The third alpha release, AptitudeCMS 0.2.0 has been released. This update focused on theme development and now sports a proper theme manager that not only allows you to create new themes but also allows you to edit the template files, javascript and ... [More] other web assets. This released was focused on the theme engine to encourage those of you with a knack of making sites look good to give AptitudeCMS a spin. This release was ultimately inspired by our current not-so-pretty theme so we hope some of you Geeklog theme devleopers will try your hand at AptitudeCMS themes. We're confident you'll agree working with templates in Flexy will be much more enjoyable than the old PHPLIB engine. Documentation and questions should be directed to the AptitudeCMS site. [Less]

The AptitudeCMS Development Team is proud to announce the release of AptitudeCMS Alpha 1. AptitudeCMS, formerly known as Geeklog 2, is meant to be the next generation of Geeklog. To be clear, Geeklog is not going anywhere, rather it will remain as ... [More] a sister project with AptitudeCMS for the foreseeable future. The system requirements of AptitudeCMS reflects its new generation status: Apache 2.x with mod_rewrite support, PHP 5.3 and MySQL 5.x. To be 100% clear, this is alpha software and is not intended to be run on any production websites. With that being clear you may download AptitudeCMS and then read our growing documentation. Those interested in a full rundown of the features of AptitudeCMS should read on. AptitudeCMS Features: 100% Object Oriented PHP 5 - This makes extending existing functionality a breeze. Simple & Powerful Plugin API - AptitudeCMS, using PHP 5 Interfaces, provides a proper API that makes writing complete application for AptitudeCMS a breeze. Event Management - Plugins can now register the events they fire or ask to be notified when the event from anther plugin is fired. This make integrating multiple plugins easy. Use of PHP sessions - Geeklog predates the implementation of sessions in PHP. AptitudeCMS supports PHP sessions and, by default, stores all session information in the database Caching Support - We've added caching support via Zend Framework and have made it easy to for plugins to make use of the cache. Flexy Template Engine - We've replaced the PHPLIB template engine Geeklog uses with Flexy. Flexy not only improves performance by compiling the templates to PHP, it also is a key part of our security model a it will escape all output by default preventing Cross Site Scripting (XSS) Referential Integrity - Geeklog's roots began way back before MySQL supported referential integrity. AptitudeCMS makes use of these newer features in MySQL AJAX Support - AptitudeCMS ships with jQuery making AJAX and DOM manipulation a snap. Tagging Support - Out of the box AptitudeCMS supports tagging Advanced Input Filtering - Using a combination of Zend Framework and HTML Purifier AptitudeCMS makes input filtering, a key activity in developing secure PHP applications, as easy and flexible as possible. Pretty URLS - Geeklog supported a fairly simple means of URL rewriting and AptitudeCMS expands this by making URLs across all plugins half-way readable through the use of mod_rewrite and MVCnPHP, a model-view-controller implementation [Less]

Last week, an exploit was published that allows unauthorized direct uploads to a Geeklog site, using the PHP connector included with FCKeditor. The uploads still have to go through FCKeditor's filters, so it's not possible to use this to upload ... [More] scripts and the integrity of the Geeklog site as such is not in danger. As it turns out, however, this exploit is now being used to host malware on some Geeklog sites. So it seems we completely underestimated the impact of this issue. Geeklog 1.6.0sr2 is now available for download and ships with a much more restrictive configuration for uploads through FCKeditor. There's also an archive to upgrade from 1.6.0sr1 and an updated version of the drop-in FCKeditor replacement for older Geeklog versions. If you don't use FCKeditor (aka "Advanced Editor") on your site, the easiest and safest method is to simply remove the entire fckeditor directory (from your public_html directory). Otherwise, please install one of the above updates ASAP. Independent of this issue are reports about Geeklog sites being hacked through two older FCKeditor-related issues (see: File uploads through FCKeditor and FCKeditor input sanitization errors). So if you haven't installed those updates yet, please do so ASAP now. In retrospect, we really dropped the ball on this one. While we were looking for a fix, we didn't realize the potential misuse of this exploit and thus didn't treat it with the urgency it would have required. Our apologies for that. I'm also taking some personal responsibility for this issue, since I'm not using FCKeditor myself and haven't really looked into it too closely. The issues in the upload configuration were really obvious (our fault, btw, not FCKeditor's) but went unnoticed. Sorry about that and we will be reviewing the FCKeditor integration for the next Geeklog release. [Less]
