how to parse raw html in post

timned88 · December 28, 2009, 09:15:23 AM

is there a way to have smf 2.0 rc1.2 (havent upgraded to rc2 yet) parse raw html in a post, via a bbc tag or mod?

specifically, i want to post the following code:

Code Select

<!-- QOOF WIDGET BEGIN Generated: Mon Dec 28 2009 09:06:25 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time)-->
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://flash.qoof.com/widget.js.aspx?v=3.0.1.10'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
  var Qoof_AC = '1824';
  var Qoof_AID = '2466';
  var Qoof_WidgetId = 'e129a4cf-9a50-4d64-ae8d-f760ab7683ee';
  var Qoof_widgetWidth = '300';
  var Qoof_widgetHeight = '250';
  QoofWriteWidget();</script>

which will embed a video product review along with an inbound link to the site selling the item. the person viewing would see a video box, similar to that of the youtube embed mod, which is clickable. thanks for your help.

use the html tags

timned88 · December 28, 2009, 09:23:45 AM

what html tags? regular arrow brackets or bbc brackets?
do i just wrap the code that i supplied with html and /html? could you be a bit more specific? thanks!

i tried this 2 different ways...
way #1 (arrow brackets) rendered nothing.

Code Select


<html>
<!-- QOOF WIDGET BEGIN Generated: Mon Dec 28 2009 09:06:25 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time)-->
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://flash.qoof.com/widget.js.aspx?v=3.0.1.10'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
  var Qoof_AC = '1824';
  var Qoof_AID = '2466';
  var Qoof_WidgetId = 'e129a4cf-9a50-4d64-ae8d-f760ab7683ee';
  var Qoof_widgetWidth = '300';
  var Qoof_widgetHeight = '250';
  QoofWriteWidget();</script>
</html>

way #2 (square brackets) echoed the code back onto the screen

Code Select

  var Qoof_widgetHeight = '250';
  QoofWriteWidget();</script>

Use the square brackets.

In the admin CP > Posts and Topics > Bulletin Board Code > Enable basic HTML in posts

Is this checked?

timned88 · December 28, 2009, 09:40:54 AM

yes, it was already checked. if you note my post above, wrapping my html code inside of square html and /html only rendered a blank post. thanks for the help but it didn't seem to help.

timned88 · December 28, 2009, 09:42:22 AM

do i need to add

Code Select

<script> to the list of allowed tags? how would i do that?

Kays · December 28, 2009, 09:51:30 AM

Hmm, I've never used it before but just noticed that won't allow Javascript.

This will allow the posting of some basic HTML tags:
<b>, <u>, <i>, <s>, <em>, <ins>, <del>
<a href="">
<img src="" alt="" />
<br />, <hr />
<pre>, <blockquote>

What is it that you are trying to do/add?

timned88 · December 28, 2009, 09:54:41 AM

it will embed a video product review box (300x200) along with an inbound link to the site selling the item. the person viewing would see a video box, similar to that of the youtube embed mod, which is clickable. its for affiliate clickthru's....

i am trying to see how to add the script tag to the allowed list. anyone?

Have you looked at the AEVA mod? Apparently you can add sites to it.

timned88 · December 28, 2009, 10:28:11 AM

aeva didn't work either.

In looking at it further, I can get it to work if there's no spaces at the begining of each line.

me too! that was easy!

THANKS

That is strange since I thought that <script> wasn't allowed.

I realized that I had not checked the HTML box in my admin area. What about embedding a link to the video? Or embed an image to the video. That might work too.
