Website back up and running

Thank you all for your patience while the website was down over the last few weeks.

The previous version used version 1.5 of the Joomla CMS. The majority of the features in 1.5 became depreciated, and as a result of this, became open to security breaches.

One of these security vulnerabilities was exploited in the previous site, and as a result, became unusable for many users.

I have now updated the site to the current version of Joomla (2.5), which should mean more stability, and better security.

It does however, meant that some areas of the site do not function correctly. The complex statistics system used by the site, is in fact a stand-alone script, and a custom bridge will have to be written so that it can work with the latest version of Joomla.

This is a very complex project and will take time and effort. In the meantime, the statistics are available, just that the pagination may not be as smooth as previous.

The main slider on the homepage was also incompatible with the latest version of Joomla. Hopefully the new one is still as easy to use. News articles have also been listed below for more clarity.

Some of you may experience ‘500’ errors when attempting to access certain areas of the site. This is an issue I am aware of, and I’m working on. If you do come across one of these errors, refreshing the page should fix any problems.

Other areas of the site have also seen an overhaul:

The Beer Hunter has been the kind of page he deserves!

The layout of the opponent guides have been modified, making information easier to see and relevant. These pages will be updated with current information once line-ups for the 2012-13 season are known.

A season-by-season history is in the process of being written. I have currently only uploaded last season, but these will be updated in due course.

Other than that, most tweaks are minor. I will continue to make sure pages are up to date and in the correct places for the start of next season.

Many thanks,
