HTML in Posts

[Ross]

Before I post the code, I must warn you that allowing HTML is posts can be very dangerous. There are some malicious people out there who would use it to do harm. For that reason I have done this so only member groups which you specify may use HTML in their posts.
So some of you may be wondering what the point of this code is? Well it lets users use features that you can't usually do in UBBC code. For example, you could link to iFrames or use advanced tables.

Global or Board Footer:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
/* Allow HTML in Staff Posts
WARNING: Use with great caution!
The code creator will NOT be held responsible for any damage done by this code*/

var allowedGroups = /(1|2)$/;

var disabledBoards = '(board ID|board ID|board ID)';

if(!location.href.match(new RegExp('board='+disabledBoards))) {
var td = document.getElementsByTagName('td');
for(i=0; i<td.length; i++) {
if(td.colSpan == '3' && td.innerHTML.match(/google_ad/i)
&& td.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('a')[1].className.match(allowedGroups) && td.innerHTML.match(/(\[html\](.+?)\[\/html\])/i)) {
var code = RegExp.$2.replace(new RegExp('&l'+'t;','g'),'<').replace(new RegExp('&g'+'t;','g'),'>').replace(/<(img src|(a|embed) href).+?<a.+?>(.+?)("|'|")?<\/a>(.+?>)/gi, '<$1=$3$5');
td.innerHTML = td.innerHTML.replace(/(\[html\](.+?)\[\/html\])/i, code);
i--;
}
}
}
//-->
</script>


Red: Here you should edit the group IDs of who can use HTML in their posts. By default, Admins are group 1, G-Mods are group 2, Mods group 3 etc. Seperate each group ID with a divider line | (Shift + \)

Blue: This is an optional feature to disable HTML in certain boards. For example, if you have a code database and don't want any codes there being called. List the Board IDs, each seperated by a divider | symbol.

To use the HTML, put [html]Code to be executed[/html] in your post

So you mean, if I add "<script>
<!--
/*Blah*/
//-->
</script>" in a post, it will do it? Or do you have to do this:
[HTML]<b>kk</b>[/HTML] for ut to work?

[deadlyassassin]

It will not allow scripts.

Do enable HTML, put [html]CONTENT IN HTML FORM[/html] and it will convert the html coding in the actual post.

Question, because I'm not quite sure how this would work. ^^; So regular mods would be group 3? What if I create another staff group - would it then be group 4, or would it not work for them?

[Cr0w]

yes, you're next group would be group 4.

I'm trying to get this code to work, but I just can't seem to be able to. Can someone give me a hand? Here is a link to my forum:

charmeddestinys.proboards51.com

I put the code in my Global Footer, and tried to post a thread using HTML (I used the HTML tags as you said). But it didn't work.

All help is appreciated!

I want some help too, please. I'm not sure if what I want it's the same, but I'd like to enable those embeded videos from, utube,tvguide just for the staff.

Can you guys give direct links to threads where you have tried to do these things?
