[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

Hi,


I was wondering if there is a way to get the total number of shouts to show up on the forum home in the Statistics box? For instance: Threads: XXXX, Posts: XXXX, Shouts: XXXX, Members: XXXX

I have tried adding the $TS like this but I don't know anything about php so I couldn't get it to work:

<div>
$vbphrase[threads]: $totalthreads,
$vbphrase[posts]: $totalposts,
Shouts: $TS,
$vbphrase[members]: $numbermembers<if condition="$show['activemembers']">,

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Thanks,

Jeff

Ok, I just searched for "external" and it didn't yield results I'm looking for.

Now my question is, if I wanted to have the shoutbox on the main page (which isn't running CPMS or VB) is that even possible?

If so, how would I go about doing this? I know I'd have to allow guests and non-registered members the ability to post unless it stored their l/p in a cookie for the domain. But is it possible to have it remotely linked on the main domain seperate?
