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.

In plug-in manager the feature is shown as in the preview. Is this correct.

Can anyone help wuold be much appreciated..

I have exactly the same problem.

Still can't get this to work. It doesn't cause me any errors, but seems to be just a dormant addition to my board.

Doesn't matter what I type, come sup as text, and so I have to manually enable HTML, add my post, then disbale it (for security reasons obvioulsy), which defeats the purpose of the mod doesn't it.

I can tell from everyone else's post that this mod works, so know it must be something on my board, would appreciate any help, anyone can offer...

I think something has changed since 3.5.0. My install, like those above, doesn't allow the HTML. It also doesn't list that user as being allowed to post HTML.

[EasyTarget]

its worked for me on every version, including 3.5.4 currently.

It doesn`t work on my board too. I doesn`t see the setting in the usergruops manager. Why not? Thanks for your help.

I just installed this on 3.5.4 and it works fine for regular HTML.
Unfortunately it does not work with jscript though.
