Due to a recent security hole found in PHPX, here is a patch:

 in /includes/functions.inc.php lines 75 to 89 is the function checkCookie().  In this function change the line:

list($user_id, $username) = $this->core->db->fetch("select user_id, username from 
 users where sess = '$_COOKIE[PXL]'");

list($user_id, $username) = $this->core->db->fetch("select user_id,
 username from users where sess = '" . htmlspecialchars($_COOKIE[PXL]) . "'");

That will plug this hole. 

I know a lot of people would disagree with the title, but at this point I just no longer have the time or inclination to keep this project going any longer.  I will be working over the next few weeks to remove parts of the site and move other parts.  The domains and trademark will remain with the project, but point over to my website this.rand() .

I  will move the CVS repositiory to a publicly accessible area, either on this server or most likely on sourceforge.  The files will remain up as long as I remember the password to keep them up.  But all changes, bug fixes and enhancements alike are over at this point. I will come up with a way to transfer the entire forum over so all the help/thoughts/links come over, for anyone using the project.

Looking back, I have really enjoyed this project and will always remember it as well as the friends I have made through it. My real weakness was documentation, and as these types of projects have become more and more common, I was unable to attract more general developers to the project, making it pretty much unavoidable that I would eventually have to move on.

Anyways, I hope you all have enjoyed PHPX, and wish you all the best of luck in all you attempt. 

Ok, 3.6.0 is going pretty well.  It will have three new features:

Calendar Module (including event tracking like Evite)
ITunes Playlist Importer
Full Page RSS integration

I am just about done with the Calendar Module.  It has been a long time coming, but I think you guys will be happy with the results.

I know it seems pretty amazing, but I have actually finished 3.5.16.  I am working on cleaning up the files prior to release and then I will put out release canidate 1!  We are going to go through the RC system on this release since it has been so long and I would like to get all the quirks out of the code at this point, so I can turn my attention, such as it is, to working on the file/download module and calendar module due in 3.6.0!

On a personal note, I had a baby!  Well, my wife did at any rate.  Head over to my homepage: http://www.thisrand.com for pictures and stuff, but there is where a lot of my time has gone lately, but still no excuse for a 9 month gap in development.

I am also going to be a lot more active in the forums again, so keep posting, I will actually reply! 

For those of you celebrating a holiday right now, hope you have a safe and good (merry) one.  I will be around this holiday season, but not online too much.  

 I am working on .16 and it will have some major changes in it, like a Calendar module, so rest assured, it is coming!

PHPX 3.5.15 RC3 is ready for download & testing. ftp://ftp.phpx.org/phpx-3.5.15-upgrade.tar.gz
Please remember this is a release canidate. It has been tested and is pretty much ready to go, but there may be little bugs out there. Nothing major, but it is possible. There are some serious changes on the backend, the new editor being the most obvious one.

This is the last of the Release Canidates, the next release in about a week will be the final version of .15

PHPX 3.5.15 RC2 is ready for download & testing. ftp://ftp.phpx.org/phpx-3.5.15-upgrade.tar.gz
Please remember this is a release canidate. It has been tested and is pretty much ready to go, but there may be little bugs out there. Nothing major, but it is possible. There are some serious changes on the backend, the new editor being the most obvious one.

I have fixed the forum not displaying issue and installation issues.  If you are already running .15 only update the /includes directory and you will be fine.  Otherwise update per the norm.  Also, due to the SQL errors in the last release canidate, make sure your version is correctly showing .15.  Otherwise run the following code against your database:

 update `config` set `version` = '3.5.15';

PHPX 3.5.15 RC1 is ready for download & testing. ftp://ftp.phpx.org/phpx-3.5.15-upgrade.tar.gz
Please remember this is a release canidate. It has been tested and is pretty much ready to go, but there may be little bugs out there. Nothing major, but it is possible. There are some serious changes on the backend, the new editor being the most obvious one.

One issue that may crop up is the updating of the Employment tables. If that happens, please report it, I need to figure out how it occurs. Other than that, I have had no issues in updating my websites to 3.5.15.
