Since the development of Geeklog 1.3.12 takes much longer than anticipated, we thought we'd make some of the security enhancements and improved spam protection we developed for 1.3.12 available to users of Geeklog 1.3.11. We also threw in a few bugfixes.

Added a login speed limit, kicking in after 3 failed login attempts (configurable in config.php).
Filter linefeeds from the To:, From:, and Subject: fields of any email sent through COM_mail.
Checks for spam are now done for comments, story, link, and event submissions, the message sent with the "email story to a friend" option, and for the contents of the user profile.
Spammers get a 403 HTTP response code now and have to wait for the submission speed limit to expire.
Spam-X plugin 1.0.2 included (with the default URL for MT-Blacklist changed to geeklog.net, due to MT-Blacklist being discontinued).

Bugfixes include a fix for a problem with PHP 5.0.5, better handling of special characters in email addresses, a fix for the staticpage: autotag throwing an SQL error, updated kses filter, and a few more.

See the list of changes for more information.

As usual, we provide an upgrade from 1.3.11sr1 and a complete 1.3.11sr2 tarball.

looks like the new kses.class.php and forum 2.5 don't like each other.

Geeklog 1.3.11sr2 and Bad Behavior

Authored by: Dirk on Monday, October 10 2005 @ 01:49 AM EDT

You probably forgot to add the extra line for Bad Behavior to the updated lib-common.php

bye, Dirk

Ohyah.

Thanks :)

Are you ever going to release a version that does not require you to enable register_globals?

I'm on a shared host and we can't do that.

Love the program, wish I could try it.

Hello,
I read the README included with the geeklog-1.3.11sr2 upgrade file from geeklog-1.3.11sr1, and I can see any installation istructions, there's any help with this?
thanks

I upgraded, and now, when I go to edit a static page, I get the message:
URL Class: number of names passed to setArgNames must be equal or greater
than number of arguments found in URL

Thoughts?

See the ongoing discussion here.

After the upgrade whenever I try to move stories from one topic to another I get an error "The ID you chose for this story is already in use. Please use another ID."

Any idea why? I can save, edit, delete, etc. Just not move from one topic to another.

Thanks.

Authored by: chief123 on Monday, October 17 2005 @ 06:37 AM EDT

To follow my previous comment I just noticed that I can't change stories (edit grammar, etc.) without getting the ID error either.

Authored by: Dirk on Monday, October 17 2005 @ 02:34 PM EDT

I don't think it has anything to do with the 1.3.11sr2 update: The ID you chose for this story is already in use.

I did a new install of ver 1.2.11sr2, using CentOS 4.2 (which is equivalent to Redhat RHE4) and I noticed the following:

1. I set "Remember Me For" 1 Month. Yet, when I log out, sometimes it seem to requrie that I re-sign in.
2. When I log into another Geeklog site, my own site requires that I login in again.

I don't have problems with ver 1.3.11sr1 so I am wondering if it is due to this version or if it is due to CentOS 4.2. Or just a cookie issue on my PC...

Any comments, anyone?

Try changing your cookie value in config.php

Geeklog 1.3.9 Update

Authored by: jbpaul17 on Saturday, October 29 2005 @ 02:58 PM EDT

Are there any related updates to Geeklog 1.3.9? I'm at 1.3.9sr4 and am curious if there are any security holes that I can plug with this update. Or is there an update from 1.3.9sr4 to 1.3.11?

Well, of course there's an upgrade from 1.3.9 to 1.3.11: Download the 1.3.11sr2 tarball and follow the upgrade instructions.

I guess if there's enough demand, we could release an update for 1.3.9 that includes the first two improvements (login speed limit and filtering of linefeeds), but the changes for the spam filtering are almost impossible to back-port.

I just upgraded from 1.3.8 to 1.3.11sr2 and it went very smoothly. Just remember to backup your database. I also disable the plugins except for static pages until after the upgrade is done then re-enable them one at a time.

Running 1.3.10 -- can I jump right up to 1.3.11 sr2 or do I have to do it incrementally?

Authored by: Dirk on Saturday, November 05 2005 @ 04:38 PM EST

Download the complete 1.3.11sr2 tarball and follow the upgrading instructions in the documentation.

Authored by: kcbnac on Sunday, November 13 2005 @ 07:15 PM EST

I upgraded my new install (Fantastico currently installs 1.3.11) using the full tarball, on www.caffeinatedgeek.net and it is still showing 1.3.11 under the GL Version Check...is there some other way to verify that I am running SR2, and how I can force it to update the version number?

Thanks!

Authored by: samstone on Monday, November 14 2005 @ 12:10 AM EST

The version number is changeable in the geeklog/config.php file.

Hope this helps.

Sam
