Siteframe Beaumont 5.0 Beta 2 As usual with these sorts of things, the first few people to do a clean installation turned up a number of relatively minor but annoying bugs, so I thought I would go ahead and push an updated version. This release has enhancements to setup.php to ensure that the site's configuration is valid before installing, as well as a number of small documentation and template tweaks. Please see the...

Differences Between 3.x and 5.x Here are some of the major changes between Siteframe 3.x and Beaumont (5.x): Siteframe 3.x had a number of document types: Article, Uploaded File, Image, Event, Poll, etc. Beaumont has a single Page object, with optional file attachments. The structure is much easier to understand and use in Beaumont. Beaumont does not support Poll or Event data because of insufficient demand....

Siteframe LaGrange Siteframe LaGrange (4.x) was an experimental version of Siteframe that was never formally released. It has since been superceded by Siteframe Beaumont (5.x). However, a number of websites were built using LaGrange as their base, so the code is provided here in case someone's interested.

Siteframe 3: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Vulnerability Siteframe has, unfortunately, been shown to be vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks. In this case, an attacker from a remote site can use a security hole in Siteframe to access files on the attacked computer. There is a fix; you need to edit the file web/siteframe.php and change this line (which appears near line 20 at the top of the file):     if ($LOCAL_PATH ==...

Siteframe 3.1.9 Version 3.1.9 is the most common release of Siteframe available "in the wild." However, it has known security issues and should be avoided in favor of Release 3.2.2 if at all possible.
