Sorry if I’m misunderstanding what Allow image URLs does, but I want to allow safe HTML (or no HTML) in an entry but still allow images to be posted. Is this possible? It seems like setting Allow only safe HTML cancels out Allow image URLs.

For example, when I put in the html code for an image with Allow only safe HTML on, the code is displayed, not the image.

I’m using EE 1.6 Build 20070708.

Your image tags, if HTML, should be converted to pMcode for you automatically, and pMcode [img] tags should work for sure.  What is the format of the image tags you are publishing?

I can’t replicate the problem you are having in the most current build. We’re up to 20070726 now.

Can you show me a link to where this is happing, or post what you’re using for the image link?

I should also mention my formatting is set to Textile—maybe that could be the problem.

Here’s my image link. I’ve added spaces at the beginning and end for this post only.

< img class="right" src="/images/uploads/Image/town_hall_courtesy_the_anchor_.jpg" alt="" >

I’ll go test with Textile. 😊

No, I don’t think it is Textile. I just tested on another site, and the image was viewable. Puzzling. Will test more…

Seems that, if the image has a class, it ends up displayed as code, but if I remove the class, the image shows up.

Now *that* I can replicate. Sounds like a bug to me.

Do you want to report it, or should I?

Eric, it should work if you place your class after the src= attribute.  The current Safe HTML parser is expecting that as the first attribute.

Ahhh, that makes a difference. I alway put my class before src.

You can report it, Sue. Thank you.

Derek, that worked, switching the order. The only problem is there are a bunch of images on the site where class comes first. I don’t think the Find and Replace handles regex, does it?

No, though if you are experienced, MySQL offers regex statements that you can use with phpMyAdmin or the SQL Manager.  If you send me an email (not a PM), though, I can send you a file in the morning that will allow your image tags to work without changing the order.

That’s ok, Derek. There weren’t as many as I’d thought. I’ve changed them over, and everything seems to be working.

So Derek, do we need to file a formal bug report if you’ve already fixed it? 😊
