3.3 Released

Tammy · 2007-06-08T06:09:28Z

eFiction 3.3 is released. This release is mostly bug fixes and some precautionary security updates. The security updates touched just about every file in the script. If you had any modifications you want to put back the big changes in 3.3 are the changing of certain variables to defined terms. This way the script kiddies can't take advantage of any holes (especially since it's now so much easier for people to add their own stuff) to change these settings. Orginal Updated===== =========$adminloggedin isADMIN$loggedin isMEMBER$useruid USERUID$userpenname USERPENNAME$level uLEVEL$tableprefix TABLEPREFIX$sitekey SITEKEY$storiespath STORIESPATHI did these only because they were the ones most likely to be exploited. You can carefully do a search and replace for these. I would not do a global search and replace. There are places where $tableprefix is still $tableprefix (for instance as it's being pulled out of the database initially).I also added a few more hooks that will make some interesting things possible. The most noticeable improvement on the main script will be the updated CAPTCHA script and the Modules admin panel.Also on my site I have updated my modules for eFiction 3.3. If you have any of them installed:1. Download the updates for the modules and upload those files at the same time you upload the 3.3 files. 2. Do the 3.3 update.3. Then go to the new Modules admin panel and run the update if there is one for the module. For my modules:The Recommendations module can now be set to use frames for the recommendation link rather than opening the story in the same window or a new window. This will give you a small bar across the top of the page with your site's name and slogan, a link to return to your site, and a link to review the recommendation. I've set the frames option on on my Scribbles site if you want to take a lookfor the recommendations have also been added to the info block. Again you can see that on the Scribbles site.On the story end module, I've made it so the story end information can be added to the story index/table of contents page and also to the printable page. I've also made it so that if the story is part of a series that information is displayed at the bottom along with the next and/or previous story in the series. Again, an example herea slight modification on the Display Word module. I've changed it so the file will come up as Title_by_Author_Coauthor-DATE.docNo real changes to the Beta Reader module. I just updated it to work with the new defined terms instead of the old variables.One additional note. I also updated some of the docs and the README.See. I haven't been completely slacking after all. Here's the link to the download.

Thanks for all the work on this update Tammy - it must have been many a boring hour tidying up all that code. Most people aren't going to realise just how much you have changed as there isn't much in the way of changes visible to users, just a lot of behind the scenes work. Still I guess that means you get to work on more of the fun stuff for 3.4 🙂

Hi,
I noticed on your Slash Fan Fiction site, when you click on categories, then click on television, there is no X-Files listed. I thought there was an X-Files category as I have been submitting X-Files stories here. The stories are there under my name but there is no way to access them otherwise.

dmctx, who are you talking to? It would be more appropriate to privately message whoever it is.

Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

I'd like to thank to all the team who developed efiction 3.3. I installed it and it's great the way is maturing and consolidating the functionality. It's a pleasure to use it.

Thanks!

I just installed it, myself, and I'm pretty impressed with the robust nature of the code. Thanks 🙂
