My about+links page link is now loading a blank page, and I wonder if someone can help me get it working again.
I recently discovered that my version 1.3 installation of pixelpost got hacked; basically someone found an exploit in v 1.3 that they used to insert some PHP files into my images and thumbnails folders. These scripts were apparently inserted to create links to a rotating array of doorway pages, and in the process they screwed up my photoblog.
I've removed these files, but still can't get the "about+links" link to load that page. The about_template.html file is still there in the templates directory, so it should load, but apparently something's wrong with the link itself. Here's the code for the link from the image_template.html file:
<a href="index.php?x=about" title="about Steve, and some links">about
+ links</a>
Is this correct?
I don't know enough about PHP to understand how the link functions or to diagnose the problem. It seems that the scripts somehow rewrote some of my pixelpost files. The photoblog's index page was not loading (just got a blank page). I replaced the index.php file from a backup that I (luckily) had on hand, and the index.php page now loads properly (as well as the archives page), but not so for the about+links page. Just a blank page.
Any help is much appreciated. (Yes, I plan to upgrade to version 1.4.3, but want to get this resolved first.)
thanx,
steve
PS: I can provide the offending PHP files if anyone's interested...
