I'm testing on latest SVN of Joomla 1.5 and FireBoard 1.0.4 Stable and when i try to add new announcement as administrator

Code:

index.php?option=com_fireboard&func=announcement&Itemid=55&do=add

i get this error:
Hacking attempt


Here is the problem - announcement.php

Code:

if ($do == "add"«») { if (!$editor) { die ("Hacking attempt"«»); }

if i add this line, it works OK !

Code:

$editor =& JFactory::getEditor();

This hack worked for me as well. Thanks for posting it. I've read all of the posts about the evils of WYSIWYG editors and have concluded that this should be an admin's decision. My users are 'trusted' but not 'techie' and no matter how you slice it, bb code is just too difficult for them. They are familiar with MS-Word and nice editors like FCKeditor have been very well received by them. Hope we'll see hooks in Fireboard for these in the future.

All told though, Fireboard rocks.

I tried both ways by changing code. It is not working. I am new to coding business. I mace changes in notepad, saved as the same name & extension & uploaded the php file by ftp. But it is not working.

Try change the code block to this:

Code:

if ($do == "add") { $editor =& JFactory::getEditor(); if (!$editor) { die ("Hacking attempt"); }
