Post HTML usergroup permission - US$100 Donation

[NolF]

Add-on completed by Darkinmortal here, thank you very much


Hi

I'm looking for a add-on, that will allow selected usergroups use HTML in posts. You may use a BBcode (preferable), but a simple permission would also work. I would prefer if the add-on contained no file modifications, but simple modifications would also be acceptable.

I will donate US$100 for whoever makes this happen. I would prefer it if this would be made within the next few days if possible. I may remove the donation offer if there are no takers by the 24th of November.

Thanks

What HTML tags would you want them to have access too?

 

[NolF]

I don't really need any sanitation, anything within the html bbcode would get parsed as html should make the add-on easier to code I hope

It can also be used in combination with bbcode manager add-on if it makes things easier to manage/code

 

[Kaiser]

Wow, sounds to good to be true. $100 for that?

 

[NolF]

Yes I'm kinda in a rush, because I was forced to change to xenforo much sooner than I wanted to, and now I got thousands of posts without HTML looking terrible

 

[Kaiser]

Oh I see what you are saying... yea thats is.

Ugh hadent thought of that, something i will need to look into going forward to..... ~~where did i put that list?~~

 

[Jeremy]

Wait, you want everything within [html] tags to be parased AS html?

 

[Jeremy]

If so, that's really really really easy to do (without checking permissions somehow...)

Um, no, he wants to be able to use HTML in posts. [html] is for formatting HTML for display on a forum where you share HTML codes.

Usergroups being able to post HTML is something we always had to rely on plugins for in vB. I hope it is included in XenForo. It is simply not possible to provide enough bbCodes to completely replace HTML.

I was going off of the basis that he said "within the html bbcode." Its still extremely easy to do and I already have it working. Except checking user group permissions. I'm not entirely sure that the poster ID is exposed to check permissions...

 

[feldon30]

Not sure why he mentioned bbcode. It's a straightforward request (if not the implementation) except for that.

 

[Jeremy]

I'm pretty sure he wanted something like [parseHTML]<div style="float:right"></div>[/parseHTML] and have it go. That I have done. Its getting the poster ID / stuff for permissions.

Using a BB Code would however make it possible to post HTML and BB Code in the same post so it's a useful approach to take.

Using the vB3 HTML by Usergroup plugin, I can interchange HTML and bbCode in the same post without needing to identify or flag areas of HTML.

I guess it is a peculiarity of XenForo's parser that HTML must be walled off inside its own 'render me!' bbCode.

I've experienced some significant issues with vbulletin's approach when posting long posts (100k-1m characters) combining html and bbcode which would often result in timing out the server request time or something like that. It's also probably a bad habit mixing bbcode with HTML, so I actually prefer a bbcode which exclusively parses HTML (where you don't have to worry about new lines ^p), but I can live with either approach happily.
