CRACKER TRACKER PATCH Updated: 5-17-2007

[ZacFields]

This patch has been updated as of 4-22-2007. If you install this patch and still have cracker-tracker problems please post the specific problems here and I will work on adding to my patch.

Teelk has also been a large contributor to this patch as well, along with the help of all of you!

*INSTRUCTIONS*

1. Upload and override the file! (Yes, now there is only 1 file)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let it be known that I operate a fully-functional forum that is running IntegraMod 1.4.1 with these files that have been patched. If anyone downloads this patch and is still getting errors doing something, please respond to this topic with EXACTLY what you were trying to do and I will try to update my patch.

[ZacFields]

For anyone with questions, again, this is just a SMALL patch of a few files so that you all can work on your forums.

I will add to this patch as I find more fixable issues with it. This is just a *make-shift* patch to buy the devs time to create their own official patch.

I will update the DATE on the topic everytime I update the patch, so come back periodically to re-download the patch.

IF YOU HAVE MODIFICATIONS INSTALLED ALREADY: Please make sure your modifications aren't affected by these files (they shouldnt' be for the most part)

Also for the admins on this site:

If you guys want to check these fixes, be my guest. Also inform me of anything I might have missed.

maybe you could make file edit instructions, for the modded boards...
not everyone can just overwrite files...

[ZacFields]

Skywalker,

None of the files in that edit should have been included in any of your modifications except maybe the profile.php file.

However, today I am working on a patch that will include all those fixes and they will all be in one file. Once I am done with this and done testing, I will update this patch and it will be as simple as just over-riding that one file (and it's a cracker-tracker file so you'll have no preexisting modifications to it).

I dont' know when it will be done... very soon <img>

Hey, nice work on this patch.
Since I used it I can edit field defenitions and add fields into PCP.
Only thing is, that my forum management doesn't let me add, edit or delete forums.
And when I put back my backed up files, this problem doesn't solve.

Zac,

excellent patch... got me working quick

thanks

HoRuZ, that is very off because it includes the fix for adding, modifying, and deleting forums. Its posted elsewhere but the original admin/admin_forums_extend.php has

Code: Select all

$ct_ignorepvar = array('create','delete','name','icon');

and you need

Code: Select all

$ct_ignorepvar = array('create','delete','name','icon','desc');

Are you sure you replaced this file on your forum?

BTW Zac, thanks for this. I am a little frustrated with CrackerTracker not already being tested before the final release of IM141. These changes should have been made beforehand, however, I do appreciate the patched files. Huge help for all of us not wanting to find everything wrong first and debug CT

[ScottDaMan]

I just uploaded the patch and the forum add, modify, and delete functions work perfectly for me. If you did in fact upload the changed admin/admin_forums_extend.php, I'm not sure what to suggest.

[ZacFields]

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I had a feeling this patch might make a few people feel better.

IntegraMod has since made me a dev, so all the other devs and I are working very hard on our own live forums to collect all the errors that crackertracker is giving and create patches for them.

I have still had some reported crackertracker messages so we will be compiling those patches asap and trying to get them out soon.

Zac

got some news about this already?

[ZacFields]

Well before we release a full patch, we want to get everything tested to make sure it truly is as "full" as we can get it.

We're adding new fixes to it everyday though, and over this weekend I'm going to try and get as many fixes in as I can find.

I don't really have a time-frame to give ya...but this is something that shouldn't take too long.

I have had to put quiet a few ones in for the Album; I will make a list and post it here <img>

Are you sure you replaced this file on your forum?

Yeah, but I have it solved now.
Somehow the CHmods on all needed files were put back to 664 and 774.
After re-CHmodding them it worked awesome again.
Here's a list I have collected in ct_security.php

// Some fields in $HTTP_POST_VARS don't get checked to prevent wrong detection
$unchecked_post_fields = array ('meta_de.scription','meta_keywords', 'meta_copyright', 'long_desc',
'board_disable_msg', 'site_desc', 'smtp_host', 'donate_de.scription',
'user_realname', 'avatarurl', 'style_user_icq', 'user_email',
'style_username','style_user_online','style_user_avatar',
'style_user_rank_title','style_user_from','style_user_gender',
'style_user_age','style_user_posts','style_user_cashtp',
'style_user_country', 'style_user_warnings', 'style_user_owntitle',
'forum_desc', 'field_det_explain', 'desc', 'create', 'delete', 'name',
'icon', 'cat_desc', 'icon_desc');

I'll try this patch. Someone sent me over to this thread because I had posted about CrackerTracker taking over my site configuration.

I can't add or change de.scriptions to the forums and categories. I've been doing that through the database itself.
