Tutorial : Create Realtime Charts With FusionCharts and Ajax

In this tutorial We will create realtime chart data update that reflect to price fluctuation. There are many solutions to do this, but now we will cover using a nice flash charting component called FusionCharts. FusionCharts comes with several edition, but now we will use the FusionCharts Free version. You can download it from http://www.fusioncharts.com/free/ . By the time of this writing, FusionCharts Free version is 2.2. The price fluctuation is visualized with a line type chart and data will be fetched from database every 5 seconds using Ajax call and then display the latest 5 (five) data to the chart without any page refresh. We assume you already familiar with deploying the FusionCharts Free and have experience using prototype.js, since we don’t explain every details of the tools we used in this article. Please refer to FusionCharts Free documentation about deploying the chart and prototype.js documentation about the usage of the library. Let’s do it 1. You have to download the FusionCharts Free version, extract it, and copy the chart FCF_Line.swf (from the Chart folder) to your web root folder

Critical Security Release Announcement From PHPBB Group

From the PHPBB Group: We are sorry to announce the immediate release of phpBB 3.0.7-PL1 to address a security issue which was introduced in 3.0.7, unfortunately the issue wasn’t noticed during testing and has only surfaced a week after the release of 3.0.7. We promised working feeds for phpBB 3.0.7. Sadly, we were not able to deliver on that promise – a critical bug in the permission handling for feeds slipped past. To all people who already have updated to 3.0.7, it is of critical importance to update to 3.0.7-PL1. Otherwise, it is possible for users to bypass permission settings under the following circumstances: – Feeds are enabled – Any of the posts or topics feeds are enabled – The unauthorised user – or one of the groups they are a member of – has forum permissions set on a private forum – If you have excluded a forum from the list of forums that provide feeds, it is unaffected The fix for the issue is a single line change inside of feed.php, line 525 has changed from: $forum_ids = array_keys($auth-> acl_getf(‘f_read’)); to: $forum_ids = array_keys($auth-> acl_getf(‘f_read’, true));
