Hi John,

I was upgrading because I noticed a comment posted at xoops.org about a security vulnerability in the classifieds index.php program. I wanted to protect my clients site. Is there a short term fix while waiting for the next release?

ChaoticMess,

Yes, a while back I decided that since I did not release a final version of the module, that I would start at version 1.0. So the most current version is Classifieds 1.1 RC1

I think the version 1.1RC1 is not updated with all the fixes in the forums, If I were you, I would wait a little while and I will put out a version with all of the fixes in it. I was going to wait until after Xoops version 2.3 was ready, but I guess I should at least put all the fixes in it now. Give me a week or two.

Thanks,

John

Hi,

I installed classifieds on a site maybe 18 months ago. I wanted to upgrade to the current release and see it's labeled 1.1 RC1. On my xoops modules listing the installed version is listed as '3'. I'm guessing the version numbering has changed somehow. But is an upgrade from version 3 to 1.1 RC1 possible?

Thanks, CM

Themis,

The only reason it is there is because you did the changes from this thread to your site already.

I guess it did work, you were just looking for something else.

Hope that clears things up.

Sorry...,

I thought it was about how to show a link on my account page.
I think that a link to my resume on the view account page is better because this way, if I (for example) want to show to any -registered user- my CV / Resume, it will be easier, even for me.

Anyway, a link to my resume already exists and I can see it, if I login and go to Resumes page (top left).

Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

PS: A link to my resume at the "Extra Info" field would be nice and easy to implement - I believe.

One of the things I have considered is setting a cron job using wget to access the Classifieds index page ever so often so that these scripts get run on a regular basis.

If someone doesn't have access to cron on the server, I suppose that they could do the same thing by setting up a free account with a site monitoring service to access the index page regularly. The only question I would have is whether someone could have a subdirectory, like mysite.com/myxoopssite, monitored. I assume that these services send a http request to the site which should trigger the scripts.

I guess I could see that if an ad is expired and someone searched using the site search, it could be possible to get the expired ad in the results, then when you click on it, you will get a no ad exists type page.

I guess you could try this, but I want some input back on this for future versions.
Go to the file include/search.inc.php, just below

$mydirname = basename( dirname( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) );

add these lines:

require_once( XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/modules/$mydirname/include/functions.php" ) ;
ExpireAd();

This will run the 'expire code' before it does a search, I think.
Right now it only runs if someone goes to the classifieds index page.
Let me know.


John

This is for putting a link to your resume on the resume index page.

I don't know what you have done, so I don't know how to help you.
I have done it with the directions above.

Hi John,

I tried these modifications (to show a resume link at my profile) but it didn't work.
(xoops 2.0.16, PHP5)
Any idea?

John,

How hard would it be to make a recent listings block with thumbnails?
