Hopefully Solving some 141 Issues

[Drop-Forged]

Im writing this from my own experiences, and tests, and the little feedback that I have received.

As with any modification, always back up you originals before editing.

I will update this post if any new info comes along to make things easier.

Please post any feed back, good and bad.

Thank you.

In this tutorial I will discuss how to:

1. Back up your DB Configuration Fields. (ACP Config & Theme Bugs)
2. Inserting Fresh DB Configuration Fields. (ACP Config & Theme Bugs)
3. Unblock Fields in Cracker Tracker. (Stop Unnecessary Security Warnings)
4. Block and Unblock Triggered Words. (Only if Necessary)



ACP and themes_id Bugs Fix

This first fix is to fix sites that cant change their configuration settings in the Admin Control Panel, and it also should fix the à¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€¦Ã¢â‚¬Å“Could not get theme data for themes_idà¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€š

Ok, I know I am not so good at explaining myself with coding.

Ill try to explain this part clearly.

If you are having uncalled for Cracker Tracker Security Alerts, you need to tell Cracker Tracker to stop watching that field.


Open you ct_security.php


Find:

Code: Select all

 ]// Some fields in $HTTP_POST_VARS don't get checked to prevent wrong detection$unchecked_post_fields   = array

Now look at the fields following that line, and then look at mine]// Some fields in $HTTP_POST_VARS don't get checked to prevent wrong detection$unchecked_post_fields   = array('username', 'password', 'subject', 'message',                                 'poll_title', 'poll_option', 'poll_delete',                                 'email', 'confirm_code', 'aim', 'msn', 'yim',                                 'interests', 'occupation', 'signature', 'website',                                 'location', 'search', 'sitename', 'word',                                 'replacement', 'help', 'last_msg', 'quote', 'dl',                                 'preview', 'post', 'mode', 'content', 'server_name',                                 '.script_path', 'sitename', 'site_desc', 'disable_reg_msg',                                 'disable_msg', 'cookie', 'avatar', 'file', 'picture',                                 'filter', 'xs', 'edit', 'content', 'fileupload', 'filecomment',                                 'comment', 'rate', 'pic', 'search_author', 'add_poll_option_text',                 'meta_de.scription', 'meta_keywords', 'meta_copyright', 'long_desc',                 'download_url', 'user_occ', 'board_disable_msg', 'site_desc',                 'coppa_fax', 'board_email_sig', 'smtp_host', 'donate_de.scription',                 'user_realname', 'avatarurl', 'forum_desc', 'group_de.scription',                 'pic_title', 'pic_username', 'pic_desc', 'pic_filename', 'desc');[/code]

See how I added more to mine?

This stops the Security alerts for those fields.

Make sense???

Just add look my file

// Some fields in $HTTP_POST_VARS don't get checked to prevent wrong detection
$unchecked_post_fields = array('username', 'password', 'subject', 'message',
'poll_title', 'poll_option', 'poll_delete',
'email', 'confirm_code', 'aim', 'msn', 'yim',
'interests', 'occupation', 'signature', 'website',
'location', 'search', 'sitename', 'word',
'replacement', 'help', 'last_msg', 'quote', 'dl',
'preview', 'post', 'mode', 'content', 'server_name',
'.script_path', 'sitename', 'site_desc', 'disable_reg_msg',
'disable_msg', 'cookie', 'avatar', 'file', 'picture',
'filter', 'xs', 'edit', 'content', 'fileupload', 'filecomment',
'comment', 'rate', 'pic', 'search_author', 'add_poll_option_text');

this yours

// Some fields in $HTTP_POST_VARS don't get checked to prevent wrong detection
$unchecked_post_fields = array('username', 'password', 'subject', 'message',
'poll_title', 'poll_option', 'poll_delete',

'user_realname', 'avatarurl', 'forum_desc', 'group_de.scription',
'pic_title', 'pic_username', 'pic_desc', 'pic_filename', 'desc');

Just copy and past your info in 2 mine


mine now

Yes, that should help with most of the allerts, but there is probably some I haven't found yet.

So If you get an Allert, run Debug Mode, and hopefully it will tell you what field needs to be added to the list.

For me with some fields it don't give me all the info, so I've had to figure it out on my own.
