Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Plugin: WP-Weather] Two instances in plugins listClick the Image link for a screenshot. Note that it thinks one copy is active and the other isn’t, but it I attempt to delete the inactive copy it ends up completely uninstalling.
This is WordPress 3.0.4 with wp-weather 0.3.11. I’ve installed and uninstalled it a few times as I was going through the choices of which weather widget to add to my site. The plug-in works fine, but shows this funny admin symptom.
There are two defects in this plugin. Both appear to be fixed in the CIMY User Manager plug-in that it was based on.
The first is a security issue: The export saves the user list to the system tmp directory. On a shared server this exposes your user account data (including passwords) to other users of the server. This is fixed in the CIMY plug-in by saving the data to a location within the wordpress installation.
The second is an issue with the download of the file, which does not appear to work reliably in this plug-in. This is fixed in the CIMY plug-in.
Also, the CIMY User Manager plug-in supports Import, which this one seems to have de-activated.
