i’d like for my users to be able to use <img> tags to post pictures. Is there a plugin available that will allow for this? I want to do everything ‘by the book’ as much as possible because i have such a fresh clean install here… please let me know?

[@meeciteewurkor Member 18 years, 2 months ago]

This didn’t work:

'img' => array(

'src' => array(),

'alt' => array(),

'title' => array()),

added that to formatting-function.php in the bb_allowed_tags() function.

Seems like it would have, though?

[@aphelionz Participant 18 years, 2 months ago]

indeed…

[@aphelionz Participant 18 years, 2 months ago]

I just tried plugin-izing that but it didn’t work either… what are we missing?

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Allow <img> tags in posts

Plugin URI: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/149

*/

function outlet_bb_allowed_tags() {

$tags = array(

'a' => array(

'href' => array(),

'title' => array(),

'rel' => array()),

'img' => array(

'src' => array(),

'alt' => array(),

'title' => array()),

'blockquote' => array('cite' => array()),

'br' => array(),

'code' => array(),

'em' => array(),

'strong' => array(),

'ul' => array(),

'ol' => array(),

'li' => array()

);

return apply_filters( 'bb_allowed_tags', $tags );

}

add_filter( 'bb_allowed_tags', 'outlet_bb_allowed_tags', -1, 3);

?>

[@meeciteewurkor Member 18 years, 2 months ago]

hmm.. I noticed on the post page, where it says “allowed markup” the img tag isn’t listed. Don’t know if that would have anything to do with it?

[@meeciteewurkor Member 18 years, 2 months ago]

nevermind, that list is hard-coded into post-form.php. That would have to be changed, too, just to let people know the tag is allowable. If we can get it to work, of course.

[@aphelionz Participant 18 years, 2 months ago]

hmm.. thats essentially just a print statement in edit-form.php in the templates folder… I added it but it did not help.

[@meeciteewurkor Member 18 years, 2 months ago]

what about the encode_bad function in the same formatting-functions.php file?

It has the same list of default allowed html tags. I don’t know enough php yet to understand what it does, though?

Maybe the img tag needs to be placed here as well?

function encode_bad( $text ) {

$text = wp_specialchars($text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?strong)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?em)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?a.*?)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?ol)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?p)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|
|', '
', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?ul)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?li)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?blockquote.*?)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?code)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace(“|(.*?)|se”, “‘' . encodeit('$1') . '‘”, $text);

return $text;

[@aphelionz Participant 18 years, 2 months ago]

Added this to the above function… still nothing

function outlet_encode_bad( $text ) {

$text = wp_specialchars($text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?strong)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?em)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?a.*?)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?ol)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?p)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?img)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|
|', '
', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?ul)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?li)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?blockquote.*?)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?code)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace(“|(.*?)|se”, “‘' . encodeit('$1') . '‘”, $text);

return $text;

}

add_filter( ‘encode_bad’, ‘outlet_encode_bad’, -1, 3);

There’s also the bb_autop function but that unfortunately is beyond me… I can barely understand regex as it is.

Anyone?

[@peiqinglong Member 18 years, 2 months ago]

I would also like to know if there is an img plugin/rewrite for bbpress.

[@aphelionz Participant 18 years, 2 months ago]

function outlet_encode_bad( $text ) {

$text = wp_specialchars($text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?strong)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?em)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?a.*?)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?ol)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?p)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?img.*?)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|
|', '
', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?ul)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?li)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?blockquote.*?)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?code)>|', '<$1>', $text);

$text = preg_replace(“|(.*?)|se”, “‘' . encodeit('$1') . '‘”, $text);

return $text;

}

..should work, but doesn’t.

Ok, how bbPress does it is that it takes every < and > and replaces them with the &lt; and &gt; characters.

Then, it goes through the above list (the exceptions) and turns the lt’s and the gt’s back to actual <‘s and >’s. I can’t get it to recognize the img tag though, because regular expressions confuse the hell out of me. If anybody can get it to recognize the img tags, you’d be making a lot of people happy. For now I am going to take a break…

[@meeciteewurkor Member 18 years, 2 months ago]

yeah, regex is confusing sometimes. I just bought a book on them off of Amazon. I’ll get back with you in a week or so. jk. I’ll keep fiddling and see what I can turn up, if anything.

[@meeciteewurkor Member 18 years, 2 months ago]

I would be willing to bet that if you duplicated the “a” tag and used “img” where every “a” is, it would work. because “img” uses attributes like “a” uses attributes. just a thought. I’ll give it a shot…

[@meeciteewurkor Member 18 years, 2 months ago]

ha! I got it to work… hold on and I’ll post what I did…

[@meeciteewurkor Member 18 years, 2 months ago]

in formatting-functions.php I added this under the function encode_bad:

$text = preg_replace('|<(/?img.*?)>|', '<$1>', $text);

under function bb_allowed_tags() I added this:

'img' => array(

'src' => array(),

'alt' => array(),

'title' => array()),

for an example see this post I made where it succeeded.

http://meeciteewurkor.com/bbpress/topic/7?replies=2#post-21

I added the /bb-images/bbpress.png image in a post. yay!

[@aphelionz Participant 18 years, 2 months ago]

but that’s exactly what I did but I plugin-ified it instead of just hacking the code…

I just tried what you did and it works! Excellent. There must be something wrong with my plugin approach (aka i don’t fully understand filters).

Great work – my users will be excited.

[@meeciteewurkor Member 18 years, 2 months ago]

heh.. didn’t notice that. It is exactly the same.

oh well, at least one can place images now. Glad we got this one figured out. If I ever implement bbpress on a wide scale, that will be the first thing users ask me.

[@meeciteewurkor Member 18 years, 2 months ago]

I’m not sure how the plugins work, but this would be a good candidate, so the core code doesn’t have to be hacked.

[@talkaboutdesign Member 18 years, 1 month ago]

tried the code you provided, doesnt work.

Try this plugin: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/5?replies=4
