Compojoom, developers of CompojoomComment, opened up a contest to hack their comment component. After being alerted to the contest by my good friend Lafrance, I took a peek and had a working XSS exploit within 16 minutes, and after a bit of refining I managed to really mess things up. ;)

Today, JNoGuest 1.0.4 was released. This version adds support for JomSocial registration (including JomSocial Profile Types), fixes a couple bugs, and has some minor changes to JNoGuest's operation.

I've updated JNoGuest to version 1.0.3. No bug fixes, but I've added AlphaRegistration bypass as an option.

UPDATE: It turns out this was an issue with JomSocial Registration Redirector, found at http://www.joomlaxi.com/products/free-products/jom-social-registration-redirector.html and NOT JomSocial. The original article is preserved below...


I've been having "fun" assisting in maintaining a site using JomSocial, and recently ran across an interesting issue. The search engine friendly URLs created for JomSocial by JRoute were not being created properly for links under the Profile tab: changeAvatar, editDetails, etc. All of these links would just redirect to the Profile page. After fiddling around with the settings, ensuring the component was up to date, and double checking the .htaccess, I reasoned that it must be a bug in the router.php. After slogging through the code, I managed to find a fix.

There are some instances where it's desirable to load Joomla! modules outside the context of the site template - in a template override, inside a component, etc. Unfortunately, it's impossible to use the jdoc:include tags outside the template itself. In order to load a module position using PHP, use the following snippet:
