Re: X-Movie Virus?

I will emphasize once more for clarity:
There is and was never a virus in the downloads from Optikool and XOOPS.org.

During a limited time, third parties have proposed a download file with a virus. If you are in doubt about your copy, dowload the module again from the official Optikool site.

Yes, this appears to be an misleading report. Many thx for your continued support of your Xoops modules.

Hey Guys,

I just ran into this thread and wasn't aware that there was a virus version of this module floating around on the net.

@Peekay Generally a cracker would add an iframe to a page so that they could send information back and forth between their server and the page you are viewing. Things like passwords would be the most common info to send. The module that I maintain would not have any need for iframes so if you find one, remove it.

Later this year I'm planning to revisit this module so that I can redesign different aspects to take advantage of new ways of doing things and improve the code. If you see problems with this module let me know and I will look into it.

Also the reason why the publish date changed on the module was because I changed to the Joomla CMS and had to move things over. Sorry Xoops People but I needed to understand the MVC module better and Joomla has that module. But I plan to bring the techniques I learned from creating my XGallery component and what I learn from my Movie component, (still in Alpha, but you can see it on my website) to the Gallery 2 and X Movie modules that I maintain for Xoops. Hopefully it will be a big improvement in the end.

Ghia,

If no features are added to make a kind of new module out of it, one should not take over existing and actively maintained modules.

Even if it is not actively maintained, only new added features should justify a new version.

Furthermore I believe an edit of the article is apropriate and the following paragraph should be removed as I feel this does injustice to Optikool and his modules.

I agree. The paragraph has been removed.
