FluxBB 1.5.7 and 1.4.13 released

Taken from the code you posted above:

This is the line you're looking for:

$db->query('UPDATE '.$db->prefix.'users SET password=\''.$cur_user['activate_string'].'\', activate_string=NULL, activate_key=NULL'.(!empty($cur_user['salt']) ? ', salt=NULL' : '').' WHERE id='.$id) or error('Unable to update password', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());

This is the line you're changing to:

$db->query('UPDATE '.$db->prefix.'users SET password=\''.$db->escape($cur_user['activate_string']).'\', activate_string=NULL, activate_key=NULL'.(!empty($cur_user['salt']) ? ', salt=NULL' : '').' WHERE id='.$id) or error('Unable to update password', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());

Following the link also gives you the line number the code is on: 58. It's by no means rocket science.

I should give this one a test spin.

Trying to upgrade from v1.5.6 to v1.5.7 - have run the update_db.php and the screen goes to white and seems to not do anything more. Trying to access the forum after that and just get the simple "Sorry, we are currently doing maintenance, please come back later."

Been like that for a few hours now so I don't think it's actually running any updater. What can I do to manually get the database up to v1.5.7 and get rid of the maintenance message and the forum working again?

A white screen is a sign of a fatal PHP error. Please enable full error reporting and check your error logs.

Regarding removing maintenance mode, this topic may be of use to you.

It isn't actually in maintenance mode, it's trying to perform the database update (and failing).

Surely nothing major has changed in the database structure between v1.5.6 and v.1.5.7 - can't I simply remote connect to the database and make any minor adjustments there? Just need to know what's changed.

chris98 · 2014-11-10 21:09:24

It's mainly just VARCHAR stuff that I've seen - but that is only what I've seen which was a very brief look, I haven't really looked at the code in any depth but I suggest you try your best to avoid manually editing it in phpMyAdmin, it will only over complicate stuff - it's a fairly big file. Not only that but it re-defines constants and updates some config - then regenerates all the cache.

If you add the following at the top of the file just after the <?php you'll be able to see any errors in the script, some of which are hidden by FluxBB by default:

ini_set('display_startup_errors',1);
ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(-1);

Put those in db_update.php file, right?

Yeah, if that's the page which is completely white.

philwareham · 2014-11-10 21:26:33

It's OK, I looked in the GitHub repo and the only database change between 1.5.6 and 1.5.7 was this:

-define('UPDATE_TO', '1.5.6');
+define('UPDATE_TO', '1.5.7');

So I just manually edited the entry in config table of database to the new version number and I'm back up and running with the latest version installed. Cheers anyway.

Slightly offtopic. I tried to fork FluxBB-1.5.7 for the OpenStreetMap forum (e.g. to add a custom login function) but when I go to github and change the view from branch: master to tag: fluxbb-1.5.7 then the latest commit is shown as "franzliedke authored on Jan 15 latest commit 09b6a081de".

I would expect to see the latest commit being somewhere in October, being the security fix. Do I miss something here? You may have guessed correctly by now that I'm not Github savvy...

Edit: when I clone the master of my fork then I get: FluxBB 1.5.6

Edit: I read elsewhere that master should already be 1.5.7. But anyway I thought it was strange that the 1.5.7 tag would result in the 1.5.6 code.

I think that's because I re-applied an old commit from another branch. See this list which contains all the commits that made it into v1.5.7.

Lambertus · 2014-11-21 15:10:58

Thanks Franz, to make matters clear for me: forking the 'master' should currently get me 1.5.7?

quy · 2014-11-22 16:41:37

Yes and 1.5-next will be 1.5.8.

Franz · 2014-11-23 15:14:27

This allows us to quickly make a release based on master with just the security fixes. Makes applying them easier for you guys.

Applying them would be way easier. Nice work.
