List of Files Upgraded in Drupal 4.8 and 5.3

I've updated my lists of Files Changed by Drupal Upgrades for those interested. I use this to only copy and replace the files that were actually changed - which prevents me from having to upload the entire directory structure. Note - I don't guarantee these lists to be accurate/ use at your own risk!

Cheers,

My Drupal Site was hacked

I'm working on porting my current xoops site over to drupal....
I awoke this morning to log in and do some work on my dev site and come to find it was hacked! The Mafia Hacking Team seems to have taken over my page and posted up their own index.php It looks as if they have not hit the files themselves, just removed every file in my root directory.

getwiki module beta available -

get wiki articles from any mediawiki server and display on your site. You can theme the output to match your site - it is based on the getwiki plugin for wordpress.

You can download it at http://www.hyrme.com/

Avoid E-Commerce Update!

You may have received a security notice stating that there were problems detected in the e-commerce module. Don't Update E-Commerce. At least two people (I'm one of them) are having a problem with the update that causes pricing information to disappear from the forms and the node output, as well as loss of the "Add to Cart' link. This might be isolated, but an e-commerce site that can't sell products is worse than one with an obscure security problem.

New CCK module to attach existing images in server or upload new one

I have a beta release of a CCK image field that works with IMCE to either let you select an existing image on the server or upload a new one. Feedback welcome.

you can download it from http://www.hyrme.com/d5/files/imceimage-beta.zip

You need IMCE installed to use this.

TBD:
Support multiple images on same field - you can have multiple image fields that use this functionality but you cannot have a single field that accepts multiple images.

Adhoc bug fixes.

Drupal 6.0 beta 2 released

Update: Drupal 6.0 Beta 3 is available now!

Our first Drupal 6 beta version was released just over a month ago, so given the large number of usability improvements and bug fixes that we've added since then, we're proud to announce the release of the second beta version of Drupal 6.x for your testing. This beta version includes all the latest security bug fixes as released in Drupal 5.3 and 4.7.8. The first beta announcement provided a comprehensive list of improvements made since Drupal 5.x, so in this announcement we'll concentrate on how you can help ensure that Drupal 6 is released as soon as possible and is as rock solid as the previous Drupal releases that you've grown to love!

The most notable change is that we moved the long time favorite Drupal.module out of the Drupal package. It will instead be available as the contributed Site network module. This was done because Drupal 6 has a more secure and widely supported solution for distributed authentication in the form of the OpenID standard.

We've also fixed a number of issues since the previous beta. We fixed numerous PHP notices, upgraded to jQuery 1.2.1, included a more secure solution for IN() queries, added schema based load and save functions, extended built-in AHAH functionality so developers can write AHAH code without JavaScript for different types of form elements, merged .schema files with .install files, made it possible for themes to override core and module CSS files and made it possible to have comment settings per node type, among a number of other improvements.
