Help with code stripping and Joomla and JCE

[lividsnails]

I was able to resolve this issue by UN-enabling the code-cleanup plugin of JCE. It was that simple for me. None of the solutions above worked for me but this did. It's under JCE plugin manager.

same problem! Thankx for posting it!

[learwbc4]

still nothing?

why do wysiwyg editors strip code and no-editor doesn't strip code?

and why does tinymce have 2 options: one to clean upon open and one to clean upon save, but jce only has one option (and that one option doesn't work)?

does anyone know if other editors have this problem? like wysiwyg pro, joomlack, ckeditor or others?

this issue has been going on for much too long.

just tried joomlaCK editor and it doesn't strip javascript tags.
haven't tested flash object tags, but i don't see why that wouldn't work as well.

For those of you that are using JCE you may want to look at the top link here:

Stick with the JCE but check the JCE config.
- Cleanup HTML should be set to No

If that does not work, try this solution:

If that does not help, try this alternative

I was having issues with Javascript being removed from my articles - the top link shows that you have to manage your group settings in the JCE group admin area - there is a drop down in there for Java, PHP and CSS

Hope this helps

Thanks! The top method worked for me. I had to allow Javascript.

I have been fighting with this problem as well. Switched to JCE because code from PayPal on two pages was getting changed so much it didn't work. The code was copy pasted from PayPal, and IF unchanged, worked fine. But, TinyMCE was re-writing it. It was solved with the extra controls in JCE until today when I edited a parameter on those pages. Almost lost my mind trying to figure it out. Then I watched it change the code even with everything turned "off". But, I couldn't believe what I discovered. One thing was causing the problem. I noticed one little bit of alt= text was getting deleted. Once I turned off all WYSIWYG editors and shortened the text in the alt it worked! Here's all I edited:
Original: alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!"
New: alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay!"

I can't imagine why that worked!! Maybe someone will be helped by this odd experience.

This what worked for me. It was Filtering settings in teh Article Parameters
http://docs.joomla.org/Why_does_some_HT ... n_1.5.8%3F

Very frustrating issue so I will post this on a few threads.

Ok this is how I solved it:

We built a website for a client, he could not copy paste [youtube] code into the 'edit code' tab in JCE editor, in the first round of troubleshooting, I did the same thing and I could paste the code and videos showed up.

I googled it, read all the threads, even installed AllVideo plugin, but that was not solving the problem, it was creating a new way to embed the videos, and more training to client on how to use it.

I was almost ready to connect to his PC with remote login, when it hit me..

I can insert the video and it works fine, when he does the code is stirred down, the only difference between his and my access: I'm the Super Admin. Bingo! I made him super admin as well and problem solved.. he can now easily embed videos.

It did solve it for me, however I could allow super admin access to the client, guess if you cannot allow super admin access to your users.. the rabbit hole goes deeper for that solution.

All the best

one more piece of the puzzle can be security plugins. Like the siteground Jhack plugin. Its a great plugin but it will strip some tags as it is configured out of the box. Disable it or paly with the settings to make it work as you would like.

I just had this problem and after viewing the forums over at JCE I found this post
http://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/foru ... ped#p35428

It helped 100%.

You basically need to download the 2 files they post and replace them on your server, then set in JCE Groups->Editor Parameters, set Allow IFrames to Yes

Hello Everybody

i know that this is a very outdated topic, but none of the solutions that i found here helped me in solving the stripping html problem. It was driving me crazy: as i have just found the solution that fits for my website, i want to share it with you.

This solution applies to J 1.5.23 and JCE.

The problem is: embedding any code via the front end. The editor strips away any string beginning with < and ending with < or >.

In Joomla articles' configuration, i was selecting Blacklist filter and no group in filter groups: according to the description, this was supposed to work, as if you have no group selected, the blacklist filter shouldn't apply to anyone. But that's not the way...

You have to select

"filter groups" ---> JUST public level

"filter type" ---> blacklist

and there you go: you can write any code in your editor.

Bye!

Had the same issue.
Read and followed all of the great responses - to no avail.
Got rid of jce. Tried a different editor.
Tried changing user groups, blacklisting, whitelisting, article parameters.

Nothing.

Finally figured out I had jhackguard installed.
If you have this, or a similar product to protect your site from sql injections, attacks, etc. you can turn off the plugin - put your code in - save it - then turn your protections back on.

Not sure if anyone else had a similar difficulty when all the other troubleshooting efforts failed, so wanted to share.

Thanks to everyone out there making Joomla so great!!!!!!!!!!

In Joomla 1.5, 2.5 and 3.0 using JCE 154 up to the current version of 2.3 its the same way to allow this.

Go to
Components > JCE Editor > Editor Profiles > Default > Editor Parameters > Advanced

And then select "Yes" for

• Allow Javascript
  Allow CSS
  Allow PHP
  XHTML Inline Scripts

Now you can enter [youtube] Video, flash, Facebook, Twitter, etc embed code

Thank you to everyone who has maintained this thread, as it's a tricky one.

JCE forum assisted with this link that solved the problems for me in Joomla 2.5.

Turned out that RSFirewall was the culprit as it was disrupting starting tags for iframes and so on, in order to protect against Javascript injections. With No Editor it would disrupt the tag. With JCE or any other editor, it would either scramble or wipe the code on save.

Here's the details:
http://www.rsjoomla.com/support/documen ... frame.html

There are a few options for how to solve this. Probably best to simply Whitelist your own IP to create an ultimate exception for yourself (and anyone else) who need to use those features that RSFirewall is scrambling.

Hope this helps someone who has tried everything suggested in this thread, but none of which has worked.

Was at my wit's end, till we discovered that it was RSFirewall all along.

Joomla is still stripping the code..

whether its done in the default wyswyg editor, tinymce or jce..

all of them have the html stripped out.

damn frustrating.

Yep here we are in August 2013 and Joomla still has its head up it's...well nevermind.

Just breaks it in a different way , still does not work.

Enter this is code mode (JCE 2.3.3.2)

Code: Select all

<style>
.bicycle365-1 { width: 320px; height: 50px; }
@media(min-width: 500px) { .bicycle365-1 { width: 468px; height: 60px; } }
@media(min-width: 800px) { .bicycle365-1 { width: 728px; height: 90px; } }
</style>
<script async src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
<!-- Bicycle365-1 -->
<ins class="adsbygoogle bicycle365-1"
     style="display:inline-block"
     data-ad-client="ca-pub-0196865803122339"
     data-ad-slot="4219293195"></ins>
<script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>

Save

Get this when you open it again.

Code: Select all

<p>
	<style type="text/css" scoped="scoped">
		<!-- .bicycle365-1 {
			width: 320px;
			height: 50px;
		}

		}
		@media(min-width: 800px) {
			.bicycle365-1 {
				width: 728px;

The same problem here, with J! 3.1.5

[jamarcus]

I am having the same problem with Joomla 3.2. I'm working with the Twitter Tweet button and the script code keeps getting stripped out of the articles after each save. I have tried several things. First of all, I am a SuperUser. I have removed SCRIPT from the prohibited elements list in TinyMCE and added it to the valid elements. I have tried removing script from the blacklist in libraries > Joomla > filters >input.php. I have tried working in JCE editor and TinyMCE with the same results. After every save the script code disappears. HELP! Thank you!

[dpacadmin]

You can add script if you use no editor, select in the User Manger settings. You can also try adding an extension or plugin that allows scripts in articles.

[bwakad]

The best solution I have found came from Gavick developer: use codemirror editor by going to: User Manager (click Super User), (click Basic Settings), at Editor choose CodeMirror.

It is basically a plain text editor that does NOT strip anything you put in there. I find it to be the best, and if you are installing and edit websites this is probably the most easy one to use!

[dpacadmin]

CodeMirror seems to be a plugin for the JCK editor;

I also tracked down this one for JCE, Sourcerer;

Thank you for your information and direction!
