[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.

I'd like this enabled for my members, but don't see a way to do so. Can someone help?

Same problem.....
Members see "Edit" "Delete" buttons. The last works fine.
But "Edit" does not. Yes? they can push save button after edit but after refreshing message revert at the first appearence.

4 peoples report in this thread about that but solution not found .

Can someone help me?

I have uninstalled this hack and have installed vBChat rather than using this sucker of my site.

Is there anything around to prevent users from spamming the shoutbox?

[imported_magjr]

Using 3.5.4 is there a way to archive the shouts? I'm using chatbox lite now and people prefer this one.

Helloo everyone where can i find the BUTTON to delete all the shouts in one..


I need that...
I have now 30.000 shouts and can delete it only 1 by 1..

Is there no way to make a BUTTON to select all and delete this SHOUTS at ones..


Regards..

There is no button, but a command. You have to type "/prune".

Please use the search in the future. This has been asked several times. vB has a great search function. In your case "delete shouts" would have returned 50 posts and the 17th has the same question and even the answer.
