Announcements

Geeklog 1.5.1 is now available for download. This is mostly a bugfix release for Geeklog 1.5.0 but it also includes a few minor improvements. For users of 1.5.0, this is a recommended update, as it fixes quite a few bugs and rough edges in 1.5.0.

Geeklog 1.5.1 also addresses some security issues, as detailed in a separate article. For the list of changes, please refer to the documentation and the included changelog.

Security

Geeklog 1.5.1 addresses the following security issues:

  • The recently reported file upload issue in FCKeditor. A fix is now included. When upgrading from earlier versions, we strongly recommend that you remove your old copy of the "fckeditor" directory and replace it with the version that ships with Geeklog 1.5.1 to ensure that old files are removed and replaced properly.
  • Mark Evans reported that our protection against direct execution of include files did not work properly on non-case sensitive file systems (e.g. on Windows). This only affects sites that weren't installed correctly in the first place (the files in question should not be reachable from the web). This includes sites installed through Fantastico, though.

The following issues are bugs in Geeklog 1.5.0 regarding the access control for stories:

Left & Right Block Formatting in 1.5.1

Geeklog

Geeklog Themes support the ability to define a different template for different blocks. So your "What's New" block can render differently to your Login block etc. This is done by populating an array called

$_BLOCK_TEMPLATE
in a theme's functions.php file. This array is populated with the identifiers for blocks and can set specific block header and footer templates used to format specific blocks to give them a unique look and feel.

The Professional theme that ships with Geeklog prior to 1.5.1 provides logic within functions.php to alter the template for blocks without a specific template assigned to be the left or right block template depending on which side the block has been placed by the site administrator. This changes with Geeklog 1.5.1
