Enabling HTML can only be done (be default) on a per-forum basis so it is extremely dangerous to enable HTML is any forum untrusted users can post in. If you do enable HTML in a forum then please make sure only you or very trusted Admins have permission to post in said forums.

If we could have list on first post (that's why I'm looking for good mod to do that), or even better, have widget to the right (or left), like sidebar in vB4 (but we can't actually use sidebar, as each thread should be connected to different Ranker.com's list), it would be great.

Anyway, my first option is to use mod that enables first post visible on every page. Even better, if we could have sidebar version.

Mod should connect widget code with each thread ID, show widget right (or left) of thread content and thus enable users to vote in a widget and to write in a thread.

This is how I envision it:

We could enable this mod only in certain forums. Only certain usergroups would be able to enter widget code, as it is HTML (preferably that we could use HTML 5 code in that), for security reasons.

After that, mod would show "normal" thread, with widget to the side, users would vote in a widget, write in a thread and we all be happy to the rest of our lives. :D

I hope you would make it into mod, I think this has great potentials.

They are very vertical oriented, as you can see.

Imagine that thread is linked with certain list (term used on Ranker.com), i.e. we can see that Ranker.com widget of this certain list only when viewing this thread.

This widget is placed like sidebar in vB4, but only in threads, independently from sidebars. To link list (widget) and thread, we put widget code in form and it than changes postbit in such way that thread is narrowed making place for widget. Thread otherwise acts like normal thread, but displays widget left or right from thread.

And we can choose in which forums and which usergroups can enter widget code.

More or less, that's it in a nutshell.

When parsing the post for bbcode, if the user has image posting permissions it will generate this code

I can also see they are preventing xss injection in the href attribute by validating that the url conforms to this regex:

It would be great if you could make something like this (c&p from my request here: http://ozzmodz.com/showthread.php/53...m-with-threads)



My further explanation in different thread:



It would make great integration and lists would be easily seen on every page of the thread all the time.

Hi. I went ahead and installed this on my board. My members love it. Do you know if we can add our own ads to these polls? That would be an interesting concept.
