Thread: [Phpwebsite-developers] pagemaster stripping out html

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

I notice that, among others, pagemaster for 0.9.x removes <th>,<tt>, and 
<blockquote> tags.

I looked around but I can't find any place to tell it waht to allow or 
deny.

Have I goofed?

Don.

Also, my internal pages show up as blank pages, when I get to them from 
the menus.

Also the main page is blank when I told it to use an internal page for the 
main page.  The original pagemaster demo did show up fine.

When I say "blank", I just mean the part where my page content would be.  
All other phpws headers, footers, and menus are there.

One thing I noticed is that the pagemaster page that I set as my main page 
has a "Hide" button, but the rest have "Show" buttons, which would mean 
they were hidden.  Of course the main page doesn't show up either.  But I 
click on the show buttons a lot of times and they never change.

/me shrugs.

This appears to be fixed now in the latest CVS.

Thanks,
Don.

Don,
You may be able to work around a couple of these with css.

<blockqote>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0.5cm 0cm 0.5cm"></div>

<tt>
<span style="font-family: courier"></span>

I don't have a solution for <th>. Sorry.

Mike,

Have you noticed any strangness with margins or padding CSS elements in IE?

I wanted to use padding for some boxstyles but the padding-right element
cuts the graphic off. It looks fine in NS.

Matt,
No, but that doesn't mean there aren't any. I don't have a machine with
IE on it, so it's impossible for me to test.

All of the margin and padding css is from version 1, and is supposed to
be supported in versions of IE greater than 4.x

What measurement are you using to specify the padding? Have you run the
css through the W3C validator?

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

Some browser compatibility notes on padding from w3schools:

Matt,
After further review, it looks like a table+padding issue with IE.

You may want to consider moving phpWS from a table display model to a
visual display model based on css2. Of course this will cause
incompatibilities with older non css compliant browsers. Kind of a
catch-22.

I don't think that would be a problem.  I just checked the stats on one of
our sites (vibride.com), and the oldest technology it's been hit with for
the last 6 months was IE 5.0.

This site is most frequented by non-techies -- people who are using systems
at work or whatever they have at home.  It's a fairly new site so it's not
heavy-use yet (avg. 3k hits/day in season), but I thought it'd give a good
"real-people" snapshot.

BTW, we haven't seen a Netscape user since June.  Couple 'a Mozilla variants
& recent Operas, though.

Eh th I could just bold and align the text.

Thanks for the tips.

Don.

Don,
Anytime. :-)

I have some revisions below that you may prefer to my original
suggestions.

<div style="margin: 0% 5% 0% 5%"></div>

Percentages are usually preferred over fixed dimensions.

<span style="font-family: courier, monospace"></span>

This will fall back to monospace if courier isn't present on the client.

The default allowed tags are pretty basic. Pagemaster just needs to add on
to them. I will take a look.

Could there be a form so the site admin would determine what tags to allow 
or not allow?

I think that would make the most sense.  Default to whatever basic tags 
you please, but let the site admin customize if he/she wishes.

Add the tags you dont want stripped to your $allowed_html variable in your
textSettings.php file in the conf directory.

I don't have an allowed_html var in that file, so I'll have to start it 
out.  Is $allowed_html just a string or is it an array?

Thanks this will work for now.  I still think a web interface to pick and 
choose tags would be a little slicker.

Thanks again,
Don.

Ok here is a challenge to the theme folk.

If you look at the comments in IE6, they go off the end of the right side
of the table.

I used to know what caused this but not anymore.

Anybody know how to fix it?

I have tried various things to the templates and the comment code, without
any luck.

Something about ul tags and tables doesn't work well in IE.

Thanks,
Matt

I just say we not allow IE.  Seriously.

Or if we detect an IE browser just echo "YOU SHOULD GET MOZILLA" in 
rainbow colors at 72pt font and use the <blink> tag.  Does anyone use the 
blink tag anymore?

Don.

Matt,
Is the errant display behavior evident in comments that were edited? If
not, maybe the blank <td> is causing the problem. Just a WAG.
