Reinstall still does not fix my issues. These issues weren't happening with the previous version. :(

Can you check Firefox' error console to see if it's more useful than Chrome's?

Fillip

thanks for your reply! Why were already using vBShout 5 without any problems. Since we updated vBShout because of the security issue, this error appeared.

After taking a look into the database we can say that it is formatted in latin1_swedish_ci and the forum encoding is iso-8859-1. My forum administrator tried a fresh installation in his test forum (on an other server where it was working perfectly before, too), with the same umlauts issue.

In addition, the shouts on the archive page are displayed perfectly.


Best regards,
Majora

Could you please PM me with an FTP account and a user account that can access the Shoutbox? If so, I'll see if there's anything that can be done :)

Firefox gives me:

Timestamp: 3/23/2012 1:04:04 PM
Error: missing ; before statement
Source File: http://www.zealotgaming.com/forum/index.php?styleid=8
Line: 600, Column: 94
Source Code:
vbphrase['dbtech_vbshout_flagged_idle'] = "You are currently flagged as Idle. Click <a href="javascript://" onclick="%link%">here</a> to un-flag.";

vBShout v6.0.5:
Fix: Work-around for the "broken characters" some people were experiencing after upgrading to vBShout 6.x
Change: Changed the content type for the data sent back to the server to application/json - this should also mean less confusing error messages.

Fillip

Thanks for the update! Still having the same issue, looked through all the files for where this phrase could be and didn't find it though.

Can you create a test account for me so I can see the HTML source when viewing as a user that can access the SB?

Fillip

Sorry, I'll turn it on for guests!

It's better but still not good ;) My table collocation is latin1_general_ci (all _dbtech_* tables).
After update I don't have special characters like "?" but I see "raw" characters from database.

Now looks like that http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images...bshoutbox.png/
Some characters: n = ? (it should look like this n = ń) ; l = ? (l = ł) ; c = ? (c = ć) ; a = ? (a = ą) etc.

This the way how polish characters are stored in the database with latin1_general_ci encoding . In older version all works fine (under 6.x).

The latest version seems to mess up all the non-Latin characters in our forum as well, while up till 6.0.4 they were displayed normally.

The database collation and webpage encoding are both set to UTF-8, but the Greek characters all displayed as weird symbols after applying this version. We rolled back to 6.0.4 for now...

In the next version I'll add a toggleable setting for the UTF8 trick, that way only forums that need it can turn it on.

You should be able to view our code now Fillip.

Please revert all customised vBShout templates, your dbtech_vbshout_shoutbox template is still in v5.4 format :)


Fillip

How can I have this work with vbacmps?

vBShout v6.0.6:
Fix: XSS vulnerability in Shout Reports

Fillip

Thanks Fillip! All fixed!

My shoutbox is stuck on Loading I dont know why that is

You may have the same problem as KGodel, try reverting any customised vBShout templates. If not, please check Firefox' error console :)


Fillip

vBShout v6.0.7:
Fix: Reflected XSS vulnerability in Archive Search
Fix: UTF-8 compatibility code should no longer run for forums that are natively in UTF-8 mode

Fillip

I'm reciving an error 503.
What must I need to do? in order to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Where are you getting this?

A 503 error means you web site is unavailable. This is usually a web host issue. Anyway, you should contact your host because they will be able to help you with this far better than DBTech or anyone one vB.org will be able to.

it showers on the shout box it's self.

my font color shows up the same color for everyone when i pick font colors instead of what the user picked how can i remedy this thanks

Post your URL here so I can investigate for myself :)

You're running v6.0.3-beta, an outdated version. Please update to the latest version :)


Fillip

on the contrary i have 6.0.7 and the pro version let me know what i can do to fix this thanks

Please post Pro support questions in our Pro support forums :)


Fillip

Is it possible to disable the swear filter?

Yeah, under Censorship Options in vBulletin Options :)


Fillip

Ok, didnt realise it was tied into the forum Censorship options..

Thanks for responding.

Yeah it automatically is, I forgot exactly what function does it but pretty much everything posted everywhere is tied into that :)


Fillip

OK here is my URL
http://www.mightyram50.net/vbulletin/forum.php
It's allowing you to view and type on it. Let me know if there is more you may need. If you try to type somthing it just stays on the text input area and flashes the 503. then after time it will tell you your flaged.
Thanks.

With the latest update I keep getting this error at times

Nothing displays on the shoutbox during this erroe and it keeps saying "Loading.." I need to prune the shoutbox to make it work again.

What might be causing this ?

You have a database error. Please check the email you have set up as technicalemail in config.php for the error message :)

Next time it happens, please don't prune the SB and send me you URL along with an account that can access the SB (or make it accessible to guests) so I can find out why :) Thanks :)


Fillip

A small suggestion for future versions: When a chat PM is received, the tab from the sender automatically appears instead of the user having to reply to the chat PM by having to click on the sender's name and having to manually open the tab.

I'm sure many customers/people who use this mod would like this

Thank you :)

Wouldn't that be highly disruptive if you were currently typing up either a normal shout or a PM to someone else?

Fillip

I meant having the tab just appear with a javascript animation similar to the one used for the shouts. The tab wouldn't be automatically selected though, it would just have an eye catching animation appearing at the top for the user to easily select and chat PM :)

Oh, I follow you now - my bad :(

That sounds interesting, and also familiar. I think I might have attempted to do it but left it unfinished...


Fillip

It's a good idea, would make the chat alot easier to use and help everyone who doesnt know how to use the shoutbox PM system
Also for the animation, possibly make it blink red lol, i'm thinking something similar to the facebook chat

Thanks for the consideration :)
