[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.

It won't show on every page even if i do that. The code is in the forumhome complete hook, so it will only show on the forums index.

I tryed putting it in the global hook (start and complete) but i ither get an undefined function, or cannot call function again.

I couldn't get it to load on my regular forum so I tried it on my test forum and am getting this:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '<' in /home/southern/mysouthernlady.com/testvb/index.php(454) : eval()'d code on line 1

Plus, it's not showing up at all. My test forum has ONE other plug in installed: New Posts & Threads Since Last Visit. Liz

I get duplicate smilies fairly often. And no, I dont have duplicates in my smiley folder.

Do not upload this as a plug in. Upload it as a product...

That's most likely your problem and everyone else's that says it doesn't work with RC2

how fast is this? does it auto refresh, if so can i change the time

[Boofo]

The pruneshout does not work on shouts llike:

hello there

Also, is there a way to keep the font-size in a controllable range without the big letter shouts?

[plateau]

How to change the name: Shoutbox in the first row of the table?

Cheers!
