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.

Use Hellcat's /me hack and you won't have those problems.

I just installed it on 3.6 and it seems to be working. It's not on a live board yet so no idea if everything is as should be. Seems to be fine though.

Thanks Kal < waddles off to find the install button >

there is some posts , I want to turn off HTML, what should i do ??

[creativepart]

I'm trying to get HTML to work for a few users. So this looked good.

I installed it, and turned on the parse html feature for that user group and did a test of a simple <li> next to a sentance.

Now Admins can see the bullet placed by the <li> but no one else can see it -- not even in the special usergroup with html parse set to yes.

Am I missing something? And why does the plugin manager show two installs of this plugin with one struck thru?
