Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

Well, a little searching found that this needs to be allowed in the php.ini file by adding the following.
allow_url_fopen = On;
allow_url_include = On;

More research suggests that doing this would allow a huge opening for DoS attacks and scripting injections both of which I'm quite familiar with from running php-nuke sites. Back then I was able to install a security module that would automatically ban anyone trying hack into my sites.

Any opinions about this, or maybe it should be a new topic in the security forum?

Thanks

I'm looking at alternatives for this.

This fix uses a CURL alternative to "allow_url_fopen".

Just unzip the package and upload the file to your admin folder.
