Bug Just Upgraded to VBshout 5.4 - Shout is now broken

[Fillip H.]

Are you running Suhosin on your server?

 

[Haltech]

Yes, i am.

 

[Fillip H.]

Could you please try either disabling it outright or setting the suhosin.simulation directive to on?

We believe the reason you're having this issue is the fact that with the Instance Management being consolidated into the one-stop shop for all your instance management needs, we stepped over the "number of form elements before this script is an evil hacker script" limit Suhosin imposes.

Setting that directive will allow us to confirm or deny this theory without reducing the security of your site - any actual malicious scripts will still be logged

See this FAQ entry for more info: http://www.hardened-php.net/suhosin...tion_break_because_suhosin_is_too_restrictive

Something else you may want to try:

The recommended settings for vbulletin are:

(you can use .htaccess files to override the max vars setting):
php_flag suhosin.cookie.encrypt Off
php_value suhosin.request.max_vars 2048
php_value suhosin.post.max_vars 2048

added this into php:

; Misc Options
suhosin.simulation = On

And settings will now write! So definitely has to do with your all in one. I am not sure how many people use suhosin but after being attached, i do.

 

[Fillip H.]

We will attempt to work around this for 5.4.1

What we will do is, separate the "Instance Settings", "Instance Permissions" and "BBCode Permissions" into three separate forms.

Once it's released, we'd appreciate your feedback on whether this solves the issue

 

[Haltech]

Well i am probably the only forum you will know that generally has between 12-35 people in shout at all times during the day and evening. So, if you would like for me to test all of the newest stuff, lemme know

One thing though, i went to disable the shout instance to place the new VAR in my template and it wont show up. I used {$show[vbshout][instance1]} , disabled in the settings and she wont pop up. If i use the default below navbar, it shows, but it is above my ad's and donation bar, which sucks.

 

[Fillip H.]

Yeah unfortunately there's a conflict with InfoPanels when using that method.

When you have v5.4.1 installed, please use {$show[vbshout_instance1]} instead

It may work for you right now, depending on when you downloaded the product (sorry! ) but it and the description text will be updated for 5.4.1

Fillip, there is def something weird going on with the change in VAR and how its displaying. I run several other mods for donations, vbdownloads, etc and they have links in the navbar. I just noticed, once we got the new version of shout working last night, it removed all of the links for my donation system, quick links, vbdownloads, forum rules,etc from the navbar, as if the template was reverted. Since i didnt see some of the mods in the navbar while testing shout with the suhoin edits, i reinstalled one xml to get the link back to the navbar.. it completely removed the shout from the system... Once i disabled vbshout, the old nabvar with all of the links as they originally were, pulled right up. So, im going to say there is something going on with the varname and how it was implemented. the old var system worked flawless.

 

[Fillip H.]

The problem with the old var system was that it required people to know the script names and template names.

Could you link me to one of those mods? I'll see if I can work out what's going on

 

[Haltech]

Here you go... i run the donation, subscript and poker... Then the rest of the stuff is DB-Tech

I've fixed this issue in one of the 5.4.x builds, if you grab the latest one then everything should be okay

 

[Haltech]

Ok Fillipe, lemme give this a whirl and see what happens.

Ok, i got all working.. i just have one issue with the loading of the SB on a screen refresh or when a user goes back to forums home template to view the SB. It will show loading until you type something. I think is has to do with the idle settings. I didnt have the issue until i set permissions for which usergroup would have idle permissions.

Also font size doesnt change with IE 8.0

 

[Haltech]

Any updates mate?

 

[Fillip H.]

Check the news forum, there's been a couple of updates
