PhotoPost Classifieds 2.4 Security Update

[Michael P]

======================
PHOTOPOST CLASSIFIEDS 2.4
======================

This is a consolidation update along with some bug fixes and some new security code inherited from the latest version of PhotoPost. The new security code in place prevents unexpected data from being passed via URLs which can be used to corrupt data being submitted.

The zip code database has also been seperated into 4 files to help those users who have memory constraints.

Anyone who is running a prior version of PhotoPost Classifieds is strongly encouraged to upgrade to 2.4.

Files changed from 2.4:

/*.php (except config-inc.php, config-int.php, install.php)

/forums/*.php (you only need your integration file)

/languages/*.php

Note: You will notice that many of the language files have been combined into one. Because of the functionality to create new templates, there are still some individual files which are stored in the language directory while are used to overwrite the default settings. If you use custom templates, then you simply need to keep the same set of files with only those strings you need to overwrite from the original set.

templates/:
bids.tmpl
bulkupload.tmpl
contact.tmpl
custompal1.tmpl
login.tmpl
membhead.tmpl
payment.tmpl (important update to conform to new PayPal POST system)
profile.tmpl
search.tmpl
searchmem.tmpl
showcat.tmpl
showmembers.tmpl
uploadproduct.tmpl
uploadproduct1.tmpl
uploadproduct2.tmpl
uploadproduct3.tmpl
templates/vb3enhanced/*.tmpl

Note for vB3Enhanced users: We no longer require you to copy your templates over the old ones, you now upload the vb3enhanced directory in its entirety and Classifieds will select this directory automatically when vB3Enhanced mode is enabled.

How do I upgrade?
-----------------

1) In your Admin Options, close your classifieds.

2) Backup your database.

3) Copy the files from the ZIP download in the main directory as outlined above.

Note for vB3Enhanced users: See note above concerning new templates directory layout.

4) Run the upgrade.php script and follow the upgrade instructions to upgrade from your current version.

Note that all the upgrade scripts have been combined into one easy-to-use upgrade script and you no longer have to upload individual scripts from the upgrades directory.

5) Once the upgrade is complete, delete the upgrade.php script and reopen your classifieds.
