[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

Guys, I made a goof when I made a small edit in the .xml to re-upload, however forgot to uninstall it first to overwrite this plugin and screwed up my database :

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.1:

Invalid SQL:
CREATE TABLE `vb_shout` (
`sid` int(15) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`s_by` int(15) NOT NULL default '0',
`s_time` int(15) NOT NULL default '0',
`s_shout` text NOT NULL,
`s_data` text NOT NULL,
`s_me` tinyint(2) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`sid`)
) TYPE=MyISAM;;

MySQL Error : Table 'vb_shout' already exists

No, it is no longer there as an "Installed Product", so it's now written to mysql, however I have no idea how to edit/remove it.

I have installed this along with the vbadvanced CMPS add-on..
How do I only show this in my CMPS but not anywhere in my forums.

I ended up dropping the table in mysql, and then reinstalled the .xml file and it worked like a charm.

Hey guys, I just found this hack and LOVE it but I was wondering if there was any type of flood protection? Basically I dont want someone posting constantly like every second. I was hoping to set it to like 30 seconds or 45 seconds between shouts... is this possible? I read through most of the 50 plus pages but didnt see anything... Thanks in advance!
