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.

Nevermind. It's working after I installed it again. v:nervous:v

Is there any fix around to fix parsing html in signatures in private messages? I've re-installed the whole thingie but it seems that it doesn't parse html in signatures of PNs, regardless of the usergroup's setting...

Maybe I have to refresh some cached thingies or so? who can help me out?

Possibly add something to a hook in private.php?

I am at work at the moment, and have no real time to check it out this week..I will try, but if anyone else wants to do it, feel free.

I tried to install this but got the inactive entry in the plugin manager that was posted earlier in this thread. It says HTML is on but nothing is parsed. Same thing after uninstalling and reinstalling. VB 3.5.4 with .php5 (edited the xml)

I enabled the inactive plugin and it works...thanks. Sorry - first plugin.

Hi

for some reason when I post divs

such as

<div id="needThisDiv">Content</div>

... the div tags are removed by vB...

I am doing some cool JAvascript-based workaround to play videos / flash movies which use a div tag and it is not working because of this..

any workaround to keep all my HTML intact?

Thanks!

this may have been mentioned before but at 3am in the morning i can't be bothered to cruel through 15 pages worth of stuff.

The html for admin is enabled but it doesn't work when i try and post it. View this post for an example:

If <a href="http://live.xbox.com/member/Bullet Stream">Bullet Stream</a> was a true gamer, he would have played yesterday, but he decided to do something else instead. He better not have another console...

Either it's just me or that link doesn't work... the link goes to:

http://live.xbox.com<b>* Nicks Xbox 360mber/Bullet Stream

and it's supposed to go to

http://live.xbox.com/member/Bullet Stream

so somethings being messed up along the way.....

You are kidding right?

[kall]

Either he is kidding, or for some reason he thinks that URLs can have spaces in them...

OR! He has a /me hack installed!!

Nick, look how the link has /me in it (/member). the /me hack is interfering.
