i need the word split because i installed the shoutbox on the left sidebar.
when a user is posting words or spam with much letters the tables shift.

and my englisch is so badly :D sorry

I can't get it to work on my new skin. So I uninstalled vbshout, and reinstalled it.. It's still not showing on my forumhome.. What can I do to get it to show?.. My members miss the shoutbox already lol.

Thanks.

no one got a word wrap function?

Anyone know why shout date and time dissapears when using the option to put it on the side of vbadvanced?

what does the clear option do? i click it and nothing happens

nevermind i got the prune now...

I notice that the users name is only colored if its there primary group but if its there secondary there name is just white

ex vip's are light green in ther regular post but in the shout ther white....is ther anyway to fix this?

hm, i'm a php noob, can't someone here help me with a word wrap plz?

Have installed this, works great! :) one slight problem though... if a user uses quote marks or a less than/greater than sign, all that appears on the chat window is " or < etc... what could be causing this please?

Where are the stats boxes .. I can't seem to find them .. :banana: When I download the file , it is version 1.5 ??

For the love of all humanity can someone please get permission to re-do this shoutbox and fix some of the problems plaguing it such as server queries and such.

is it possible to set user to shout at post #1, then wont shout again til post 20?

Yea, minimum post in forum is a good option for the admincp. btw. Nice extension.

This is a truly awesome addition. Can't thank you enough. Made my whole day! :banana:

I want when I press Smiles link, it'll whow all Smiles as when I post thread. How to ?

I want to increase the shouts allowed to 50 or 100, as my users are using this as more of a chat now.

Would this slow down my site badly?

I just made my extra skins chidren of the default style. Works a treat for me.
I do have one slight problem though.

Does anyone know how to limit the page history?

Great Hack Here! Thanks for sharing with us..

My new skin has the templates in it, I think it might have to do with a hook location or something like that. I can see the shout.php archive page if I switch skins while I'm in there or copy/paste the link, but the shoutbox doesn't show up on the forumhome.

To bad Zero hasn't been on since Jan, is there anyone that can help with this?

Help me, Please :)

The problem with this shoutbox, is that through experience, if you get alot of members doing shouting, it seriously bashes the server. Its crashed mine in many cases. (Especially on a shared server.) There are other bugs and such as well that need fixing. While this shoutbox is a nice hack, its totally been unsupported. Its been basically dumped by the person that made it. A one shot deal. So if anyone knows anything about ajax and php..etc...please try and help expand upon this and fix the problems its causing by getting permission to fix this. Thank you.

Yes, this hack is not good for boards with a lot of members/doing shouts at the same time as it crashes the mysql server with the the overloading connections.

It took awhile for me to figure out that the shoutbox was causing the problem. After I removed it, my server load dropped down to 2-3 (while it can be 10-50 average when the shoutbox is on)

Thanks, finally.. I was aware of that bug.

no no NOOOO... I did the upgrade and now when members post there are all kinds of crazy symbols... they can't use the < or the > or the " at all..
but they're getting stuff like &amp;quot; in place of it..... and I'm getting database errors up the yimyang!!

how can we fix this???

Got the same error.

Everytime a HTML special char is converted the phrase "&amp" adds before the char.

It seems that the converted chars are converted twice.

First the user makes an input like "<". After the PHP function it's "&lt;" and then the string is converted again to "&amp;lt;".

The "Insert" into the database is correct. ("&lt;")

Uploaded a new zip file now. Upload the new vbshout.php file, should fix all the problems.

Upgrade installed ..thanks:banana: I'm getting the same coding ..but I can live with it

Thanks for the update but the problem remain with accentuated char common in the french language for example : ? ? ?
Is there a way to fix it ?
Thanks :)

Has anyone been able to fix the Unknown Location problem for the online status listing? I tried a replacement variable but it didn't work.

RFViet if you click the "Shoutbox" title of the shoutbox then you are taken to the vBShout achive page. Both you and your users may edit and delete posts there (with users only being able to edit/delete their own).

You can get to the archive by visiting:

http://urltoyourforums.tld/vbshout.php?do=archive

Eg: "www.cheeseemporium.com/forums/vbshout.php?do=archive"

sorry Dan, that did not fix the problem..

when I enter --->>> on the sb I get ----&gt;&gt;&gt;

Yea, now I also have the &gt; problem similar to him. o.O

If you want to have a timestamp in the shoutbox which is different to the rest of the forum i.e. just the time and not the date then open your vbshout.php and delete the following:


Hope someone might find it useful. You'll find an example how it looks after modification in the attachement. It also works in vbadvanced if you have it installed in there.

Why are you using htmlspecialchars() as the 'fix' function? That only causes special chars to get converted... why not use strip_tags() ?

I've replaced the two calls to htmlspecialchars with strip_tags and everything is working as it is supposed to. - html code is stripped out, while leaving special chars alone.

Anyway, thanks for doing it in the first place! :D
