Hello the script is articleMS, available at www (dot) articletrader (dot) com I want someone to tell me step by step on how to do the following: from the admin page, under the "articles" tab, where i can add new articles as well as edit existing articles, i want to do the following - To add a new field in the form (this field should be in the articles table), where this form, when first loading, it will popular a list of checkboxes, with the values coming from a different table in the same database. when submitting the article, or editing any existing article, i want to select these checkboxes (single or multiple). when i submit, i want those values to be stored in the same field in the MySQL table. its very simple, just i dont have the time to do research and do it myself. I want someone to write me a step by step guide on how to do this, and i'll do it myself.... to understand what i mean, you need to install the script and test it. this is the first task, i have other tasks later on, so this will be like a start of a long term deal.... PM me how much you can do this and how long it will take you...it shouldnt take more than 2-3 hours... thanks
May I suggest that you look into the security issues involved with this script and it many versions before you invest to much time in this project.
these scripts have inbuilt holes which are known to the programmer of script and they can easily find who have installed it on their site and they misuse it by using those limitations PHP based applications if not properly written can cause havoc on site either by the programmer or by people who come on site. For example the submit article form can be misused contact us form can be misued to send mails to people instead of admin. There are numerous flaws which exist on site knowingly or unknowingly Memory optimization ,SEO optimization and many other areas in which these readybade cheap scripts lack. Sometimes these scripts are locked and the code is not at all editable by other person. Regards Alex
Good post kmap! The ArticleDirectory script is the most hacked of the bunch. Not sure which script the site mentioned by the OP is using.
