If you're like me, one of your 2009 resolutions is to upgrade all Joomla 1.1x sites you have kicking around into fully updated 1.5x versions.

There are a number of configuration options available to you in 1.5 for the first time [to Joomla] - and one of the easiest to miss is due to the new parameter button layout (when you click on a component, or core function the parameters for that function of the site are accessible by clicking on a particular button, not located in the main admin menu.)

Specifically interesting is the new article HTML Filtering system.  You can now filter out specific tags in your articles automatically; this is great because you can avoid your contributors publishing erroneous or potentially harmful bits of code, as well as choose which user groups are allowed to post full HTML (for limiting 3rd party video embeds etc).

Avoid head-scratching; go to Content>Article Manager>Parameters and then in the Filtering Options, choose 'registered' and 'blacklist' - now all registered users can submit only tags*not* in the list you then fill in; play around from there.  With this setting, and no tags filled in of course, users can submit full HTML - like youtube video embed codes etc...

HTML comments doenst work though posted by Ahmad Alfy on 2009-01-26 Tried to disable filtering, played with settings but never could really insert HTML comments. With editor on/off nothing really works! Quote

HTML Comments? posted by admin on 2009-01-26 @ Ahmad: It depends on what comment extension you're using - they normally will allow you to turn on or off HTML code handling; the comment fields usually lie outside the control of Joomla's main article field system. So, look at the settings for your comment extension in your site's admin side. Quote
