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.

I cannot got this to work. It just displays as text even though it says at bottom of the page that HTLM is on.

Can anyone help ?

I just tried installing this, and now it's messed up my admin options.

When installing the plugin I got 'Invalid File Type', now when I go to usergroups I get;

Fatal error: Could not open /home/winawin/public_html/forum/includes/xml/bitfield_vbulletin.xml in /includes/class_bitfield_builder.php on line 125

Help!!

Nice plugin but unfortunately I installed but was unable to get it working correctly so I decided to uninstall for now. Will keep watching this thread and will try to install again if further updates are made.

It's showing as installed on the Plug-in Manager but there is no option in Usergroup Manager to allow HTML.

Is this file [ product-nzbgroupallowhtm3.5.1.xml ] that was unzipped have to be uploaded too? It was not unzipped to the xml folder but rather unzipped to the root folder where the uploads folder is.

Works brilliantly!

Installed.

There should be... my brain's a bit scrambled at the moment, tough day at work but..

PHP Code:

// Was this post made by an allowed Usergroup member?
if ($perms['allowhtmlpermissions'] & $this->registry->bf_ugp_allowhtmlpermissions['canposthtml']) 


Somewhere in there... a "or $bbuserinfo[userid] == 'x'" style thing.. Did you mean 'override those who can't, so they can... or override those who can, so they can't?

I am hoping someone with a working brain will be able to sort it out.
