[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.

I'd like to also know how to close the shoutbox by default.

No. The shoutbox totals are calculated live on archive page view, so if a user only has made 20 shouts since the last cron-prune then that's all they will have listed.

However, that works really well for my boards because the users use post count as a measure of "board contribution" and shoutbox counts as a measure of "how much free time did you have in the past week" (I prune older than 7 days). I use the shoutbox to catch all the drivel that might otherwise have made it onto the boards proper.

I have it on 3.6 b4. Running fine. No problems whatsoever.

I received an error when changing some of the options, but it works well with the default settings. Although it doesn't render quotation marks.

Hello, can someone tell me how may I make vbshout to log all the shouts in a file, or page?
I do not mean the archive page, but something more simple, do you have something in mind?
Thank you

I have installed vbshout on our forum. It's working except that I banned certian usergroups from viewing the posts. When I am not logged in, as a guest, I keep getting an error in that section.

PHP Code:

Warning: array_reverse(): The argument should be an array in /vbshout.php on line 287

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /vbshout.php on line 293 


Anyone know what could be wrong? Thanks!
