[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.

A shoutbox as you would assume, a very simple one to start off with, but does include AJAX Technology, which pushes the shoutbox 1 step closer to live, messages from other people will appear with no refreshing, and so will yours that you post

ON the top of the shotubox? thats built in, i believe, for when you click the 'Smilies' Button, And about them alternating, i think thats a gimmick, not a bug

Is there anyway to add a user's total posts + user's total shouts in postbit?
The shout box I am using is vbshout2.0.

Okay now to my question, what am I missing?

I see this image:



With the fancy edit / delete / statistics stuff, but mine doesn't look like this.


What do I need to be adding?

BTW, my forums so you can see what it looks like (Shoutbox is on the bottom)

Had a notification from my provider that the site was using too much CPU. Found it was due to the shoutbox updating every 10secs or so, how can I set it to update only when a post is made in it?

HELP !!!

I have installed this plug-in into my forum by using [Add/Import Product], but it does not appear at the forum home.

This thread is very long that's why I could not go through all thread to find the solution.

My forum version is 3.7.4 PL1

EDIT: It's working now.
