Security Patch for XOOPS 2.5.6

As always, security is on top of priority list of XOOPS!

Current users of XOOPS 2.5.6 are encouraged to download and apply a Security Patch.

Download: SourceForge File Repository


This security patch fixes some potential XSS issues discovered by Mehdi Dadkhah and fixed by Richard Griffith.

While 2.5.6 Websites that have currently installed Protector are safe from this XSS vulnerability, we recommend strongly to apply this patch to ALL XOOPS 2.5.6 Websites.


It is not enough to stress that you should ALWAYS have Protector installed!!!


How to Apply the Patch:
--------------------------
You will need as minimum PHP 5.3.7

Just copy ALL the files from /htdocs folder in this Zip file to your XOOPS Website.
No other action is needed.


==============================================
For users of XOOPS Versions older than 2.5.6
==============================================

Please update AS SOON AS POSSIBLE to XOOPS 2.5.6. As always, the current versions are always the most stable and safest, i.e. older versions might be open to vulnerabilities that has been already fixed in the current version.

As of today, all XOOPS 2.5.6 versions available for download have been all patched.

Wishing everybody Happy and Safe Xoopsing!

XOOPS is back, and with a vengeance! :)

Resized Image


I don't think, we had so much excitement about XOOPS as we have right now, in a very very long time!

We're now starting to work with full power on XOOPS 2.6.0!

Resized Image

After incorporating the Doctrine DB Abstraction Layer, that puts us on par in the DB area with projects like Laravel and Symfony, which are also using Doctrine, Richard Griffith, our new Core Team leader, continues to deliver amazing things!

Building up on the awesome work on XOOPS 2.6.0 by Trabis, ForMuss , Mage and Dugris, Richard just did some major redesign of our Debugging/Logging system, making XOOPS the CMS with probably the best debugging/logging capabilities in the world! Something what all serious developers will truly appreciate!

Resized Image

- Our new logging mechanism in Core is now PSR-3 compliant, which currently only very, very few projects can claim!!!

Resized Image


- he has replaced our outdated Debug view with the awesome PhpDebugBar module, that will provide our developers with tons of useful information.

As you can see above, our new PhpDebugBar is actually a "PhpDebugBar on steroids" because it merges it with information that XOOPS provides. So now we'll have the same information as the old Debug, but much, much more, incl. Smarty info and the cool timeline! Check out the original PhpDebugBar to see the original limited version of the PhpDebugeBar, but if you want to see what Richard did, you need to download XOOPS 2.6.0

- we've converted our Legacy Logger to the new logging system

Resized Image

- and we've included Monolog module for professional logging capabilities!

- and Richard is almost done with reworking of Trabis' XMF (XOOPS Module Framework). We plan to use XMF as a migration tool for existing XOOPS modules. Once converted to XMF, the current modules should be able to run on XOOPS 2.6.x, with no or only very minimal modifications, which will keep with our tradition of easy migration for our users.

Resized Image

You can fork it from our GitHub XOOPS Repository

Oh, did we mentioned that we're already using PHP Composer and that in the future we'll be also fully utilizing Packagist?

Resized Image Resized Image

Another work that we're doing is to have the whole XOOPS Core tested using PHPUnit.
Alain91 from France, who is leading this effort, has written already majority of tests, and we also have already set up a dedicated website with Jenkins. This is still in a testing phase, but once we go live with it, all submitted Core code will have to go through Jenkins to be accepted into the central repository.

And Richard and his team are just warming up

So expect more cool things coming soon!

But why wait? Just join the XOOPS Development Team and start contributing to XOOPS, either in the Core area or in the Module Development area, or both!

Please join the conversion in this thread!

XOOPS is Powered by YOU!!!

Viva XOOPS!

Ricardo Costa (Trabis) and Nicolas Andricq (ForMuss) Inducted into XOOPS Hall of Fame

Resized Image


We are pleased to announce that Ricardo Costa (Trabis) from Portugal and Nicolas Andricq (ForMuss) from France, have been inducted into the XOOPS Hall of Fame

XOOPS Hall of Fame has been created to recognize people who provided in the past extraordinary support and dedication for XOOPS, and helped to move XOOPS forward. It is just a small token of appreciation for all the hours they've spent on making XOOPS what it is today - one of the world's finest Web CMS solutions around!

Resized Image

Ricardo Costa (Trabis) - the Lead Developer of the XOOPS 2.4.x series and XOOPS 2.6.0. He also developed and updated countless modules. He is one of the finest and most pleasant developers to work with, respected and beloved by the whole XOOPS Community.

Resized Image

Nicolas Andricq (ForMuss) - the Lead Developer of the XOOPS 2.5.x series and XOOPS 2.6.0. A PHP and JavaScript expert, he revamped together with his "French Team" the 2.5.0 Admin GUI making it looking very cool! He also incorporated Bootstrap into XOOPS 2.6.0 and redesigned the Admin GUI.

While due to new jobs and family responsibilities they had to scale down their XOOPS involvement, we hope that once their lives become less hectic, they'll be able to contribute again to XOOPS!

Please join us in thanking them for all the hard work, their support and dedication to XOOPS!!!!

CuErPa module 0.9 beta

Resized Image
Today we (Designburo.nl) release a beta version of the CuErPa module for XOOPS. This module allows the creation of Custom Error Pages for within your website.

This can be very handy in case e.g. a visitor enters your website using an url that does not exist. Normally they would get a File not found error, now they will be forwarded to an Url you can set using CuErPa (CustomErrorPages).

Please give it a try and lets us know if you find anything we need to address before we take it our of Beta. Version 1 will also include a set of error pages and a quick setup button.

The file can be downloaded here.

Resized Image


Added the support for:
- Business card (VCARD protocol)
- Make a Skype call or Instant Message

Currently the module creates the following QRCode :

- Visit a website
- Call a phonenumber
- Send a SMS to a cellphone
- Plain text
- Send an email
- Lookup GPS coordinates
- Create a business card (MECARD or VCARD)
- Make a Skype call or IM
