[2.x] HTML publishing

My b2evolution Version: 2.x

I have looked in the forum and in the help section, but I was not able to find any topics related to this issue. Sorry if it has been answered before, but I am in need to find out the following

I want HTML code in my posts and I prefer to make this HTML in an editor like SeaMonkey.

However, when I copy the HTML into the posting, I always ednd up getting errors.

Is there a way to just simple copy HTML into posts?

Thanks for the help

my best regards

Ralph

I'm not sure if this is what you want, but it "displays code in a post"

Thanks for replying John

Sorry, I might have been a little unclear about what I want.

I want to post HTML formats into a post. So, I want to make the format in an HMTL editor (with tables, images, etc) and just copy and paste the HTML code it into the posting.

So, the whole markup/format that I created in Seamonkey is visible in my blog posting

I can see on many spots that people are talking about the fat the B2Evolution can read HTML, but I do not seem to succeed in it

best, Ralph

Yes, I thought that might be it...
My solution to that is to load a HTML page into your post using the object tag.
EG: http://wow-factor.com/index.php/flash_photo_browser_test

There are some related links in that post...

Hi John

thanks, I will give that a shot. Looks like this is going to work...I hope :-)

Noop, not working

Illegal object markup found: </object

Just as an example:

I use the FREE HTML widget that can be installed in the sidebar. Works fantastic. I can copy all HTML made in Seamonkey into this.

But, for blog posts it is not working

If you are using the latest release of B2, the object tag and embed has been included.

Yell if you want a copy. It won't give you the errror.

I am running 2.4.2 and there it is not working

2.4.6 will do the trick you think?

best, Ralph

10 john Jan 15, 2009 12:50

Well, always upgrade :)
Yes the new version will do the trick.
Grab the 2.4.2 to 2.4.6 upgrade files here....
http://b2evolution.net/downloads/index.html#quick_upgrade_patches

If you just want a short cut for now......
The critical file is _xhtml_dtd.inc.php
in the folder ->inc ->xhtml_validator ->_xhtml_dtd.inc.php

Overwrite the old xhtml_dtd.inc.php with the new one.

11 ralph Jan 15, 2009 15:38

So, I did...

Illegal object markup found: </object

not working either :-/

Does anybody know why the FREE HTML widget accepts HTML, and the posting area not?

What html are you trying to post in the write area ?

13 john Jan 15, 2009 16:57

What are your settings under Users -> Administrators and Security Filters?
I have "Prevent CSS Tweaks" and "Prevent Objects" unticked.

Something very simple like this

<html>
<head>
<meta content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<table border="1">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align: top;">My test sentence<br>
</td>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><br>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align: top;">another test sentence<br>
</td>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><img
style="width: 421px; height: 220px;" alt=""
src="http://www.delicasa.com/Newsletter/images/Vinosia.jpg"><br>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br>
<br>
</body>
</html>

"Prevent Objects" was not unticked

Now it works in a certain way, but this is not what I want.

The html file is now put into a small rectangular box with vertical and horizontal scrolbars. This rectangular box is inside the post.

Try with only the HTML inside the <body> ... </body> tag.

<table border="1">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align: top;">My test sentence<br>
</td>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><br>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align: top;">another test sentence<br>
</td>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><img
style="width: 421px; height: 220px;" alt=""
src="http://www.delicasa.com/Newsletter/images/Vinosia.jpg"><br>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br>
<br>

Good luck

Note : you will also need to allow css tweaks in your group settings .. there'll be a handy link in the error message when it first barfs ;)

Ohhh, and it'll probably barf about unclosed <br> tags, you need to change all them to <br /> ;)
