Bennett 🚀 - I'm not sure if your still doing work on this but is there any chance that this could be altered to at least strip out the style tag items for custom pages?

Plugins cannot be run on custom pages, so that's unfortunately out of my control.

Hey Bennett, sorry if this has been asked before! I'm having some trouble with :before and :after pseudo-elements. Are these supported or nah?

Unfortunately, those selectors are not allowed. Way back when it was a contingency that needed to be addressed in order for the plug-in to be allowed in the plug-in database because of potential security issues.

I'm not sure if it's a plugin issue, or something in my css, but for some reason this post is not taking the attribute, break or no spaces tags. The same happens for this template in any part of the site...

The reason I'm not sure if it's the plugin is that it seems to work on the application template I have on the site.

Maybe someone's seeing something I'm not?

Definitely a CSS issue. I'll fish around to see what it could be. Sorry for the trouble! I love this plugin. Thaks so much for sharing it!

Edit again: so after reverting to an old css I had stored, and testing on another forum, it all works on the other forum, but not this one. Now I'm thinking it could be some other plugin affecting this one? I'm not sure now...
I'll keep fishing around to see what I can find.

My only suggestion would be to put Style Tags as high up in your plugin list as possible and try turning one plugin on/off at a time while keeping Style tags on and see if there is something interfering.

Bennett 🚀 Seems like the issue stems from the VDice Replacer plugin.

Could it be because of the type of tags it uses? This has me scratching my head. Should I contact that plugin's author to see how we could find what's causing the issue?

[Bennett 🚀]

As long as the style tags are before that plug-in it shouldn't be a problem. The only other thing I would say to make sure you're doing is not using the visual editor when posting, but rather use the text editor solely.

Yeah, moving the style tags plugin to the top was the first thing I did when I noticed the issue.


Luckily I never use the visual editor and have the settings to always work on the text editor.
I've worked with all the other plugins, turning each on and off and that Dice one seems to be the culprit. If nothing can be done I suppose you can add it to the list of plugins that it's not compatible with...

Presuming I found a bug in Style Tags, how would I go about reporting it? It's not a minor annoyance, and there's a possibility it is an exploit vector, though I'm uncertain of that part, hence my unwillingness to just put it in this post.

(Yes pure CSS can be exploited).

You can send me a PM if you so desire. There are a lot of ways CSS can be exploited for malicious purposes that cannot be filtered out by simple means that Javascript provides, but I would be curious as to what you consider an "exploit vector".

I just installed this plugin. Is there a way to update it so the styles appear on the mobile version instead of the tags?

Proboards  Plugins DO NOT WORK ON MOBILE just yet (this will change when V6 is released), right now your other option is an experimental feature to disable mobile view if you value what the plugin brings to the table over the convenience of mobile browsing (they can still browse but only in big screen crazy scrolling mode)

Plugins Request Board Rules

The Plugins Request Board is governed by the rules of this forum AND by the board specific rules listed below:

Purpose:

Plugins Request is a board for requesting a plugin to be developed by a volunteer member. Since the coders are volunteers, remain patient for your request to be addressed.

Bumping:

You may bump your thread once every 24 hours, however if you have additional information to add, you should modify your last post.

Board Specific Rules:

• Prior to making a request, check the plugin database and the currently open request threads first.
• Make only one plugin request per thread.
• No more than 3 open requests at a time.
• Plugin requests should be for a desired task and not a laundry list of functions you would like to see as a plugin.
• If you no longer need the plugin, make a post in your thread stating you no longer need assistance.

Submitting a Request:

Include all relevant information:

1. Use a descriptive thread title (generally the purpose of the plugin)
2. A forum URL
3. Clear description of what the plugin is supposed to do and/or what is achieved by using the plugin.
4. Include any pictures or links that help describe the function of the plugin’s purpose.

Things to Consider Prior to Making Your Request:

Is the plugin you're requesting useful for every forum on ProBoards or just your own?

Even if you have a super cool plugin idea, plugins can take a long time to create depending on the complexity of the request. Whether or not the plugin will be widely used may be a factor in whether or not your request is accepted.

Plugins do not securely hide content that exists on the page beforehand.

If you're looking for a plugin to restrict an existing forum feature or hide something that exists on the forum by default you'll want to take this into consideration. Plugins run after the page content loads and cannot modify the output of the page before it's received from the server. A plugin can hide an element on the page but that's not going to make the element inaccessible as the element still exists on the page so it's very much possible to circumvent the restriction put in place by the plugin. This isn't meant to outright discourage you from requesting this type of plugin, but rather to let you know beforehand that they don't actually hide your content in case you wonder one day why your users are suddenly able to bypass your plugin's restrictions.

Plugins can only access data that is on the page you're currently viewing.

This means that a plugin cannot reach into the forum's database to display data that doesn't already exist on the page. If data exists in the source of the page you're viewing the plugin can find it, but if something only exists on one page and you want it to instead show on every page you're unfortunately out of luck.

Plugins do not load on the mobile version of the forum.

This is so that plugins containing much more bandwidth-intensive material do not consume as much of the data available on users' mobile plans. If your forum is going to run in a way that is dependent on a plugin's functionality working during every post you may want to consider this before requesting that plugin's creation.

Bennett 🚀,

I haven't used the style tags for long. There's always one thing that frustrates me to no end. In many of my test templates, I try to set up a hover. Recently, I'm trying to set up a plotter that would enable a hover effect.

Yet when I hover over the box, nothing appears or it shows up below. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

[div align="center"][div style="'width:325px; height:400px; padding:5px; background-color:#343841;"]
[attr="class","friends"][div style="background-image:url(http://www.placehold.it/300X125" height:125px; overflow:none;"]Friends[/div]
[attr="class","friendshover"][div]Test[/div]
[/div][/div]

[Bennett 🚀]

Looks like you've got another thread going, I'll let them help you out.

I have a problem with the style plugin refusing to work with the highlighted code plugin. I don't know what going on it but here is the problem I have been having (when I take the code off, the highlighted code works). I am stuck on what else to try. HERE
