Over the years, I have been collecting bug reports and enhancement requests for NSN GR Downloads (latest version 1.0.3).  I have settled on the scope for the first re-release of this module, version 1.1.0, as follows:

• [Bug Report] Add of new downloads always shows submitter IP as 0.0.0.0?.
• [Bug Report] Case issue with file extensions with numbers.
• [Bug Report] Conversion of EOL characters to <br /> in getit.php Will Cause Compliance Issues.
• [Bug Report] Fix NSN GR Downloads Admin Test of Downloads.
• [Bug Report] NSN GR Downloads "New" produces many &nbsp.
• [Bug Report] No core file edits with Top module.
• [Bug Report] Review upload code for possible exploits.
• [Bug Report] Search does not function properly when using ShortLinks / GT / GT-NExtGEn.
• [Bug Report] Submitter gets overwritten and/or shows "God".
• [Bug Report] Verify Downloads feature "glitches"?.
• [Enhancement] Add anti-leaching capability.
• [Enhancement] Add download Last Updated Date to the download details page.
• [Enhancement] Add thumbnail and image support.
• [Enhancement] Add visibilty in the admin downloads list as to how many times download has been retrieved.
• [Enhancement] Allow for multiple groups to be selected per category.
• [Enhancement] Does not work with new RavenNuke(tm) captcha OOTB.
• [Enhancement] Improve performance by changing double quotes to single quotes throughout.
• [Enhancement] Optimize DynamicTitles for the module - new.
• [Enhancement] Remove include from mainfile.php to the NSN GR module and blocks.
• [Enhancement] Under categories list, show a column that will show admin how many downloads are within each category.
• [Enhancement] XHTML 1.0 Transitional compliance.

I am wanting to keep the scope reasonably small for this first re-release, then we can talk more major enhancements.  For discussion of anything related to this module and its further development, feel free to use either Montego Scripts or RavenPHPScripts forums for this.

Feeling generous this time of year?  Why not throw a little bit Raven's way in support of the RavenNuke(tm) CMS that many of use each and every day.  Even before RavenNuke(tm), Raven's web site has been a generous provider of community support for PHP-Nuke and other forks for many years, with very little asked for in return.  It takes money to host such a site and it takes many volunteers to help provide the support that is there freely given.  

While PayPal is always a good way to donate to many of the great community-based projects, Flattr is another great method of passing along your thanks.  I wrote an article about Flattr several months back as a news article on this site to introduce this knew way of giving.  At the time, Raven didn't have a Flattr account, and while he does not display a Flattr button, you can always donate via Flattr to RavenWebServices (Raven) directly from the Flattr website.

The really GREAT feature with Flattr is that you can also subscribe to a "Thing" - in this case to RavenWebServices - to where the service will automatically generate a click each month for as many months as you wish, essentially acting as if you had clicked to donate each month.  If you only have a little bit to give each month, why not join up with Flattr, find the few open source projects that you find useful and use on a regular basis, and show your appreciation.  Every little bit helps and if all the RavenNuke(tm) site owners would just send a little bit each month, it would go a long way.

Now, to those who celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas to you, and to all, have a Happy and Safe New Years!

My TegoTwitter block all of a sudden stopped functioning and I still have not had the time to dig into the root cause.  However, while reviewing the Twitter API site's documentation on terms of use, I found that I am not able to use "Twitter" in the name of this block.  While I doubt that is the reason for the block no longer functioning, I do want to be in compliance and I also do want to register this block officially with Twitter, therefore, after realizing that I was not in compliance, I have disabled the download until I can rename it and get it officially recognized by Twitter. 

My apologies for releasing a Beta upon the community without being more careful with checking the used API's terms and conditions.  Please discontinue the use of this Beta version until I can fix the issue.  Once fixed, I will make another release of the Beta or just wait for final release.

Thanks and regards,

If you are a RavenNuke(tm) user then you can't display your content properly without a theme.  Right now I have 3 themes which are compliant to W3C standards XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2.1. You can find them at Papa Mike Creations Now having said that, the content on your website needs to be compliant too.

It's pretty easy to do:

Go to validator.w3.org to validate your XHTML code and go to jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator to validate your CSS.

Validate your domain name, then fix the errors (if any) that are found.  I keep 2 browser windows open.  One open to the validator and one to the domain.  I also have my FTP client up and running too.  Then just validate, fix errors, upload the file, validate, fix, upload ..... until you're done.  Simple right?  The foundation of your project is to start with a compliant theme and go from there.  Another thing to mention is that ALL of the themes that come packaged with RavenNuke(tm) are compliant too.

Have fun with your theming.  Also support Montego Scripts all you can.  Help defray the cost in time and effort by making a donation.

Just a quick update: HTML Newsletter 1.4.0 and TegoNuke(tm) Downloads 1.1.3 have been released to the RavenNuke(tm) team as release candidates.  Each contains updates for issues identified by the team. 

We are very excited about these releases as they will be incorporated into the upcoming RavenNuke(tm) 2.5.0 version.  Development, of course, will continue to progress from Montego Scripts on these two products as each has defined product roadmaps.  Click on the link and sign-in as anonymous to see any of our product roadmaps.  If you want to suggest other enhancements, please post as such in our forums and we will gladly take these into consideration.  Of course, as always too, if you find a bug, please use our forums to report them so we may correct them as soon as possible (often times giving resolutions early on in the forum threads themselves).

Back in June, I had a need to make available a bunch of game photos to my son's team parents.  I was having DVD burning issues at the time and so went looking for an on-line file hosting service which could handle a large zip file of the photos plus the download bandwidth.  Unfortunately I didn't have a ton of time to investigate and I found one which looked like it would work for me: www.divshare.com.  Bad decision... even paid for it.

Why a bad decision?  I mean, their Privacy Policy, even today, says: 

We will not disclose personally identifiable information we collect from you to third parties without your permission except to the extent necessary including:

• To fulfill your service requests for services.
• To protect ourselves from liability,
• To respond to legal process or comply with law, or
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation of the company.

Hmmmm... no statement allowing for the selling of my email address to third parties.  Just so happens, I am quite skeptical about any on-line service and so I use Yahoo! disposable email addresses and I create a new one each time I sign up with a new service.  I name these disposable addresses in such a way that I can tell if they are selling my email address when I start getting emails unrelated to the service I signed up for.

What happened next?  I have received nearly 50 spam messages to that specific email address.  Now, in the grand scheme of things, given this was in the span of about 3 months, this isn't much.  However, I do not appreciate being lied to and spammers to me rank right there alongside the common criminal.  Now that I am done with my experiment of watching the spam come in, I have canceled my divshare account and deleted my disposable email address!  Bye-bye you scum of the Earth!

So, if you are a follower of this site, or happen to run across this post in your searching for on-line file sharing/hosting services, maybe I will save you some headaches by not giving www.divshare.com your information.

montego

Members of the RavenNuke(tm)/PHP-Nuke Community have over the years asked if it was possible to not have a module within the site home page.  While it is not current functionality to do that, there is a simple module hack to help you accomplish this.  One must simply create an empty module and then set it as your Home module.  See my forum post entitled Empty Module In Home to see how to accomplish this.

A few bugs were reported since the release of version 1.1.2 that we wanted to clean up quickly, hence this very small patch release. Since this is just a patch release, it is a simple matter of uploading a few scripts and an image. But, please read the README.txt and UPGRADES.txt as always and it will guide you through this quick patch fix. In addition, as always, the CHANGELOG.txt file will list out exactly which files were added/modified/removed.

Several folks have offerred up suggestions for improvement to this hack (thank you Susann and others) since version 1.1.0 was released. So with the upcoming RavenNuke(tm) 2.2.0 (also known as 2.20.00) enhancement release, I made some improvements, both enhancements and bug fixes.  See download change log for details.

For you non-RavenNukers (shame on you - lol) or "early-birds", come Download it now!

The new TegoNuke(tm) Mailer is finally here after a long wait.  It sports PHP 5.2+ only, revamped Swift Mailer and administration module, many new exciting features and loads of on-line documentation.  For a more detailed explanation of the TegoNuke(tm) Mailer and a more detailed list of features, check out the TegoNuke(tm) Mailer Wiki page.

While the Mailer was developed on RavenNuke(tm) for RavenNuke(tm) and PHP-Nuke, it may be possible to use on other *nuke variants with slight variations. Come get the latest download.

A few bugs were reported since the release of version 1.3.1 that we wanted to clean up quickly, hence this very small patch release. Since this is just a patch release, it is a simple matter of uploading a few scripts. But, please read the README.txt and UPGRADES.txt as always and it will guide you through this quick patch fix. In addition, see the CHANGELOG.txt file will list out exactly which files were added/modified/removed.
