[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.

You can create a Usergroup promotions to accomplish this.

i installed this a couple of weeks ago all is well but i noticed in the server logs if someone has the forum open in there browser and forget about it (tabbed browsing) or if the user becomes idle then for the next few hours or more they would have called the vbshoutbox.php file hundreds of times.

So i would like the coders to make it timeout for example. if a member or unregistered user hangs around on a page with vbshout (i have vba) and they dont make a shout within 10 or 15 minutes or the user is idle then the vbsoutbox will stop refreshing.

http://dontstayin.com has a chat system like vbshout but better that stops after a few minutes if you are idle.

i'm thinking it wouldn't be that hard for a coder to add this?
