Hey all,
so far I've have snitz running with about 10 mods but I really want to be able to change the allow html bit so that either only the admin(and moderators perhaps) can enter html in the message posts, or just as useful would be the chance to have the html code/forum code settings for each forum and not the whole board.
I have seached for help but the only post I found regarding this mainly discussed how it hasn't been done or even really requested.
If someone could help point me to the right spot in the code I can try and edit the code myself, but I am hoping to be able to do it neatly and perhaps release it as a mod.
I use snitz as just forums on one site but I use it as the entire base for another site, with a hidden forum called Interface Pages where I create the posts that I use as pages. It is this foum that I would like to be able to use HTML in.
Thanks in advance
Brendan
PS. thanks to all the mod makers for the extras, great job people :)

A bit of a kludge, but should work.
Look for this line in inc_top.asp
mLev = cint(chkUser(strDBNTUserName, Request.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User")("Pword")))
Immediately after that line, add the following
if (mLev = 3 or mLev = 4) then
strAllowHTML = 1
end if
This would give moderators and Admins HTML On in posts. To restrict to Admins only just remove the mLev = 3 part.
BTW What user level is mLev = 2 ??

i think i remember reading that mLev=2 is for like the authors of posts and stuff, but searching the files of the forum, it is never used by itself, it always used when checking to see if they are a member and it calls out every mlev

This works really well! Thanks.

This is great - a parenthetical question for syntax students - so for Admins only it would be
if mLev = 4 then strAllowHTML = 1
end if
or
if (mLev = 4) then strAllowHTML = 1
end if
Thanks

To Parenthesise or not to Parenthesise that is the question 
I have a bad tendancy to use parenthesises even when not strictly required, i find it helpfull to be in the habit of using them particularly when you get into longer more complex conditional clasues using many compares along with OR 's and AND's etc

I've posted this before a long time ago and just as a side note, HTML and Forum Code do not mix well, especially with images... inc_functions gets confused on which way you want to post at times, especially if you are EDITING a post with images, etc... just an FYI...

This works when Admin posts a message, it will show in HTML, but it will not show the pop_preview in HTML, how can you do it so when you click on Preview, the preview will show This is blue text and not<font color=blue>This is blue text</font>

I figured it out, I just added <%
mLev = cint(chkUser(strDBNTUserName, Request.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User")("Pword")))
if (mLev = 3 or mLev = 4) then
strAllowHTML = 1
end if
%> below <!--#INCLUDE FILE="inc_top_short.asp"--> in my pop_preview_html.asp file

- redbrad0
mlev = 1 = Author
mLev = 2 = Normal Member
mlev = 3 = Moderator
mLev = 4 = Admin
These values are returned when function
ChkUser (returns values 2,3 and 4
(returns values 0,2,3,4)
0 = Not Member or Not Logged in)
2 = Normal Member---- When M_LEVEL = 1
3 = Moderator ---- When M_LEVEL = 2
4 = Adminstrator ---- When M_LEVEL = 3
ChkUser2
(returns values 0,1,2,3,4)
0 = Not Member or Not Logged in)
1 = Author ---- When M_LEVEL <> 3 and Member is Author
2 = Normal Member---- When M_LEVEL = 1
3 = Moderator ---- When M_LEVEL = 2
4 = Adminstrator ---- When M_LEVEL = 3

I'm posting here because I feel this question is along the same lines.
I have images turned off on my forums, as I do not want someone to sign up and then spam the forums with something nasty.
However, I would like my moderators and myself to be able to post images. What would be the line for that?
Thanx

Actually, referencing Gremlin's first post above, I just have to change "strAllowHTML" to "strIMGInPosts". I did it and it works. If anyone can tell me why not to do this (why it's not good for the code), please do. Thanx, and for anyone else, enjoy.

Theres only one real downfall doing it the way I've shown above that I can find.
The problem happens when you go into your admin settings to change any other features,you'll not be able to turn Images or HTML off again :(.
what I did was remove the check in the relevant admin page also so that the radio button wasn't pre selected based on the current strAllowHTML setting. More of a kludge really but it works fine for me.

Good to know, I might not have noticed. I doubt I'll change anything, but I'll change a couple of things around so I don't activate something by accident. Thanx.

If you need to make this a permanent addition to your site, I would suggest the following:
Add a new variable to the CONFIG_NEW table (and load it into config.asp) called:
strAdminAllowHTML (or whatever)
Then you could add it to the Admin page. This would allow you to toggle the option on/off.
Wherever you added the mlev check, change strAllowHTML to the new string name (in this case strAdminAllowHTML).
