[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.

Please take note that the default flat version takes away time stamps and a few other details that this shoutbox has now.

Hi,

I have recently installed a shoutbox on my vb board. Its not complete though. Can someone please tell me how I can:

a.) Have the names of the shouter underlined and bolded; and
b.) Have the time of the shout displayed in the shoutbox itself (without having to click the word shoutbox in order to find this information out)?

Thanks,

Alex

The easier way for these features would be to install ZT's updated version of vBShout.

If you feel that you want much more, try his Pro Version

I think I already have gone basic. My forum is www.ozchess.com.au - Could someone please tell me what I need to do to bold or underline the name of the shouter and have the times of the shouts displayed in the shoutbox? Surely a whole new install isn't required for that, hopefully -

[jerseyda6]

got a couple questions...

how can i stop people from editing their own and other peoples shout.

can i set it so only admins can prune and edit shouts only not mods?

thanks
