HTML allowed for certain groups

[w596]

Would like to see a hack to allow only admins (by group or user ID) to post HTML in threads with VB3.

I'd also like something like this, but I need to be able to just let one user do it who is not an admin or moderator. At the mo I keep having to enable/disable html in the forum for when he posts his league tables from excel!! :-)

This may work, tested it and it worked, but I'd test it first to be sure. :)

Open /includes/functions_showthread.php

Find


else
{
$parsed_postcache['skip'] = false;
$post['message'] = parse_bbcode($post['pagetext'], $forum['forumid'], $post['allowsmilie']);
}


Replace with:


else
{
$parsed_postcache['skip'] = false;
if ($post['usergroupid'] == 6) {
$post['message'] = parse_bbcode2($post['pagetext'], 1, 1, $forum['forumid'], $post['allowsmilie']);
} else {
$post['message'] = parse_bbcode($post['pagetext'], $forum['forumid'], $post['allowsmilie']);
}
}



To make it for just one person, all I'd think you have to do is change:

$post['usergroupid'] == 6

to

$post['userid'] == X


Change X to the user's ID you're wanting.


This was not my work, as I used two other hacks from vB2 to figure this out. Entourage (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=43207&highlight=html) and Palmer ofShinra (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=32015&highlight=html) are the original creators of this hack.

Thanks Scrub, I'll give this a try. ;)

[Rapy Zeon]

what changes would be nessary for multiple groups and or individuals?

eg 2 groups + 2 individuals

Worked for me. Maybe you should release this as a mini mod. ;)

[Scrub]

Change


if ($post['usergroupid'] == 6) {


To


if (in_array($post['usergroupid'], array(X,X))) {


Change X to your usergroupids you'd like to be able post HTML

If you'd like it for just cerrtain users.

Change:

if ($post['usergroupid'] == 6) {


To


if (in_array($post['userid'], array(X,X))) {


Change the X's to the userid.

I've tested it and it works, but I suggest you test it first before actually making it live. :). I am unsure how to make it so you can have both a usergroup and a certain member to be able to use it. But I will play around with it some more later on today and see what I can come up with.

And BarHopper, this is not my creation to release. :)


Before someone says why not use is_member_of, I tried it and couldn't figure it out. :p

[w596]

Thanks Scrub, it worked.

[MediaHound]

Hey thanks a lot!

Worked for me, exactly what I needed.

I used the array so that in the future, I can add more people as I decide who can post html.

This is a no-brainer modification!

[3DChipset]

Damn! This works like a charm on 3.0.3...

It says though, "HTML Code is OFF" though under my tag. Still allows me to post in HTML which is cool!!!!!!!

[h75]

Awesome :beard: :lick: <installed>

[TCB]

But what happens when somebody (that isn't allowed to use html) quotes a post of an admin?

[vBFreak]

Yes, works fine. Can someone tell me what I have to change if I want the same thing for user signatures? So that only one usergroup (admins for example) can use HTML, but users not

[bendigo-tech]

I found a problem with this...

All the HTML is displayed properly in the actual thread itself however, when I user (administrator or not) goes to reply, all the HTML code is shown in the 'Topic Review' area.

Is there anyway to fix this???

[vBFreak]

Yes, that's right... I got the same thing if I try that...

the HTML-code isn't parsed in the thread review...

I think you have to change on both things for the review and for the signatures a place in the code that is similiar to this example... But where?

[bendigo-tech]

But what happens when somebody (that isn't allowed to use html) quotes a post of an admin?
They see the HTML code and if they were to post the message, the HTML wouldn't be parsed which in turn makes for a pretty ugly post/quote.

Please... does anyone have a fix for this???

Thanks :)

[akoj]

Thanks. Installed on my forum. The one thing that I noticed was that it posted the html wonderfully on my forum but when the post fed into my portal (vbadvanced) the html would not post correctly. For now, I just redirected the post to a forum that doesn't feed into the portal. Otherwise, all works great! Thanks for the help. I will check back for any updates.

[Link14716]

Here's my version. It should work everywhere BBCode is parsed and the post array is $post (which should be everywhere you actually post).

In includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php, find this:
function parse_bbcode2($bbcode, $dohtml, $dobbimagecode, $dosmilies, $dobbcode, $iswysiwyg = 0, $donl2br = 1)
{
// parses text for vB code, smilies and censoring

global $DB_site, $vboptions, $bbuserinfo, $templatecache, $smiliecache;
global $html_allowed;
Add under that:

global $post;
if ($post['usergroupid'] == 6) {
$dohtml = 1;
$dobbimagecode = 1;
$dosmilies = 1;
$dobbcode = 1;
}
Replacing $post['usergroupid'] == 6 (which means any administrator) with whatever you want (such as the in_array($post['userid'], array(X,Y) example.)

[akoj]

Link,
I tried using your code above but it isn't working on my forums. I took out the code I had originally placed from the original posts. Does that need to be in place as well?

[Link14716]

No.

Either way, it works for me. HTML is off in the forum and is still parsing on my dev board.

[bendigo-tech]

No.

Either way, it works for me. HTML is off in the forum and is still parsing on my dev board.
So if an Admin posts HTML and then a member quotes it, will it be parsed or will the member see the HTML??

[vBFreak]

At my board the version of Link14716 is working and better... HTML in signatures is now also only allowed for admins, yet that what I wanted first, thanks Link:)

But html code in quotes of normal users, in the signature editor preview (low priority, because only admins can't see their html-code in the preview, for users it's correcly not parsed as it should be if html is disabled and ok so) and in the Topic Review area isn't still parsed...

[gurgi]

For some reason Link's solution doesn't work unless I use if ($post['usergroupid'] == 0), but I am definately an admin.. no other value works.

[charlesk]

Link, thanks very much for that simple solution.

Question for anyone: is there any easy way to modify that code so it works using say, the number of posts the user has? I'm still kind of new to this. :) Thanks.

Charles

[charlesk]

Perhaps a simpler question.. is there a way to have this work based on a secondary usergroup rather than the primary?

Thanks...

Charles

Here's my version. It should work everywhere BBCode is parsed and the post array is $post (which should be everywhere you actually post).

In includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php, find this:
function parse_bbcode2($bbcode, $dohtml, $dobbimagecode, $dosmilies, $dobbcode, $iswysiwyg = 0, $donl2br = 1)
{
// parses text for vB code, smilies and censoring

global $DB_site, $vboptions, $bbuserinfo, $templatecache, $smiliecache;
global $html_allowed;
Add under that:

global $post;
if ($post['usergroupid'] == 6) {
$dohtml = 1;
$dobbimagecode = 1;
$dosmilies = 1;
$dobbcode = 1;
}
Replacing $post['usergroupid'] == 6 (which means any administrator) with whatever you want (such as the in_array($post['userid'], array(X,Y) example.)

THANK YOU!!!

Foolish me was looking at doing this in a different way before I found this thread... This is an AWSOME hack and it is working great for me on two of my vBulletin installs!

[paul41598]

how come this affects other BB code tags? I have a [showtogroups] tag that now isnt displayed because of this

[vBFreak]

Anyone who modded this for vB 3.5.0?
