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.

Oh my God, Kall... I'm going to come to your house and kiss you... *ahem* Err... thanks. This'll be great for my RSS Feeds hack!

A Kirk kissing an Ace. Now why doesn't that sound right to me? :surprised:

hehe

[Kirk Y]

Ha ha Boof!

What do I need to change so I can input a single Username in addition to a single Usergroup?

Edit:

PHP Code:

if (in_array($post['usergroupid'], array(6))) OR if (in_array($post['username'], array(vBlogger)))
                { 


That close?

Sorry we won't do that, we respect animal rights.

I assume that it doesn't work if a non-html group member quoted the HTML code? ... and it shouldn't anyway...

[dastar]

I've been waiting for this mod for so long......... *tear*

If you were a girl and didn't live in another country, i'd kiss you.

Awesome plugin!

Aaaaargh! Why isn't this working??

PHP Code:

if ($permissions['allowhtmlpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp['allowhtmlpermissions']['canposthtml']) 


And the bitfield xml is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<bitfields product="nzbgroupallowhtml">
	<bitfielddefs>
		<group name="ugp">
			<group name="allowhtmlpermissions">
				<bitfield name="canposthtml" group="allowhtmlpermissions"  phrase="can_post_html" install="5,6,7">1</bitfield>
			</group>
		</group>
	</bitfielddefs>
</bitfields>

A little help here please.

Did you rebuild the bitfields?
