[AJAX] vBShout v2.0 · **Released**: 07-27-2005

[high]Staff Edit/Update[/high]

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.

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

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.

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.

Are guests able to use the shoutbox? Is there a way to restrict its usage to certain usergroups?

cuphongle · #97 07-30-2005, 05:13 PM

Ok, do like he told me to do. Make the table manually, then un-install the product and re-install it.
