Sheffield Blue Template Support Thread

Would this solve the problem of them using "http://ourwebsite/index.php?option=com_tag&controller=tag&task=add&article_id=-260479/**//*!union*//**//*!select*//**/concat(username,0x3a,password,0x3a,usertype)/**//*!from*//**/jos_users/**/&tmpl=component" where "ourwebsite" is the home page URL for the sake of our discussion? It appears they're skirting login and going straight for the PHP file(s) as well as username and password data. I'm not a coder but this doesn't look nice. Most are based in Beijing and Eastern Europe.

As currently configured, they're not allowed to send mail unless they're registered and logged in so they're redirected to the login/register page. None of them have EVER registered or logged in...... but the "contact_us" links (/index.php?main_page=contact_us&action=send&zenid=*********) keep humming along. This problem has been posed in other parts of the forum but nobody has offered a workable solution to date.

I am happy that you like the template and use it for your live site ;)

Have you been banning the offending ips? There is no absolutely fool proof way of stopping spam, but you might consider removing the contact us form from the header drop down and installing the google recaptcha module for your contact us page.

If you want to replace the footer contact us link you will edit includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/sheffield_blue/footer_menu_defines.php

Define('CONTACT','<li><a href="mailto:your email address">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONTACT . '</a></li>');

Thanks,

Anne

Thanks again Anne. You're a sweetheart. I placed the following code in the email address to reduce spam harvesting of email addresses on the site. Replace the @ symbol with @ so that the email address would be yourname@company.com.

Great now I've edited the includes\languages\english\extra_definitions\sheffield_blue\footer_menu_defines and social_defines .php and um broke my main page...
The scrolling banner and the social media boxes are now gone.. ive tried replacing both those .php files and then activating the classic template and then activating the sheffield templates, ive tried clearing my cookies and cach and still nothing.
