Display HTML in WF post?

5 replies
How do I show HTML in a forum post? (for example, a Paypal "Buy Now" button)...

I tried the [code] and [html] tags, but they only formatted the code in a separate window.

When I paste the HTML with no tags, it shows up as text.

Help?

    If you go into your user CP, towards the bottom, you can switch to an HTML editor for your posts. If you already are using this, then I'm not sure

    Hope that helps.

      Kevin,

      Hmm... when I post, I can see that HTML code is turned off (the "posting rules" area at the bottom of the page).

      I've been through the CP and don't see where to change that.

    Hi again Darrel,

    Go to user cp, and click edit options...it's all the way at the bottom of that page. Sorry I missed that earlier. Hope that does it.

    Darrel,

    Even with the advanced editor, I haven't been able to post any HTML.

    I did figure out how to do a paypal button:
    1. Create your button in paypal
    2. Add an image using the WYSIWYG editor (right-click the button image to copy the image location)
    3. Highlight the button image and add a link using the email link of the button
    There might be an easier way, but I couldn't find it...

    You can mess around with formatting in the Test Forum here:
