Embedding Special Tags in Content, Joomla1.5.8
Last Updated on Wednesday, 28 January 2009 22:27 Written by Georg Wednesday, 07 January 2009 01:33
When having to insert special [custom] tags in articles code, Joomla 1.5.8 will invariably filter them out. And that's bad, at first glance: think you're having to embed some flashy ajax objects or some Youtube vids for that matter, or even the nice invisible ones sitting on top of news articles destined to show up in RokNewsRotator.
The cause: starting with J1.5.8, the default Article Filter setting is set on 'black list' for every user level. This means no more playing around with fire - read XSS [cross site scripting] attacks.Solution: change the default settings so that no filtering happens for members of the Super Administrator group:
Navigate to Content → Article Manager.
Press the Parameters icon in the toolbar to show the Articles - Global Configuration screen.
Scroll down to Filtering Options, highlight all Filter groups except Super Administrator, and select Filter type of Blacklist (Default), as shown in the screenshot below.
