HTML Purifier Phorum Mod: enable WYSIWYG

HTML Purifier Phorum Module

Filter Your HTML the Standards-Compliant Way!

This is my first attempt at a Phorum module, but I have made every effort to make sure that it is as bug free as possible.

The HTML Purifier Phorum Module is a module that enables raw HTML input into the forums. "Now wait!" you may be thinking, "Doesn't that pose a security risk?" Normally, yes, it would, but we are using a spiffy library (written by me) called HTML Purifier that has bullet-proof XSS protection due to its whitelist implementation. With HTML Purifier protecting your user-data, you are sure to be safe.

For plain-textarea users, we offer auto-paragraphing and linkification, so editing raw HTML is much more pleasant than normal. However, the real important thing is that HTML Purifier will enable you to embed a WYSIWYG editor with impunity! This functionality doesn't come preloaded, since I don't know what WYSIWYG editor you want to use, but that's where this library really shines. Users will be able to post lists and tables with HTML Purifier enabled!

Be sure to follow the instructions in htmlpurifier/migrate.bbcode.php to migrate your Phorum database to HTML.

Download:
- HTML Purifier Phorum Mode 2.0.1.1 (ZIP)
- HTML Purifier Phorum Mode 2.0.1.1 (TAR.GZ)

Demo: This mod is enabled on HTML Purifier's forums, you can test it out anonymously in the special Test forum

Changelog:
- 2.0.1.1: Hammered out a few more quirks regarding signatures and edit messages. You can now migrate your users signatures to HTML with one click on the Settings page, please do so if you disabled BBCode.

Updated to 2.0.1.1. The new version is a lot better in terms of stability, so please upgrade to it.

Hmm, tried this on dev.phorum.org and got:

Mmm... why is ctype support disabled?

To get rid of the E_STRICT warnings, replace the packaged HTML Purifier with the -strict version that you can download from the website.

Gentoo does not compile with ctype by default. That I could deal with. I was more worried about the strict errors. Is there a reason you have a strict and a non-strict version?

To maintain PHP4 compatibility (static keywords are not recognized by PHP4). Our deprecation cycle is synchronized with PHP's, so support will be dropped this December.

Hi Ambush Commander.

I've been using your HTML Purifier for a while now (thanks for the amazing work!) and am now adding Phorum 5.2 to my site and was wondering whether you had updated your HTML Purifier Phorum Mod to work with this latest 5.2 version?

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, I have not yet, because until recently, the 5.2 series was beta. Now that it is stable, I will look into compatibility. Thank you for the heads up. If you attempt to use the mod on 5.2, please share your experiences. Thanks!

Hi, I upgraded my forum to 5.2.6 and noticed some problems with the module (mainly with the migration code--regular usage doesn't seem to be affected). I'll be re-releasing the update module soon. Thanks!
