Bug fix for reg globals off

9 Jun 2009

Few People having a problem when Register globals is swiched off.

You click edit, and nowt happens.

Anyway, I did not come up with this so credit goes to a guy called tsteele from the forum. I thought I would add it here as its not well known.

I have also included the 'new_attributes.php' file which you can simply replace.

Hi Folks,

Here's the fix for folks trying to using Mike G's awesome new attributes with Register Globals off (it does not work). If you are using OSC MS 2.2 RC2 or OSC MS 2.2 RC2a (the most recent 2008 releases) from January 15 and January 30, 2008...Mike's new_attributes mod will not work.

I spent a lot of time trying to debug and found a very simple fix that only took 7-8 hours to arrive at.

I thought I would give a little back to the OSC community and post it in the new_attributes support thread.

Here's the fix...

1. Back up your Admin area FIRST!

2. Make sure all files Backed-Up successfully.

3. Install New Attributes as per Mike's instruction...it is a very easy Contribution to install!

4. Open new_attributes.php in you text editor...I use Text Wrangler on a Mac. Do not use Word, instead use Notepad or your favorite editor on the PC.

5. Find the requires in new_attributes.php on line 5 and line 6:

require('new_attributes_config.php');
require('includes/application_top.php');

Right after add:

if (isset($_POST['current_product_id'])) {
$current_product_id = $_POST['current_product_id'];
}

if (isset($_POST['action'])) {
$action = $_POST['action'];
}

if (isset($_POST['optionValues'])) {
$optionValues = $_POST['optionValues'];
}

if (isset($_POST['x'])) {
$x = $_POST['x'];
}

if (isset($_POST['y'])) {
$y = $_POST['y'];
}

if (isset($_POST['cPathID'])) {
$cPathID = $_POST['cPathID'];
}

if (isset($_GET['current_product_id'])) {
$current_product_id = $_GET['current_product_id'];
}

if (isset($_GET['action'])) {
$action = $_GET['action'];
}

That's it your done! Save new_attributes to your server and enjoy!
