Geeklog Forums

Someone submitted a comment in html format but did not choose HTML format. Instead he left it as "Plain Old Text". My question is this. As administrator, how do I go and edit the comment to make it display as HTML instead of Text. My 2 options for comments are reply and delete. Where can I go to mod the flag? Thanks

i think i had the same prob... open you config.php and change the postmode line to read the following: $_CONF[\'postmode\'] = \'html\'; // can be \'plaintext\' or \'html\' its ~ line # 293-294... that may fix it...

I'm afraid there's no easy solution to this. If you post pieces of HTML code in plain text mode, the HTML tags are translated such that they are displayed verbatim rather than being interpreted. So if you have a look at your database, you'll find that the original HTML code isn't there any more. Instead, you will see things likeetc. It would require a lot of effort to translate that back and you can't do it in Geeklog. Which only stresses my point (Tony, do you read this?) that future versions of Geeklog (read: GL 2) should store all user input exactly like the user entered it. All necessary conversions should happen during the output. But don't expect this bevhaviour for the 1.3 code base ... bye, Dirk
