Maian Music v1.3 Revision - Flash Player Update

Some of you may have noticed that Premium Beat recently upgraded their flash players. As I had to revise the player in Maian Music I decided to have a look at what else was around first and found this superb open source mp3 flash player. This is a terrific player and is fully customisable. It makes a great new addition to Maian Music.

The script has now been updated to include this new player and the Premium Beat player has now been removed. Check out the Maian Music demo to see the new player in action.

Video Tutorials & Script News

I`m currently in the process of doing some video tutorials for Maian Support. This is to help people set up the system easier and also understand some of the functions. Video tutorials will start to appear in the next few weeks and be a feature of all script updates from now on. Video tutorials are better learning tools than written words and should be more helpful.

Maian Cart is progressing nicely and should be available as a beta download before I go to Hong Kong in November. I decided to re-work some of the script, hence the delay. I still have lots to do, but am confident it will be done this year. The new version does look quite nice, even if I say so myself. :)

Maian Recipe and Maian Music then get updated with some new features and functions. Information for all these updates appears on the script pages as things start to happen.

In the meantime, hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Security Updates - July 2010

A few script invunerabilities were reported to me this week by mr_me, a member of Corelan Team. These issues were handled in a very professional manner and not made public. I have since fixed these issues and prepared an update package for the affected files.

To download, click the following:
Security Updates July 2010

Affected scripts:
Maian Cart, Maian Events, Maian Gallery, Maian Uploader, Maian Weblog, Maian Recipe & Maian Greetings

Note that some of the files in the zip file were not affected, but have been modified as a security precaution. These updates are ONLY for the current version and should be updated if you are running the current version installed before July 21st 2010. If you are unsure, replace them anyway.

It is worth noting that most admin issues are easily avoided by renaming the 'admin' directory to something unique. You should AWAYS rename the admin directory when you install any scripts from this website.

My thanks to mr_me of the Corelan Team.
