jfmateos | Subject: How to enable HTML in forums |  |
| I am very new to aTutor and although I have revised all administration options, I cannot find the place to activate HTML in forum posts. Is it possible to enable a wysiwyg editor for forum posts? Thanks Operating system ATutor is installed on - Linux ATutor version - 1.6.1 Patch #s applied - None Posted: 2008-09-14 16:59:09 | ||

| There's no option to enable HTML in forum posts because that would give rise to cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting . Forums only support some most commonly used formatting (font weight, colors, smileys etc.). I'd suggest you to have a look at the EWiki module for ATutor at www.atutor.ca/atutor/modules/index.php . I believe it supports much more formatting options, and, depending on the intended use, may suit your needs. Posted: 2008-09-15 02:52:33 | ||

| How can I post links in the forum, and have them open in another window, instead of opening on the same page? Is this a more secure way? I purchased the WIki module. So if I post html on the Wikis, is that a more secure way than posting links in the forum? Thanks. Posted: 2008-09-20 18:39:35 | ||

| Type a URL into the forums. It will get turned into a link. You can not post html to the forums for security reasons. You can not open a link in a new window from the forums without html. Wiki's use wiki language rather than html. See the documentation with the wiki for details about wiki language. Posted: 2008-09-20 20:01:40 | ||
