Good work. Just noticed that in the security page, under item S1 it mentions each directory should have security files that are specific to the Apache webserver. Will examples/templates of what should be used be provided for this?

P.S - Just noticed that item S7 talks specifically about chmoding too, which is obviously *nix specfic (unless you have posix tools for windows). With Windows you want only Read NTFS permissions for you web server account, then also the Write permission for those that need to be writable by the server.

Well, I could do dutch, german, french and couple more when I have time that is or maybe in the future releases.
I'll keep in touch if and when.

@graviton
for french, it will be ok, will do it.
thanks for others languages if you can.

@ brash
yes, this tool is too .nix oriented. Thanks, i will improve it on that point. Could you give me some inputs on these specific points. What should be there for Windows environment?
For .htaccess, i will add lines that a .htaccess file should have.

thanks
marco

@ MarcoFr

With Windows you have both Apache and IIS environments. So .htaccess will still apply, but IIS has no real equivilent. As for permisions, all you need to do with Windows is what I suggested in my first post.

IMO, an extra "utf-8" test is not necessary but there should be an option for "coding standard" (or some proper term) in "core features" to address:
1 proper use of XoopsLocal that allows flexible language localization
2 proper use of XoopsDB API (especially not use direct mysql_query), and XoopsQuery (if there is not a specific "query performance" option)
3 proper use of Xoops::textsanitizer for text I/O processing (it is mentioned in "security" but I think it should be stated more formally)

Also, encourage developers to use XOOPS_CACHE_PATH for his module cache files and XOOPS_UPLOAD_PATH for his uploads, not only for a central management but also for security concern.

@phppp

LazyBadger's comment on htmlentities() is correct, and that's why I suggested:

3 proper use of Xoops::textsanitizer for text I/O processing

Actually I have not found any problem that could not be solved by properly using Xoops::textsanitizer
