This actually doesnt work.

Ive made a usergroup called Shoutbox users, banned user group 2 (registered) from the shoutbox, and people with Registered and Shoutbox users set as secondary still cant use the shoutbox.

if I make shoutbox users the primary user group they can use it, but cant log in to the forum!

So this doesnt work at all.

Any other ideas?

For some reason, the smilies don't quite work. When someone posts a smiley, it shows for a split second, then when the chat refreshes, it disappears.

Anyone know why or how to fix it?

This looks nice!
My members were asking for a shoutbox, so this comes handy indeed.
And I thing all remaining issues are going to be resolved in time!
--> Installing :)

[EDIT]
OK, have it installed now.
The shoutbox apears just fine, but then it doesn't work!
I type in some text, hit "Shout" - and nothing happens.
When I push "Shout" again it tells me there is a posting in progress and that's it.

I'm running it on vB3.5.1

Any ideas?

hey i'm very new to all this forum stuff, but got my first hack problem, downloaded the vbshout.zip and installed it fine the problem is the zip says its the 1.5 version but if i follow the brief that ZT has written i should have a vBShout options menu in my ACP but i dont. Also i cant change where the shoutbox should be(where on the page i'd like it)

Any help?????

thanks

lol it should be the newest one in there he has the versions all messed up the plugin says 1.6 the instrusctions say 1.5 but the php file says 2.0... i have it installed and it works nice though

kool, thanks for clearing that part up, does anyone know of a reason why i wouldnt have the shout options in my ACP though??

did you Import Product? cause thats seems strange that you wouldnt... check you vbulletin options in the scroll down its in there

yea i imported the product, i'll try an uninstall/reinstall and see if that works

did you look in the vbulletin options ? cause thats where the settings are for it...

is there a way to include the "ignored buddies" in the shoutbox?

I need to do this too as mb vbshout.php file is causing me greaf in regards to bandwidth consumption .... anyone else managed to reduve to to the amounts suaveD has done? I managed to get it to 13k from 16, if anyone else can manage more could ya let us have the modified PHP file please?

thanks.

just installed again and the settings are there

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!

Pretty good little shoutbox. Seem to have a slight problem with the similie graphics not showing in the shouts but I'm sure I'll fix it when I have time.

Two questions...

Firstly, which which template controls the shout display size, and the time/date which appears before the shout. I want to remove the brackets, and make the font smaller to match my forum.

Thanks ;)

as for the size of the shout box thats in the admin settings i havent looked at the settings for the font yet cause i want to edit mine too ill look now and see if i can tell

when will upgrade to 3.5.1?

i think u have a better chance of getting pregnant lol.. he hasent even been on this thread in a bit

Does anybody here nows, how i can have the Shoutbox on a custom page?

I've setup a custom page, displaying my webcam (like i read on vb.org tutorial somewhere). Now i just want the shoutbox into this page. Does anybody know, which code i can include into my template?

I have it running on 3.5.1

i uploaded everything box show fine but it keeps saying loading whats that all about.
i can type but it loads or show nuthing. i use firefox 1.5 if that helps u help me..thanx in advance

there is a security flaw if you direct link to vbshout.php - you can execute java and html

this should fix

which is;

http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/m...estandards_gpc

changes..
# TYPE_STR - Trimmed String (No leading or trailing whitespace)
to
# TYPE_NOHTML - Trimmed String sent through htmlspecialchars_uni()

ive tested - yes indeed it does fix

can i have this confirmed please

ive found it doesnt work on firefox v1.5 but does on v1.7

There is no 1.7...

Chris

sorry i was thinking of mozilla

im sorry i'm new at this where do i find this at please

well its seems its in the file like that 2 times do we replace both of the 'shout' => TYPE_STR,
with 'shout' => TYPE_NOHTML,

in the vbshout.php of course

the hole is in the first one - no need to change anything else

as a test i looked at a couple of forums with shoutbox installed - it was very very easy to run custom javascript on their forums - this hole is actually very dangerous - all the users need to fix

would it hurt to change the second one ? cause i had changed mine already everything still works... just want to make sure its ok

And what would happen if we don't?

THANX INSTALLED EVERYTHING IS WERKING CORRECTLY ALSO in 3.5.1 i did not nee to change any templates excellent......

I've got this same problem - does anyone yet have a solution for it?

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?

I had to uninstall this - it slowed my site down too much - sorry

Yep, I'd like the shoutbox at the bottom of V3arcade pages too :nervous:

What makes you say that?

i will come to your forum and start executing some malicious java and html - and a few thousand other would be idiots could do it too

i jhave no idea why this flaw hasnt been updated as i have pm'd the author and it sems im being ignored ?

TRUST ME this is a very big security hole - ignore me at your own risk :)

I had to uninstall this as well.

After monitoring the server, it turns out that this INCREASED my server load by 2-3x of it's normal load. I had it on for about 1.5 months or so. Now that it's uninstalled, the site runs MUCH smoother.

Seriously? Has anyone else noticed this? My server seems to have magically slowed over the last couple of months, but I can't imagine it's because of the Shoutbox - anyone else have an experience to note?

Hate to say it, but it's the shoutbox. My site has experienced the same problems from this. I honestly do not know why people bring out mods/hacks/plug-ins.....then drop them right away afterwards, even if they do good. All that does is hurts the modding community and clogs it up. If nothing else it would be nice if someone else could pick this up, fix the bugs, maybe add a few new features then re-release it with the coders permission since it seems he's not going to do it himself anyways.
