Fantastico Viper Guest Book

[Matt]

LOL!

Boy I really am glad I do not have to maintain Fantastico.

Its probably a very difficult job to keep up with all of these little scripts, their constant updates, and in this case, EOL (End Of Life)

I'd say 100% NO DO NOT install the guestbook if the developer's site says that the project is dead.

It may work this week, but over time more and more exploits will be found, and if there are no available updates, the end result will probably be a hacked website.

Have you contacted Nettenburg yet and notified them of the issue? I am thinking they would remove it from the library if they heard this.

Let me know, otherwise I will ask tell them about the issue and see if they will remove it from their 3rd party software bundle.

Sorry about the late response. I contacted the Nettenburg site and they directed me to their General Forum where I found the following Posts:

• Question to Nettenburg Support Forum- I have a question though regards one of the scripts in the list we currently use/have.. it's regards the Viper guestbook. It's a great guestbook, and works very well. However, it appears on their main site the project has stopped: http://www.vipergb.de.vu/ It shows the message "The ViPER Guestbook project is dead. It's strongly recommended to uninstall the script!" Especially the last comment makes me wonder if there are any problems (security issues) with it, or if we can just keep on using it? Any thoughts on this?
• Answer from Nettenburg Support Forum- There are no known security issues as of now. You can keep on using it. If any security issues are discovered, we will deprecate it within Fantastico

The above can be found at: http://www.netenberg.com/forum/viewt...per+guest+book

I'm not sure what they mean when they say they will "deprecate (?) it within Fantastico." On another Nettenburg Forum they did mention that possiblily several Guest Books will be available in Fantastico 3. When version 3 becomes available will GlowHost be upgrading?

Thanks for all you help. You guys are real pros.
