Third party plugin: personal-album_filter November 03rd, 2009

Category: News, Third party

kagutsuchi developed and just released this interessting filter plugin for those who have multiple, self registering users: This filter creates an album for each user that registers automatically so that each user has his own album to which he can upload.

Note: This plugin requires the current nightly/svn version of Zenphoto.

    The RSS feed for this article is showing a load of Phentermine advertising and God alone knows what else. This has happened before on this feed — I’m still wondering if the site’s been hacked. :(

    Thanks, we have seen this before, too. The site was not hacked to our knowledge. It seems somehow to be related to the wp cache plugin we are using since it is mostly gone with the next cache update.

    It’s there in the feed _right now_ if you visit it with a fake Googlebot user-agent. Really, I think you’ve been hacked. I just did this:

    curl –no-sessionid –user-agent “Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)” http://www.zenphoto.org/category/News/feed/

    …and could see the spam. Without the Googlebot user-agent, it doesn’t appear.

    See here: http://linux.byexamples.com/archives/397/wordpress-exploit-we-been-hit-by-hidden-spam-link-injection/ for a description of how someone else got hacked with the same technique.

    Thanks, I will point our team member who takes care of these things to that.

    Thanks for the heads-up, I’ve taken care of the symptoms and upgraded WordPress, as well as locking down the permissions throughout the installation. Hopefully that will fix the issue, but I will keep an eye out.

    Cool. Hopefully I’ll actually get the articles in my news feed now, rather than spam keywords! If I see anything suspicious, I’ll let you know…

    I’ve tried to use this plugin and when I try to create a user I get the following:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function seoFriendlyURL() in /[path-to-zen]/plugins/filter-personal_album.php on line 84

    I’ve looked at it and I’m not entirely sure why I’d be getting this error, please let me know what I can do to fix this. I’d love to try it out because it would help me out tremendously for a project that I am working on!

    Btw, does this make an album that is private and only visible to the user and the admins only?
