  • What text formatters do

    Text formatters change how text written by members is shown. They turn BBCode into formatting, link @profile names, show embedded media, and so on. You turn them on or off per quota, so different kinds of members can be allowed different things.

  • Where to set them

    Open ACP > Modules > Core > System Core > Quota Config and choose the quota. In the Text Permissions section:

    • Allow ALL HTML Tags: allows any HTML (only for quotas you trust).
    • Allowed HTML Tags: the HTML tags allowed when Allow HTML is on.
    • Active Text Formatters: the formatters for this quota.

  • The formatters

    Jamroom Open Source has these:

    Formatter If active
    Allow BBCode BBCode tags are turned into HTML.
    Allow HTML HTML tags listed in Allowed HTML Tags are allowed.
    Convert @ Tags @profile_name links to that profile.
    Make URLs Clickable Web addresses in the text become links.
    Convert Embed Tags Embed tags, such as [jrEmbed module="jrVideo" id="5"], show the embedded item (Editor Embedded Media module).
    Convert # Tags #tag links to a search for that tag (Timeline module).

    Modules add more. For example:

    Formatter Module If active
    Media URL Scanner Media URL Scanner Media addresses, such as a YouTube link, are replaced with a player.
    Allow Smileys Smiley Support Smiley text patterns are replaced with smiley images.
    Validate iframes iFrame Control iframe addresses are checked against the allowed domains.
