For the past few weeks, many Exponent websites have been under attack were successfully hacked.
The type of hack and process for execution has been identified. With the combination of some cleaver SQL passed through via url to certain
... [More]
Exponent Modules lacking proper request value sanitation, the hackers were able to pull up information from the user table. The password for Exponent users are converted to an MD5 hash before being saved to the database, but if the password isn't strong enough, the hackers were able to easily take the MD5 hash to any number of websites that will reverse the md5 hash, giving the hacker's the access they need to mess with an exponent site to their liking.
Details about how this hack was accomplished, and how to protect your site against these attacks are explained in detailed on this thread. [Less]

A few helpful updates for everyone. First, we have provided a security patch for you .96 installs. Many of you are still running some really old Exponent code, so we want to make sure you guys have the latest patches to keep them running

smooth. It is strongly recommended you
download and install these patches immediately.
There are two files in this patch that are important:
files/.htaccess
modules/filemanagermodule/actions/picker.php
Just upload them to those exact places on your website, in your current install of Exponent .96 and they will take care of some known security issues. Make sure you don't miss the .htaccess file, it will be invisible on you system in some cases (if you are not familiar with web development).
.96 will no longer formally be supported
Second, we want to encourage everyone to move on from the .96 codeline into .97. The .97 codeline is the current stable version, and we have a pre-beta release of the new 2.0 codeline available as well. Both of these are currently the focus of attention, and we will not continue to support .96 or provide patches.
Thank you all for your continued support of Exponent CMS! [Less]

Online Innovative Creations has been invited by the World Organization of Webmasters, Central Illinois chapter to give a presentation on Exponent.
First, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jonathan Worent. You may know me better from
... [More]
the forums as pebcak_error. I have been a developer with Online Innovative Creations for a few months now. Outside of OIC, I am also the World Organization of Webmasters (WOW) Central Illinois chapter president.
Being the WOW chapter President, Exponent user, and OIC Senior Web Developer, I am in a unique position. I have twisted the rest of the OIC team’s arms to give a presentation on Exponent at our next WOW meeting (Oct. 15th 6:30pm CST). Normally, our meetings are in person (and private as there are dues to be a World Organization of Webmasters member). But as an Exponent user (and developer) I wanted to try to get you, the Exponent Community involved.
We are going to attempt to broadcast the WOW meeting as a web conference so that you guys can listen in on the Exponent presentation. I only have 40 connections available. They will be on a first come first served basis so you’ll need to email directly for more information.
October 15th
6:30 PM CST
Only 40 spots available
Email jonathan@oicgroup.net for information.

The Exponent 2.0 codeline has now become Open Source and available for download.
This release of the code is targeted towards developers and community members wishing to get more involved in documentation and bug testing. Over the last
... [More]
month, us here at Online Innovative Creations have shifted our focus towards getting the systems and guidelines in place to allow for more community involvement in the development process.
Although us here at OIC are very pleased with how Exponent's new framework is shaping up, we don't feel it has the polish you'd expect from a beta release. We also don't want to miss out on the valuable input and help we stand to gain from the community who's itching to get their hands on the code.
You can download a copy of the current MVC codeline on exponentframework.org. Be sure to check out the latest Developer Blog before you get started to know what to expect from on install.
Thanks to those community members who've been so patient (and persistent!) in getting in to the new code. Your support has been encouraging. [Less]
