The problem persist, but, as it has bugged me for a while, I have at least figured out how to fix it - problem may not be with the module, but somewhere else, since the

SQL file indicates, as noted by a reply above:
NOT NULL auto_increment,


but when I install the module, what gets written into the database is
NOT NULL default '0',

The solution, at least for me (and which I'm posting as it might help others), is that I download the database, manually edit the line to correct it, then restore the corrected database - it seems to work fine and the database seems to remain correct thereafter.

Not sure why this happens, that's the next problem to figure out - could be my server/php, could be some other module, but at least it seems to be fixable on a case by case basis.

Protector - absurd number of "reports"

On one of my xoops site, I ma getting an absurd number of logged "NullByte" reports (attacks?) - on theorder of magnitude of 500-1000 per day
NullByte Injecting Null-byte '../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd ' found.
or
Injecting Null-byte '../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../proc/self/environ ' found.

In each case, the logged IP addresses seem to originate from outside the US (ARINIC and APNIC)

In lieu of a "browser" the log indicates these attacks are from:
libwww-perl/5.65
libwww-perl/5.79
libwww-perl/5.803
libwww-perl/5.805
libwww-perl/5.808
libwww-perl/5.810
libwww-perl/5.811
libwww-perl/5.812
libwww-perl/5.813
libwww-perl/5.816
libwww-perl/5.820
libwww-perl/5.825
libwww-perl/5.831
libwww-perl/5.834

Are these genuine attacks, or is there a bug somewhere in my software server?

So Sourceforge shows the 4 files below changed - can I just replace those 4 files in 2.4.4 without otherwise doing a full upgrade to 2.4.5?

Install of 2.4.4 goes fine and all modules update fine, with one exception - all the & and ' characters are replaced with "&"

How do I stop this from happening? Seems to be something like the text sanitizer, but I don't know what to change.

XOOPS Version XOOPS 2.4.4
PHP Version 5.2.5

What was the solution? I am having that problem too with upgrade from 2.3.3b to 2.4.4?

Ratings module

I would like to find someone who could either develop a new module or modify an existing one to add certain features. Specifically I would like something like the "Smart Partner" module, but would like to add user abilities to review the business - the capability to both (i) have a list of business characteristics, each with several optional ratings/data choices ...i.e. I use this module as a business directory, and would like to be able to enable users to rate each business (e.g. one characteristic might be: "Customer service - select one of (a) excellent, (b) good, (c) average, (d) poor (e) no rating given ); other characteristics might be "Pricing" "speed of service" and more

then add a text box where the same user could comment upon their experience with this merchant.

Visitors to the merchant's profile would then see a list of customer reviews, sorted by date and with an overall rating (based upon average rating of reviewers), and could then click and see the merchant's review by each customer that they desired. This would enable visitors to the website to help others identify excellent merchants and avoid bad ones

The version is the SmartFAQ 1.08 Final - I downloaded this from their website directly and did a complete uninstall/reinstall (and also cleared all the caches)

There were no categories before.

prior to upgrade from 2.0.16, SmartFAQ worked fine, after upgrade and updates, I cannot add a category to SmartFAQ and instead get the following error - and there seems to be nothing in the help/support forums on this site or on the SmartFactory website:

INSERT INTO smartfaq_categories (categoryid, parentid, name, description, total, weight, created) VALUES (NULL, 0, 'Uncategorized', 'Questions and FAQs that are uncategorized - as the number of questions grows, we will create categories as appropriate', 1, 1, 1247108461)
Error number: 1048
Error message: Column 'categoryid' cannot be null

I experienced a simlar problem. A solution that seems to work is to edit mainfile.php back to the original URL, then go in, temporarily disable protector, then clear caches, then reedit mainfile.php to the new URL, then update both the system and protector modules, then reactivate protector.

This was not necessary with 2.3.2b and before, but seems to be so with 2.3.3 (or the new protector that comes with the new 2.3.3). Something seems to not like simply changing the URL via a mainfile.php edit without these steps.
