WordPress as a Membership Directory

WordPress as a Membership Directory: After the recent tutorial on setting up WordPress as a Contact Manager, Chris Cagle has written up a tutorial on WP Designer on how to use WordPress as a Membership Directory. He has setup a Membership Directory for Pittsburgh Designers and uses his experience from that project to outline the steps, plugins and code required to set this up for yourself. Beside the annoying CSS bug that puts a text box in the middle of every page, the setup looks nice, highly versatile and very useful for both designers (in this case) and future clients. I really like the Members Directory and the ability to display detailed contact information and portfolio of every designer. Even the signup is automated (and modified to suit the need) and relatively painless. I am curious to know what they plan to do about possible spammers posing as designers, but […]

S@BUN is at it again, this time, reporting multiple SQL Injection Vulnerabilities within the Photo Album plugin for WordPress. According to the security bulletin: Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Photo Album (plugin for WordPress), which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries. These issues are caused by input validation errors in the “wppa.php” script when passing user-supplied parameters (e.g. “photo” or “album”) to certain functions (e.g. “wppa_album_name()” or “wppa_photo_name()”), which could be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks. Multiple security advisory services places this round of vulnerabilities as a Moderate Risk. For example, FrSIRT describes the Moderate risk as being: Remotely and locally exploitable flaws, which could lead to denial of Service or privilege escalation. Versions 1.1 and prior of this plugin are vulnerable. As always, it is recommended that you disable this plugin until a patch for it is released. [EDIT] […]

I needed a *quick* and *simple* method to embed YouTube videos into my posts and wrote a small plugin to do just that. This way you do not need to find the embed code from YouTube or do anything special. You just copy the URI of the YouTube video and paste it into the body of your post. This has been tested with 2.3.x and 2.2.x and it works on both. I can add other video and media embed ability if there is request or demand. Installation is simple. Download the zip file, unzip, copy to your wp-content/plugins directory and enable. Then test by copying and pasting a YouTube URI into a post and publishing it. Thats it! Download Plugin: Embedify 1.02 (update) Please leave comments, feedback and requests. [EDIT] Please do not do anything with the URI. If you align it or make a clickable link out of it, […]

HOW-TO, WordPress FAQs, WordPress Plugins

A while back I wrote about listing your plugin to the official WordPress plugins directory. The tutorial was for windows and I have been on the look-out for a Mac version. Since I have been unable to find one, I will present to you a step-by-step tutorial on how to add and modify your WordPress Plugin using a Mac. To begin this tutorial, I first have to make some assumptions. My Assumptions Your plugin has already been approved over at WP Extend Plugins. You are running at least OSX Tiger You have WordPress locally installed. If not, please read Jeff’s tutorial on installing WordPress locally. You already have Subversion installed. If not, here’s a good tutorial on installing Subversion on a Mac. If you have Leopard, Subversion is already installed. You have downloaded and installed svnX. svnX has a nice GUI for those who don’t like to use Terminal commands. […]

NBBN has discovered some cross site scripting vulnerabilities for the WP-Footnotes plugin version 2.2 for WordPress. Input passed to the “pre_footnotes”, “priority”, “post_footnotes”, and “style_rules” array elements in the “wp_footnotes_current_settings[]” array in the admin_panel.php script is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user’s browser session in context of an affected site. The good news this time around is that, ‘register_globals‘ must be turned on for exploitation to occur. If you are using this plugin on your site, it is advised that you disable the plugin until a security patch has been released. According to the security bulletin, the solution is to edit the plugin source code to ensure that input is properly sanitized. Again, if you know that your webserver has register_globals turned off, you are in the clear. S@BUN has reported an “id” […]
