I dont know if this is the place to ask, but where else?

I am trying to use the excellent vBExternal program for my VB forum to put threads on my php website frontpage. The vBxternal is made for 3.0.7.

When I copy this code:

Jeff Chandler — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 06:45:07 +0000

Keith, Andrew, Jacob and I discussed the news of the week. In fact, I tried to break the world record by opening up as many cans of worms as possible within a 60 minute period. You’ll have to listen to the show to hear if I was successful.

Plugin Of The Week:

Jeff - WPTuner – WP Tuner for WordPress is a powerful and easy way to answer hard questions about why your blog is slow or cranky. What’s causing the slowdown? Is it a plugin? Is it your host? This plugin will help you find out. Used with a bit of common sense, this powerful plugin helps blog administrators as well as software developers improve their WordPress blog performance - One caveat with this particular plugin is that it’s not for the faint of heart. While I was able to understand what the plugin was showing me, it may not be that obvious to you. Be sure to read the plugins readme file and the associated help documents before using it.

Keith - Comment Approval Notification - This WordPress plugin will send an email to comment authors once their held-for-moderation comment is approved.

The WolfHound Segment:

Bill needs some help working with WordPress. He came away from WordCamp Dallas excited to use the software but has run into a few roadblocks and thus, needs our help. So to help Bill out, we have created the WolfHound segment because we know that not everything we cover on the show is addressed to a specific audience. I’ve been told numerous times by new comers who listen to the show that the content flies over their head. If this sounds familiar, this segment is for you.

The Short History Of The Blog And Near Term Goals:
Here is a quick history of Bills blog. - Installed a late 1.x version and have been updating along the way and experimenting with themes. Just recently I finally installed Akismet after I starting get hit with spam. Being that I still considered it to be “in work” I never really let the world know it was out there. I guess you could say that I have two sets of goals. One being near term and the other long term.

First, the near term goals.

1) Get my logo to work on my chosen theme (Chameleon 1.0 by Ainslie Johnson)
2) Only have most recent articles (2 max) appear on front page
3) Settle on what should be considered “must-have” plug-ins

Listen to the show to hear our responses. If you disagree and feel you can help Bill out better than we did, leave a comment with your tips and suggestions.

Announcements: Lisa Sabin Wilson, Author of the WordPress For Dummies book is scheduled to appear on November 28th.

vBulletin 3.7.4 PL1 Released

vBulletin.com Announcement: vBulletin 3.7.4 PL1 Released
Author: Mike Sullivan
Published: 21st November 2008 01:33 PM

vBulletin 3.7.4 PL1

An XSS flaw within the user control panel has recently been discovered. This could allow an attacker to carry out an action as a user or obtain access to a user's account. To resolve this issue, it is necessary to release a patch level version of vBulletin 3.7.4.

vBulletin 3.6 is not affected. vBulletin 3.8 is affected, and the next beta/release candidate will include the fix.

The upgrade process is the same as previous patch level releases - simply download the patch from the Members Area, extract the files and upload to your webserver, overwriting the existing files. There is no upgrade script required.

As with all security-based releases, we recommend that all customers upgrade as soon as possible in order to prevent any potential damage resulting from the flaw being exploited.

Upgrading from 3.7.4

If you are already running 3.7.4, the process you will be required to follow to make your board immune to this flaw is very simple.

There is no need to run an upgrade script if you are already running 3.7.4.

Visit the Patches section of the vBulletin Members' Area and download the patch for 3.7.4, then extract the files from the archive you downloaded, then upload the files to your board via FTP etc., overwriting the existing files. This will update your version to the PL1 release.

Upgrading from Versions Earlier than 3.7.4

If you are not already running 3.7.4, you should download the latest version from the Members' Area and perform an upgrade as normal.

Full instructions for upgrading vBulletin are available here.

Download vBulletin 3.7.4 PL1

As usual, the version released today is available for all customers with valid, active licenses to download from the vBulletin Members' Area.

You can discuss this patch release in the existing 3.7.4 release discussion.
