Stefano commented some strange behavior of nodewords module which I patched to use new form API on Drupal 4.7.

The "Meta tags" fieldset in node/add page has the same weight (40) asthe Preview button. This makes the fieldset show below the Preview button. A lower value (35, for example) brings the fieldset in the right position.

Ah... I have seen this behavior but never thought it was my mistake. Thanks you very much. I will use this useful thing to fix this kind of bug later. I have made a new accumulative patch including this bug. You might upgrade or not. It’s just minor bug.

phpBB is a powerful and popular bulletin board software running on top of PHP and mySQL. However, you will get some trouble to use so popular softwares. Can you guess what kind of trouble you will get from phpBB? It is a very simple one. If you have deployed phpBB for a year you could encounter this situation. Yes, it is hacked again and again.

My friend is providing hosting services on FreeBSD server. This server is very secure. However, it was hacked 2 days ago through phpBB deployed by his customer himself. The result is that the hacker successfully added a cron entry to run IRC bot. Then he found that the installed phpBB had at least a vulnerability relating to mishandling string.

According to my last patch to make nodewords module work on Drupal 4.7.x, it worked nearly perfect until I tried to attach a file to a node using standard upload module. Whenever I did it, I got following error messages.

Fatal error: Cannot create references to/from string offsets nor overloaded objects in /home/sugree/www/howforge4704/includes/form.inc on line 277

Sadly, I tried to fix this problem in form.inc with no luck. Eventually, by the help of var_dump(), I found that the actual problem is "description". There is other fields named description in upload fieldset so form builder always get confusing how to render this form.

I have just found that ip2cc module doesn"t know the country of all IP from United Kingdom. The reason is ISO3166 used GB to identify United Kingdom but IANA used UK instead. To fix this problem, I added UK to iso3166.mysql so it will find the right country successfully.

Please update iso3166.mysql and apply it again.

There is a bug in system.module which caused Drupal 4.7.0 beta 4 to reject password changing according to array functions. This bug has been discussed in http://drupal.org/node/46759. The patch is available right now.

I have got some strange problem with my laptop for a few days after installed driver for Chronos Web Camera PC380 (CamMaestro 4.7 EU build 21). The device worked great with a little lack of light compensation. However, I was unable to remove the directory which contained the setup file. It seemed there was some process that was being opened the directory for unknown reasons. I tried to find that process in Task Manager with no luck.
