Asset Builder displaying HTML tags

(Kylie Llewellyn) #1

I have an asset builder where users enter their details via a WYSIWYG.

 

However the created asset displays the HTML tags in the details.

 

Is there a box need to uncheck?

 

Thanks!

Hi Kylie,

This is because of "Filter Frontend Input" option in Matrix on Global Preferences.

 

As mentioned on manuals page, "Such inputs, in rare cases, can affect the backend operations of Squiz Matrix and may cause unexpected and potentially adverse behavior. This preference eradicates this risk, improving the security of your system." So you may have to careful before switching the option to not filter.

 

If you are have a specific group of users (non-public) you want to allow this to, then this option can be changed for just that user group on Preferences screen.

Thanks Ash.... this is set to Filter Input. So do I select Do not filter Input?

Bingo!

Setting it to "Do Not Filter" won't escape any of the html tags and will maintain the formatting.

Cool! I'll give it a go.... hope it doesn't affect any of my other builders!
