[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

Another great hack from you...thanks!

I do have a question...everything works great, however, I was just playing with the hack and put in a smilie...The page now continues to refresh over and over??

Any thoughts??

Hmm and for some reason, I have duplicate smilies showing??

[dieselpowered]

Ok maybe something is not correct??

I also do not have any way of editing the shouts...nor do I see anything that looks like this screenshot.

**Disregard...I just need to learn to read all the threads**

Still have that page refreshing all the time as well as duplicate smilies though?

it refreshes all the time so you don't have to to see other shouts..
and the smilies are random, so it is possible to have two of the same smilies

Ok I understand what you are saying about the smilies...

But I am confused at why it is refreshing..."So I don't have to see other shouts?" Don't I want to see other shouts? If I type something and no one can view it, why am I typing it? Does it not work like a chat?

Love the update. Nice work.

If you don't mind, I want to know what else was changed in this 2.0 update besides the archive. Is there an option to disable BOTH vbcodes and HTML at the same time now in this update?

[Javier97Z28]

Man this works great. Thanks! Such an easy install compared to the old days

[leeman]

Sorry to be the one who's repeating ....

Is there plans or is it hard to make it a popup one ....???
