[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

Check the option in vBoptions and view the shoutbox.

our hosts have manually disabled our vbshout.php file as they claim it is the cause of performance issues with our server and other?

I cant see how this could be, our shoutbox is used on our webpage and only viewable/useable by about 30 people at a time since visitors cant even see it ?

Ive already disabled anything fancy like html, smileys , etc .. and we have had no changes to our site in some months - the vbshout stuff has not altered in some years on our site.

Im still waiting an explanation from our hosting on this - but what could make them think its that file?

[majorj0nny]

ive just replaced my php with the one featured a few posts up to see if its any better...
