I have discovered a strange problem with one of my Geeklog sites (this site currently runs GL version 1.3.8-1sr5).
A user has somehow been able to register her user with a blank or empty username. obviously, she can't log in with that user, but I'm more curious how this could happen at all? Here is a sql query from the database: PHP Formatted Code mysql> select uid, username, email, regdate from gl_users where uid = 10 or uid = 13 or uid = 123; +-----+----------+--------------------+---------------------+ | uid | username | email | regdate | +-----+----------+--------------------+---------------------+ | 10 | t2 | t2@nowhere.com | 2003-04-02 23:16:00 | | 13 | oxxxxx | oxxxxx@limbo.no | 2003-04-03 16:04:00 | | 123 | | gmxxxxxx@xxxxxx.no | 2004-06-29 00:07:00 | +-----+----------+--------------------+---------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec) Question 1; How do I find out if the username field is empty ofr contains a blank character? Question 2: does it matter? I searched here and on Google, but couldn't find any description of a similar problem. Is this a bug in Geeklog, or is it something that have crept in with one of the Geeklog updates I have done? |

Hmm, if it was fixed a year ago, how come it happened on a 1.3.8-1sr5 Geeklog installation, less than two months ago? I mean, 1.3.8-1sr4 was announced in January, and the site was running that version when this error happened. |

I'm not sure when 1.3.9 was released right now but we generally resolve bugs in new releases only and don't go back. Only in the case of a security related fix do we create a SR (Security-release) as well for one version back. So 1.3.8-SR4 is a 1.3.8 + security related fixes but won't include other bug fixes that are part of 1.3.9.
Thats just my quess without going thru CVS records. Geeklog components by PortalParts -- www.portalparts.com |
