Extension talk:SecureHTML

Shouldn't this be written a different way
Shouldn't the localsettings.php lines be written like this:


 * require_once( "includes/DefaultSettings.php" );

In addition, I have wikipedia 1.7, can I use this program?
 * I do not know

Also, have you considered combining this program with the other stubs program? It would be easier to install. Odessaukrain 03:47, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * In terms of ease of installation, I would suggest using PEAR. Jean-Lou Dupont 11:39, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Jean-Lou Dupont, thank you for your prompt response, what a wonderful surprise.
 * Sorry to be so dense, especially when the page clearly says 1.10, does this extension work for wikipedia 1.7?
 * Extension:SecureHTML and Extension:Anysite doesn't work, and Extension:Anysite has major security flaws, so I only have your extension to use.
 * I am trying to embed a blog into my webpage. Odessaukrain 18:42, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I do not know if this works under 1.7 nor will I test this. Sorry. Jean-Lou Dupont 19:19, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Why don't you test it? Nothing will explode I am sure ;-) Jean-Lou Dupont 19:32, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure, I will let you know asap. I just didn't want to go through the hassle if other people have already tested it. Odessaukrain 09:31, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Is there a way to set the width and height of the included html page on a case by case basis? How is that handled in this extension? e.g. to order to avoid scroll bars 118.92.110.162 07:45, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi - the extension has nothing to do with scrollbars - you must control this behavior. Are you by any chance including an iframe?

Jean-Lou Dupont 10:12, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the quick response. I was just trying to compare it with the anysite extension.  With anysite the height and width of the HTML you embed is controlled globally in the extension file.  If you embed a page larger than the allowed area, then it puts scroll bars on it, so yes, I guess the anysite extension does put it into an iframe.


 * If I use securehtml, does it allow me to embed another URL into the page? If so, how is the height and width controlled for how that page appears - just by the surrounding mediawiki code?

 * It allows unrestricted HTML using tag section on edit protected pages (see the protect tab on each page). If you require more information on HTML in general, I would suggest googling. Jean-Lou Dupont 23:48, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Functionality explained?
I am not a programmer and at the edge of my understanding when I read the description of this extension. Looking for a simple solution to include javascript and php code in pages without compromising security. When comparing this extension with Extension:HTMLets the latter seems less complicated. I don't need the functionality of SecureHTML that allows users to include widgets, at least not for now. Are there other options/functions I possibly might miss if I go for the simpler solution using HTMLets? --Kassoe 20:54, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I am putting the finishing touches to Extension:SecureWidgets which should be helpful. I also commit to adding more details on Extension:SecureHTML shortly.
 * I do not have a side-by-side comparison with other extensions, sorry. Jean-Lou Dupont 23:49, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
