[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.

Can I make this Shoutbox appear on all standard forum pages?

Yes I assume that's a bug with the hack itself. When my members are viewing the forums homepage, it shows up as "Viewing The Shoutbox". Is there a fix to that please?

Great Hack thx, installed and nearly working fine.

2 Problems though.

Graphics like smilies are not showing, images ( img code ) are not shown only urls are working. Even though everything is set properly.

The reload of the shoutbox is far too often and brings up the traffic...how can i reduce the reloads? Esp. in firefox it is also looking anoying with every reload, its like a flackering of the monitor but only in the box.

ah, one thing else, when pruned via "/prune" all numbers of counters/shouts of the users ( who shouted are deleted as well.
Is there a possibility that those counts are remainung even after the shouts have been deleted?

Thx for any help!

Edit: 21.33

I found out how to work the smilies and graphics, but in myopinion its not good to make it the same variable as signature, now my users can use smilies and grpahics in their signatures what i have never allowed...

Quote:

To fix the smilies, go to your vBulletin options -> User Profile Options and choose yes for Allow Smilies in Signatures, now you have smilies

Still the reload thing, any Help is appriciated...

Users can not delete their own shouts.

Is there any update on this product ZT?

This thing is awesome, but one thing I don't like is the font color selection. I'd rather only have available the colors that I want to be selected. This will keep people from selecting light colors to use on my white backgrounds. Any way to do this? Any help is appreciated.

Yes it helps, but what does that do?
I changed 10000 to 1000/s

Is it reloading still? Or just every 1000 seconds?
Sorry for that dumb question...

Sorry, Wolfgang..... this is how often it reloads and the number is seconds in 1000ths of a second... thus...

1000 = reloads every second
10000 = Every 10 Seconds (the default number)
30000 = Every 30 Seconds
60000 = Every min

Hope this is clearer..

Yes looking at the template, it should be possible... I'll have a look later when I'm in from work...
