DCPI site?


Recommended Posts

Has anyone been on the DCPI site lately? It looks like it's being spammed/hacked pretty badly. The page is covered from head to toe with links to some pharmaceutical site. Hope it's something easily solved.

####, that looks pretty ugly. Site's totally unusable.

I've cleaned things up and will have to do the post-mortem to determine how it happened.

In the future, should you notice anything strange about any of our content - please send a PM to myself (JohnD) and Mike New (MikeN) ... which will notify us via email. As hard as it may be to believe, I don't check this forum on a regular basis. I was lucky that this happened to be the first topic, so showed on the main forum listing.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Interesting... I've see this all the time when viewing that page from my cell phone (Motorola Razor 2nd gen. model)... thought it was something off the google ad sense...

so... it's been there for quite a while, for at least a year. Never thought much about it, though.

hidden under the body closing tag... we're seeing it now because the background tag got a space squeezed in.... very interesting

Trashed again.

I'm sorry folks - but I'm going to have to take the DCPI site offline for a bit .... until I can get home and spend some time working on it. I've been out of town on some family medical issues in the Midwest (since before DCI) and hope to be home to California by the end of next week or so.

Perhaps its time to make the upgrades to the underlying code for the site and get a few things done that have needed it. However, I don't see that happening for a month or so, given my schedule. I'll do my best to get it done as quickly as I can ... and certainly in-advance of the next season.

If you have any questions or comments - please feel free to PM me.

Thanks for your patience .... and again, my apologies.

Wow I'm slow. Never mind. :innocent:

I've done some preliminary work on the upgrade here on my test system. As expected, there's quite a bit to get done in order to preserve all of the features / blogs of the previous environment. ALL of the scoring systems and league-specific things are just fine, as they were written outside of the Joomla! environment.

I'll let you know how things are progressing.

Does anyone besides me think its funny that someone took the time to hack a drum corps site? Let alone a fantasy drum corps league?
