[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

No, unfortunately it was removed. You can try the flatfile version at vbhackers.

I searched a bit.

I found 3 posts with possible ways to fix... I'm not sure which one I used myself, probably this one:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=1190

2 other (different) ways:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=2321

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=2322


Try them and tell me if some of them work.

Yes, because of the use of the flatfile system rather than the database that is the way it works. If you do not want that you could optionally remove the time stamp all together.

Damn that's weird.. Anyway I didn't use this "fix".


I'm pretty sure there was attached vbshout.php with the fix in this thread too...

Is the large table height fixed now?
