Solved the problem I mentioned above. Nothing to do with this mod :)

You should really let everyone know what the problem was and how you fixed it, for the benefit of future searchers.

Anyway, I've just installed it in 4.1.7 and I too can't get the preview to work. Can anyone? Is there a trick to it? If not, the line in the first post about preview working should be edited.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but does the code in a post all have to be on the same line? If so, that should be mentioned in the first post.

Brilliant idea - just what I'm looking for, alas, I doesn't work with 4.1.7 :o

- is it my mistake?
- will it be updated?

Thanks!

Good point, edited.

As for 'does it all have to be on one line'? No. No it does not.

Now I hear, it is supposed to work with 4.1.7 - which I cannot confirm. On my site it doesn't do anything. I can edit html when it is turned on on a forum base which enables all users to use it. If it (html) is turned off, the addon doesn't allow the use for selected usergroups.

What am I missing?

Hard to say. It sounds like you've turned on html for everyone, in which case you don't need this mod.

But understand this is generally considered a Really Bad Idea, because if everyone can post html then anyone can totally screw your forum easily, if only by accident e.g. forgetting a closing tag.

Well, that is presently my workaround - as I need to use html so here's what I do:

- I create a subforum with html ON
- I resrict write rights to myself
- reading rights for the rest

When I turn html off, the plugin doesn't do a thing - even though I have turned on html for the usergroup admin - it doesn't work. I'm quite aware of the risks of allowing html to everybody.

So where do I look for the mistake? I've installed it properly - checked twice - help much appreciated :D

Thanks :up:

You may be having the same problems I did when I was testing this last month. First it took me some time to figure out the preview wasn't working, so I actually had to post my test messages. Then there seemed to be some kind of problem with large blocks of code - specifically the product codes I was getting from Amazon. As I recall a simple one line html test worked fine. But as you can see above the author answered me and says a large code block should work, but I never got it to and haven't gotten back to it yet.

Yes, sir :)

You're right - the preview isn't working! Just tested it: the preview gives me the "literal" text, whereas after publishing the post/thread html is parsed.

BUT: now vB inserts an extra crlf and doubles the empty lines - something I can turn off when html is allowed for the forum.

So - how do I turn that off using this addon?

This is really necessary if you want to insert a properly styled page using html and css which is what I'm looking for.

Anyone - including the developer - having a brilliant idea?

Thank you very much :D

This script works great, even in 4.1.9, but I need something way more complex. Let's say I want permission only for certain HTML markup, would that be possible? I'm running a video script that automatically embeds HTML markup into new threads when someone uploads a video.

I only want to give permission to parse certain code, I doubt that's possible.

Or better yet, don't allow HTML code to be parsed that accesses an outside domain? If anyone can do it, I'll pay.
