Re: Help needed on re-coding a mod

A really useful tip. A new knowledge for me today.



Just a little add up that I learn from other mods, BurkeKnight, you can also give description to your mod using the following code:

So now, this mod should be 100% approval ready.



Thank you my friend...

Sorry if did not understand you, but this is all new parts for me to coding.

Maybe, it'll help me make some more mods, too.



Re: Help needed on re-coding a mod

Re: Help needed on re-coding a mod

Yup, to run the stripping of non-valid tags before it gets saved to the database.



Re: Help needed on re-coding a mod

Re: Help needed on re-coding a mod

No, that's not what I said at all. Nor is it a trick question.



You have the normal $config_vars definitions, which you had just fine.



Now, what I was telling you to do was put in $_POST['gkstyle_start'] = strip_tags($_POST['gkstyle_start'], '<span><str...

ManageSettings.php



Wait, this is a bit of a trick question issue, isn't it?

I'd place it with the code I already have, since that is right above a save call anyway, right?



So would be:



[code] $_POST['gkstyle_start'] = array('text', 'gkstyle_start', '30...



Re: Help needed on re-coding a mod

Re: Help needed on re-coding a mod

And I thought I'd told you already



The problem is, if I tell you how to do all of it, it's not really a learning experience for you, is it?

If you're using the strip-tags code, that's all they're able to use anyway



Re: Help needed on re-coding a mod

Re: Help needed on re-coding a mod

Okay, mod updated on mod site.

Like stated in PM to Cust team, if people use tags that are not listed, then, basically, that is on them, as I have it clearly stated on mod settings page which tags can be used.



Allowed HTML Tags: <strong></strong> <em><...

Re: Help needed on re-coding a mod

What you're describing is not option 2, though it would work just fine if you replace the relevant < and > with &lt; and &gt;



By putting that as the main text item attached to the relevant option it should just work even if it will be ugly as sin in th...



Re: Help needed on re-coding a mod

Re: Help needed on re-coding a mod

check the example i gave, it has the tags in it using html entities



Re: Help needed on re-coding a mod

Re: Help needed on re-coding a mod

#2 should do it.



Line would be:

Code: [Select]

$txt['gkstyle_start'] = 'Opening HTML code to be used before group name:<br />Allowed HTML Tags: <strong><em><span>';

I think those would be the only tags really needed for this, as can't use <u></u> as it u...

Re: Help needed on re-coding a mod

Re: Help needed on re-coding a mod

Okay, where exactly would I place this?



strip_tags($string, '<style><span><strong><em>');



<div> tags make unexpected extra line break after, so that would be one I'd want not to be allowed, but style, span, strong, and em should all be okay.



EDIT:



Also...



Re: Help needed on re-coding a mod

Re: Help needed on re-coding a mod

OK, so ultimately this is about ensuring what tags are used by the people who use that, and ensuring what tags they are allowed to use. Using </html> or similar in those boxes would be bad.



The only problem with that is that it's an extremely difficult...
