Re: Potential PHP problem - 11 years ago

No. As discussed in the thread I referenced, it was a conflict with ModTiny. A patch was proposed in that thread.

Ok, I'm a dummy and missed part of the discussion in the thread I referenced. Disregard the above since it's already known.

Re: Potential PHP problem - 11 years ago

Ok. I read through this thread: This user was local storing files which I am not currently doing. Nevertheless I made sure that my PHP.ini is set to the same timezone as the server and the problem did not clear. I set Phorum Event Logging to debug and I'm getting the following error: Quote PHP notice: Undefined index: del PHP notice generated at /common.php:2175 Back trace:

Re: Dreamhost security issues - 11 years ago

Well I don't think I'm going to change their mind. I found a work around though. I just figured I'd let the dev team know since Dreamiest is a popular host.

Ok. Thanks. I read through that thread and will try out the suggestions.

Re: Potential PHP problem - 11 years ago

Well I wasn't really sure where the issue was coming from. Now that I know that this may be a Phorum issue and not a problem on my server I'll troubleshoot some more to tease out the exact problem. Tried your search and the only hit I get is my post (i.e this thread). That said, PHP 5.3 has been at end of life since June: . Any potential security issues will not be fixed.

Potential PHP problem - 11 years ago

Has anyone had any issues running Phorum 5.2 under PHP 5.4? I'm experiencing some "quirkiness" with images and trying to narrow down if it's a Phorum core issue, module issue, or something server related.

Re: Dreamhost security issues - 11 years ago

I already did. They said the following: Quote We recommend that you contact the plugin/theme developer of the code that is giving you the issue and have them investigate your code. If any if the scripts you are using are invoking any of the following: wget GLOBALS base64_decode passwd ,amo! ,amo WQGP wqgp a:0:{} curl ../../ our security daemon will prohibit the action, as attackers a

Dreamhost security issues - 11 years ago

Apparently Dreamhost recently updated their security settings since my previously working Phorum install is now failing with this error: ModSecurity: Access denied with code 418 (phase 2). Matched phrase "a:0:{}" at ARGS:attachments. Any ideas on how this can be worked around?

Attachment based module information - 11 years ago

I've been musing writing a module that overrides the existing attachment functionality and allows a per attachment file type size limit. Also the current system of having each forum set it's own attachment permissions, while useful in some settings, is cumbersome when I want to change those settings board wide since I have to individually update the forums that don't inherit from

Re: BBCode [code] tag not formatting correctly - 14 years ago

Further troubleshooting reveals that the semicolon bug is not isolated to just code tags but to all bare URLs that are enclosed in quotes. Turning off bare URL conversion makes this bug go away. I suspect this is our friend htmlspecialchars come back to bite us again.

Re: BBCode [code] tag not formatting correctly - 14 years ago

That makes sense but that semi-colon that's being added to the end of the URL is definitely not supposed to happen.

BBCode [code] tag not formatting correctly - 14 years ago

The BBCode "code" tag is not behaving correctly. Note the following: <link rel="stylesheet" type="css" href="; /> On your forum he url is replaced (I have this turned off on my forum) and also notice the semicolon at the end. It is my understanding that neither of these things should happen inside the code tag.

Re: Attachment management - 14 years ago

That's what I figured. I'll add that to my list of things to do. Thanks.

Attachment management - 14 years ago

Is there a way to have finer granulation in the attachment size limit? For example: JPGs would have a 50k size limit but TXT files would have no file size limit.

Re: Possible bug in the smiley module - 14 years ago

Yeah. The more I thought about, the more I realized that the way it's currently implemented doesn't really work very well. I ended up just turning it off altogether since other inappropriate subs were happen when people posted code snippets, etc...

Re: Possible bug in the smiley module - 14 years ago

Ok I found the bug. The string being passed to the smiley module is "")" I would assume because the subject and body are run through htmlentities() or htmlspecialchars() at some point. The smiley module then does it's text replacement subbing out the ";)" for the winking image. This also means that the error also happens for ">)", "<)&qu

Language files - 14 years ago

I want to change the date format on my install. How do I override default language behavior. I realize that I can just edit the files in includes\lang but those will get overwritten when I install an upgrade. Is there another place I can redeclare the date format (or any language specific declare) without having to worry about it getting overwritten?

Possible bug in the smiley module - 14 years ago

(For illustrative purposes I'm going to use the text for the smiley image where the image would be) For some reason this text: ") is getting converted to: "winking smiley even though ") isn't listed in the module's list of smileys. You can fix this by either adding a space between the " and ) or changing the text for the winking smiley (which I suspect jus

Re: Error with login - 15 years ago

Ok, I've confirmed that this issue is not Phorum related. Sorry for wasting your time. Looking forward to 5.3.

Re: Error with login - 15 years ago

Hmm. Curiously, I just logged in on this Phorum so maybe it's not Phorum at all. I troubleshoot some more. Thanks for your help anyway.

Error with login - 15 years ago

Hi all, First thanks to the developers for such a great product. Anyway on to my problem. I've been happily using Phorum at home and other places where I'm directly connected to the Internet. The problem arises when I try to connect at work. There I'm forced to surf through a proxy (censorship sucks!). When I try to login to the front end of my Phorum install, the proxy s

Re: Module: Breadcrumbs 'Home' to External Site - 15 years ago

Hmm, Ok. Changing the language file is fine but what if I actually want the word "Home" to be "Home" some other place and not the name of my website. Basically what I'm saying is that I can customize the meaning of the word "Home" but at the expense of breaking the intuitive definition of it. Rather that do that, I think it makes more sense to allow the admin

Re: Module: Breadcrumbs 'Home' to External Site - 15 years ago

Rather than have the word "Home", I wanted to customize this text. I hacked the module to allow this. I've attached the modified code.
