mikespe · July 4th, 2005, 11:18 AM

What if we hare using a pre-Modded version of phpBB (IntegraMOD) and are waiting for them to make the update? I know we are not suposed to use the files on phpbb.com to update modified versions of phpBB...

Thx

You can always use this tool to upgrade only the main phpBB files that being effected.

Download This

This doesn't over write any files as you do the code changes ourself. also makw sure to run the SQL file in the install folder to bring your DB up2date

thx Tek....but it is not advised to use plain phpBB updates on premodded versions...

However they said there will be a release on the 9th so I am hoping surpass will extend the deadline until then (so if any mods are reading this please pass the word along).

The only really big update is within the viewtopics.php file. thats where the exploit starts, you may just be able to do the code changes for that single file to bring it up to spec with Surpass, for the time being. Then when IM brings out there's you can always simply upload a back up of the un-moded veiwtopics.php file.

Incase you want to look there is only one entry,
viewtopic.php
FIND

Code:

$message = str_replace('\"', '"', substr(@preg_replace('#(\>(((?>([^><]+|(?R)))*)\<))#se', "@preg_replace('#\b(" . str_replace('\\', '\\\\', $highlight_match) . ")\b#i', '<span style=\"color:#" . $theme['fontcolor3'] . "\"><b>\\\\1</b></span>', '\\0')", '>' . $message . '<'), 1, -1));

REPLACE WITH

Code:

$message = str_replace('\"', '"', substr(@preg_replace('#(\>(((?>([^><]+|(?R)))*)\<))#se', "@preg_replace('#\b(" . str_replace('\\', '\\\\', addslashes($highlight_match)) . ")\b#i', '<span style=\"color:#" . $theme['fontcolor3'] . "\"><b>\\\\1</b></span>', '\\0')", '>' . $message . '<'), 1, -1));

Of course it's up to you.

Yeah, you should be able to do the code changes yourself, as the phpbb modded version is still just phpbb with additional features.

Well according to IM's site the new version will DEFINITELY be out no later than July 9th...plus Surpass extended the deadline for disabling out-of-date phpBB sites to July 12th...
