Post to MySpace

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

Added functionality to post content to MySpace. Altered the function to allow for Javascript being turned off.

<a href="http://www.myspace.com/Modules/PostTo/Pages/?t=<?php the_title(); ?> | dagensskiva.com&u=<?php the_permalink(); ?>&c=dagensskiva.com&l=3" onclick="GetThis('<?php the_title(); ?< | dagensskiva.com', '<?php echo wptexturize(dsc_generate_excerpt(get_the_content(), 20, 20)); ?>', '<?php the_permalink(); ?>', 1); return false;" class="myspace">Myspace</a>

Patched XML-RPC

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

Updated dagensskiva.com with the patch for XML-RPC released in conjunction with WordPress 2.3.3:

WordPress 2.3.3 is an urgent security release. A flaw was found in our XML-RPC implementation such that a specially crafted request would allow any valid user to edit posts of any other user on that blog. In addition to fixing this security flaw, 2.3.3 fixes a few minor bugs. If you are interested only in the security fix, download the fixed version of xmlrpc.php and copy it over your existing xmlrpc.php. Otherwise, you can get the entire release here. 

Decided to patch rather than do the entire update since we have a lot of registred users that potentially could exploit the security flaw, to make a quick fix to a potential situation.
