Site Upgrade: Drupal 6.5 / Views Module 2.0-rc4

Submitted by John T. Haller on October 8, 2008 - 5:35pm

I've just finished an upgrade to Drupal 6.5 and the Views module update to 2.0-RC4. While I don't normally do updates like this mid-day, there were some critical security vulnerabilities I wanted to address as soon as the upgrade was posted.

All pages should be working again for logged in users (you may need to reload to get the current). Guest users (not logged in) may see placeholders until the next cached update (every 15 minutes).

Please let me know if anything looks out of sorts.

Thanks,
John

[FIXED] New ClearSpring Tracker on Forum pages?

Submitted by José Pedro Arvela on October 8, 2008 - 12:10pm

EDIT: It seems it was the social bookmarks widget used that added tracking without notice. John explains better further below on the comments and his article is here.

My Flashblock has found a new... code snippet on some of this site's pages. It shows a swf file from bin.clearsring.com on the site's header.

Workplace Network Log In and Remote Desktop, Portable

Submitted by i240 Dan on October 6, 2008 - 12:36pm

I have recently purchased a portable hard drive as I am now working from home.

I can log into my company server from home having setup a 'connect to my workplace' network connection using Remote Desktop.

I was wondering whether, as from time to time I may be at a friends house and whish to check my emails whether it is possible to setup a network connection to my work server and remote desktop log in on my portable drive therefore avoiding having to set it up on every pc I might use.

Thanks

[Idea] warning if portableapps backup is not up to date

Submitted by DrakeL on October 6, 2008 - 9:55am

Hi,

i think a warnining label in the portableapps menue if the backup is not up to date (so in the directory of the backup are not a backup newer as x days) would be good for people, who forgot often to make a backup.

of course should be able to deactivate the warning. Smile

is that posible?

"High Priority Free Software Projects" Site

Submitted by hm2k on October 5, 2008 - 8:20am

See: http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/priority.html

One of the most interesting projects here to us is probably the Skype replacement "Ekiga", no windows support yet though. There is much talk on the forums with regards to a skype replacement, i'd like to see one too.

There's lots of projects on this list, some we can use, some we cannot, however we can offer our support to them all.

Dig deep folks.
