Allow Usergroups to Post HTML · **Released**: 09-25-2005

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.

Worked like a charm in 3.6.8 - thanks for your help!

Anyone (besides Titania) else install this on a 3.7 installation? How about a link showing an example (for a v3.7 installation).

That's from a rss-feed generated forum running GARS, which was the original reason I wrote this, but it would work the same in a 'normal' forum.

when i copy and paste html into a page i get the error message about "message too short"

what i have is a html table which gets sent to me every week for the latest games charts
it comes as a html file

i thought with this i could just paste in the code ... any ideas?

I realise that the author of this mod has said that tables aren't supported, but I've run into a curious problem and was wondering if anyone else had experienced (and hopefully solved!) it.

I'm trying to post a large table into a post, with lots of sub-tables, images etc. This worked fine for me up to recently (I am using 3.6.0), and sometimes still does!

Here is an example:

http://www.punters-paradise.com/foru...54&postcount=2

The problems began when I moved hosting company. Now some of the tables don't work. When I cut and paste the html (which works fine as I've checked it) the post appears blank. I narrowed down the problem to one section of the table - a particular cell which only contains plain text. If I remove that plain text and leave the cell blank, the table (minus that text obviously) appears perfectly. This problem doesn't occur all the time either, which is very puzzling.

An example of a table which won't work is here:
http://www.punters-paradise.com/foru...9&postcount=32
and the 'offending text' (which should appear in the 'Preview' section) is in the next post:
http://www.punters-paradise.com/foru...0&postcount=33

Any help or advice mucho appreciated!

Works on 3.7.1 successfully. Thank you for the mod.

Hi,

I'm quite new to installing things, but hope someone can help.

Install says:

Quote:

To install: Upload the includes folder within the upload folder to your /forums/ directory.

Surely if I upload the includes folder in this mod, it will overwrite the existing includes folder?

Does it mean upload the contents of the folder?

Can anyone help on this?
