New securityimages 4.1.0
Why updating?
- If You want to use more than one Captcha in a page.
- If You want Captcha in the administrator page.
- If Your old version 3.0.8 or 4.0.1 do not work as expected
- If you use any version < 3.0.4 which has a serious vulnerability injection.
NEW: Captcha can now be used in the administrator login page
NEW: more settings for switching On/Off securityimages into #Joomla! core
BUG: I was starting another php session with session_start()

This let You deactivate securityimages in core part of Joomla! more easily.

BUG: I was starting another php session with session_start(), this has cause a lot of trouble in the admin login page, and has revealed that I must better use:
session_name( md5( $mosConfig_live_site ) );
session_start();
This has the potential of solving issue in Virtuemart (I have not tested it, but problem look similar)

| About Joomla core patches I provide to the community |
| I do not like hacking Joomla! core file, either Joomla! Team provide a way to extends their core code on the fly (plugins) or I may run in trouble mainly because I have to provide and maintain a patch version of some core files, it is also risky to do that (code is untrusted source even if I am a honest person)… In order to not overwrite any existing changes You’ve made in the past, all users of Joomla! should really try to use Beyond Compare, from www.scootersoftware.com. It allow to select 2 directories/zip/files, and by right clicking in windows explorer like interface compare file and merge them in a 2 way editor (you can copy from left and to the right side of panel part of the code).With this tool, You can even make a compare with a local directory and a remote one (FTP) this let you apply release (official joomla patch 1.0.11 for example) very easily. Joomla! core patches are all located in administrator\components\com_securityimages\patches\*.php so the influence on core is minimal. Read them if you want to know how to use securityimages in Your own code. About release management of my patches:
My mistake is that I did not document that at all, this is why so much users run in troubles in the past few weeks…. |
