Easyblog clashes with "Securitychek"

HI Support,

I am running into a problem with Easy Blog and my security software Securitycheck Pro. I set Securitycheck Pro in Easy Config mode with .htaccess protection.

A lot of times my customer is not able to write a blog, especially if the writing takes longer. He will be redirected to a 404 address and the blog will be automatically saved as a draft. This also happens for example in the backend administration when Super User wants to change authors.

Another time my client received a "404 view not found [name type, prefix]: blogs, html, easyblogView" error and the whole backend crashed.

I set up a com_easyblog as an exception at the .htaccess protection (redirects to /404 if the correct administrator path is not set up) config but the errors remain.

Please help!

Regards,
Sebastian
Thanks for getting back to us, we will include this fix in next release version as well.

Hey there,

May i know how the user replicate this 404 error on your site? Is it after user click on publish post button from the composer, then it redirect to 404 page?

Is it can update your FTP access at your first post so we can better have a check what this securitycheck extension added those rules in .htaccess file?

Hi Arlex,

I updated FTP.

The different errors show up when

1. User tries to save as draft or
2. User tries to publish post or even
3. User clicks on the back button in the editor.

It happens only in backend as far as I know.

Regards,
Sebastian

## Begin Securitycheck Pro Hide Backend Url

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !domain.com/administrator/

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !xxxxx

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !com_securitycheckprocontrolcenter [NC]

RewriteRule ^.*administrator/? /404 [R,L]

## End Securitycheck Pro Hide Backend Url


It seems like this securitycheck extension will added these rules into .htaccess file which caused this.

I've applied some temporary fix into this file JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/post/post.php , can you monitor and see whether it work fine?

Hi Arlex,

I tested it and it seems to work well. Will let my customer know to test extensively and then revert back in a few days.

Regards (and thanks a lot)!

Hi Arlex,

It really works good it seems. I tested it - so far no complains. Will you include that fix in a new release? I cant imagine I'm the only one who has experienced this problem...

Regards,
Sebastian
