HTML in the profile description

Hello all,

In editing the description field in a profile, I am using the pop-up editor to add HTML.  However, when I save it and review the profile, all I see displayed is the actual HTML coding.  Is there a trick to make it parse the HTML in the profile description?  I have my setting for "Enable profile customization" checked but is there something I am missing?  Thanks!

Anthony

If you are writng html in the regular tinymce editor you have to click the html button beside the question mark and put your code there. THen you will see it properly

Are you using IE to save the html code...
Better use firefox to save html content.

No, just adding the code right in the "Description" tex-area field.  The tinymce editor doesn't come up in this case.

I'm using Firefox...never IE.

Oh, and the popup editor I thought was part of Dolphin is actually a Firefox Addon BBComposer, which is still correctly writing HTML code so the displaying of the code still persists.  :/

Anthony - you can't - not without doing a mod anyway.  The "DescriptionMe" field is for text.  I agree - if any field should be HTML in Dolphin it is that one, but that is not the way it works.  There are some mods here (okweb did one) that will allow you to do this, however they raise some security issues, so I haven't done it yet.

I agree as I just finished tracing it out and modding it.  It's in "inc/util.inc.php" line 188, for anyone curious.  I deleted the individual replacement variables and the HTML works great in the profile description now.  However, as you stated, it does hold a security risk.  I may mod it to search for only certain HTML tags like EMBED, TD and such to replace them with astericks or something.

Thanks!

Can ypu provide details on hopw you implemented the HTML function in the profile editor?
