Been meaning to do this for awhile, didn’t realise how easy it was. This makes bbPress behave more like WordPress in that admin (keymasters/administrators) can post any content regardless of tag restrictions for the rest of members. This includes images, javascript, objects like flash video player, etc.

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Admin Post Anything

Plugin URI:

Description: allows keymaster/administrators to post any content regardless of tag restrictions

Author: _ck_

Author URI: http://CKon.wordpress.com

Version: 0.02

*/



function bb_admin_post_anything($text) {

if (bb_current_user_can('administrate') ) {

remove_filter( 'pre_post', 'encode_bad' );

remove_filter( 'pre_post', 'bb_encode_bad' );

remove_filter('pre_post', 'bb_filter_kses', 50);

$text=addslashes($text);

$text=bb_autop($text);

}

return $text;

}

add_filter('pre_post', 'bb_admin_post_anything',9);

?>

[_ck_]

Minor change to force autop to run even with the removed filters

(so admins still get paragraph formatting).

I tried a YouTube embed and it wouldn’t do it. Is there anymore restrictions?

Hmm, the adding and removing of slashes may be messing with things. I’ll have to test it some more. I know it works for any regular html tags.

[_ck_]

Just tested a youtube embed copied right from their site and it works tested in IE and Firefox.

I don’t use the default bbpress template however, I wonder if that is affecting it somehow.

Are you using the updated v0.02 that I posted, not v0.01 ?

If it still doesn’t work, can you view source on the outputed page and copy just the part with that one post with full html here (between code tags obviously) so I can see what it is doing?

[_ck_]

I dug around on your forum until I found your test post.

Apparently something is yanking out object tags.

There might be a third party plugin that’s interfering with it and adding the filters back in.

I have to think about how to handle that situation… not sure if it’s even possible… I gotta figure out what’s happening in more detail somehow.

I tested it on my onvertigo.com site which is not using the default template either. It doesn’t work for me with any themes!

Strange…..using:

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2G_AHHxSctE"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2G_AHHxSctE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

Weirdness. I will have to explore and test some more.

Can you tell me what other plugins you are using that are common to both sites? It almost has to be a plugin conflict at this point.

Does it let you post other forbidden html like <hr> ?

[Trent Adams]

Turns out it doesn’t like the ‘allow images’ plugin by mdawaffe. Strange. Turned it off and it works great.

Don’t forget _ck_ to add these plugins to the repository!

https://bbpress.org/plugins/add/

I will look at the code for allow images but I suspect it’s because they must run one of the three bad filters after my filter runs.

I think I tried adding to the repository and nothing happened but I’ll try again.

[_ck_]

Okay by adding these to the remove_filters list, you can also run allow images:

remove_filter( 'pre_post', 'allow_images_encode_bad', 9 );

remove_filter( 'pre_post', 'allow_images', 52 );

It may also be necessary to increase my filter priority to 8, ie.

add_filter('pre_post', 'bb_admin_post_anything',;

Since I can’t edit my first post I will try to add it to the repository with the changes?

[Trent Adams]

If you email me the code, I can change your first post as we go.

I posted v0.03 on my wp blog

https://ckon.files.wordpress.com/2007/07/admin-can-post-anythingphp.doc

(rename to *.php)

Let me know if the allow images hack works?

[_ck_]

Fourth time is the charm? Ugh. Sorry!

This plugin now has an official page in the plugin browser:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/55

so check there for latest version.

Coolio cheers. Ripped the filters to remove for my own nefarious porpoises in bbSync.

Sweet! Going to test shortly…
