Is it possible to use EzPortal on a host that uses the mod_security directive?

My host won't turn this off, so EzPortal is unusable for me

It should be possible if you find something that does not work in the portal with mod_security let us know and we will fix it.

I've setup a test forum to play around with EzPortal while I get used to it. Because this is a test setup, SMF doesn't have any mods installed, just an absolutely bare system. At first EzPortal wouldn't work at all and just gave errors all the time, such as:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /smftest/index.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

So I edited Subs-EzPortalMain.php by doing the following:

Find
;id=

Replace with
&id=

That got most of it to work, with two exceptions.....

#1. I cannot change anything in the "Settings" page - As soon as I click on "Save Settings" I get the same error as above, and none of the changes are saved.

#2. It generates errors in my SMF logs everytime I make a change in the "EzBlock Manager" or the "Page Manager"

1. Will make some changes for next update so it works correctly with mod_security enabled.

2. Missing some text strings in Ezportal.english-utf8.php
Forgot to add
$txt['ezp_txt_icon'] = 'Icon';
$txt['ezp_txt_noicon'] = 'None';
Which will be fixed for next update

I use some javascript to display a random image on my homepage - The images are all stored in a directory and the script simply selects one to display, but I cannot get it to work with EzPortal....

The code is added as an EzBlock to display on the Centre homepage...

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
