wierd block problem.....

[Kaelan]

I have a block I created that includes code for a paypal button. When this block is active, no one can delete PMs because it redirects them to paypal. I also can't edit any blocks because I also get redirected to paypal. If I deactivate the block, it works fine. below is the code I used in the block.

I removed the email addy since I don't have permission from the owner of this paypal account to publish his addy to everyone.  I tried using a HTML block... I tried a javascipt/HTML block.. same results. Does anyone have any suggestions? I can live with deactivating it before making any block changes, but when I found that my users can't delete PMs.. that made this block a NO GO

I used the code as shown and placed it into a jscript/HTML box using "Do not use title/frame" and it shows up just fine. I went into my PM box and deleted an older message without any hangups. I also clicked the PayPal link button and it took me to paypal but said I had an invalid email which was to be expected. I am running SMF 1.0.3 w/ TP 0.6.5 under a modified SMF default theme.

I too use a Paypal button, exactly like described and it does not show any problems. You are sure it isn't some other block that is causing the problems , Kaelan?

[Kaelan]

It was working just fine... that's the weird part. I tried turning off ALL other blocks and had the same result.  I even tried copying in a fresh index.template (just in case I screwed that up.) no change.

I can copy the same block into a test site I have setup and it works fine....and I've messed around with the files on there more than on my clans game site....

Have you recently switched browsers?

[Bjørn]

It might have something to do with the server then..since it only appears there. You don't happen to have a problem with ;id in the queries? That it needs to be &id instead?

[Kaelan]

Hmmmm.... not that I know of.. I saw a post you made about ;id in another thread...what in the htaccess did you do to correct it?

[Bjørn]

I simply put an statement to turn of that module which handles it...[unknown] from simplemachines.org came up with it:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
        # Turn off mod_security filtering.  SMF is a big boy, it doesn't need its hands held.
        SecFilterEngine Off

        # The below probably isn't needed, but better safe than sorry.
        SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

thanks... I'll have to give this a try as soon as the hard drive in our webserver gets replaced.... it picked a heck of a weekend to crash on us. Good thing we do nightly backups offsite

[Kaelan]

well... tried adding that code to the htaccess..... no luck... it's not something with the server since we have another website that uses the exact same code and it works...
