Text not showing when I type, posts not showing when I submit.

SkismaSkisma New
in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

Hey,

I've seen a hand full of others post about this issue in the past and am wondering what I need to do to fix it. I have Van2Shout enabled and it is showing on the discussions page, but there is no function whatsoever. I'm experiencing this problem in the latest version, 1.061. I have permissions setup for all roles and javascript isn't disabled. For me, nothing is showing up. I don't see my text or anything when I hit the send button.

You can access this at: http://forgehaven.com/forums/discussions

Here are two images of what happens before, during and after:

This is what I see before and after I submit something. Note: In this image I have already typed "This is a test".

This is what happens when I click send.

    Try this one and report if it works for you. Remember to set permissions

    This version worked! ...but it's in the sidebar and needs some reformatting, but it works! :)

    I suspect there may be a bug with the latest version then.

    For the emoji cheat sheet you need to change line 142 to this

    <script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
    $('#van2shout.Box').append('<a class="Popup" href="plugins/Van2Shout/emoji.html">Emoji Cheatsheet</a>'); 
});
</script>

    Ok thanks! Hey quick question, a user of mine asked if this shoutbox was sql injection proof. I know you're not caerostris, but could you provide some insight here?

    I had no clue what it was so I looked it up and found this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL_injection

    So, it's essentially a virus of some sort? Do shoutboxes typically make sites more vulnerable to this kind of attack?

    @vrijvlinder Line 142 of which file?

    The discussionscontroller.php in the plugin views folder

    You can make the shoutbox appear bellow the content by changing this line in the default.php of the plugin from this

    define('VAN2SHOUT_ASSETTARGET', 'Panel');

    to this

    define('VAN2SHOUT_ASSETTARGET', 'Content');

    or this

    define('VAN2SHOUT_ASSETTARGET', 'Foot');

    To change the size of the cheat sheet edit the emoji.html file and change the width to 90% or whatever works best for your theme.
