Just to let you know the new PN sercurity fix disables your module from being viewed by unregisted users. IT still works fine for regisitered users. I have backups of both and when I use the non-patch version I do not get the error. However when I do use the patch it does indeed happen. Here is a discpription of the patch.

The pnDev-Team released a security fix package (changed files only) for .723. For best possible security please apply the package ASAP to your .723 installation (previous installations must be updated to .723 at first).

Download: Security Fixpackage 0.723
MD5 Checksum: 8a780f71705596d32d98e5f12e0bdb4f

[see extended text for further information]

FIXES
/modules/Modules/pnadminapi.php (fixed regeneration bug, thx to cmgrote, jojodee, jnapp)
/includes/security.php (updated permission check)
/includes/pnAPI.php (updated pnanticracker)
/includes/pnSession.php (fixed globals)
/modules/Credits/pnuser.php (fixed path disclosure, thx to Alexander GQ Gerasiov)
/includes/blocks/topic.php (fixed permission check, thx to ddrury)
/includes/blocks/weblinks.php (fixed permission check, thx to cs)
/includes/blocks/stories.php (fixed permission check)

Here is a link to the patch.

Any of the extras* are using PostWrap

Thanks for any help!

Correction, only my administrators can view the pages.

I have found it work with group permissions. And those who have admin rights. Nothing else, I tried all up to delete.

Yes, I'm experiencing the exact same problem on my website after applying the "security fix."

Admin is able to view PostWrap pages okay. Visitors and Registered Users see blank pages.

I will need to apply the "fix" to a dev site and test it.

Got it to work by disabling the URL Security - "NO" to "Compare URL against URL Security in DataBase"

What security risks are there by not setting up the "URL Security?"

Hi
Open index.php

arond line #71 look for
if (!pnSecAuthAction(0, '::', '::', ACCESS_READ))
then change it to
if (!pnSecAuthAction(0, 'PostWrap::', '::', ACCESS_READ))

This should work.

My mistake :-(
