[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.

Try clicking on the bit at the top that says SHOUTBOX or go to www.yoursite.com/forum/vbshout.php?do=archive and check that out

need wordcut wrap

This seems not to be working for me at the time. I was making a post bit edit and when I went to check my forums it was missing. What could have caused this?

EDIT: It shows up in the arcade, but not anywhere else.

[DjTaz]

Da420 - is it a standard install you have done , or have you edited it to add things in ?

If you added in the arcades using one of the changes i suggested , then i think first thing is to re-read what i posted because its very easy to replace something when you were meant to add under it , or things like that... It will seem to disappear from threads if u dont do things exactly because it uses a REPLACE system .... its really hard to tell whats wrong without more info.

Lol yeah it is - that Clear button is to clear what you typed into the textbox Before you submit it .... its a mistake most people seem to make , but all your members see that button , so you wouldnt want them clearing all the messages.

Try typing /prune and that should do what you want.

kewl mod, works like a charm

[utw-Mephisto]

I searched all pages, I asked several times and I saw on a forum that it is indeed possible.

How can I put the shoutbox in one forum only ?

[da420]

Thanks, it works now, but;

Whenever a user or anyone types in a quotation mark ( " ) and hit shout, they get this; """

What could be the issue??

Thanks in advance.
