This change can be reverted and SQL injection can be addressed by removing semicolon from the POST field's value.

Topic: Forum now sporting ads (0 replies, posted in Report Bugs here)
Can the ads not be suppressed in the forum or is it by design that needs a client side suppressal?
Here is an addition to the ....etc/hosts file links:
http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm
http://www.hosts-file.net/
We needed 2 more entries for complete suppression with the final ones being:
127.0.0.1 contextual.media.net
127.0.0.1 pagead.googlesyndication.com
127.0.0.1 pagead2.googlesyndication.com

127.0.0.1 googleads.g.doubleclick.net
127.0.0.1 adsettings.google.com
If these become insufficient, then we should not show it openly in the forums anymore if Google wants to smart it.
Caveat: Google's other programs may now check for such entries and lock you out of Gmail and their other applications - then just do not use Google anymore - there are many alternatives.

Re: Withholding tax (5 replies, posted in Wish List)
When you provide a tax retention, do you get re-imbursed by the tax authorities or can you deduct it from payments being made to the tax authorities - this does not seem intuitive.

Re: Withholding tax (5 replies, posted in Wish List)
Make a head of account in the CoA for a tax retention account (for supplier deductions and customer deductions separately) and make an entry for tax deduction as needed to these accounts and then contra them when paid / refunded as the case may be.

Re: Item Description Field Length FA2.4.8 (10 replies, posted in Items and Inventory)
This is the only place where VARCHAR 255 is available in the sql/en_US-new.sql (msg field) Chart of Accounts - unless you used a different one:
CREATE TABLE `0_sql_trail` (
`id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`sql` text NOT NULL,
`result` tinyint(1) NOT NULL,
`msg` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB ;
Compare lines 946-7 in includes\ui\ui_lists.inc:
echo sales_items_list($name, $selected_id, $all_option, $submit_on_change,
'', array('cells'=>true, 'max'=>50)); // maximum is set to 50 and not default 255.
Why was it reduced to 50 characters?
Commits on 2019-07-04 and 2019-07-18 did this change.

Re: Unable to cancel a sales order (5 replies, posted in Accounts Receivable)
@joe: When voiding sales orders / invoices, we may need different approaches to handle payment allocations - prepaid and postpaid.
Make one prepaid sales orde and then cancel it after taking backups at each stage and list the SQLs that change the DB.
Make another normal sales orde and then cancel it and do the same backups.
Now compare the final voidings in both cases and see if any difference exists - if so, the voiding routine may have to be tweaked.

You need the GD extension in PHP to be installed.

if (!$testGD){ echo "GD not even installed."; exit; }
echo"<pre>".print_r($testGD,true)."</pre>";

Re: The Header option from module itself (19 replies, posted in Modules Add-on's)
The pdf forms folder is okay and so is @kvvaradha's suggestion as long as the sysadmin allows it to be uploaded after vetting. Only that it should not be uploadable by the end user into the FA system especially through a normal web interface or user input form..

Re: The Header option from module itself (19 replies, posted in Modules Add-on's)
As long as it is a file that is uploaded in the core it should be okay. If code is pasted into a field in a FA form, it will cause security issues.

Re: Making Tax Digital VAT in UK and EEC (27 replies, posted in Setup)
Most new user downloads from India and some other countries occur from GitHub since the Spoken Tutorial (instructions given during contact classes) use it - this will skew the SF downloads based inferences. Furthermore, many FA service providers in India use UK and US hosts.
