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.

The .zip has been updated with a comple folder structure and step-by-step instructions.

(Forgive me for asking, but should someone who can't figure out what to do with a bitfield xml and a product xml REALLY be allowing people to post HTML?)

LMFAO you call those instructions, your a moron, it does not tell you how to get your hack to work, good try with the communcating, but what do you expact from a guy with no social skills

The instructions in the install file tell you exactly what to do.

What is so hard to follow about the following?

Upload the includes folder within the upload folder to your /forums/ directory. Using the Product Manager in your AdminCP, import the product. To turn on HTML Parseing for a Usergroup, go to Usergroup Manager and Edit the Usergroup's settings. Look for 'Should this usergroups HTML posts be parsed?' and set it to YES.

I am terribly sorry that you fail to understand the basic concepts of the vBulletin Product system.

It is not my place to train you in this regard. Its also not my place to provide support to someone rude enough to ask for it without clicking install.

its not showing the html as banner adds like it is meant to be

[kall]

Given that the code that you posted above doesn't have any opening html tags (like <a> or <img>), no.. my hack doesn't magically fix incorrectly entered HTML.

So you got no idea why my tables are a mile down the page with the code I pasted in the above post?
