- Original File Specs: post_thanks_7_82.zip (26.4 KB, 24844 downloads) - Original file removed, replaced with patched files including search fix (some admins noticed hackers attempting to use outdated code to exploit search in attempt to gain administrator password or similar).
- There are five total patched versions available, some with and without the search fix - I've replaced the main file with the patched versions... please be sure to download and install the correct version, the main mod post contains links to additional information and patched files!

Edit: To be clear, there was no exploit in the original file (that we could see, BOP5 checked it) however Marv noticed some odd database errors and then subsequently asked Dave to look into the code - basically the search table was being used when it should not have been so instead of leaving up one single download link and having many members assume it was current I decided to remove the primary download and replace with patched versions THEREFOR you need to read the two posts by Hippy and ForceHSS (links to those post in the main mod description above) to ensure you're downloading and installing the correct version.

Special thanks to Marv for the report and suggestion plus Dave's assistance as well.

That I'm not totally sure of, the file in question is from this post:
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showt...50#post2249550

The datelines confuse me... so not sure if the 7.85 came after the 7.84 or not due to how those dates are formatted but one would assume a .85 would come after a .84 since its a higher number and if we follow the normal version number guidelines per say. The reason I removed the original file was to avoid having future users of this mod report odd database errors thus prevent them from becoming seemingly "freaked out" by what appears to be a hacking attempt to their forum. Edit: You could send ForceHSS a PM asking for clarification on that though Nevermind I just sent ForceHSS and pm and asked for clarification .

If you're receiving any odd database error emails containing an sql error such as:

Snippet:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

I would update as someone is actively trying to exploit your forum and/or information and while its more so a mistake in using the table as Dave mentioned to Marv its still the fact they have somewhere/something to plug away at i.e. trying to exploit so best to nip it in the bud imo.

Just curious here LastSuperman, this latest update of yours, will it be database compatible with the older plugin? Because I plan on reimporting my current vBulletin database into an older backup in which I'm using the 7.84 version, I won't get any trouble or so if I do?

[Wolver2]

Thx SuperMan Maybe we could have the "To change inside code to update" for those who have modfied version.. as we have so many versions of this floating around hehe

ForceHSS just confirmed via private message that he DID include the search fix on both versions he uploaded .

Edit: LOL overlooked that last reply .

I didn't update anything simply replaced the attachment in the mods post. So in other words I didn't change anything, if you were using Force or Hippy's modified version they're still exactly the same .

ForceHSS has submitted a new file, post_thanks_7_85 For 4.2.0 - 4.2.3 vb version updated.zip which does include the search fix along with some other small fixes including the one mentioned by Semprot - http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showp...postcount=3522

Thanks Force!!!

Edit: *This does not mean that you're required to upgrade, it's an updated version from ForceHSS including small fixes and the search fix so with that said, you only need to update if you want the search fix in place and the small bugs sorted (one of which is a comma between usernames to make it display better etc). Please read the most recent replies in the thread for current information from members who use the post thanks mod by Abe1.

The "Collapse" button shows whether the list of thanking members is exposed, or collapsed. He is asking whether the "Collapse" can be changed to "Expand" when the desire is to expose the list of members.

Also, can the "Collapse" button be removed totally, so that the default of the list of members who give thanks is always showing? My 7.84 installation didn't have the "Collapse" button and just showed the list members. I like that better because otherwise it requires the members to click on the button the expose the list (an extra step).

Thanks
