php?do=showsmilies'>Emoticons</a>

Enjoy! :D:D

Hi guys,

It's seem that I intalled it perfectly except that the smiles don't appear on the shoutbox panel. What maybe the cause why smilies don't appear?

Thanks

My host made me take this out because they said the server load was to high. Now we are all depressed.:( Anyone know of any good host that will let me run this?

The server load for this is shockingly high. Unless you own your own server then you can probably kiss this mod goodbye.

Yeah, after checking with several other hosts this morning. I realize this. No one seems to want this or any other real time chat applications. Oh well.:( Reluctantly clicking uninstall. :cry:

This post replaces my previous post on this subject, which I have (or will very shortly) edit to include a pointer direct to this post. Please see the bottom of this post for a bug fix to the original post.

BEGIN PREVIOUS POST:

Not seen this fix mentioned in the past 30 or so pages, nor does it come up on a thread search, so hopefully this is useful to some of you.

The Apostrophe Bug

The problem is that when you type a shout with one or more apostrophes in it when you go to edit that shout only the text up to but not including the first apostrophe appears. This is because, behind the scenes, the shouts are held in blocks delimited by apostrophes... so an apostrophe in the text truncates the result returned.

I've been running this hack-fix for around a week on a live board that receives 1000 or so shouts per week and I've not had any trouble.

In vbshout.php, on approx line 223, find:

$Shout['s_shout'] = bbcodeparser($Shout['s_shout']);

... replace with:

$Shout['s_shout'] = bbcodeparser(str_replace("'", "'", $Shout['s_shout']));

On approx line 338, find:

$vbulletin->GPC['shout'] = convert_urlencoded_unicode($vbulletin->GPC['shout']);

... replace with:

$vbulletin->GPC['shout'] = convert_urlencoded_unicode(str_replace("'", "'", $vbulletin->GPC['shout']));

On approx line 409, find:

$Shout['s_shout'] = bbcodeparser($Shout['s_shout']);

... replace with:

$Shout['s_shout'] = bbcodeparser(str_replace("'", "'", $Shout['s_shout']));

In essence, this replaces instances of apostrophes with the entity reference ' for storage and then converts the entity references back to apostrophes just in time to be displayed.

Please note that I've used the various fixes (and fixes of those fixes) to remove the injection issues highlighted by staffers here. If you're getting " instead of " in your shoutbox then you've probably not applied the fixes described in this thread on the posted "fixed" vbShout code and you probably should not use this hack-fix until you have.

Please let me know if you have any problems with this fix.

(ZT seems to be on indefinite leave so I've bypassed the bug reporting / waiting for response cycle so that people can try this out. I hope I don't offend anyone by this!)

END PREVIOUS POST.

BUG FIX (24 July 2006)

I discovered that there is an issue. Roughly, the issue occurs when you post a shout that has apostrophes, then go to edit it, submit that edit (which also has apostrophes in it) and then edit it again. The second edit retains the original apostrophe bug. This is because the AJAX edit was not also protected in the same way as the original shout.

The changes below should resolve this issue.

In vbshout.php, on approx line 518. find:

$vbulletin->GPC['shout'] = convert_urlencoded_unicode($vbulletin->GPC['shout']);

Replace with:

$vbulletin->GPC['shout'] = convert_urlencoded_unicode(str_replace("'", "'", $vbulletin->GPC['shout']));

On approx line 524, find:

$Shout['s_shout'] = bbcodeparser($Shout['s_shout']);

Replace with:

$Shout['s_shout'] = bbcodeparser(str_replace("'", "'", $Shout['s_shout']));

And that should be okay now. I believe. :)

Let me know if you have any issues with it!

Thanks for the bugfix.

The only thing I've done differently is to change the ' symbol to " &_#39;" (added an underscore cuz the post converts it to an apostrophe) because I read somewhere that ' may not work in IE.

I've also come across an issue (not related to the Apostrophe fix) where normal users can't edit or delete their own shouts. It appears to work, but nothing happens. If this is happening to you, here's the fix:

Edit vbshout.php:

In the function:

// ---------------------------------------------------
// AJAX Edit Shout
// ---------------------------------------------------

Find this line:

if ($Shout['sid'] != $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] && !can_moderate())

and change it to:

if ($Shout['s_by'] != $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] && !can_moderate())

In the function:

// ---------------------------------------------------
// AJAX Delete Shout
// ---------------------------------------------------

Find the line:

if ($Shout['sid'] != $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] && !can_moderate())

and change it to:

if ($Shout['s_by'] != $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] && !can_moderate())

Hope this helps.
