I have not even loaded 7.7 yet. But, you can try this. In mainfile.php you have this code

Code:

foreach ($_GET as $sec_key => $secvalue) {


   if ((eregi("<[^>]*script*\"?[^>]*>", $secvalue)) ||


   (eregi("<[^>]*object*\"?[^>]*>", $secvalue)) ||


   (eregi("<[^>]*iframe*\"?[^>]*>", $secvalue)) ||


   (eregi("<[^>]*applet*\"?[^>]*>", $secvalue)) ||


   (eregi("<[^>]*meta*\"?[^>]*>", $secvalue)) ||


   (eregi("<[^>]*style*\"?[^>]*>", $secvalue)) ||


   (eregi("<[^>]*form*\"?[^>]*>", $secvalue)) ||


   (eregi("<[^>]*img*\"?[^>]*>", $secvalue)) ||


   (eregi("<[^>]*onmouseover*\"?[^>]*>", $secvalue)) ||


   (eregi("\([^>]*\"?[^)]*\)", $secvalue)) ||


   (eregi("\"", $secvalue)) ||


   (eregi("forum_admin", $sec_key)) ||


   (eregi("inside_mod", $sec_key))) {


      die ("<center><img src=images/logo.gif><br><br><b>The html tags you attempted to use are not allowed</b><br><br>[ <a href=\"javascript:history.go(-1)\"><b>Go Back</b></a> ]");


   }


}





foreach ($_POST as $secvalue) {


   if ((eregi("<[^>]*onmouseover*\"?[^>]*>", $secvalue)) || (eregi("<[^>]script*\"?[^>]*>", $secvalue)) || (eregi("<[^>]style*\"?[^>]*>", $secvalue))) {


      die ("<center><img src=images/logo.gif><br><br><b>The html tags you attempted to use are not allowed</b><br><br>[ <a href=\"javascript:history.go(-1)\"><b>Go Back</b></a> ]");


   }


}

It's probably either the style or the img tag that is the issue. Start by commenting out the references to style. If that doesn't work, then try img. Now that's a quick fix. There may need to be a more permanent one, but that should get you by.

Hello, I commented out both style and img references but no joy unfortunately.

Hello all, still have this problem, I re-installed the latest patch but still have no joy, I am wondering now if my database tables could cause this problem?, its the only problem left on my site and is becoming an headache to be honest.

Try this. Remove or comment out all the gt code and see if you still get that error. Let's rule out the GT before trying anything else.

Hello Raven, I commented out the GT from the footer and header files and found that the function articles I wanted to work did work but not in short urls..... thing is the footer and header I have which are the latest from GT-Nextgen site are the latest files I know off, do you know of any newer footer and header files around? as I cant do without GT now its so very good.
thanks

I suspected the GT code Smile

. Just play around with the GT code. It's probably very close to being correct and shouldn't be that hard to find.

Hello again, I have spent a few hours now trying to sort this problem but with no joy unfortunately, Its probably something staring me in the face I expect as usual, oh well I`ll have to just hope GT-Nextgen starts getting updated soon.
Thanks for your help anyway

This is all part of new function of using TinyMCE as the editor in PHP-Nuke 7.7 instead of using using the "old" methodology of having text tables.

I have touched on this a little in the moderators forum as well in my post that recommends that users NOT implement 7.7, but my point is that TinyMCE is an HTML editor that is putting HTML variables and code in places where baseline Nuke rules say HTML code is forbidden.

Now a few things to note.

First, check your mainfile.php for all instances of & not having the & This will screw up the GT properties and yes, FB put that those stupid bugs back in again, and no, for some reason the "patched" updates did not address or fix this problem.

Most likely because Chatserv and others don't know about the issue yet and they would probably assume that since these problems have been fixed 20 times already, even as recent as 7.6 baseline, only a complete moron would put these bugs back in the base code again..... and yes, FB is that moron. You'll have to search all of your files for these types of old problems that WERE resolved, being re-introduced in the 7.7 code. Need I say more?

Next, if you have groups permissions from something like NSN groups, you need to go through the mainfile and add all of that code back in MANUALLY!

That should get you started anyway. But if you want my recommendation it would be to NOT use 7.7 but instead to revert to 7.6 at the very latest!

Just my two cents.
