Page Rank -- Updated?

Posted by coldtobi | 15 May, 2008, 00:23 I just noticed the PR now jumped to "4" on some pages on my site.... Not that I care so much, but as it jumped from 2 to 4 in days I'm wondering if Google updated their topsecret PR-algorithm again?

Lifetype: Updated to 1.2.8

Posted by coldtobi | 6 May, 2008, 00:10

An XSS vulnarbility has been found in lifetype. So consider updating -- I already have.

According the lifetype.net page, the one who found the XSS found also another one -- at least he said that in a commen. So probably, the admin modules should undergp a more deep security analysis....

  

Small bugfix for Recaptcha

Posted by coldtobi | 8 Apr, 2008, 10:45

I found a small bug for ReCaptcha: If you do not select a style, the generated Java Script code will be invalid and therefore the lanugage selection will not work.

Just select a style, for example "red" and everthing works fine.

There also some issues with several templates (for example MinimaPlus) : These issues are CSS related and show themself by a "broken bottom border" of the widget. I am currently trying to figure out how this can be solved without the need of a new CSS file to be included.

If you need a intermediate solution, please mail me for instructions.

Updated lifetype to 1.2.7

Posted by coldtobi | 1 Apr, 2008, 11:01

The update works without problems, but should solve some.... As the description told about "security issues", everyone should install that too.

So don't wonder, if the blog will be offline for some seconds.

Making Digg working with lifetype

Posted by coldtobi | 21 Mar, 2008, 11:28

The "stock" lifteype 1.2.6 has currently a bug: You cannot digg.

Now, another user of lifetype found out: The Bad Behaviour plugin simply blocked requests by diff. 

Well, technically this is not a big, but more some runaway spam protection, namley the bad behaviour plugin. As this plugin cannot be disabled, (and you don't want it to be disabled anyway), I was looking for a solution to this. 

Short story: the one found the issue solved it by white-listing digg. The only thing you have to do is to change the array in plugins/badbehaviour/bad-behaviour/whitelist.inc.ph:

// Includes four examples of whitelisting by IP address and netblock.
$bb2_whitelist_ip_ranges = array(
     "64.191.203.34",
     "10.0.0.0/8",
     "172.16.0.0/12",
     "192.168.0.0/16",
//        "127.0.0.1",
);
