[AJAX] vBShout v2.0

[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

It works on my test board running vb 3.6 beta 2, but using the image tags within it doesn't. It effectively ignores them, and just changes the location into a link. It's one of the only things holding me back from upgrading, but i'll live until there's a proper release of 3.6, methinks.

dude are there any fixes for use safari users?

[hassi]

i also have word wrap installed but it ends like this:

link][IMG]link[/img][/url]

code replacement should be correct.

can someone help me?

you see, first bracket is missing before the link]. i understand this should be [url] instead of link]

my code lines are as follows (sir yaros replacement):

PHP Code:

$Shout['s_shout'] = ereg_replace("[a-zA-Z]+://([-]*[.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-?&%])*", "[URL=\\0]link[/URL]", $Shout['s_shout']);
$Shout['s_shout'] = ereg_replace("(^| )(www([-]*[.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-?&%])*)", "\\1[URL=http://\\2]link[/URL]", $Shout['s_shout']); 


inserted just before

$Shout['time'] = buildTime($Shout['s_time']);

second insert done is:

if ($Shout['s_shout'])
{
$Shout['s_shout'] = wordwrap($Shout['s_shout'], 80 , "\n" ,1);
}

just after:

if ($Shout['data']['italic'])
{
$Shout['style'] .= 'font-style:'.$Shout['data']['italic'].';';
}

i made both inserts in the vbshout.php in 2 places. once for the grabbing of latest shouts and as well as for the displayed archive.

where's the error ?

[rogersnm]

The img errors can be fixed with a fwe tempalte eidts and seeing as zt is currently a bit busy with other things and was "Last Online: Jan 2006" Then i don't think that will be coming out any time soon.
