By default HTML in posts is disabled in VB4/VB3 and so pasting HTML code into a post won't work.

Enabling HTML can only be done (be default) on a per-forum basis so it is extremely dangerous to enable HTML is any forum untrusted users can post in. If you do enable HTML in a forum then please make sure only you or very trusted Admins have permission to post in said forums.

Edit- See explanation in next post.

Hmmm? This mod/plugin doesn't require you to enable HTML on the forum. It automatically converts the Ranker embed code into a tag.

The mod apparently looks for ranker embed codes when posts are made and pulls out a few variables then generates a bb code tag which vbulletin automatically sanitizes.

When parsing the post for bbcode, if the user has image posting permissions it will generate this code

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

I can also see they are preventing xss injection in the href attribute by validating that the url conforms to this regex:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

It would be great if you could make something like this (c&p from my request here: http://ozzmodz.com/showthread.php/53...m-with-threads)

This site enables creating different lists, and users can vote in those lists, reranking them, adding items and many other things. Also, and this is reason why it could be useful, this mods allow that we easily create HTML 5 widget from each list.

If we could have list on first post (that's why I'm looking for good mod to do that), or even better, have widget to the right (or left), like sidebar in vB4 (but we can't actually use sidebar, as each thread should be connected to different Ranker.com's list), it would be great.

Anyway, my first option is to use mod that enables first post visible on every page. Even better, if we could have sidebar version.

Mod should connect widget code with each thread ID, show widget right (or left) of thread content and thus enable users to vote in a widget and to write in a thread.

This is how I envision it:

We could enable this mod only in certain forums. Only certain usergroups would be able to enter widget code, as it is HTML (preferably that we could use HTML 5 code in that), for security reasons.

After that, mod would show "normal" thread, with widget to the side, users would vote in a widget, write in a thread and we all be happy to the rest of our lives.

I hope you would make it into mod, I think this has great potentials.

My further explanation in different thread:

They are very vertical oriented, as you can see.

Imagine that thread is linked with certain list (term used on Ranker.com), i.e. we can see that Ranker.com widget of this certain list only when viewing this thread.

This widget is placed like sidebar in vB4, but only in threads, independently from sidebars. To link list (widget) and thread, we put widget code in form and it than changes postbit in such way that thread is narrowed making place for widget. Thread otherwise acts like normal thread, but displays widget left or right from thread.

And we can choose in which forums and which usergroups can enter widget code.

More or less, that's it in a nutshell.

It would make great integration and lists would be easily seen on every page of the thread all the time.

I appreciate verifying the plugin. Cheers to ya! We made sure that the plugin is safe to install. I think Birdsofprey was referencing the last post I made (no plugin) where I suggested to enable HTML on the board - which is a big no no.

Ooo. This is interesting. We'll play around and see what we can come up with. So basically a sidebar module within the thread that shows the widget correct?

[davidatlas]

Hi. I went ahead and installed this on my board. My members love it. Do you know if we can add our own ads to these polls? That would be an interesting concept.

Hi David,

Thanks for trying out the plugin. I think revenue sharing is on the roadmap for the polls. Not sure though. I'll confirm with the developers.

[davidatlas]

Thanks. If this is in the roadmap, it's going to help increase my forums revenue since my members have already been actively using it sitewide.

Well, not sidebar module for use with built in sidebar, but something that looks like sidebar module. These threads with Ranker widget just would use different template, showing narrower thread content and thus making place for widget which is "static" as users scroll through thread.

I hope I make myself clear?

Still confirming David. I'm also going to ask the priority level on that.

I think I understand. Can you check this example out?

Is that what you were looking for?

No, not like this. Here's list on the right of contents of the first post, and only there.

I want it outside thread contents completely, like sidebar is, but I don't want to use sidebar, I only want to have lists there. And then lists would be visible everywhere, no matter what post people would be looking at.

I'm not good at making picture mockups, but I found something similar here: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/attac...7&d=1260720141

You have a thread, which is narrower, making place at the right (or left) for lists. List is visible everywhere in this thread, in "fixed" position as we scroll through thread. I saw some sites with ads (or other elements) placed like that, you scroll through some text, but have something fixed left or right, which is easy to make with HTML tables.

But it needs to be linked with certain thread, that each thread has it's own list.

Excellent.
