[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.

The problem has been identified, it's due to older mySQL vesions not recocnizing "ENGINE = MyISAM", the download has been changed so the query will execute "TYPE = MyISAM".

Follow the steps here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....0&postcount=65 to uninstall the product, then download the new zip file which i have uploaded, and proceed with the install using those files

The html marking set for the username in each usergroup.

And yes, their profile.

That's due to your fixed width, if you look in the template: forumhome_vbshout_shout, change the 100% width value to 90%, it should go away then

Just take ther nowrap out of the forumhome_shout_shout template.
