[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

I haved it Installed! run in Vb 3.5.1 but I don't see the smilies, only the code.

any help?
thanks.

[predatorkill]

installed on 3.5.1 all works perfectly!

Because i cant search through 53 pages,can someone tell me how i can moderate the Shoutbox?

If a user is typing "bad words",how i can erase them?I know i can put cesnorship
phrases,but sometimes i must erase something "on the fly"!

Thank you very much for this great plugin!

thank you

[predatorkill]

The only issue i ve found is this:

When in Banned Usergroups i put the ID of the Unregistered/Not Logged in users
i get this error when i m not logged in:

"Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /vbshout.php on line 288"

Any solution?Thanks!

EDIT:I ve solved it,i ve just changed the
"Banned Permissions
Choose access permissions for banned users, by default they will not be able to post shouts."

FROM:Can view shoutbox but not messages
TO:Can view shoutbox and messages

Can someone please post all the commands?? Like "/prune" etc. I cant search all 53 pages to find them!

[xxskullxx]

All the commands are right there in the first post.

Think I might have a quick fix on the "viewing the shoutbox"...

Go to your plugin manager and find... WOL Config [Part A] - edit it
change
$userinfo['action'] = 'Viewing The Shoutbox';
to
$userinfo['action'] = 'Viewing The Forums';

I am not 100% this works, but it looks like it does. I'm also looking into changing the font as well. Can someone test this out to see if this works?

[ztempuser]

where is the full list of Commands for shoutbox?

[bspiller82]

Does shout box use a lot of mysql connections? I setup a mirrior site on a diffrent host and it seems to be giving me this error a lot.

Database error in vBulletin :

mysql_connect(): Too many connections /home/a247xtre/public_html/forums/includes/class_core.php on line 273

As far as I can tell, there are only 2 commands... /me and /prune (with variants of the latter).
