Topics.post without parsing

[PitaJ]

So, I'm pretty sure that Tpoics.post calls filter:post.raw on content. Is there any way of passing a direct HTML string? If not, is there another way of achieving the same tasks as Topic.post? I'm pretty sure it's just Topic.create followed by Topic.reply anyways.

the post-parsing happens on post-request, not before saving the posts.
So you'd need to switch off any filter:parse.raw calls before post-deliver (of certain posts)?

As of this code filter:messaging.parse gets called with data-object that contains the parsed message and the original one.
So using a high priority (or low, I simply can't remember this fact ) for your hook and replacing data.parsed and data.parsedMessage with data.message inside should fit your needs (even so you wouldn't minimize other plugins performance).

No, man. It's for chat messages only. @pitaj wants to interact with topic posts.

UPD: I'll try to dig the subj.

@Mega Ah, my fault. So the real post-parsing works by calling the composer.renderPreview socket-id? because the search for filter:parse.raw doesn't show up any other possibilities just curious.

EDIT: my mind is tricking me out. please ignore

Uhm, it was kinda not so easy to dig it

Yes, Topics.post() entails filter:parse.post and I don't see any possibility to avoid it without core changing.

But, actually, if you even so wanna include raw html into posts, why would you just create another plugin?

Let's say BB-code [rawhtml][/rawhtml]. It'll be listening to filter:post.parse and will have priority more than Markdown and friends. Now all what the plugin should do > just replace < > " inside BB-code to right symbols, and removes [rawhtml][/rawhtml] from post.

What do you think, will it okay for you? :3

@Mega that solution has XSS vulnerability written all over it. It I add that tag as possible, anyone could use it in a post, which could add script tags, etc. I could maybe add a private key or something, but that is still dangerous.
