I'll just say that i have an average of 8% server load and i have the shoutbox running my host doesn't have a problem ;)

And yes there is version 2.0 of vbshout at vbh :D:D:D:D

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

Well that's not really true. But people will so insist on using ever-cheaper hosts, thus you get what you pay for.

I'm on shared, it's not cheap, I can run the Shoutbox fine and it gets more than 1000 shouts a week.

I dont have a problem with my host either,i'm on shared and I pay $100 USD annually for my hosting package,and I dont find the shout to be server intensive,It is the most used feature on my board and my forum would be naked without it,with over a 1000+ shouts a week,so at the end of the day its all down to what hosting package you bought

I would just like to point out version 5.0 is out out http://gzevolution.net/ The site is currently down but once it's up enjoy the new hack..

erm.. inferno shout v5.0 is for websites, not for forums. current vbshout (shoutbox for forums) is still only 2.0

I'll just say that i have an average of 8% server load and i have the shoutbox running my host doesn't havea porblem

Have you checked the overall bandwidth usage of the shoutbox versus, say, anything else on vbulletin? I have a memory that it's something like two magnitudes difference. My site has recently changed hardware (I run on a dedicated server) and with the change I no longer have access to my webstats... when I have them again I'll post what I see.

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)

It shouldn't matter what the translation is. I use the entity reference because they are effectively equivalent. However I could just as easily used "a89fysfh" or some other random collection of characters as long as I'm pretty sure they're a unique string. The changes I've made convert to the entity on storage but convert it back to an apostrophe for display.

because I read somewhere that ' may not work in IE.

I have never had issues with ' as an entity reference. It's one of the more basic ones. XHTML, under some circumstances, appears to have trouble with certain entity references it doesn't recognise ( ) but then I just use the unicode for those ones ( );

Edit: Realised I'd not responded to everyone I wanted to.

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!

I use this fix for the "Apostrophe Bug"
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=958674&postcount=1624

and I have the same problem with the edit field. But when I apply your Fix it doesn't work :-/

and I have the same problem with the edit field. But when I apply your Fix it doesn't work :-/

The fix you've highlighted there is unrelated to the issue I'm working on resolving. Brad's fix to his code was to stop entity references appearing after he patched the injection vulnerability. I'm assuming that you've already applied Brad's essential fixes and I build on his work.

Mine is not about fixing the appearance of " or whatever in your shoutbox. Mine is about being about to edit shouts that have the apostrophe character...

'

... in them. If you attempt to edit a shout, prior to my fix, with an apostrophe in it then the text displayed to you will be truncated to the first apostrophe. Not exactly what you need... :)

Make sense?

is there a way to get a report generated, that lists all the shouts made in the shoutbox? i know there's the archive, but i was wondering if i could set it up to send me a pm, od post them in a designated forum.

i have some users that like to start trouble, and i would like to review the shoutbox. please let me know if anyone can help. thanks!

I know I read about problems with the shout box in Safari but can't locate the fix(s).

Buddy of mine just installed the shout Box and when I view in Safari I get this huge shout box.

The other problem is that the shouts don't register unless I refresh or it takes a minute or more. I mean it's AJAX right? Shouldn't that work fine in Safari or is there a setting or something that has to be clicked on?

I tried it in FF and it works fine on his site.

Isn't there a fix for the large shout box AND what's the deal with the slowness. I really need this hack but it has to work in Safari for me.

Any help or direction would be appreciated.

Is there any way to disable the AJAX part of this mod? I loved "Shoutbox Hack 1.04b". I'm guessing the only alternative is to use Chatbox Lite but I'm afraid what will happen if you can't moderate it.

Ajax is bit pretty well into it so in short you'd be coding a completely different mod if you were to do that. Don't get me wrong it would be possible but i would need ZT's permission...

Most of vB is built around AJAX -- all the inline posting, editing, modding etc is AJAX -- right? It all works fine in Safari.

But this hack doesn't. And then there is the issue of the huge shout box that expands to about 10 inces... :eek:

Isn't there a fix for the slowness and the large box (thought I read about it somewhere).

I really like it but it has to be functional in Safari.

Safari ABSOLUTELY has problems with AJAX, its a known issue. Try looking at the same page with IE or Firefox, if it looks perfect then it is how Safari is handling the jscript.

The slowness has nothing to do with AJAX and really cannot be fixed, it is a network speed/utilization issue, not an AJAX coding problem.

Trana

07-28-2006, 12:55 AM

Any help on this guys? :cross-eyed:

I don't think you understand how AJAX works (and to be honest, this mod is not a very good choice to demonstrate what AJAX is supposed to be used for).

The shouts only refresh every few seconds because that is the refresh interval defined in the code. If you lessen it you will see the shouts faster but you will dramatically increase load and network utilization. If you are running this on a shared server then your service provider will probably shut you down. If you are on a dedicated server, the ISP may complain to you about the bandwidth utilization or try and charge you for the usage.

Again, this really isn't a very good demonstration of what AJAX is for, it has dynamic content and must be fully refreshed by all browsers every interval, so the fact that the whole page doesn't reload is nice but could be accomplished with iframes or something else.

If you understand RSS, this is the equivalent of turning your RSS reader up to check a news source every 5 seconds. There isn't much you can do to optimize this if 100 people are sitting on your homepage watching the shouts go by.

Try looking at the same page with IE or Firefox, if it looks perfect then it is how Safari is handling the jscript.Thanks man...I guess I don't fully understand the issues involved. But I do now understand that this hack will not work properly with Safari. At least I can stop trying to put a square peg in a round hole.

The slowness has nothing to do with AJAX and really cannot be fixed, it is a network speed/utilization issue, not an AJAX coding problem.But if that is the case why does it work so quickly in FireFox and not Safari (on the save network/server)? Safari just wil not process the information (shouts) without refreshing. Firefox displays the shouts almost instantly. Again I suppose it's an issue with Safari and I guess I'll just have to accept that.

Thanks again for the input.

07-28-2006, 07:48 AM

You can speed up various things and lower your server load by getting the new shoutbox.

let me explain: lower sever load becuase it uses the flatfile to retrieve the shouts rather than the db and it speeds up the archive edit. Plus fixes all this bug: " < and >.

just as a not you could set it to refresh every 0.1 second......

if you want your server to blow up.

rogersnm

07-28-2006, 07:52 AM

I don't think you understand how AJAX works (and to be honest, this mod is not a very good choice to demonstrate what AJAX is supposed to be used for).

I think it's quite a good mod to demostrate, it strings together a number of function: Edit, Delete, Update and Retrieve. Which ends up in it being a very good example of the power of ajax and a good demo. Even if some of the code is a bit dodgy.

i my self am working on an ajax mod right now which has 2 of those functions: http://forums.perfectforce.com/ajaxsig.php and http://forums.perfectforce.com/ajaxedit.php <-- that one still has issues with a query or 2

i had to remove this earlier today because it was lagging the server quite bad, and what i did was disable it first, then i uninstalled it, and the server locked up for like 3 minutes, then the processes were shooting up to 75%.

i had to force the server restart, and manually make services start.

i went to put the shoutbox back on, and now i get this error when its importing the plugin:

is there any easy way to have 2 shoutboxs? 1 for certain members another for other members?

Renmiri

08-04-2006, 01:55 PM

I put a shoutbox on most of my pages, at the bottom of the page. Users complained it was hard to see if there were any new shouts so I hacked up this lil' plugin to display it
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123023

PS: This was done here (http://sinsdawn.ffproject.net/index.php) with the latest vBShout for flatfile, but it should work with the regular vBShout.

Also:

I like to have a break between the textbox and the submit buttons like Shout, Clear, Smilies etc. I want the textbox at the top and the rest a line or a break lower?
Edit the forumhome_vbshout template:
Find
<input type="submit" value="Shout" class="button" />
Add BEFORE
<br />

And
is it possible to load this on a seperate window?

Yep, I did this for my fussy users:

1 - Add Shoutbox to the forumhome_vbshout_archive
Find
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="tcat" align="center">
Shouts
</td>
Right after the table statement add:
<tr>$Shoutbox</tr>

2-Add a link to the Shoutbox + Shout Archive page to your menu template (navbar ?) with target="_blank"
<a href='vbshout.php?{$session['sessionurl_q']}do=archive' target="_blank">Shoutbox</a>

Now users can keep a window open just with shout info, while the nice "shoutless" forum is on another. And you can even let forum users see the "last shout" to see if they want to join the convo :D

PS: You might want to edit the forumhome_vbshout_archive_shout template because the current one is too garish ;)

2.1 is way better than 2.0. Much smoother and faster.

i use usergroup promotions to control that, default user group is banned from VBshoutand they get promoted to the next usergroup so long as they have been a member 1 month and posted 30 times or more, i allow the 2nd usergroup to use the arcade and shoutbox.
so you can set that up easy enough to promote from the default group they join the forums with to a clone of with the added vbshout permissions.

under usergroups > promotions

Yes, the post was wrong, but what you posted is also wrong. It is
forumhome_vbshout_shout

So it should read

1: Go to forumhome_vbshout_shout
2: Find this line: <if condition="!$Shout[s_me]">
3: Add before: [{$Shout['time']}]

And I went ahead and tested it. It works.

I installed it and it worked, then the editor disappeared. Then the editor reappeared.

I switched to version 2.1 from vbhackers. It loads faster with no issues.

2.1 is also by Zero Tolerance, but is a complete rework designed for 3.6.0 and, I believe, works for 3.5.4.

So, you have a choice.

I made a autoprune function for vBshout.
Just download the attached file and put in the /includes/cron directory.
Then make a new scheduled task (see attached jpg).
I run it every night at 3 o clock but offcourse your free to run it more often than that.

What is does: It will delete all shouts that are older than 24 hours.
This way you will allways have an archive that's holds no shouts that are older than two days.
You can alter the deletion time in the php by altering the "(TIMENOW - (60 * 60 * 24)" statement.

Enjoy :)

Replaced the php with the right one

Hi, first of all, thanx for a great hack!

Since I installed shoutbox and my members are in index.php (startpage) the wol (who's online) is updating activity continuously even if they not do anything. Now I've installed a total time spent on board hack and the inactivity time is set for 45min before members autologout but in this case the onlinetime just go on and on as long they stay on (startpage)...

Does anyone know a solution?

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:

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

Thanks..

if say someone wanted to edit it so more than one person had acess

they could put this instead..

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != 1)
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != 2)
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != 5)
{ print_no_permission();
exit();
}

giving acess to users 1,2 and 5

Howdy all, I planing to use the shout box on the front page of my site.. currently in development at http://dev.zgeek.com (if you can't see it, its been built into the monitor on the top right)

I usually have around 100 to 150 people on the site, around 60 -70 who are logged in. I've also shortened the max characters people can post in a message to around 30.

I'm worried about this slowing the site. I have my own dedicated server and a large amount of bandwidth so traffic isn't a worry. But is this going to kill my server processing the shouts?

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?

Big problem with characters like <> " ' , eccc

I think this is another Bug, when for example I ban e specific user Group that is Unregistered/ Not Loged Users, these users see anyway a vbshout window and see this message
"Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /vbshout.php on line 293"

Forget, I'm using vB 3.6.0

this is prolly known but i just thought id say, that when u quote something it messes up, for example

"backup"

turns into this

"backup"

For the people above who are experiencing the " -> " bug, try commenting out line 120 which reads:

$text = htmlspecialchars_uni(trim($text));

I think this will still result in all characters like < being cleaned etc., but it misses out ", which should be OK in most circumstances.

Anyway, I need help with something. I'm trying to add badword filter functionality to the shoutbox with the following code placed above line 343:

$badwords = array('badword1' => 'replacement1', 'badword2' => 'replacement2', 'badword3' => 'replacement3');
$vbulletin->GPC['shout'] = str_ireplace(array_keys($badwords), array_values($badwords), $vbulletin->GPC['shout']);

Obviously I've replaced the actual badwords to avoid antagonizing staff around here... Anyway, this code should work fine, but when it's added in, the shoutbox just plain refuses to insert it into the database. It's the same no matter what you set $vbulletin->GPC['shout'] to. Even if you add some code to set it to "hello" just before it's inserted, it doesn't get inserted. Any help?

Well, unless it's possible to have those security holes without installing those. Like I said, I renamed the shoubox's php file and it was fine. I went through and banned him and his ip, renamed the php file and went back to the site the pop up came up one more time, I was able to close it this time. Pruned the shoutbox and no more problems.

The code I would have thought was some type of re-write code, because it looked like I had placed a passworded directory on my entire site. There was an image, with a red x but nothing showed up, but no text was showing - just the username. I won't post the whole contents on here, because its a public board, but I did a search on Google and it showed up in a number of places.

This is the second attempt within a few days, but the other person tried posting re-direct HTML in in a thread, luckily it failed.

I used to have FlashChat installed, but that now just leaves your site open to attack. Going to see if I can tighten my coding to prevent this happening again.

Please report all Security Vunerabilities to staff via the "Report This Modification" link under Mod Options. The staff will then evaluate your report and the modification, and proceed from there.

Please describe as best you can what happened and the code used...etc...etc..

that's the same thing that happened on mine, some users were able to get a word in here or there, but I had to ctrl/alt/del and shut down my browser through there.

I noticed that people who hadn't confirmed their emails could use the shoutbox (such as this freeze fellow), so I added that user group to the unable to use option. I also added freeze to the names not allowed on registration heh, because after I banned him he re-registered and had a completley different ip but still used freeze in his name.

I don't know what he typed in the shoutbox because I pruned it as soon as i could, the last thing I seen him say was daaaaaaaannnngeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrr

It would be nice, however if you look at the top the "supported" box is NOT checked so that has to be taken into consideration before calling them out like this.

As for the date it uses the format you have your forums set to in vBulleting options/Date and Time Options. To make it different from that I'm not sure, this is only a very vague guess but maybe in the shout.php something with this? Sorry, that's best I can do for you.
function buildTime($time = TIMENOW)
{
global $vbulletin;

$Time = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $time, $vbulletin->options['yestoday']);
$Time .= ' ';
$Time .= vbdate($vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $time, $vbulletin->options['yestoday']);

Thank you and I appreciate your answer. I do not wish to be harsh, but you see, it is exactly what I wrote: just guessing because there is no support. I did modified the php but the date is one day in advance and not sure to play around to not damage something else...

I do not believe that I called anybody in any way...
It is just common sense that when you arrive here sent by vBulletin.com to get sooner or later what you expect. In fact, what is the purpose of this forum? To post various hacks and let others bang their heads and screw their boards?? Do a guessed mod and later to realize that it is something else screwed-up?
Why the forum's policy allows to post a hack that is unsupported or explained in details by the coder? Why not place them in a separate section "Unsupported Hacks"? However, if you look through this forum most of the hacks are supported.
All together, it just appear to me that this board does not have any management in place...

o0Hubba0o

09-17-2006, 07:48 PM

Well at least you have the option of seeing if it's supported or not, if it's not then don't install it on your boards. These forums have been set up that way since I joined and I'm sure before that. Things happen, peoples lives move in different directions.

Bottom line, look to see if the supported option is checked or not, if it is and you don't get support then you have a plausible arguement. Getting responses which may be guesses are better than nothing when a hack/mod isn't supported, at least they're giving ideas on how to go about it. This site is more than just the staff and coder's providing us with hacks/mods, it's the community doing their best to help each other too. That's more than you'll get at other sites.

I was thinking on the smilie or image deal this might help:

Q: Some of my images are broken on my vBadvanced pages.

A: If it is your smilies and/or icons that are broken, upload the install file to your /forum/admincp directory and go to the file in your browser. Once there, you will see a link that says 'Click here to update your image paths'. Click that link and it will attempt to update your image paths. If it cannot, you will need to change the URL to each of your smilies and icons through the Admin CP.
I had to upload my styles image folders to the root also to get them to work with vba pages, I currently don't have anything on my portal that would show smilies so that's not an issue with me.

I am attempting to make two installations of vBShout, the second of which I will move to a different page and use as a chatroom for premium members (I hope this isn't *too* server intensive). Anyway, I did a complete find and replace for "shout" to "chat" and "Shout" to "Chat" in the vBShout files. I then installed the new product. On my forums index, I get the following error (so the product is now disabled):Fatal error: Cannot redeclare isbanned() (previously declared in /home/volconvo/public_html/forums/index.php(536) : eval()'d code:114) in /home/volconvo/public_html/forums/index.php(536) : eval()'d code on line 265Any idea how to fix this?

I should probably add that since I'm moving it to a new page anyway, if anyone can help figure out how to stick it on its own empty vB page, that would kill two birds with one stone.

I am having a slight issue with it in 3.6.0
(also was doing it on 3.5.4)

anyways when you try to type a "----" I get this... "------"

is there a way to fix this? its really annoying!

thanks in advance..

Page 109, look there for your answer. There is an alternative PHP file to DL that will replace the current PHP file.

i don't know whether or not you're pointing us to that site to sign up or what? Do you have a direct way you can say in here?

BTW, i like your forum home, how do i get mine like that?

Hi!

I am quite new to vbulletin and therefore i am having a little trouble here implementing the shoutbox properly.
I?d like to set the shoutbox to another position in my forum than the 3 options given. (And of course switching off the default position one). How do i do this ?
A step by step guide would be nice ;)

Thanks in advance, Ingo

ok this is strange. I have a user who can post no problem, but when he goes to the archive and edits his post, its saves, but as soon as you return to the shoutbox the changes don't remain. Any ideas?
