Since last few months, KoBE, the admin of TechLife forum was developing & redesigning the Challenge site for Team Reboot to adapt it to MyBB so that it can be hosted within the TechLife forum itself. I'm more than happy to announce that today the first phase of the development is over. It is now hosted at a demo TLF board. What I request to reboot members is to grab an account at the demo board & do some penetration testing to find out hidden vulnerabilities. Here lies the new home of Challenge site. Also please do not forget to get back to us about any suggestions, ideas, concerns via this thread.

Ignore the last entry for this test. I was testing to see how it would submit a challenge, but I noticed there's no way to remove a challenge or edit one.

KoBE will add it later. For the time being, it will be done from back end.

There is one "Submit Challenges" tab which should only be visible if you are a member of Team Reboot group @ TLF. Can anyone please confirm if it's working as expected?

@KoBE,
The "View Stats" tab is showing incorrect data in the sense that it's listing out only the first "Most attempted Challenge" while there are three more with the same number of attempts. Can it be corrected?

I already tested, logged in as a test dummy username created through admin cp, Submit Challenges is available to Admin usergroup (includes myself and KoBE on TLF), and the Team Reboot usergroup ID.

Ok, thanks for the confirmation.

If any Team Reboot member has joined TLF, please let us know so that he can be added to the Team Reboot group at TLF to publish challenges.

Thought this would be an appropriate enough place.

Which one do you think would be better to identify members of the group that would be able to edit/add/submit challenges on Tech.Reboot? Nothing better than asking all of the Reboot members themselves :)

Please explain what you mean by this. Currently the downloads go into the /mybbchallenge/files/ directory.

@KoBE,
The "View Stats" tab is showing incorrect data in the sense that it's listing out only the first "Most attempted Challenge" while there are three more with the same number of attempts. Can it be corrected?


It can. Is this a likely occurrence though? And what would you propose for the remedy? List all the challenges that are tied? At that point if we had 10 challenges that were tied then they would all be shown.

If any Team Reboot member has joined TLF, please let us know so that he can be added to the Team Reboot group at TLF to publish challenges.


They can send me or Ace a PM, or you also have the ability to add members yourself.

I concur. :D


Thanks to everyone that is testing this out. I am by no means a great PHP coder so I really appreciate anyone finding vulnerabilities. I can provide the source if anyone is handy with PHP and want's to check over the security as well. There are still a few things that could be done. Also, if anyone wants to help develop any further areas then I am for that as well. :D.

I've been really busy as of late but now that this is just about complete I am going to try to get any and all suggestions done as soon as possible.

How about #1 with a plus sign instead of the on/off symbol? Personally I associate reload with the symbol in #2.

Many Greetings

Yeah, that must be why KoBE and Holmes.Sherlock appreciate that one a bit more. That's what I was going for is the power or reset button to be more specific.

One thing to note: If either me or KoBE add a user, and that user is added through AdminCP, that user can no longer be demoted from the group by the leader, he/she has to be demoted through the AdminCP the way the user was added. Holmes you should have ability to add anyone you wish though :) Feel free to add whoever is in the group over there.

I mean when you access http://tech.reboot.p.../Challenge1.ZIP it shows the same page like the one on root: http://tech.reboot.pro with this address in the bar: http://tech.reboot.p.../Challenge1.ZIP and not downloading anything like it should.

I do not think this is because of script, if the files are uploaded there on /files/ folder, I think this may be because the settings in the.htaccess file and further in the php.ini file.

Ace, you can add them through the UserCP.. you are also listed as a group leader as well.

Also, all Team Reboot members are listed on the Forum Team page. In order to be shown there and also to have the userbar displayed. You much go to the UserCP->Group Memberships and set Team Reboot as your display group.

I've added and changed the display group for you MichaelZ.

I registered some minutes ago, but have no possibility to define the Team Reboot membership.

I see:

Registered (Display Group)

(You cannot leave your primary group)



BTW: How to read the forum's team page?

At least that would correct then. Presently it's displaying somewhat confusing info.

Being a leader of the group, I can view all the members. But I have no idea how non-leaders can see the members of the group they belong to in MyBB.

Oh, ok. Yes. I haven't moved the challenge files over yet. So any files not there will be redirected to the index page. I actually need to go through the current challenges and remove the hyperlinks. Because this challenge system will automatically generate a link if the Challenge<#>.zip is located in the files folder.

How can I mread this page?
Peter


At the bottom of the index page there is a link called 'Forum Team'

or you can get to it here: http://tech.reboot.pro/showteam.php

Nuno Brito was added by the AdminCP to his own special group at first which may be why. I would have to change his settings from the AdminCP but I never edited florin. I think florin just has to set his to the default display for Team Reboot.

I set florin's username to display as Team Reboot. I'll set Nunobrito up as well

In order to show up on the Forum Team page and display the user bar. The member must set their Display group to Team Reboot. They must do this themselves under UserCP-Group Memberships

True :)

It's all configured now though, Nuno Brito is set to his group, and with the display of Team Reboot, and i've set florin's display to the Team Reboot group for him :)
