Repository-Removing Earlier Versions Of My Module

I will be removing some earlier versions of Video Tube from my site (www.customvirtualdesigns.com). The versions are v1.01, v1.1 and v1.2. The main reason is the security vulnerability issues that are present in these versions. This will of course break the download link to these versions in the module repository so I need an admin's help. I will not take these versions offline until I hear back from an admin.

NOTE: The problems in the code have been rectified and we highly recommend anyone currently using Video Tube should upgrade to version 1.4 or higher.

I have installed Flashchat on a couple different sites. The part that is probably the most confusing is how to change the config file settings so you get the results you are looking for.

I haven't written any detailed instructions but I am sure I can walk you through the process if you want to contact me. My e-mail is tanksplace@comcast.net and my home page is Custom Virtual Designs

Well it seems that I made the problem much more complex than it really needed to be. The root cause was in the xoops_version file. Problem has been resolved.

Here is what the code segment looks like at the beginning of the index page:

include_once '../../mainfile.php';
include_once XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/header.php";
include 'include/functions.php';

global $xoopsOption, $xoopsDB, $xoopsUser, $xoopsConfig, $xoopsModuleConfig;

settype($vid,"integer");

$vid = intval($_GET['vid']);

$op ='';
$postnum ='';

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['op'])) $op=$HTTP_GET_VARS['op'];
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['op'])) $op=$HTTP_POST_VARS['op'];
$PHP_SELF = $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];

And the segment where I assign the template:

// Designate Smarty template to be used

$xoopsOption['template_main'] = 'video_display.html';
include_once(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/header.php");

// Read Preferences configuration values

$vdispformat = $xoopsModuleConfig['videodisplayformat'];
$vautoplay = $xoopsModuleConfig['videoautoplay'];
$vdisporder = $xoopsModuleConfig['videodisplayorder'];
$vdispnumber = $xoopsModuleConfig['videodisplaynumber'];

My concern is that I may not be calling out the includes in such a way that it will work on all sites. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Video Tube - need some help troubleshooting

There are several sites using Video Tube with no problem but have found two people who installed Video Tube and the index.php file displays only the footer and no videos. The fact that the footer "Powered by CVD" is displayed tells me the call to the smarty template is working but using debug modes shows no errors. Files involved are Video Tube v1.1 module and the version of XOOPS is 2.0.16

I am wondering if I have overlooked something in the way I employ the smarty template for displaying videos. Like maybe I did not consider certain site config settings that could affect module operation.

I would appreciate any help in resolving this issue.

Play Dates Calendar - Any Interest?

We have been working with some music promotion websites to attract local bands and came up with a cool calendar feature. What if we could eliminate calendar data entry? Well that's what we did. The block we created goes to the designated band & venue MySpace pages, extracts the schedules, sorts the data and displays it in a single calendar listing. You can see it in action at Custom Virtual Designs We were thinking about turning this into an XOOPS module but wanted to find out how much interest there is first.
The main benefit for users is only having to enter their appearance dates one time, on MySpace. Wherever you place this code on your site(s) the data will update automatically.

We would also like to ask for help in testing our most recent update Video Tube v1.2 beta. It was brought to our attention that our use of $HTTP_GET_VARS may create a security risk. We have addressed the issue but did not want to submit it here on this site until I get some positive feedback. Version 1.2 beta can be downloaded at Custom Virtual Designs

We appreciate any help you can provide.

We are absolutely amazed at the number of non-english sites that are installing our Video Tube module for XOOPS. An excellent example can be found at Treintaymas.com Not only did they create their own language translation files, they also performed edits on the Video Help html page translating the entire document for use on their site. People going to that much effort to incorporate one of our modules tells us that they believe in what we are trying to accomplish. Creating modules that are not only easy to install and maintain but also provide the features people are looking for. That is our primary goal.

Thanks to everyone for their feedback and support in our endeavors.

I discovered the problem. I needed to declare xoopsOption as a global at the start of the showlist() function.
