Allow Usergroups to Post HTML

Just like the name says, this ultra-simple little Product will allow you to specify Usergroups that may post in HTML and have that HTML be parsed...SOME PEOPLE ARE HAVING TABLE PROBLEMS - THIS IS UNSUPPORTED USEAGE OF THE MODIFICATION AND I AM UNABLE TO ASSIST!

***BE AWARE THAT INDISCRIMINATE USE OF THIS HACK IS RISKY - RESTRICT IT TO ONLY THOSE USERGROUPS YOU TRUST ABSOLUTELY***

The scary message above is to make sure you are aware that enabling HTML for any group opens you up to security issues. This is why it is not a feature of Stock vB, probably.

I decided I needed to have the ability to post in HTML because I just installed ZT's RSS Feeds hack, and the ones I got from Google looked all horrible.

Now updated to be controlled by a Setting in Usergroup Manager, it's phrased and even works in editpost.php (preview) in WYSIWYG and normal modes, AND the Forum Rules shows HTML is ON.

This will not work retroactively. That is, if a User posted something in HTML before they were given the ability, that post has to be edited by that member (or someone else with HTML ability) in order to be parsed. I am assuming this is due to post caching.

Many thanks to Kirby for prodding me to figure it out by myself and not just telling me what to do.

A "demo" is here..html is OFF in that Forum, but the post is made by an Admin, so the HTML is parsed.

I am going to leave my above post because it is still valid by many aspects, however I just went into the plugin manager on blind luck and imported the extraneous xml file in cluded in the root unzip directory for this hack and *poof* the option show up. Awesome.

Installed fast and easy. works great ...... 3.5.0 gold

*feature request*

would it be possible to add an option/check box on the post so that a user which has html posts enabled can choose to parse the code or not?

[himerus]

So Far, I'm having a couple of problems... I'm ONLY using this mod for my own purposes as board admin... the option is NOT available to ANY other usergroups, and will never be for security purposes....

It will allow me to post with freedom, and not having to convert some items to bbcode...

I so far have been able to only post simple HTML tags....

what about <script></script> tags???? they just seem to be ignored completely...

This is a GREAT hack. I was looking through vb.org for something that might make the rss bots work a little nicer and came across this. Well done.

I haven't read through all the pages but, I did come across a pretty big problem so far.

I am the only one with permission to post html and I can post it and see it no problem but, other users cannot see the HTML. It just shows as text.

Others users could not even see HTML in Announcements and a closed forum that I use to post HTML in anymore either. I could see it but, the just saw text.

I deactivated the hack and all is fine again.

If you get a fix for that, it would be perfect.

Thanks,
Miguel

Seems to be working fine on my board. Cheers.

Btw Kall, I used to live in Auckland (North Shore). NZ is God's Country without a doubt.

I have a problem (I guess a bug).

I disabled HTML in signatures. And I have the administrator and supermoderator usergroup permission to post HTML.
So far no problems. At the forums (threads) and in the signatures HTML is parsed. But; when somebody receives a PB from a admin/smod the HTML in the signature isn't parsed and you can see the raw HTML code.

Can you fix this?
