vB Shoutbox 1.0 · **Released**: 05-15-2002

Well, people wanted it, so here it is: a vB-integrated Shoutbox. It's a little different than the one they used to have on this site, however. The moderation functions are VERY basic...but they'll be improved for 2.0, most likely, if there's any interest.

A short breakdown:

It's a chatroom-esque page that everyone can use.
Shouts that day, shouts in last 24 hours, shouts by YOU, and total shouts, are all tracked.
Leaderboard (top shouters) is tracked.
Clickable smilies automatically added below the add shout box.
"delete" link shown on all shouts if you're an admin or a moderator (usergroupids 5, 6, and 7 by default).
bbCode parsing included.

Attached is an archive containing all the files you'll need for the basic installation, AND for the optional features. NOTE: the vBHacker compatible file included within does NOT constitute a full installation. You'll still need to upload the shoutbox.php file to your main forums directory.

Enjoy. Here's a live demo: http://www.movieforums.net/shoutbox.php

Advice to stop HTML beeing used in shoutbox, as tested by MaDCaT75 and so far works

In the shoutbox.php file find

PHP Code:


			
[size=2]shout_text = '".addslashes($message)."',[/size]

and change too

PHP Code:


			
[size=2]shout_text = '".htmlentities(addslashes($message))."',

[/size]

[sidenote] This is my first proper bit of PHP help Horray!![/sidenote]

what about users who like to make ridiculously long shouts or put 30000000 smilies in there?

Surly you could pinch the code that stops you putting 30,000 smileys into posts :/

Yes I am sick of banning people who ignore my warnings about this.

I installed the hack but whenever I try to post a shout it takes me to shoutbox.php in the directory below the one the file's actually in.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
