XenForo PSA: Potential security vulnerability in Elasticsearch and more via Apache Log4j (Log4Shell)

It has come to our attention today that a vulnerability has been discovered in popular Java logging library Log4j 2 which may allow attackers to arbitrarily execute code (remote code execution). Apache Log4j 2 is bundled with and used in many Java applications including Elasticsearch. XenForo itself is not directly exploitable, and we are currently investigating whether XenForo Enhanced Search can be used as a vector at all, but this is potentially significant enough that an abundance of...

XenForo Updates since we upgraded XenForo.com

Having upgraded XenForo.com yesterday, we've fielded lots of feedback and implemented a fair few changes. Here's a handful of things we've done in response to your feedback. Editor styling We've removed the gradient entirely from the unfocused editor, and changed the styling when the editor is focused so that the background now gets lighter on focus, in order to give an editing background that is more like the final destination background.

XenForo Writing before registering

Participation. It's the life blood of a forum, and once you have a group of dedicated members creating and discussing content, your forum will flourish. But there's a barrier to entry when it comes to participation. When a new visitor stumbles upon your forum from a search engine, they may read the content that piqued their interest and then feel inclined to add their own thought-provoking response, but at that point they are confronted with the dreaded ... at...

XenForo New video series: Building with XenForo 2

A long time ago, in a forum not particularly far, far away (may the fourth be with you), we produced a series of videos showing off how easy it was to build rich pages with XenForo's templates and javascript framework. While many of the principles demonstrated in these videos remain a key part of XenForo 2, most of the syntax employed by XenForo 1 back then has changed, and there are many more tools at your disposal, like entities and command-line functions.

XenForo XenForo architecture in ten minutes

With the publication of our Building with XenForo 2 video series, we've received various questions about a presenting broad overview of the XenForo architecture as a jumping-off point for would-be developers who want to know roughly what's going on behind the scenes. Therefore, with dubious penmanship, we've put together a ten minute overview of how XenForo works. Presenting ideas like the Router, Controller Actions and Replies before handing off...

XenForo Search forums, SEO improvements and dev team news

A new way to surface content Forums are usually devoted to a single subject matter and the threads they contain relate to that subject matter, unless it's all gone wrong and your users are wandering off topic. Threads belong to their parent forums, so if your board separates posts about kittens from posts about puppies into separate forums, you are never going to see a kitten thread and a puppy thread sitting next to each other within your forum hierarchy. This... Read more Written by XenForo - (Weiterlesen)

XenForo Forum and thread types

Forums contain threads and threads contain posts. It's been the essential framework of forums on the Internet since the public migrated from usenet to the web. The structure is well known and well understood - though the origins of some of the terminology are lost in the mists of time. Who ever came up with the notion of your site being a forum, but these separate containers for related threads also being forums? 🤷🏼‍♂️ But back on topic, and we all know that...

XenForo Enhanced Search 2.2 - Similar Threads

In the beginning, XenForo Enhanced Search (XFES) was intended to be a simple drop-in replacement for MySQL full text search, primarily aimed at large forums whose operation would potentially suffer when attempting to search very large database tables. As a drop-in, XFES only made use of the enhanced search index and speed for the formal search system, but with version 2.2 we are starting to leverage more of the power afforded by the Elasticsearch back-end. Similar... Read more Written by XenForo - (Weiterlesen)
