[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.

I went back quite a few pages and it seems that Zero Tolerance gave up to support this mod or he is simply to busy .. so I guess I would have to uninstall until I get an answer .. Ah well .. great mod anyway ..

[ohgenki]

i installed the right column hack by amy, how do i put this shoutbox on that place?

[Impulse]

Well whatever he did. The Shoutbox On his site still works. o_O

[bigfoot]

I did'nt read all 114 pages in this thread, so there is a chance this has been posted before.

I use vbShout at my forum. I have a small problem however. Special characters like & are converted to &... how can this be solved ???

I guess it is for disabling HTML-codes in the Shoutbox.

Thanks i advance

[thenewuser]

If I install this can I put it on the bottom of my screen on the main page of vbadvanced?

[ohgenki]

[vbreal]

is there anyway to exclude this from certain styles. this slows down the load time for some users.
