HTML In Block Titles.

Worker Joined: Jun 07, 2006 Posts: 114

hey everyone...i am using the new RavenNuke76 v2.02.02 Distro for my new website.

i have a current site running nuke 7.6 with patch 3.0 and another running 7.6 with patch 3.1

with both my current websites i am able to use the <i> and </i> html tags in block titles, in order to make some words italic.

i am not able to do this with the new RavenNuke76 v2.02.02 Distro .

when i do try this with the RavenNuke76 v2.02.02 Distro, the only thing the tags do is to display the block title in italics in the blocks admin menu.

any ideas ?

hey darklord...Hmmmm.....i assume j/k is shorthand for joke?...if not, just so you know, my name is actually illy and I am a gal...which is y i called some guy a honey the other day on here...but i dont think he realised this.

i have not made any changes to my .config files yet as i am not sure exactly where to insert a comand to alow this <i> html tag.

the end of my .config file currently looks like as follows...

$reasons = array("As Is","Offtopic","Flamebait","Troll","Redundant","Insighful","Interesting","Informative","Funny","Overrated","Underrated");
$badreasons = 4;
$AllowableHTML = array("b"=>1,"i"=>1,"u"=>1,"div"=>2,"a"=>2,"em"=>1,"br"=>1,"strong"=>1,"blockquote"=>1,"tt"=>1,"li"=>1,"ol"=>1,"ul"=>1);
$CensorList = array("f***","cunt","f***er","f***ing","pussy","cock","c0ck","cum","twat","clit","bitch","fuk","fuking","motherfucker");
// Nuke Patched 3.1
// Further enhanced by Raven at http://www.ravenphpscripts.com

can u help with some guidance please?

Placing html in the block titles won't work in the current release and I think there's probably good reason for it to stay that way.

Mainfile PHP does the following when reading in a block title from the database:

Code:

   $title = stripslashes(check_html($row['title'], 'nohtml'));

Thus, even if a title is stored with say italics around it, it won't display that way. I guess you could "hack" mainfile to omit the call to the check_html function but I wouldn't recommend it. As we used to say back in the IBM mainframe days, results could be unpredictable.

hi fkelly......thank yo for assisting. it isnt that important for the html to work, but it is simply frustrating when you have done something in an earlier website you have created which used a different version of php-nuke.

i would rather not have the function of html in a title, than comprimise my sites operation, moreoever security.

thanks.

There is a lot going on with Ravennuke and the inclusion of the wysiwyg editor as a "default" and some of it affects the check_html function I believe. I just am not an expert on the details of it and whether selected html could eventually be permitted, safely, within titles. I don't see any technical reason why not.

This is something you might want to revisit when Ravennuke 2.10 is released ... it's nearing the quality assurance stage now internally. Kguske is really the expert on this and if he pays this post a visit he might be able to shed more light on the issue.

Related to this question, the editor isn't really the important thing, but the change in how HTML tags are validated (which is a good thing). However, as long as that "nohtml" qualifier is in that check_html function call, there will be no change in this behaviour.
