digitalFAQ.com Forum - Configurable Tag Cloud plugin updated for WordPress 3.4.2+ [DOWNLOAD]

Configurable Tag Cloud Update:

A lot of popular WordPress plugins have not been properly updated for several years now, and contain deprecated code. While the plugin may seem "fine" when its activated in wp-admin, deprecated code often means that it's not functioning properly. This tends to only be noticed when you enable debug mode in the wp-config.php file.

Configurable Tag Cloud gives the following error when activated:

Code:

Notice: has_cap was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 2.0! Usage of user levels by plugins and themes is deprecated. Use roles and capabilities instead. in X:\...\wp-includes\functions.php on line 2722

Notice: has_cap was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 2.0! Usage of user levels by plugins and themes is deprecated. Use roles and capabilities instead. in X:\...\wp-includes\functions.php on line 2722

These refers to permissions based on user levels (old, wrong) vs permissions based on capabilities (new, correct).

Between lines 59 and 94 of admin_page.php are 8 lines of code that begin with "input style" and contain deprecated code wp_specialchars()

Code:

                    <td><input style="text-align:right" type="text" id="ctc-number" name="ctc-number" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($options['number'], true); ?>" /></td>

                    <td><input style="text-align:right" type="text" id="ctc-minnum" name="ctc-minnum" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($options['minnum'], true); ?>" /></td>

                    <td><input style="text-align:right" type="text" id="ctc-maxnum" name="ctc-maxnum" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($options['maxnum'], true); ?>" /></td>

                    <td><input style="text-align:right" type="text" id="ctc-smallest" name="ctc-smallest" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($options['smallest'], true); ?>" /></td>

                    <td><input style="text-align:right" type="text" id="ctc-largest" name="ctc-largest" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($options['largest'], true); ?>" /></td>

                    <td><input style="text-align:right" type="text" id="ctc-mincolor" name="ctc-mincolor" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($options['mincolor'], true); ?>" /></td>

                    <td><input style="text-align:right" type="text" id="ctc-maxcolor" name="ctc-maxcolor" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($options['maxcolor'], true); ?>" /></td>

These need to be changed to esc_html() instead:

Code:

                    <td><input style="text-align:right"  type="text" id="ctc-number" name="ctc-number" value="<?php echo  esc_html($options['number'], true); ?>" /></td>

                    <td><input style="text-align:right"  type="text" id="ctc-minnum" name="ctc-minnum" value="<?php echo  esc_html($options['minnum'], true); ?>" /></td>

                    <td><input style="text-align:right"  type="text" id="ctc-maxnum" name="ctc-maxnum" value="<?php echo  esc_html($options['maxnum'], true); ?>" /></td>

                    <td><input style="text-align:right"  type="text" id="ctc-smallest" name="ctc-smallest" value="<?php echo  esc_html($options['smallest'], true); ?>" /></td>

                    <td><input style="text-align:right"  type="text" id="ctc-largest" name="ctc-largest" value="<?php echo  esc_html($options['largest'], true); ?>" /></td>

                    <td><input style="text-align:right"  type="text" id="ctc-mincolor" name="ctc-mincolor" value="<?php echo  esc_html($options['mincolor'], true); ?>" /></td>

                    <td><input style="text-align:right"  type="text" id="ctc-maxcolor" name="ctc-maxcolor" value="<?php echo  esc_html($options['maxcolor'], true); ?>" /></td>

Also in admin_page.php at line 151 is a deprecated reference to user level 8:

Code:

add_options_page('CTC', 'CTC', 8, 'ctcoptions', 'ctc_options_page');

Change to activate_plugins():

Code:

add_options_page('CTC', 'CTC', 'activate_plugins', 'ctcoptions', 'ctc_options_page');

Between line 272 and 281 of base.php are 4 lines of deprecated code attribute_escape(), wp_specialchars() and clean_url()

Code:

        $tag_link = clean_url($tag_links[$tag]);

        $tag = wp_specialchars($tag);

            $a[] = "<li class=\"ctc-tag-li\"><a href=\"$tag_link\" class=\"ctc-tag tag-link-$tag_id\" title=\"".attribute_escape(sprintf(__('%d topics'), $count))."\"$rel style=\"font-size: ".$tag_weight

            $a[] = "<a href=\"$tag_link\" class=\"ctc-tag tag-link-$tag_id\" title=\"".attribute_escape(sprintf(__('%d topics'), $count))."\"$rel style=\"font-size: ".$tag_weight

These need to be replaced with esc_attr(), esc_html, and esc_url (respectively):

Code:

        $tag_link = esc_url($tag_links[$tag]);

        $tag = esc_html($tag);

            $a[] = "<li class=\"ctc-tag-li\"><a href=\"$tag_link\" class=\"ctc-tag tag-link-$tag_id\" title=\"".esc_attr(sprintf(__('%d topics'), $count))."\"$rel style=\"font-size: ".$tag_weight

            $a[] = "<a href=\"$tag_link\" class=\"ctc-tag tag-link-$tag_id\" title=\"".esc_attr(sprintf(__('%d topics'), $count))."\"$rel style=\"font-size: ".$tag_weight

Between lines 61 and 100 of widget.php are 8 lines of code with deprecated code wp_specialchars()

Code:

                <td><input style="text-align:right" type="text" id="title" name="title" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($options['title'], true); ?>" /></td>

                <td><input style="text-align:right" type="text" id="number" name="number" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($options['number'], true); ?>" /></td>

                <td><input style="text-align:right" type="text" id="minnum" name="minnum" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($options['minnum'], true); ?>" /></td>

                <td><input style="text-align:right" type="text" id="maxnum" name="maxnum" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($options['maxnum'], true); ?>" /></td>

                <td><input style="text-align:right" type="text" id="smallest" name="smallest" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($options['smallest'], true); ?>" /></td>

                <td><input style="text-align:right" type="text" id="largest" name="largest" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($options['largest'], true); ?>" /></td>

                <td><input style="text-align:right" type="text" id="mincolor" name="mincolor" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($options['mincolor'], true); ?>" /></td>

                <td><input style="text-align:right" type="text" id="maxcolor" name="maxcolor" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($options['maxcolor'], true); ?>" /></td>

These need to be changed to esc_html() instead:

Code:

                <td><input style="text-align:right" type="text" id="title" name="title" value="<?php echo esc_html($options['title'], true); ?>" /></td>

                <td><input style="text-align:right" type="text" id="number" name="number" value="<?php echo esc_html($options['number'], true); ?>" /></td>

                <td><input style="text-align:right" type="text" id="minnum" name="minnum" value="<?php echo esc_html($options['minnum'], true); ?>" /></td>

                <td><input style="text-align:right" type="text" id="maxnum" name="maxnum" value="<?php echo esc_html($options['maxnum'], true); ?>" /></td>

                <td><input style="text-align:right" type="text" id="smallest" name="smallest" value="<?php echo esc_html($options['smallest'], true); ?>" /></td>

                <td><input style="text-align:right" type="text" id="largest" name="largest" value="<?php echo esc_html($options['largest'], true); ?>" /></td>

                <td><input style="text-align:right" type="text" id="mincolor" name="mincolor" value="<?php echo esc_html($options['mincolor'], true); ?>" /></td>

                <td><input style="text-align:right" type="text" id="maxcolor" name="maxcolor" value="<?php echo esc_html($options['maxcolor'], true); ?>" /></td>

And that's it. [x2x]
