vB Chatbox 1.2.4

What this hack does : Adds a box on top of your vB home page
where all members can chat/shout in an IRC like way, with all the
vB options added (smilies, vBcodes....)

I started this hack by modifying the shoutbox made by Doug
Tanner for phpnuke (i think).. And it went far far from his original
code. As far as i think he wouldn't recognize it .

I integrated it as far as i could with vB, and in the admin CP,
with every bit of it being possible to modify trough the admin
CP (prune, ban, censure...)...

SCREENSHOT

This hack has been tested and used by some people out
there in france .

1.2.4 changes :
Install problems with the mysql reserved words solved,
Uninstalling option added to the install script,
Possibility to automaticaly add the templates to the
templatesets you chose in the install script,
IE6 problem with divs solved,
timezoneoffset mod integrated,
text input limited to 255 characters.

1.2.3 changes :
security hole on the pruning of the admin part fixed.

1.2.2 changes :
templatesused var filled with all templates used by the
script in the shoutbox.php file and in the index.php file.
And chmod 777 made on the admin/shoutbox_config.php file
by the install script. Thanks to erwin

Name changed from shoutbox to chatbox, because some people
thought of this hack as related with TWT-commish's shoutbox...
no more excuses


Here is some sort of [high]FAQ[/high] from all the thread,
hope this helps, and prevents you from reading all that i just read :

[high]#----------------------------------------------------------#[/high]
Erwin : limit of smilies a person can post in the shoutbox.
This is to prevent smilie spamming : HERE
[high]#----------------------------------------------------------#[/high]
Erwin : Another tip for installers - instead of manually having to
ban users in the shoutbox, to automatically ban users who
you have already banned from the forums : HERE
[high]#----------------------------------------------------------#[/high]
For the shoutbox to be in a popup : HERE
[high]#----------------------------------------------------------#[/high]
To have 5 'shouts/chats' visible when the chatbox is reduced :
HERE
[high]#----------------------------------------------------------#[/high]
SpeedStreet : This simply creates a link for people to click on so
that they can easily view the 'Who's Online' page without
having to dig for it : HERE
[high]#----------------------------------------------------------#[/high]
ThoughtDiver: if you want the date format on the shout timestamps
to read Month/Day instead of Day/Month : HERE

Thanks for the hack, and thanks again for the fix for the exploit. I think I can live with broken smilies (my users barely ever use smilies anyway!)

And don't be shy! There is nothing wrong with your english. I can understand your typing just fine. Now if I had to try to type in FRENCH....oi oi oi

When I extract the file, there's nothing in the subfolders :/

@ geniuscrew : i just tried from my workplace, so there's no
chance of the file being in my cache, and everything is in place....
each file is in its folder ... Maybe you should empty your IE
cache....... i'm just guessing.

@ glenvw : i think you should take a read on that thread,
that question has already been answered.

Does anyone know if this hack is working on vb 2.30 and does anyone have a english speaking forum using the hack so that i may see it in all its glory?

Thanks in advance for any replys
