Tickets left for 1.4 final release

hcgtv · 2009-08-28 13:55:18

From what I see these are the remaining tickets for a 1.4 final release:

Ticket        Summary        Component        Version        Milestone        Type        Owner        Status        Created 
#86     Allow "up"dating from v1.3       Code      None      1.4 Final      defect            new      05/12/09
#87     Sticky's not showing in search     Code     None     1.4 Final     defect     FSX     new     08/09/09
#89     Move post with only 1 board     Code     None     1.4 Final     defect         new     08/24/09
#91     Subscribe checkbox should be checked when you are subscribed     Code     None     1.4 Final     defect         new     08/24/09

Other than these tickets, are there any other code changes planned?

Switching this board over to the latest 1.4 could help us all test it in a live environment. I've been testing it at home but there's nothing like a live environment for getting out those pesky bugs that ultimately get missed by testers.

FSX · 2009-08-28 14:27:43

As far as I know there are no other features planned besides these tickets and bug fixing.

hcgtv · 2009-08-28 14:46:36

I see you're running 1.4 for Shinobu support, which is what I want to do, start using it already on a site I want to launch.

Other than "Those bloody spambots keep registering" problem, anything else you've encountered on a live site with the 1.4 code that would keep me from using it also?

FSX · 2009-08-28 14:50:39

No, the spambots if the only problem. So I disabled user registration, enabled guest posting and fixed Akismet and let it filter all the posts.

There are a few issues with upgrading this board to 1.4 at the moment. Firstly ticket #86 (upgrading to 1.3 to 1.4 isn't implemented yet) is kinda major We also will need to setup some kind of url redirection using .htaccess, since this board has been indexed by search engines with fancy urls, and 1.4 doesn't support them.

Moloch · 2009-08-28 16:12:54

Yes, can't wait for ticket #86 to get finished/included. I'd love to move a few forums from v1.3-legacy to the v1.4.

hcgtv · 2009-08-30 16:10:03

Seeing progress being made, almost there.

One of the features i like in 1.4 is the ability to designate what groups can see the User List, it happens to be the favorite pastime of spammers these days, signing up and then going into their profile and adding a link to their porn, dating or fill_in_the_blank site of choice.

A while back I applied Smarty's mod, but they continue signing up, hopefully when my forums switch to FluxBB, they'll go away for good.

Smartys · 2009-08-30 16:14:45

I doubt it. The spam bots typically care about quantity over quality. In other words, they'll try to spam all FluxBB (or PunBB or phpBB or whatever) forums that they can find without regard for whether they actually succeed.

hcgtv · 2009-08-30 18:56:51

Yeah, I guess they'll continue hitting all boards but some of the ones hitting mine seem to be real people, cause they sign on and update their profile with their link of choice and upload an avatar.

Having more users is ok, it's the freaking amount of mail that goes out on a daily basis, but I do like the avatar collection I'm building.

I think bots can do that too.

With urllib/urllib2/httplib from Python you can save cookies, send GET and POST requests, attach headers to that request. I don't think it's that hard to make a bot.

Then I'll have to use this mod from a trusted user

FSX, I applied the above mod to one of my forums, I got tired of all the &^%$#*& registrations.

One thing to keep in mind, if this becomes an official mod, is that if you have Rules enabled, then it fails to allow a registration.

I disabled Rules and it's working really well, thanks.

Does that thing really work? I just made that one, because someone said it would work.

Note: I made it 2 years ago.

Spoke too soon, I woke up this morning to quite a number of registrations. It may have slowed things down for a day, but I believe spammers read Punres also.

IMHO, there's has to be an easy way for admins to turn on/off anti-spam/anti-bot measures.

Ignore the bots, and they will eat your project.

hey someone explain to me why 1.4 looks like 1.2 ?? what the hell has happen to the new shit? damn I have been gone to long....

Q

FSX · 2009-11-12 08:02:26

1.4 is an improved 1.2 with UTF-8 and some more stuff. There are plans for a new style, but we first have to fix some small bugs in the current styles.

quaker · 2009-11-12 18:51:16

how are you doing FSX? I'm glad to see 1.4 built off of the 1.2 it seem faster and I'm use to editing the main.tpl instead of 20 files to style it... lmao..
