i won’t pass
-
That’s really annoying. I’m sure you’ll get it done.
-
What I’m hoping is that by looking at some logs, given the time it occurred, I may be able to find something out. Won’t know until I try it.

Caught the ass hat hacker in the act….. The ass is a member and targeting the story manager story info update. Restored the db from an earlier clone and have now laid a trap….

I’m making progress, turned updating off for now as I don’t want a breach while I’m at work. That being said, looks like they were bogged down by the trap that they didn’t get too far. You can post new stories and chapters, but editing existing is turned off.
-
thanks for your work manta!
-
We’re going to need an extra special wicker man for this ass hat, aren’t we?
-
Profile editing, registration, activation, and password reset unlocked.
Next unlock and backup in a few hours.
-
Partial ready-only mode, story manager unlocked. Profile editing will unlock in a couple of hours. Trying to figure out where exactly our hacker is getting in.

The only thing I know about coding is that rubber ducky trick.

Sitting in read only again for a bit, Ass hat hacker attacked again. I need to get a couple of hours sleep before I look at the code. Had to roll back 24 hours

Giblet those hackers!
-
I did panic post in general staff questions but then the forum went down. So i don’t know if anyone saw it
-
@InvidiaRed I saw it and took steps to restore what I could.
Now that I’ve slept, I’m cloning the db as a quick backup then I’ll be unlocking areas starting with areas that require login. so story manager will be unlocked in about a half hour from now.-

Story Manager is now Live!!!!

So my father-in-law recently survived a stroke, unfortunately. (He’s a real narcissistic ass) and that side of the family is pushing for my husband and I to send well wishes to him…. So, any suggestions for bland / neutral ways to say “congratulations on your continued existence.”?

Story manager rewrite 25% done & new donations plug image.

Update 2! Reviews are under the new code and functioning.

Great to hear.
Small thing I noticed, not a serious concern right away. Under the Television category, the tab title (forgot what it’s officially called), is actually “Telivision”. Like I said, not a hugely important thing to fix immediately.
-
Thanks for catching that.
fixed now. I rely a lot on spell check since English is not my first language…. *Wanders over to the non-english french section*

Glad I could help.

Update! Story display is now in the new code, and you can now from within a story one click add a story to your current reading or recommended reading. You can also now delete current reading or recommended reading stories from your profile.

It is slowly creeping back to life. I don’t have a definite eta, but I’ve been on a roll of releasing sections every few days. Today, stories along with the ability to manage recommendation and current reading just rolled out. Next is reviews, and then the story manager (Authors have been waiting on this one).
-
As I’ve said before, you will have those functions soon enough. In other words, sit tight, and it will be available when I am done with it. Right now, you can only add and remove authors.

url? The user control panel is now directly integrated in with your profile when logged in.

Fiction portal 1.0 was written in php 4, 2.0 was done in php5 and ported to php 7 for the forums with bare bones changes to retain functionality. Fiction portal 3.0 is being done in php 8(current). The biggest issue for 2.0 is that security functions in php 5 were depreciated in php 7. The injection attack only affected the stories tables. Every thing else was untouched. We assumed the worst that they had managed to bypass login requirements. Thankfully that was not the case. The attack was done via the archive search engine which only queries the stories table. If you are really worried reset your password, that will log you out everywhere and allow you to secure your account. Whom ever this hacker is they are not fond of AFF. While in read only mode there have been a few attempts to overwhelm the server and crash it. That slows down my progress 😞.

Until I get the story manager, you will not be able to post anything
-
You’ll be able to add and remove from both soon enough. It will no longer be a manual process, much like with favourite authors it will be a simple click of a button.
-
It’s a bit of a slow roll-out, as stated in the news most of this new look and functions were planned for a November roll-out, the injection attacks forced the schedule forward, so every section gets tested then released as fast as possible. And as members report any bugs or issues, those are fixed before rolling out the next section.

I have two kittens, they do not leave my desk alone. If I forget to hide my keyboard, it leads to issues…. Typos being a minor thing compared to some stuff.
-
Found a typo in the code for current reading and a bad story title that was messing with output. Check it over now.
-
Registration, login, and password reset are all live and have been tested for the archive. if you can’t log in, you’ve either mistyped your e-mail or have not activated your account from the activations e-mail.
-
The archives are slowly creeping to life! The New indexes are roling out with some changes I’m sure authors will like.

Know the headache you’re going through Manta. Hang in there.
-
Hi could you give me some examples of those broken links? I’ve seen a few submising to recomemended and current reading where the archive is set wrong and thus become broken. I’m in the process of simplifying how it is done, much how recommended authors and added and removed now.
-
Archive repairs & recode are sitting at around 50% done. Archives are next followed by the story manager.
If you like what you see so far please donate to the site and if you feel generous say it’s a bribe for me to work faster

Please make sure you’re taking breaks and getting sleep okay? I know the job is probably ungodly long.
-
I’m taking care of myself, pushing through as best I can
And I still have my day job to worry about. (I get a decent nap on the bus durng the commute there and back.)
I have two carrots hanging at the end of my stick, the first is my winter sewing and the other is to finish fixing my 3d printer. -
I’ve been poking around where you direct me to. So far, everything is looking and working great!

Took a short break as I’ve noticed a lot of invalid avatars in the user profiles.

Aw, that’s why I never did the avatar, the image link thing instead of actually storing the image into the database.

I love the new profiles!

The new profiles are awesome!
