#36 - Editing HTML in Joomla
Compass Designs have featured the following article which is a great way to allow you to edit HTML in Joomla. I'm reproducing the article here because I think it is a great trick to keep up your sleeve.
There are lots of times you might want to work in raw HTML in a Joomla article or module. For example, embedding flash objects, a YouTube video, or maybe embed a widget in a module like Feedburner.
Unfortunately, the editor screen you are using will strip out the HTML code, or cause an error if you haven't specifically set the parameters not to clean your HTML. Rather than having to turn the editor on/off in global configuration, you can use the following idea to keep a standard HTML Editor user.
Create a super administrator, I call him "HTMLEditor". In the User Manager, find the user manager and in the editor parameter choose "No Editor".
Now anytime you need to edit raw HTML just login using this user. You have now a user which you can always use to play with your HTML whilst you keep your normal admin user for normal editing of articles.
