[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.

Great hack! my members love it
using on 3.6.2

Is it possible to put a [more] link for extra smilies?
I've tried the following but it doesn't work

<div>[<a href="misc.php?do=getsmilies" target="new" onclick=".open_smilie_window(smiliewindow_x, smiliewindow_y); return false">Smilies</a>]</div>

It pops up the window but i can't click on the smilies. It doesn't return the bbcode to the text box.

Any ideas? i'm crap at this stuff

Sure - it is based on a new System.

Timer is still there - just klick on Shoutboux above the Shoutbox!

Anyway, its a minor change

I installed this hack on 3.6.2 and it works, but I remember on my old board (old version) it listed the times of each hack. Is there a way to do this here? It just looks funny to me to not see the time of the shouts.

Klick on Shoutbox at the Head of the Shoutbox !

/forum/vbshout.php?do=archive

Which one did you installed ? The old one here or the new one at vbhackers ?

And, an fyi... I tried to make my guests a "banned" group so they could see the shoutbox but not read what's in it. Doesn't work. I logged out and viewed as a guest. They can still see the box and the messages, they just can't add a message to it.

Thanks for that!

I am talking about on the actual main shoutbox page. When someone types a shout, I could have sworn it timestamped it under the username of when the shout was made. (not just on the archieve page)
