[AJAX] vBShout v2.0

[Zero Tolerance]

Staff Edit/Update

I have released an updated version of this hack (version 2.0.1), this version fixes some security issues with this hack. All version prior to this one allow users to insert html in their shouts, this can cause problems with them using html that breaks the site layout or malicious javascript. Download the new zip file (vBshout_fixed.zip) and upload the new vbshout.php file to patch/upgrade. If you want to manual instructions they are in the zip file, in the file bugfixes.txt

Second Staff update

I've uploaded a new version of this hack, dubbed '2.0.2'. This one should fix the html injection issues without breaking special characters. To upgrade, download the new zip file and upload the new vbshout.php file.

Please note that this only fixes the html injection issues. I do not use this hack on my own forum (although I've tested this on a client's board) so I will not be fixing the server load issues. I suggest you do not install this hack if you can't deal with the extra server load, as it's rather intensive.

End staff edit

Well, been a while since I've been to vb.org and released anything, thought i'd break the trend and whip up something quick while I have a little spare time.

A shoutbox as you would assume, a very simple one to start off with, but does include AJAX Technology, which pushes the shoutbox 1 step closer to live, messages from other people will appear with no refreshing, and so will yours that you post :)

nothing happened after i installed the plug-ins....

can u tell me whats wrong?

[bleodler]

Excellent, it's working great on my test board. One very minor complaint though, when a member is viewing forumhome page now, their location listed in their profile is "Unknown Location /testvb/vbshout.php" It would be nice to have it say Forum Index like normal.

Make sure you go to "Manage Products" and click on "Add/Import Product" and are not going to "Download/Upload Plugin". That could be the problem.

[TTG]

Great .. members have been screaming for a shoutbox since I upgraded to 3.0.5

I think you'll need to upgrade to RC1 for this hack, that's the version that introduced the product manager.

[Biker_GA]

I'd be interested in that as well. Our users would love to have the shoutbox back, but it looked like a dog's breakfast at the top of the forums. I'd be tempted to reload it if I could get it to appear at the bottom.

[FleaBag]

Very nice... What are the maximum shouts it shows? I'm assuming once it hits a quote any older shouts are deleted?

[Ron1n]

it looked like a dog's breakfast at the top of the forums.You are so nice... Zero Tolerance put in the effort to make a shoutbox and you say it looks like a dog's breakfast. I, for one, like the shoutbox at the top.

Good work on the shoutbox - I like it. Do you have a timeframe for when this will include permissions and the ability to edit shouts? I really do like the simplicity and I hope it doesnt get overblown like most of the ones for 3.0.7 have.

Edit: This is an extension not a plugin :D

[Biker_GA]

The style we're using doesn't lend itself to using a shoutbox at the top. And I don't know if it was ZT's hack or not when we were using it.

[cuphongle]

thanks alot....hella easy to install

i like the shoutbox too, but some members prefer it at the bottom, well most of 'em actually. I don't give a hoot, just glad that installs can be done easier these days!

[Jenta]

nice but it's an extension due to the file upload

[Boofo]

Any way to add the font and color select to the shoutbox?

Like the attached pic.

[bleodler]

You can create a New Replacement Variable in the proper style and make "Unknown Location /testvb/vbshout.php" say anything you wish.

that works great, thanks.

[ThePimp]

I'm running 3.5 Beta 4... I don't see a "Manage Products" -> "Add/Import Product" section... Any way to work around this?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Yes, upgrade to 3.5 RC1

[Zero Tolerance]

Updated to v1.1, corrected the WOL, could of sworn i included those plugins .. oh well.

To answer a few questions, no this will not work with any beta versions, since none of them don't have the product manager, which you will need to upload the XML included in the download.

As for updating with options/permissions, yes that will come, i intend to use this shoutbox myself when i upgrade to vB 3.5, so more features will be on the way :)

Since a lot of people seem to like the shoutbox being at the bottom, i'll ensure that will be an ACP feature in the future (place shoutbox below navbar/below forums/below forum stats).

- Zero Tolerance

[cclaerhout]

Here is a way to place your Shoutbox WHERE YOU WANT

Simple edit your forumhome template. Create where you want the variable :
$shout

This will be the place where will appear your shoutbox. But for this, you have to do a last modification :

Go to your Plugin Manager, edit "vBShout [Template Alteration]" and replace $navbar by $shout.

It should be like this
eval('$Shoutbox = "' . fetch_template('forumhome_vbshout') . '";');

$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace('$shout','$shout $Shoutbox',$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']);

[Zero Tolerance]

Good idea, but just to clean upa little (sorry, it's a habbit :p), change the plugin to:
eval('$Shoutbox = "' . fetch_template('forumhome_vbshout') . '";');

And simply place the variable '$Shoutbox' in forumhome we're ever you'd like :)

Also, when you edit the product, the install code looks like this


$Query = "CREATE TABLE `".TABLE_PREFIX."shout` (

`s_by` int(15) NOT NULL default '0',

Try uninstalling and reinstalling (by selecting uninstall in the product manager, then re-uploading the XML)

Also make sure you have the most updated php file uploaded. That should fix up any problems, not sure why they occured.

@ Boofo - I just uninstalled and reinstalled using the XML in the zip provided and it's all working fine. Try removing the code, check the table 'shout' doesn't exist, and reinstall. If you get an error on uninstallation saying the table doesn't exist, run this query to create a temp one: (don't forget the mySQL table prefix)
CREATE TABLE `shout` (
`sid` int(15) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`s_by` int(15) NOT NULL default '0',
`s_time` int(15) NOT NULL default '0',
`s_shout` text NOT NULL,

Then uninstall and re-install, should work then.

Any way to have an Admin drop down that only the Admin can see for the prune options and maybe one to delete a specific shout?

[cuphongle]

how do i make it that so it apply to all skins?
i got "aria styles" and it wont work on that

[Zero Tolerance]

@ Boofo - I'll look into that, a command for a specific shout, you mean like: /prune [shout here]?

@ cuphongle - The system automatically inserts the shoutbox into the template forcebly (sp?) via PHP, using variables/html comments that SHOULD be in the template 'FORUMHOME', try changing the position of the shoutbox, if it works on other skins then they are missing some elements which are needed to place the shoutbox.

- Zero Tolerance

[Biker_GA]

The Aria style is strange. Where you would think you'd need to input something, it's done someplace complete different.

For example.. I was attempting to add some additional links to the Quick Links button. One would think that the navbar template would be the logical choice. In this case, modifications are required to the header template. Drove me absolutely stark raving mad until I figured it out.

[Zero Tolerance]

That's probably why then, the $navbar variable is supposed to be in FORUMHOME template as apposed to the header.

Yes, sir, just in case you get the one user who is having a bad day. Gives you a little more control over what is said in the shout box. ;)

Also, the bold button doesn't seem like it shows the bold being turned off when you are entering the message although it is turned off when you submit the message.

Can you set it up to use the Today/Yesterday time option if we have the set?

[Zero Tolerance]

Alright, i'll make it /pruneshout [shouthere] just incase someone's username is the same as a shout.

Also what do you mean by the bold exactly? Not quite sure what you meant, you turn it on then off but after posting it still shows up bold?

You might want to do a drop down to pick which single shout to get rid of. ;)

If it's working right for you, then leave it as is. Maybe it was the font I used (System). But I tried different fonts and it still didn't show it right when it was turned off.

You certainly used Shoutbox before. I had the same problem. I solve it with a drop of table shout in phpmyadmin. To avoid this (i don't know if it's possible) the script should check if the table exists or not and then behaves differently.

[cclaerhout]

zero tolerance...u know how i can add a quick reply to a different style?

Go to your Admincp -> Styles & Templates -> Select the style you want to modify -> and edit templates : forumhome_vbshout and forumhome_vbshout_shout. Just save them.

But don't forget, if there's an update of vBShout, you will have to update manually the templates you have changed. Why ? Because the product manager installs templates in the master style and your different styles use its settings except if you customize them.

That's due to your fixed width, if you look in the template: forumhome_vbshout_shout, change the 100% width value to 90%, it should go away then :)

That would cause wrapping on usernames, uglyness :p

- Zero Tolerance

[ThePimp]

The ability to display this on the forumdisplay would rule. I installed this on the ForumHome, and it drops user activity in the actual forum and becomes counter productive, however I think if it were shown on the ForumDisplay, they would have a thread list staring at them with different topics, that they would periodically refresh to get new topics, that might inspire them to continue posting while the shoutbox is going. Just a though. I've turned it off currently until I can figure out a way to do this.

With over 20k+ users, a drop in usage is fairly significant.

[Boofo]

That would cause wrapping on usernames, uglyness :p

- Zero Tolerance

Wouldn't this work?

<tr>
<td width="100%" align="left" valign="top"><nowrap>[{$Shout['time']}] <b>{$Shout['username']}</b> --</nowrap> {$Shout['s_shout']}
</td>
</tr>

I adapted it a little bit to have the shout show up right after the username.

[Zero Tolerance]

The nowrap tag is depreciated to my knowledge, atleast i couldn't find it on a HTML tag reference list and XHTML tag reference list on w3schools, wouldn't surprise me really, they're trying to slowly knock out most tags/attributes and make it all css based.

I also split it into 2 TD's so that the shouts were all aligned in a list :)

Almost finished with v1.4, just got to do Boo's request for the usergroup prefix/suffix html and finilize ban users/usergroups :)

[Zero Tolerance]

Well with the one you posted earlier, i'd assume this should work to keep the time/username wrapped:
<tr>
<td width="100%" align="left" valign="top"><span style='white-space:nowrap;float:left'>[{$Shout['time']}] <b>{$Shout['username']}</b> --</span> {$Shout['s_shout']}

And sure, i'll go PM you now =P

Perfect, fixed it. ;)

Now, is there a way to have the shout wrap but not go all the way to the lift under the time and username without have them all line up like the do now (according to the longest username). I like the shout right after the username. ;)

[kwopper]

@ Zero Tolerance...any chance of adding the position "above forums". I know the "below Navagation Bar" is there but I am using the Welcome box hack and the shout box will not show when you select the "below nav bar". I would suspect it is because the welcome ox modifies the nav bar. If its not much hasle that would be great if it is dont fuss with it. You have done a nice job here. Also on an earlier question...anyone know how to add this to CMPS portal?

[Zero Tolerance]

Take the span end tag and put it before the TD ends, however this would cause a scroll bar along the bottom, which i'm guessing you don't want, just want to make my life difficult =P

A new design for smilies display has already been completed in v1.5, it won't be a pop up however, simply because:
A) I hate pop-up's just like any normal person browsing the net :p
B) Thew new way looks cooler :p

As for the deletion of shouts, that will occur every time you upgrade, however i don't see it as a major loss myself, shoutbox's are pretty much full of random stuff people stick in :p

Do what I did and remove all the smiley stuff from the vbshout forumhome template. I have a lot of smilies installed, and I didn't much care for all them having to load on every forumhome page view.

Despite that, great hack - or extension or whatever. :p

[Kirk Y]

How do we prune specific shouts? I realize we use the command "/prune [shout]", but how do we specify which shout?

Any chance we could give all the colors... real names? Or possibly take all of them out but the most basic: red, blue, green, etc.

Also: I think this is a tiny bug: the /me command cannot be used unless it's the first entry in the shout. /me screams! will work... but Stacie cries as /me screams! will not work.

[Jason McConnell]

How do we prune specific shouts? I realize we use the command "/prune [shout]", but how do we specify which shout?

As far as I can see, you can only just clear the shoutbox or clear specific user's posts. /prune acidburn0520 would clear all of your shouts, and I don't think what you're looking for is available (yet?).

Banned Usergroups

"/me" - Action message (all users are able to use this command)
/pruneshout [shout] - Deletes a single shout

Looks like it's available to me...

What exactly did you remove?
I tried removing the code and the Shoutbox ceased to function. So I just left the "Emoticons" URL untitled.

Locate in your forumhome_vbshout template:
<a href='#' id='vbshout_emoticon'><if condition="$vboptions[shout_extra_options]">Emoticons</if></a>

Replace with:
<a href='#' id='vbshout_emoticon'><if condition="$vboptions[shout_extra_options]"></if></a>

Locate and remove in your forumhome_vbshout template:
$Smilie_Build
That's a quick fix... but I'd still prefer to remove the actual code.

I get the same.

Also, it doesn't work for unregistered users even if the user group isn't banned, they still see the shoutbox, but it just says loading all the time.

It also doesn't work to well with Opera so one of my members tells me.

[Zero Tolerance]

@ Loki - It inherits the CSS of your forum

@ Sovereign - To delete a single shout, use the command: /pruneshout [shout], so if someone's message was 'Hi all', you would put: /pruneshout Hi all :)

@ acidburn0520 - Look above, and the /me command is supposed to be used at the beginning of all actions, you can't place it inside a sentance mid-way through.

@ kaihawaii - Look at the banned permissions in the shoutbox options inside your ACP

@ Ian Emu-UK - Look above.

As for the emoticons display/loading time, i am aware and v1.5 does imporve this greatly, i appologise for any inconveniance caused, v1.5 will hopefully be released soon, unfortunatly life is unpredictable :p

- Zero Tolerance

[Ian Emu-UK]

"can not view Shoutbox" has the same effect as "can view shoutbox but not messages"

The shout box can still be seen but it gives the banned message.

Shouldn't it not display the shout box?

[Jason McConnell]

"/me" - Action message (all users are able to use this command)
/pruneshout [shout] - Deletes a single shout

Looks like it's available to me...


My bad.... had a very long day ;) Thanks for pointing that out :D

Not sure what you mean by number 1, the drop down shows all the hex codes and the text is coloured from that hex code, ie: #FFFFFF is white, and the text would be white, so may not show clearly dependant on your drop down menu css colours.

It works fine in IE as far as i know, atleast it's the only browser i use and it's all working for me, can you be more specific as to what isn't working with IE?

Go to the actual url: yoursite.com/forums/vbshout.php, see if it shows a db error.

Also i don't ensure the JS works with browsers like Opera, i keep to the JS standards, however i just tested in Opera and Netscape (newest versions) and it completely works, apart from the colours in the drop down menu don't show like you said in "Opera", but probably a problem on there side.

Does the new pending version still load smilies? I'd much prefer a simple popup box that doesn't load 'em until you click it.

As far as what to remove to the question asked above, you also have to remove the script code, or you'll bork the shoutbox. Also, if you just remove the link, the smilies will still load (watch the status bar at the bottom of your browser). But this is all most likely pointless with the new version.

It won't show on every page even if i do that. The code is in the forumhome complete hook, so it will only show on the forums index.

I tryed putting it in the global hook (start and complete) but i ither get an undefined function, or cannot call function again.

I couldn't get it to load on my regular forum so I tried it on my test forum and am getting this:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '<' in /home/southern/mysouthernlady.com/testvb/index.php(454) : eval()'d code on line 1


Plus, it's not showing up at all. My test forum has ONE other plug in installed: New Posts & Threads Since Last Visit. Liz

That's most likely your problem and everyone else's that says it doesn't work with RC2

The pruneshout does not work on shouts llike:

hello there

Also, is there a way to keep the font-size in a controllable range without the big letter shouts?
