Full HTML as default

By Dubber Dan on 21 Dec 2007 at 11:27 UTC

Is it possible to set Full HTML as the default input format to save me having to click into there on each node?

Comments

Sure can

You can do this in your admin area: admin/settings/filters. Change the radiobutton to full html and click the button. That's it.

Note: if you allow visitors to post, you probably don't want to let them use full html, as it may present security or layout problems. Configure the input formats as needed.

Cheers, knew it would be

Cheers, knew it would be somewhere obvious!

How would you recommend configuring the format, if the default must be used by all roles? Enable the HTML filter? Thanks :-)

If it's just you managing

If it's just you managing the site, then there's no issues, but if there's a number of people, or a large community that can post, then as advised above don't go with PHP.

I've gone with Full HTML by default as I'm the only person that edits the site and pretty much every node I create uses full HTML, so it saves me a click or 2 each node.

It's just me and someone I trust, and I left it at Full HTML.

How would this be done in Drupal 6? (I see no Settings > Filters)

Yes, it is possible. Is it

Yes, it is possible. Is it a good idea? No. Repeat. NO.

Why so adamently NO?

Dubber Dan commented 12 April 2008 at 11:09

Surely if it's just one person that adds content, then there's no issue with changing the default to HTML? Yes I agree, if there's a number of people that add to a site, then keep the restriction in place.

"Because..."

1kenthomas commented 16 April 2008 at 06:42

It seemed in the context above that there was generally more than one person, or a restricted number of authorized individuals who knew what they were doing, who might be adding content to the sites described.

Full HTML as currently defined exposes the site to security and other risks, and even when restricted to one person, represents a serious risk if that person (or persons) may insert code that can potentially represent an code exploit of the site, whether via injection or otherwise.

One therefore might go so far as to say it should not be available as a default at all...

Yep, agree with most of

Dubber Dan commented 21 April 2008 at 08:55

Yep, agree with most of that, but I still don't think a definitive no is appropriate.

As for it not being available at all as a default, that would be a complete pain for me, so I'm very happy it is available, but not out of the box as currently seems the sensible way to do it.
