Just a small, but significant update. The tool now checks to see if $user_prefix is set instead of always expecting $prefix to rule :)

Finally! My Who is Where block has been released. This is a super fast tracking mechanism as the data is stored in memory instead of on dasd. This is a lightweight tool and is designed for settable, real time updates that track where a user is, not where they've been. It has purposely been designed for speed and efficiency, not for historical perspectives :)

I have updated my Collapsing Forum Block. The script has been changed to allow the displaying of the Forum and Section when you allow the displaying of Private Forums.

There is a MySQL exploit that can be used to 'mask' the union attack. MySQL and a few other rdbms's allow a comment /* */ to be placed in the Query as a hint to MySQL to override it's determined course. This is being exploited by some kiddies out there. Read about the modification to the mainfile.php code that I'm testing and I welcome your tests too.

UPDATE 4/28/2004: The hackalert download file now includes this fix. There is no need to redownload if you have already applied the fix in the post mentioned above. Thanks to those who tested this!

I have had MANY requests to put together a 7.2 distro like my 7.0 (Raven's 7.0 Pack) which seemed to be very popular - 592 downloads from my site :).

I will include many, if not all, of the same preloaded applications, updated of course. And, there may be some surprises too!

And, as before, I will need a test bed of help. See this post to get on the tester's list if you are interested.

I have been comparing the public release of phpnuke v7.0 (released today at phpnuke.org) with my customized release and I will be releasing an update soon. The only major change is that Web Mail has returned. Other than that there are only a couple of changes, mostly concerning the Survey module scripts and Banners. There are no SQL changes at all. I will be releasing both a full pack and a diff pack of some kind.
