[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

I need both disabled to disallow members from posting images and large text, etc. it's very important so if anyone could help me out I will be very appriciative.

still looking for answers Let me know

Top tool. Just wondering......

is it possible to get a default set of smileys instead of random ones when the page is refreshed??

and the shoutbox font size, which propertly in the stylesheet controls this?


Other than that fantastic. No problems installing. Thanks a lot

Hi, great hack... thanks.

Is it posible to add an option for limiting the number of shouts per day for a single user/usergroup?

[monstergamer]

hey ZT, members want it where they can go to the to the profile and change the defult font/color so every time they come back they dont have to change it

[sajjid]
