[DragonByte] xFShout [AJAX]

Oops I meant the "happyplace" smilies addon, anyways I tried just adding the template to xfshout, but just the smiles phrase shows up and it doesn't work.

As do I.... I have been messing around with it, no luck yet. From what I have seen at DB, it is going to be a while, if ever, before they port their mods over. I would gladly pay for the pro version if available...

Just popping in to say we are still hoping to port our XF mods over. When we looked last winter it was just going to be too time consuming to be viable. We have more people on board now and will be actively recruiting XF coders over the next couple of months to try to start an XF division going full steam by autumn =)

Sounds good if everything goes the way u and us would like to see

Is there anyway to change the time to an absolute one.... just have it say [Today 6:16PM] instead of [A Moment Ago] then [1 Minute Ago] etc....?

Has anyone tried this with 1.0.4? For some reason when I add "<!--XFSHOUT.1-->" to the template, I get the following:

An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later.

 

[Sheldon]

I have it working on 1.0.4 perfectly...

I would make sure I uploaded all files correctly, installed XML, added that, and made sure permissions were okay. I haven't had many problems out of this, just hoping they release any type of update.

 

[RastaLulz]

Odd, I have reuploaded everything, uninstalled, reinstalled it, disabled all the other add-ons, etc. and I still get the same error when I try to load the forum after adding "<!--XFSHOUT.1-->" to the template.

 

[Sheldon]

Hmmmm. My only guess is you could possibly be adding it into wrong template.

EDIT:
Found out the issue - had to unselect, and reselect all the shout box permissions.

Also, looking to more development on this shout box.

EDIT:

A few suggestions:

• No error message when the server times out.
• No loading bar at the top every time the chat is refreshed.
• The ability to change the time stamp from relative.

You can take the loading bar out yourself by editing the template.

Yeah, I did that.

Just thought I might as well suggest it being removed considering it's unappealing, and most people don't like it anyways.

Just ran across an issue with the Account Upgrades feature and using this mod. Not sure if any other members are using this, but if you do, be careful of the instance permissions you have set..

Ok, I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

I have created an "Account Upgrade". It will take them from say a Registered Member, to a "Fantatic". I am almost certain I have all permissions added correctly. Actually, I think I have tried every combination.

My issue, I can see everything else on my site once this "Fanatic" usergroup is added as additional, except for the fact I have no access to the forums. I can see events, home page, media, everything else. Just not the forums.

Any help?

The knowledge man, Brogan, came in, and got the wheels turning, and this is what I found:

Ok.... I had everything correct on my side. It is an issue with the [Dragonbyte] xf Shout [AJAX]. I had it checked to where both "Registered" and the newly created "Fanatic" group could view. I assume it is an issue if you are in two groups and both have the same permissions with this add-on. I disabled all permissions for the new group, and the account upgrade is now working as it should.

I think it recognizes the main usergroup first. If you have additional, you will have to completely uncheck them.

Thanks for the help Brogan. The permissions got me thinking of everything that could have been a conflict. I just kept looking on the xen side, not any other add-on that may have caused it. My first time working with this upgrade system.

Brogan suggested I add this to the add-on thread, in case others run across this issue.

Any plans to add a "miniature avatar" by each persons name?

I just wanted to warn everyone that xFShout does have an XSS vulnerability.

It can be fixed by opening DBTech/xFShout/ControllerPublic/Shout.php and search for (on line 197 & 198):

$dw->set('message', $input['shout']);
$dw->set('message_parsed', $messages[0]['messageHtml']->__toString());

And replacing it with the following:

$dw->set('message', strip_tags($input['shout'], '<a><img>'));
$dw->set('message_parsed', strip_tags($messages[0]['messageHtml']->__toString(), '<a><img>'));

This will only allow urls and smilies to be used in the shout box.

This mod is basically unsupported and hasn't been updated in over a year now. The only shoutbox style chat that is currently being supported/updated is Taiga Chat.
