I'm having a problem with posting news with links..

I'm been having this problem for a little while. When I add add new news to the website it's stripping out the links for urls within the news story. It leaving all the links if its inside of an image tag. Is there some other code that I need to add to config.php for the allowed html?

Example
Before:

Code:

<img src="http://www.gowgaming.com/ss/av.gif" width="600" height="300" >

Click <a href="http://www.gowgaming.com/ss/av.gif">here</a> for
larger view

After:

Code:

<img src="http://www.gowgaming.com/ss/av.gif" width="600" height="300">

Click <a href="">here</a> for
larger view

Also if I try to edit, I can't click on the save button when this happens.

I think this may be down to the use of the paragraph 'P' tag.
Check the allowed html array in config.php to see if it is there.

Yes there is a "p"=>2

I won't install any version of nuke above 7.6 due to the security problems they have so this is going to be hard to fix for me.
I do find it strange that the image url seems fine but the a href tag causes an problem.
It might be a tiny_mce editor problem but I have to admit I do not recall anyone else having this specific issue.

Does it help if you close those two 'center' tags you have open?

They are closed, perhaps adding the href in the allowable_html would help.

This one I cannot test either or should say I'm not quite getting the same result on my home server.

I've added href to the tags allowed and now it doesn't strip that part but it still strips the url Sad

Code:

<img src="http://www.gowgaming.com/ss/av.gif" width="600" height="300">

I also have the wysiwyg editor turned off. If someone has a really good walkthrough to downgrade to 7.6 i'm all ears. If I were to downgrade can I go right to raven or should I use the unomodified 7.6..

Try not using the quotes at all, this was a way to get around it for some users hopefully itll fix your problem to.

Well I bit the bullet and went to RN7.6. It appears as tho everthing is working. *shrug*

Bit the bullet?

What were you running before?

Guardian2003 · Site Admin Joined: Aug 28, 2003 Posts: 4868

I would guess something above 7.6

7.8 patched

I thought I put that in the first post Rolling Eyes

Then by all means, Bite that bullet.

Although if you were trying to stay with 7.8, I have this to say: you like living dangerously ehh?

Trust me, You made a very inteligent decision with going with ravennuke.

I hope so

I'm pretty sure I got everything downgraded correctly. I only had one error with the downgrade for the modules table. Other than that after fixing some language files it seems OK so far.
