This isn'st really a bug. I just installed the 1.3.5sr2 patches. When I did so I nuked a couple of very small customizations other people might find useful.
1. Event days is currently hard coded to 14 days. Our site is small and only has a couple of events per year. Hence, nothing ever shows up in the upcoming events block.
To fix this::
a) I added a config variable:
$_CONF['upcoming_event_days']=300;
b) At about line 2065 replace the variable $eventSql with:
$eventSql = "SELECT eid, title, url, datestart, dateend FROM WHERE dateend >= NOW() AND ". "(TO_DAYS(datestart) - TO_DAYS(NOW()) < ) ORDER BY datestart, dateend";
2. Batch adding users. This script for adding users is very handy but it required that the server have write access to in the $_CONF['path'] directory. I'm not so keen on this idea. So I:
a) created a new directory called uploads own by the server process and chmod 700.
b) created a new config variable:
$_CONF['upload_path'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'uploads/';
c) modified admin/user.php
$upload = new upload();
$upload->setPath($_CONF['uploads']);
$upload->setAllowedMimeTypes(array('text/plain'));
$upload->setFileNames('user_import_file.txt');
if ($upload->uploadFiles()) {
// Good, file got uploaded, now install everything
$thefile = current($HTTP_POST_FILES);
$filename = $_CONF['uploads'] . 'user_import_file.txt';
} else {
// A problem occurred, print debug information
print 'ERRORS<br>';
$upload->printErrors();
exit;
}

Nice - I could use that. But I thought we didn't nuke things here... we're GL... perhaps we GLue them? You know, like the glue that binds a community together? Off topic but, perhaps GLUE is a potential name. Or is that just too lame?
