story editor and allowable html tags

Hope someone can help.

I've operated a geeklog site on my own server for a couple of years with little hassle and much satisfaction.

However, I've had to move to off-campus hosting, and I'm having some trouble with a new installation.

Whenever I go to the contribute/story editor page, the allowable html tags do not display, only the commas between them. I checked the source, and the tags aren't being prepared for display, they're just in there as actual tags.

You can see what I mean here. Just click contribute and check it out.

Thanks for any and all suggestions!

In config.php, only list the names of the tags - without the pointy brackets. I.e.
Text Formatted Code
$_CONF['user_html'] = array (                                                  
    'p'    => array(),
    'b'    => array(),
    'i'    => array(),
    'a'    => array('href' => 1, 'title' => 1),
(etc.)
 

bye, Dirk

Thanks for the suggestion, but that's not it. (Crossed my mind as well.)

This is right out of the box. I haven't touched the allowed tags portion of config.php, and I double-checked to make sure they didn't come that way.

In lib-common.php, function COM_allowedHTML, does it say
Text Formatted Code
    foreach( $html as $tag => $attr )
    {
        $retval .= '<' . $tag . '>, ';
    }
 

i.e. adding the entities for the opening and closing brackets or does it add them directly?

Maybe your editor tried to be extra clever when you edited lib-common.php?

bye, Dirk

Guess it has something to do with the characterset which is configured in config.php. I saw at netcraft.com that you use a Free BSD server, where you could expect some small troubles. Here's a copy of my locale settings (for the Netherlands, watch it!), I'm running FreeBSD as well:
Text Formatted Code

$_CONF['language']  = 'dutch';
$_CONF['locale']    = 'nl_NL.ISO8859-1';
$_CONF['date'] = '%A %d %B %Y @ %H:%M %Z';
$_CONF['daytime'] = '%d/%m %H:%M';
$_CONF['timeonly'] = '%H : %M : %S';
$_CONF['shortdate'] = '%x';
$_CONF['dateonly']  = '%d-%b';
$_CONF['default_charset'] = 'nl_NL.ISO8859-1';
$_CONF['timezone']  = 'Europe/Amsterdam';

That was it, Dirk. Brilliant!

Curse this no-shell-access hosting and their filthy text editing script!

Have a great day, fellas! Mine will sure be a lot better now.
