Enable HTML in posts

[hopeowl]

I found this code here that is supposedly able to enable HTML in posts for membergroups. Sadly it is outdated but jrryan suggested that it might be possible to update it so it works for v5.
If that's not possible, it would be nice if someone could try to create a code that lets members post HTML. I know one plugin that does the same but it's only available to admins and you need to post [html] in each thread for it to work.

Thanks in advance if anybody is able to help me out (And I'm sure it would help others too!)

<script type="text/javascript">

var allowedGroups = /(1|2)$/;



var disabledBoards = '(board ID|board ID|board ID)';



if(!location.href.match(new RegExp('board='+disabledBoards))) {

var td = document.getElementsByTagName('td');

for(i=0; i<td.length; i++) {

if(td[i].colSpan == '3' && td[i].innerHTML.match(/google_ad/i)

&& td[i].parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('a')[1].className.match(allowedGroups) && td[i].innerHTML.match(/([html](.+?)[\/html])/i)) {

var code = RegExp.$2.replace(new RegExp('&l'+'t;','g'),'<').replace(new RegExp('&g'+'t;','g'),'>').replace(/<(img src|(a|embed) href).+?<a.+?>(.+?)("|'|")?<\/a>(.+?>)/gi, '<$1=$3$5');

td[i].innerHTML = td[i].innerHTML.replace(/([html](.+?)[\/html])/i, code);

i--;

}

}

}

EDIT: Chris I was told that you might know how to help^^

As I wrote the admin only 'HTML in posts' plugin you refer to, I thought I'd ask what html you would want your members to be able to post?
The reason the plugin I wrote is admin only is that some incorrect html entered by a member could be malicious or break the forum display completely.

The majority of things that people want to post can be done via uBBC code.

I've never had problems with members posting HTML on other boards since they know what they're doing. And even if the code has errors, you can delete it, no problem.
Members (and guests too) mostly need to post ads for their own boards which have elements in it that can't be done with BBcode. (Hovers and so on)

Anyway, do you think it would be possible to modify the code above or the plugin so that every membergroup (and guest) can post HTML codes?

[Pebble]

The code can definitely be written, it'll just be finding someone to do it. I personally wouldn't want to visit a site where members can add their own HTML as there may be malicious scripts being added.

I just thought I'd ask in case there was another solution to what you wanted to do.

[hopeowl]

Since almost all of the members will be close friends of mine, I do trust them with it.
Anyway, hopefully someone can help me out with the code. ^^

Pebble, I have just tried your code copy/pasting it in my Global Header but it doesn't work

When I add [html] in my post (I am the Admin), nothing works.

I have a recent Proboards forum (4 month old).

Is there anything that I have to change in your code to make it works ?
