It reads to me Yellow Slider has included it in his code, not vBResults, not Steve

I can't write code, but all I know is this mod has helped me enormously as an online Newspaper publisher, and I need it in Calendars and Blogs, it's like I'm being forced to Buddypress on WP to be able to do what I want to do.

IMHO these forums are almost unsustainable, so many great modifications not being ported to 4.2.2 or upgraded as required, even if there are fixes for mods sometimes you have to trawl through pages to find. I spend many hours sifting to find 4.2.2 info. Can someone build a "Stick@end" mod so ALL the latest upgrades to a mod for 4.2.2 can be clearly available,.

My biggest frustration is that 99% of developers are Forum only orientated, the CMS seems alien, forget Blogs and Calendars...pfft...I came in 1t 4.0.1 and chose vB for the CMS, Social Engine was close, WP was still just a Blogger style thing...we've been streeted.

Don't get me wrong, I love all youse dudes, spend a lot of time (too much...my point). It has got to become easier for dummies like me if the platform is to survive.

A LOT of these codes are now public domain, I see that heaps of developers say to use their codes to improve. There are a number in 3.6 that would answer a few questions.

I have paid now many thousands to vB developers, a lot I have chucked or not used, my site is maybe one of the most modified sites ever using vB4.2.2, I went sick, yet I still can't do anything easily.

Happy to support anyone supporting the Publishing Suite Blogs, Calendars, please...CMS widgets that actually work and look cool...

This would be a very sensible idea.
An area dedicated to all 4.2.2 mod updates...

+1

I guess this is the wrong area for this discussion..
Maybe it will get moved to a newly created 4.2.2 forum?

Not a phrase, a template and code to get your email address. Not against the rules but as always mods are use at your own risk.

I've experienced security issues with this mod enabled and would like to know what the point of this code is:

<script type="text/javascript">
(function ($) {
    $(window).load(function() {
        $('#aweber-form').submit(function() {
            $(this).attr('action', 'http://www.aweber.com/scripts/addlead.pl');

            if (!$('#it_email_1').val().length) {
                alert('Please enter your email address.');
                return false;
            }

            setTimeout(function() { window.location.href = '{vb:raw redirect}'; }, 1000);
            return true;
        });

        $('input[type="reset"]').click(function() {
            window.location.href = '{vb:raw redirect}';
        });

        $('#webmaster-email').click(function() {
            $('#it_email_1').val("{vb:raw vboptions.webmasteremail}");
            return false;
        });
    });
})(jQuery);
</script>]]>

and also this one:

$_HIDDENFIELDS = array(
            'meta_web_form_id' => '317459914',
            'meta_split_id' => '',
            'listname' => 'vbresults',
            'redirect' => 'http://vbresults.com/blog/confirm/',
            'meta_adtracking' => 'yellowslider',
            'meta_message' => '1',
            'meta_required' => 'email,custom Authentication Token',
            'meta_tooltip' => '',
            'custom Authentication Token' => substr(strtoupper(md5($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . md5($_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'] . md5(COOKIE_SALT)))), 0, 13)
        );

Hi,
@Gadet101: take a look at this addon

While this works in 4.2.2 in the CMS it erases tags from a page and prevents new tags from saving.

The problem I have is the "time" it posts. The time posted shows 2 - 3 hours before the time I actually posted it or the time I set for it to be posted. Yes, I have checked the my time on the site, etc. It still shows the posts 2 - 3 hours before that time.

Seems doubtful to me. No PHP files are uploaded. This is just a template modification.

What is your evidence?
