telling me there is a new version whenr there isn't

[sibling chris]

as per topic thread title

I'm already running tp 1.0 beta 4 (1083) on smf 1.1.9

I'm getting a message when I try and save a block and the block end up not being saved

An update is available!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New TP version available: TP v1.0 beta4 (1083)



Check new modules or just browse the available packages for TP, please visit the package servers page in SMF.
If you don't have TP server in your list of package servers, be sure to add one with this adress: http://www.tinyportal.net/tpmods

Only thing I changed recently was to add a custom Tpwireless.template.php file to my phobos theme folder

and also I've been tweaking my htaccess file to block spammers


can anyone tell me why this happening?

[sibling chris]

weirdly this just stopped happening and now I'm getting HTTP 406 errors when trying to save the php block

the php block I am using works 100% OK, I only was trying to tweak a single parameter when this occured. If I edit the code directly in the database there are no problems encountered while executing the code.

I have managed to track it down to some ECHO statements and the 406 occurs when trying to echo out a PHP variable of some description or fuction return value

posting this code works

Code Select Expand


echo '<script type="text/javascript" src=""></script>';


posting either of the following does not work and results in HTTP 406

Code Select Expand


echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="' . mgal_theme_url('swfobject.js') . '"></script>';


Code Select Expand


echo $settings['default_theme_url'];



I don;t think posting the entire php block is relevant

chris,

Unfortunately, there is no way for one of our coders to debug your code if you refuse to post it.  In this case, you will have to fix the problem yourself.  If this is what you would like to do, would you like me to mark this topic solved?

hey ther's no need to get so arsey about it!

...I just said I didn't think it was relevant given what I've already looked into and described

Here it is

Code Select Expand



global $sourcedir, $boarddir, $user_info, $ID_MEMBER, $context, $txt, $galurl, $galurl2, $scripturl, $settings, $db_prefix;

// load SMG components
require_once($sourcedir . '/Subs-MGallery.php');
loadMGal_Settings();
if(loadlanguage('MGallery') == false) loadLanguage('MGallery', 'english');

// default settings that can be changed
$scrollerFolder = $boarddir . '/Themes/default/mgallery';
$scrollerItemsFileName = 'imageScrollerItems.xml';
$scrollerItemsFile = $scrollerFolder . '/' . $scrollerItemsFileName;
$scrollerMaxItems = 20;
$scrollerHeight = 160;
$scrollerWidth = 800;


// insert client side javascript code to display the image scroller
// all 'addVariable' items can be amended to suit

if ( 0 != filesize( $scrollerItemsFile ) ) {
   
echo '

My web host is telling me that despite the fact I managed to post this in the first instance that it should have always been blocked by their mod_security configuration

The only option I Think I have therefore is to switch it off in htaccess for this specifc page

I am assuming therefore that this is not a TP or SMF application issue per say.

Can someone tell me do I have to do this for a specific TP php file or will I have to apply it for index.php?

Switching off mod_security for index.php bothers me, but should it?

Cheers all

Many hosts run without mod_security. You don't HAVE to turn it off if you install TP manually.
