[AJAX] vBShout v2.0 · **Released**: 07-27-2005

[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.

[high]End staff edit[/high]

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

I mention this for informational purposes. I've come to realize that none of us should expect to get any more help with this hack from its author. As far as I can tell, Zero Tolerance hasn't posted in this thread since August 27, and the "support" checkbox is not ticked. I guess we can help each other, but it'd be nice to get help from the guy who should know this hack better than anyone else.

I know sometimes coders pick up abandoned projects. Would it be possible for somebody to do this (and would you please

). On top of the issue above, I'd really like to see a feature that would allow you to see "select" smiles, or maybe an option to show "all" or something like that. I also notice that the "random" option will quite often show the same smile 2 or 3 times sometimes.

It's an excellent shoutbox, and I'm happy with what I/we have, but those fixes/options would make it just that much more sweeter.

I don't think I'm capable of taking over this hack. I wrote some pretty big hacks for vBulletin 2.0, like the original Weather hack and one of the early XML-news-parsing hacks, and some other smaller stuff. But I got out of it for a while, and I've only just recently gotten back into things. I'm starting off small and learning the new stuff and re-learning the old stuff. I don't know anything about how AJAX works, and that's a major part of this hack. I don't have any idea how to fix the major issue I'm complaining about, which is the inaccurate Who's Online. The smilies issue is probably pretty easy. But I'd feel more comfortable getting permission from Zero Tolerance first. Maybe I'll PM him and see if he has any intention of supporting this hack, what he thinks about someone else taking over, or maybe he's working on a new version of something. We'll see...

I know he released revised versions of a couple of his MODs today (Don't remember which, but I just remember his name). Anyway hopefully he'll update this puppy as well. In any case, I sure hope one way or another, this mod goes on, and at least somebody can support it/release bug fixes.

Like I said, even if it didn't get fixed, it's still excellent!

And JJR512: I wasn't meaning you specifically. Just any coder that is familiar with this stuff, and would be willing to at least attempt to get permission from ZT. Hopefully ZT will come back and there's no need for somebody to take over and get permission

Take it easy

works fine for me and im sure most on 3.5.0
dont really see a need for this hack to be updated any longer

Wachtmeister · #**617** 10-06-2005, 08:21 AM

I have a problem seeing all users into the shoutbox on WOL status. I've posted this into the "Shoutbox on all pages" Thread, but i think the problem could be into the main shoutbox

Please read https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....1&postcount=36

Maybe it is possible to change the WOL handling, that the WOL status is just updated, when users click "into" the shoutbox to view the details?

RaceJunkie · #**618** 10-06-2005, 01:12 PM

Where is the c/p for this like the pics show?
