[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.

Thanks. I truly appreciate it.

thank You BlackRabbit1971 for your help

So if i write:

setTimeout('requestShouts()', 1000/s)

It reloads every second

if i write:

setTimeout('requestShouts()', 60000/s)

it reloads every minute right?

if i would write:

setTimeout('requestShouts()', 120000/s)

sorry i have to ask so many times, but i got a really traffic problem...so i have to put it down to 2 minutes reloading or even more...

:nervous:

Almost there... but you have left the /s next to the values....

setTimeout('requestShouts()', 60000)

Should look like that.... for a reload every min...

setTimeout('requestShouts()', 120000)

And like that for 2 mins... ok

Just change the value in the line...

setTimeout('requestShouts()', 10000)

PS.. Always best to keep asking if ya not sure..

[BlackRabbit1971]

Right then.... Aeolian... here goes...

I didn't go about finding how to change the default colour... that was way too annoying... but you can easily limit the colurs your members have a choice of...

Open "Plugin System" > "Plugin Manager" > "vBShout [Template Alteration]"

Find this section >>

PHP Code:

$hex   = array();
$hex[] = '0';
$hex[] = '3';
$hex[] = '6';
$hex[] = '9';
$hex[] = 'C';
$hex[] = 'F';

for ($a = 0; $a < 6; $a++)
{
    for ($b = 0; $b < 6; $b++)
    {
        for ($c = 0; $c < 6; $c++)
        {
            $Options_DropDown['color_selector'][] = '#' . $hex[$a].$hex[$a].$hex[$b].$hex[$b].$hex[$c].$hex[$c];
        }
    }
} 


Replace it with >>>

$Options_DropDown['color_selector'][] = '#00FF00';
$Options_DropDown['color_selector'][] = '#FF0000';
$Options_DropDown['color_selector'][] = '#0000FF';

You can add, change or delete the values in the replace section to your requirements... They will appear in the order that you have them listed..

Go here Colour Picker, to find values for hex colours..

Also... I did a small hack in the same template a while back that displays the colour in the list instead of the colour hash values...

Hope this helps BR

That works like a charm! Thanks a lot! That was a big help!

This thing is in dire need of a way to censor shouts.

[BlackRabbit1971]

Censor shouts?

[uzman59]

how do i add background

[Aeolian_X]

Yeah, censor the cursing in the shoutbox. My filters for the forum do not work in the shoutbox. Maybe I missed something though.

I found out how to work the smilies and graphics, but in myopinion its not good to make it the same variable as signature, now my users can use smilies and grpahics in their signatures what i have never allowed...

Ahhh great now the Smilies are working. But i don't want users to use smilies in the signature (like you).

Is there someone know how to fix this.
