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've unistalled this. Being unable to edit HTML is a hassle. Instead, I made a custom BB Code which had all the HTML I needed, and I just pass in the variables I need which is far easier.

Very useful plugin! Thanks for this.

Using with 3.4.7 -- no problems seen so far other than as previously noted.

Sometimes these vB folks are just plain slow on the uptake. This has been a needed feature since before the advent of "web 2.0". Now it is urgently overdue.

In plain English, for today's modern web, it is important that forum managers have the ability to post HTML "rich" content, ad lib.

For this feature, vB should not make itself the HTML police. The forum manager/owner/administrator has to be able to post active content on their boards.

Anyone used this on 3.7.5 yet?

[Turbe]

Well, installed on 3.7.5 (never installed it before). I assumed I would be able to use the exact same HTML that we use in Notices and Announcements (HTML enabled) in the Posts, but this doesn't appear to be the case.

I uninstalled it... I noticed the only file uploaded to the forum for this Mod is bitfield_allowhtml.xml (in /includes/xml).


Question: I assume it's ok for me to simply delete this file after uninstall, is that correct?

tks for this, but it seems to be displaying my tables funnily. There is a HUGE gap before the table actually starts. I checked the code and there is nothing that dictated this gap. Any help wld be greatly appreciated!
