[AJAX] vBShout v2.0 · **Released**: 07-27-2005

[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.

[high]End staff edit[/high]

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

A preview is below, i'd estimate a 50 second installation max

Primary Features:
- AJAX Technology (no refreshing)
- Administration control an display element options
- Fast format editor

Change Log::

- v1.1:
WOL (Who's Online) Correction

- v1.2:

- Change location/position of shoutbox
- Change number of shouts displayed
- Switch vbcode/similes on/off

- v1.3
Firefox javascript issue fixed
New Admin Controls

- Command Activation
- Swtch extra format options on/off
- Change position of editor (above/below messages)

New Commands

- /prune (Clears the shoutbox completely)
- /prune [username] (Clears all shouts posted by specified user)

- v1.4
Usergroup HTML Markup For Usernames
Clear Editor Button
Emoticons Pop Up Menu
Time display configurated to vBulletin settings
Username Links To Profile
New Admin Conrols

New vBShout Position (Directly Above Forums)
Banned Users

- v1.5
Improved Smilies Display
XHTML 1.0 Transitional Valid (couple of errors fixed)
New Admin Options

Shoutbox Height
Smilies To Show
Shout Messages Order
Banned Permissions (fixed)

- v1.6
Bug Fixes:

- Unable to delete shouts that used /me command fixed
- Shouts being displayed from bottom-upwards only showed first 20 shouts

Automatically parses URL's

- v2.0
New Archive

- Displays shouts and pages

Enjoy,

- Zero Tolerance

Thats a point actually! Stupid question........ if they collapse it, does that mean it doesnt load the shoutbox at all when the page is loaded? or does it load the shoutbox, just not display it?

I've never noticed a performance hit on my website with it collapsed. It may still load it, but as long as its collapsed, anytime they visit the site, it will remain collapsed.

But that duplicate smiley issue REALLY needs to be fixed. Otherwise, its a neat little box!

morning folks, i have vbShout 2.0 installed, but i can't get to the archive, the shoutbox link isn't clickable.

whats the code to make the like clickable and where do i put it?

also, i don't have [edit][delete][add settings] when i go to vbshout options in the general options control panel

I changed the basic layout of the archive page and added a footer to the template, like I do with all the other hacks to make them look more streamlined with the forums. Screenshot is included.

You can test the vBShout out yourself at my site if you wish, too(see my sig for a link).

Error in RC3

this error on shoutbox an then the user is logout

15Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /vbshout.php on line 288

Vizionz · #**458** 09-09-2005, 05:30 AM

works fine for me i just doing it from scratch though so maybe just remove it and reinstall

Boofo · #**459** 09-09-2005, 05:34 AM

Is there a way to have smilies show up as inline images (class="inlineimg") like it does in the shout edit/delete area? That would help with shouts where smilies throw the line off.

Schwartz12 · #**460** 09-09-2005, 11:56 AM

not sure if this has been answered, but any chance on replicating this into a chatroom system?

It's really good. My users absolutely love it.

Mainly I would just want it on a seperate page than the homepage and have a "users in the chat" on the homepage.

But I believe the AJAX part is what people like about it.

Is AJAX very server intensive?

Just go to options and choose to hide completely Shoutbox for users who have no permissions to view shouts.
