[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.

Is this working on 3.7?

Hello, I logged onto my forum last night after a long day of work, and found out that my forum's modification vBShout was turned off by a fellow admin because of fighting. Today we resolved the problems and I discussed with him ways of keeping it up, and we came to an agreement. He's always wanted to shut the shoutbox off, and now I think something needs to be done.

I logged onto my forum moments ago after getting home, and I found out that I cannot even edit the shoutbox options via VBulletin Options in the ACP. I get a 404 error that says:

Not Acceptable
An appropriate representation of the requested resource /forums/admincp/options.php could not be found on this server.

But I have the file on the server. Does anyone know of any way I can fix this? Also, anyone know of a way if I can find out what caused this? Thanks in advance.

BTW, for reference, I am using vBShout 2.0 and vBulletin 3.6.8

Also, the shoutbox just shows the "Loading..." text.

It should show default on the forum home page. If it dosen't you did something wrong, be sure to check vboptions.
