[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.

Hi there, I'm having a problem with my forum (www.habbomedia.net) when a user is clicked it says they're viewing the shoutbox instead of saying 'viewing homepage' is there a way I can change this?

Thanks!

[rogersnm]

Can you give me vB options and template access? pm me.

[rogersnm]

yes, you can edit a plugin, do you mean when they type in the shoutbox window?

Can anyone who has been using vbshout for a long time recommend a hosting company that wont make you remove the script for overloading their server!

Thanks
