[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.

I've searched for sometime and can not find it.

How does staff edit and delete shouts? It says there is a list of admin commands in this thread. Where is the list?

I am experiencing two problems. Hoping someone can clear them up for me.

1. Former admins can still use the prune feature. For the life of me I cant figure out why. They are just regular users now and I have confirmed that just the two former admins can do this.

2. I want to restrict certain staff members from pruning. How do I shut this off?

I honestly have looked EVERYWHERE........

Many thanks in advance.

I need a little insight. Some how another admin added two shoutboxes on the current website. This has generated this error "Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in [path]/includes/functions.php(1443) : eval()'d code on line 5" , which doesn't allow access to the admincp. Does anybody have an idea how to disable the shoutboxes without access to the admincp? There must be a file or folder that I can move in the Cpanel that will allow me to get into the admincp again. Searching for the error gives me nothing I can use.

Is there a way to only show the shoutbox in one set of forums

Like in the general chat area of a site?
