But it is known to cause html security vulnerability to penetrate??

What is the solution

[thincom2000]

In truth, the danger is always there, but with this mod you can allow HTML to your trusted Usergroups only.

I am using vBadvanced CMPS.

Gee....I should have read this after busting my brains out trying to find out what was happening to my forum.

In my case, everything was running fine but when I upgraded from 3.6.8 to 3.7.2 and upgraded vBadvanced from 3.0.0 to 3.0.1 all BB Codes and Smilies was showing un-parsed on the News Module.
Even checking the original thread this News Module are linked to, BB Codes and Smilies were un-parsed to visitors. Even if I disable CES Parser Permissions I could see BB Codes parsed correctly, I had to edit and save (withou changing anything) for BB Codes to be parsed correctly.

I'm still trying to figure out a way to fix this because this hack is great and my site can't live without it.

In all honesty, the permissions used should be the poster's permissions and not the current user's permissions. These can be easily confused, but it's an important point to remember.

I have to confess this is confusing for me. I got your idea but still a little confused. Do you mind in streching this thing up a little more just to make everything clear ?

Tks

Hello,

I have created an RSS feed from my blog to be posted in a forum and the HTML (such as hyperlinks) are not being parsed when the thread is being created. However, when I go in and edit the post and simply resave it, it parses. I disabled the mod and it is working fine that is, the

More... in the rss manager is parsing with the mod turned off, but not when turned on. Looks like a bug.


Thanks,

Marcos

I cannot reproduce this behavior on my forum, seems to work fine. What are the mod's permissions for the user you selected to post the RSS feed to the forum?

[marcossalazar]

Yes on all CES Profile / Social Message Permissions except Allow HTML in Profile Fields and No on all project tool permissions.
