Installed whiteboard on d6 commons. in the permissions page the authenticated users have read and write permission, but when saving a whiteboard I get this error:
"Saving to DB Failed. Check permissions and filters (See README.txt)"
Strange, no error report logged, what can be wrong?

jmaguniaThat may be because the filter 'full_html' is not enabled.

jandekezel commentedHi pmagonia, I tested again on a node with the full-html filter enabled, but got the same error.
Comment #4
jmaguniajandekezel, did you set the maximum number of characters in an upload ? I think the default is 0.
Update: you must also grant create whiteboard permission to anyone who who wishes to save marks to the board. The permission name is misleading so I will work to imrpove it.
Comment #5
jandekezel commentedHi Parag,
The number of characters was at 500000
As for permissions, all authenticated users have permission to create and view a whiteboard. Those are the only whiteboard related permissions I can find. Are there others I may have missed?
The above settings were in place and the error message on saving persists

jmaguniaJan,
Another thing I thought of is: did you enable full_html for the type of user who will be using the whiteboard ? I think in your case it is authenticated users. ( admin/settings/filters ) By default authenticated users do no have access to full_html. That is different from choosing full_html for the node filter type.
It is good to remember, full_html is alright for testing, but you may want to get an additional filter module if users other than yourself will be using the module.

jandekezel commentedUnfortunately this didn't help either. I was trying to test it with my admin account so didn't anticipate changes; but still tsted it. Still getting the erros msg

jmaguniaI can not duplicate the error so I am marking this as closed.
Comment #10
jmaguniaI was able to reproduce this error, and I do regret the time it has taken to address this issue.
A fix is available in the 7.x branch but 6.x is no longer supported.
