[Unregistered]

The latest available version is phpBB 2.0.21. You are running phpBB 2.0.20.

[Jason Sanborn]

I am looking into the code changes now and will post what I find.

[Unregistered]

lets hope we get the codes soon..

[Jason Sanborn]

The patch was just released today. Please be patient and give us a chance to apply the patch. <img>

[Simon N]

Here we go again

[Jason Sanborn]

No, there are other changes as well. I have completed an intial run of the code and given it to the other developers to double-check my work. We should have the fixes posted here soon. <img>

[Simon N]

Sounds silly but i usually do them my way for the sheer hell of it then double check with what you guys post.

Glutton for punishment me!

I'd rather be on the safe side, especially since I'm fairly new to the Dev Team. <img>

[tekguru]

Good luck with working out the patches!

[Fallen]

woot... Always love these updates.

[apocalipse]

wow, it's great to see that this dev team works on this, at 0day <img>
Thank you all

[jolin]

Looking forward for the update <img>

[Simon N]

Totally agree, give him a yellow card for being so silly. <img>

I put my update to 2.0.21 on hold till i fix my spellchecker

[nGAGE]

Hi guys,

I'm sure you're all working on it already... but just to check... any idea on when we could expect the patch to upgrade from v2.0.20 to v2.0.21?

Would be nice to know... THNX


PS: Just to make sure, as I don't know for certain
Question: Does the "IntegraMOD News" in the Admin Panel announce a new patch, like the phpbb one tells us that a newer version is available?

[obiku]

they are on to it

watch this
[url=http]http://integramod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1123[/url]

[nGAGE]

Thnx... missed that topic

[nGAGE]

Nice to see you guys busy on the update. Will be looking forward to it <img>

[obiku]

Hope to see the update before my vacation, so I can go without being affraid someone will destroy my forum...

And I don't mean you guys are slow, but I'm going in a few days <img>

[Unregistered]

hmm the previos post makes me think, wat are the chances of attackin integramod sites while the patch is under testin? desable the board or keep takin backups?

[obiku]

phpBB Group announces the release of phpBB 2.0.21, the "Bertie's Summer Vacation" edition. This release is a cumulative bug fix update, as well as including a number of minor security fixes. We have altered the visual confirmation system used on servers without zlib enabled to bring it up to the same level as that used elsewhere and made a few small performance improvements.

As you can read above, there maybe a small security risk. Not worth to dissable your board.
And you already have the phpbbSecurity mod installed <img>

[Unregistered]

so basically how long does it takes to release a patch? am not in a hurry.. but jus for the record..

[obiku]

As long as it takes.

First the development team has to go to the code changes of the phpBB upgrade, and take out the fixes they already applied them selfs.
If a fix phpBB suggest is better then the fix they applied, they have to make code changes for that fix for IntegraMOD.

Second IntegraMOD usses CH 2... the phpBB upgrade is obvious plain phpBB. So some code changes can't be made because the code you have to change doesn't exist. The have to know what the fix does, and then make code changes for IntegraMOD.

This all can take some time. In the normal phpBB code changes there are 16 files to edit. The longer the list the longer it takes to make a new upgrade.

I don't know how long the development team of phpBB did to make these code changes?

well put...
remember also that MANY of our members are still running 2.0.19 or older and have not been hacked. If someone is determined to hack your site, it will not matter what version your running. Keeping current just makes it much more difficult. The best defense it to be sure that your phpbb version is not displayed in the footer. Remember, it will display to you as the admin, but should not display to regular users.
if for some reason your unsure, you can open templates/your template/overall_footer.tpl and remove this code {PHPBB_VERSION}

[obiku]

A new update of CH 2.1.4d + phpBB 2.0.20 to 2.1.4e + phpBB 2.0.21 is also out.

How do you al upgrade. Do you use that update. After lokking at those code changes, I found out you guys already made some changes in IntegraMOD as ptirhiik said in his upgrade.

[Unregistered]

wat is CH 2.1.4d ?

[fords8]

Any word on this update yet?

[Apocal]

Just hold your horses guys. Although I have been away for a while, I have used Integramod for quite some time. The guys here work very hard to get the updates put into place and make sure that everything is ironed out and working. Integramod uses a lot of different mods and as stated above has more files than a regular phpbb forum, therefore it takes more time. Just keep your site backed up as normal and you will be fine. Besides that, most of the security vulnerabilities are blocked by the fixes that Integramod has already done as well as the phpbb security fix. It's kind of like a microsoft issue, some times the fix is good and sometimes it's not quite so great, but it takes time to make sure that everything is good.

there a way to do that without hacking tpl? just wondering

[Dragonsys]

yes, but it's easier to remove it from the .tpl

hi guys.. any news abt the patch? .... anyways.. there is something else i like to ask.. maybe its not regardin the topic.. i use Opera (Version 9.00).. and when i try to enter this site(http://www.integrmod.com), i get the following error..


phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database


but i get no errors from firefox and IE.. and here is the Opera Version information:
Version : 9.00
Build : 8501
Platform : Win32
System : Windows XP
Java : Sun Java Runtime Environment version 1.5
XHTML+Voice : Plug-in not loaded

Any idea why the browser not suporting?

[tekguru]

Can we at least find out how the update is progressing, seems like it must be a real nasty if it's not here yet?

[Unregistered]

or maybe they are plannin on releasing the patch with IM 141 <img>

[Simon N]

Well I have personally updated to 2.0.21 I shall open a thread about it and let people discuss it there.

probably a good idea.. maybe i shud go thru the coding as well..

[Unregistered]

ahem.. any news? hello.. keep us informed <img>

[Simon N]

I know..lack of information is causing people to lose interest; hence me doing my own updates.

Could a moderator possibly delete all topics referencing 2.0.21 and then open a new thread just stating where the team are and what their intentions are?

Only say this as at the moment it seem the team know what they are doing but no one else does; theres a complete lack of communication. Perhaps adrian could also act as communication liasons rep???

[Flex]

I'm sure you guys are all busy, but I agree with the above people. The whole think about moving from integramod.com to kismod was because of lack of communications and I hope we don't go down the same path.

Please update us, even if it's just to say "we're working on it".

[Unregistered]

adrian, you can speak behalf of the dev team or someone can least talk behelf of them..

as far as i know, all phpbb related portal systems has been updated.. and i know we have our own codes but still, the question arise and users wont feel safe if the patch are gettin delay.. as Flex mention above, we dont wonna let IM down coz of lack of communication.. we all are with u guys.. and we wil understand wat ever difficulties the dev team is facing..

[Adrian Rea]

Other portal systems may be updated, but it is the integration of other mods, the checking of changes in back updates to ensure that the update is as good as it can be. Members of the dev team are now testing what is expected to be the released update. Apologies for it being a delay but there is only so much people can do. I hope the update will be out within the week.

there have been a number of issues with the updates and their effect on the rest of the mods in the system. The reduction in the use of HTML codes for example.

I beleive that the 2.021 update was not mind splitting urgent as much of it was trying to correct issues from the previous 2.020

As soon as it is ready all will know.

ah, that makes my face a lil bit happy..

Greath news we wil wait <img>

[Simon N]

Well I am up todate with .21 anyways ; will be good to see if there are differences when the officail release is done, but I suspect it shall be many updates rather than just the .21 ones.

[Unregistered]

Simon N, is there any chance u can share ur codes (under tables) with me? i'd be testing it with my testing forum if u can provide it to me..

[Simon N]

I can if its just for testing purposes.

As said elsewhere if I post the code changes here it could then get confusing and make a mess of the next upgrade from IM.

Email me if you want me to send the zip file for testing purposes though.

[Unregistered]

thats why i mentioned "under table" <img> jus need to see how it goes..

and for those ppl who are awaitin for the updates.. pls hold ur breath.. it wil be up in any time..

[Unregistered]

Simon N, are u tryin to test me too? heh, wel, i got a lil bit confused when u included the usercp_avatar.php and plus i cudnt find the codes in profile.php.. anyways, did a code search and found those files.. maybe u might need a look at it.. or parhaps u accidently forgot to give the right filenames in the txt file.. either ways , here is the right files to look for those codes.. or do let me know if am wrong..

includes/usercp_avatar.php -->[profilcp/functions_profile.php]
profile.php --> [profilcp/functions_profile.php]

il play around the test site and let u know in a days time..

[Simon N]

Ah no I just never changed the filenames as never planned on releasing it out into the wild <img>

[Unregistered]

hey Simon N, i had couple coding errors earliar but now its fixed.. applied to a new subdomain.. the one i applied before was a pretty messed up test forum.. the new subdomain is working fine..

no errors.. great work man

[Driver 7]

someone take him to the dav team before we lose him <img>

I sort of agree with you on that. Simon always makes good intelligent posts and all would probably benefit from having him on the team.

got my vote!

[tekguru]

Seconded <img>

Are we goin to celebrate our one month anniversary without the patch?

Somebody say something :S

Man thats harsh and not being funny but if your in such a rush YOU go figure out the upgrades....its not difficult.

[Unregistered]

hehe.. sorry Simon..

[Simon N]

lol dont be I was in a grumpy mood.

I also noticed the quote function is broken here.

[Unregistered]

i thought it was my browser's problem.. sheesh, stupid me..

[obiku]

not only the quote, " is, as you can see not working as well, there is an in front of it. And if you quote or edit a post, another is set infront of it. And so on.

[Simon N]

Ah someones gone mad with escaping quote marks.

[obiku]

They are edditing on a live board. I just noticed the quote " is now showing up normaly. Also the Quotebox is working again.

This is in a quote box

As you can see they are not editing on the live board as such.

The quote box works apart from when you try and quote a post.

[Helter]

the problem is that I applied the 2.0.21 update before I read Teelks post that stated it was not quite ready for release. The problem with the update is that it is messing with html in posts. To put a bandaid on it till Teelk finishes the update, I globally disabled html in posts, so you now have to choose to use html if you want to add it to a post. Once the update is complete, I will put "html in posts" back to default

"edit* looks like you still have to choose "Disable HTML in this postl" any time you add " "

[sop]

So,
any idea when the update is coming?

i cant wait!:D.

im running 2.0.19 atm with security fix. You guys think its better to update to 2.0.20 or is it better to wait for the 2.0.21 update?

[obiku]

It's always better to use the latest. Al bugfixes from former versions are fix until 2.0.20.
And it's not known if IntegraMod Development team is also making an upgrade mod from 2.0.19 to 2.0.20. If not, you still have to upgrade to 2.0.20 first to apply the latest version (if you have added MODs of your own).

[Unregistered]

sop, i think u have to apply 2.0.20 first.. if am not mistaken, i dont think you wil find the FIND/REPLACE codes of 2.0.20 in 2.0.21.. and if you have more question, then go thru this link:

http://integramod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=163

[Teelk]

Correct, you must update to 2.0.20 before applying the update to 2.0.21. Although, I will be working on a 2.0.17 to 2.0.21 update for new users to apply, or perhaps updating the IM download... but, I have to discuss that with other staff members first.

[sop]

ok thnx, let the fun begin

[Simon N]

Updating the download is a MUST really. Its way out of date and to expect a newbie to install it then have to go through several updates straightaway is too much to ask.
