[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.

when i ban a usergroup from viewing the shoutboc, they are getting this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: isbanned() in /home/SITE/public_html/forum/global.php(349) : eval()'d code on line 112

Awesome hack, just installed, worked perfectly, including the 'who's shouting' hack addon.

Any chance of being able to control what vbcode can be used?

I don't want html, or img for example, but do want smilies..

How about a way to adjust the shoutbox size, from the users end?

[username12]

Any way to make it so mods can't edit people's shouts? I actually don't even know how they're doing it, but I'd like to restrict it to admins only (or nobody).

Replace it with:

$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY'] = str_replace('$navbar', '$navbar' . ' $Shoutbox', $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY']);

This is a quick and dirty hack. The shoutbox will only show up under navbar!

3) If you want the shoutbox to show up only in certain forums:

a. add
if ($forumid ==13)
{

In the beginning of the above plugin. 13 is the forum ID you want the shoutbox to show.

b. add
}

in the end of the code.

Any way to get it so it displays at the bottom as opposed ot the top? I wanted to get the shoutbox on the forum home, and in one of my subforums at the bottom.

I installed it. Awesome mod. How do I remove the Color and Font Face scroll boxes?

yoursite.com/admcp -> styles and templates -> template manager -> edit templates (at the top in the drop down) -> forumhome templates -> forumhome_vbShout

find:

<select name='font_color' onchange='sb_PropChange(this, "color")'>
								{$DropDowns['color_selector']}
							</select>
							<select name='font_selector' onchange='sb_PropChange(this, "fontFamily")'>
								{$DropDowns['font_selector']}
							</select>

and add this before:

<if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(numbers of usergroupID's seperated by comma))">

..if you want to restrict the options to a sertain number of usergropus or

<if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo['userid'], array(numbers of userID's seperated by comma))">

..if you want to restrict the options to a sertain number of users

Don't forget to add </if> after the color and font code !
