#11 - Turn off TinyMCE Cleanup Code

TinyMCE, the default WYSIWYG editor in Joomla, is set to strip away "unsafe" HTML tags in order to protect you from certain exploits. This article shows you how to switch this off to be able to insert srcipt tags.

A safety feature of the TinyMCE WYSIWYG editor is the stripping off of certain html codes such as <script>. Sometimes though you need to be free to insert these codes at will. To switch the safety feature off you need to turn this off from the Mambot parameters:

  • Mambots > Site Mambots
  • Click on TinyMCE Editor
  • Turn off the Code Cleanup parameter.

N.B. Switching off this protection exposes you to significant security risks. DO NOT switch this off, if you have enabled components which allow users to submit content via TinyMCE because they would be able to insert exploits into the content.

Doesnt always work. A lot more settings to complete. Especially introducing
Youtube into descriptions

It cannot therefore be with, or even without, explicitly as it was before a
change has been propagated througout the entire system first. Of course, the
user would required Joomla to do this for them, should they one day decide the
settings have not produced the same outcome.
