RE: [WSG] Issues making compliant code using Joomla! [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Chris Vickery]

Thanks James. What sort of security flaws did you find? I have been told to 
make sure the system is up to date, but not much info on what to look out for.

I know recently there was a big breach where a Viagra company worked out how to 
get a bot to insert their branding into page metadata.

I stopped using Joomla! because of security flaws and the whole system is code 
bloated and difficult to understand. The documentation is also weak.

I started getting to grips with Symfony, although strictly not a CMS, it offers 
alot more power and flexability.

Good morning Alex and Florin,

I hope it would be possible that Florin could have the sample ready for 
me today. Do you think it's possible? (Please tell him to use the sample 
code I posted.


Also I would be great if I could have the header for the formbuilder 
index page (whip and devil@) and the side thing for the 4 header images. 
Then I could finish of the formbuilder this weekend.


Let me know...

Coincidentally, only yesterday did I discover a number of joomla-based

and this morning fresh new code had been injected.

We've got a company setting a site up for us in Joomla. Their other

suggestions.
