Bingo! Exactly spot on!

So you will be able to embed HTML in Wikidot pages? It will be on another domain so it will be secure, but this will be transparent to the user, just use HTML tags and Wikidot takes care of the rest.

HTML used on a different domain/website does no harm to anybody. Even if you iframe it on your website, it still can't do any harm.

But in theory, if you actually place the HTML code as part of your Wikidot webpage (which isn't possible to do, nor will it ever be possible to do, we are just talking hypothetically here), it can do the following:

Create/Edit/Delete/Rename/Parent/Tag/Upload Files of Wikidot pages
Modify the user's account settings (possibly changing password/email)
Change what the person is viewing

It would not be able to:

Change the Wikidot Engine

Essentially, it would be able to do what a normal user can do with Wikidot — albeit, automated.

Like I said, it's not possible and never will be :-)

In the topics I made there I was told HTML is not used to stop malicious code. By that does it mean code malicious to Wikidot, or malicious to the person viewing the site?

Well, all web browsers have inbuilt security which prevents a webpage from controlling a different webpage in your browser.

If you create code on Wikidot.com, then you can use it to control Wikidot.com. However, if you create code on Google.com, you will not be able to control Wikidot.com with it. Google code can only control the Google website. Wikidot code can only control the Wikidot website.

So the HTML module will put your code on a different website so that it can't control Wikidot.com. Does this make more sense now?

What do you mean? How is that so?

Re: Security risk?

Not if it is iframed on a different domain. That is what the planned HTML block will do.

Security risk?

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 02:23:59 +0000

Wouldn't allowing HTML be a security risk?

Rhombus, you should never need to log out and back in to get a codeblock to work. It just needs the browser cache clearing then a refresh. So on Firefox it's ctrl+shift+delete then in the details section of the popup window make sure the cache (only) is checked, then click OK. Then ctrl+r to refresh.

Uh… since when do you need to log out to get iframed html to work? :S

Am I misunderstanding something here.. ?

Rob's patience is legendary. We're planning a new tag, [[html]] that will make this work instantly.

so no more logging out and logging back in to get html to work? that would be sweet!

[[html]]

You probably already know this, and it's probably the reason you are planning the tag, but just so I'm on the record, that sounds fantastic.

I think RobElliott spends 3/4 of his time responding to "How do I embed xxx?" and the answer is always about the same.

Anyways, thank you for your quick help…

You're welcome. Sometimes it works out that way. I was posting responses almost as fast as you were asking questions! :)

You should have a look at this:
http://community.wikidot.com/blog:html-within-wikidot-type-2

Techniques for iframing code blocks are all over the forums, help and how-to pages. I think RobElliott spends 3/4 of his time responding to "How do I embed xxx?" and the answer is always about the same. Once you understand how html code blocks and iframes work together, you'll have added an excellent weapon to your Wikidot arsenal (pun intended!)

No one mentioned I had to add "/code/1" after the URL…

You're missing the [[iframe ...]] piece of the puzzle.

 [[iframe http://bestwikiever.wikidot.com/code-blocks/code/1 width="400px" height="75px" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"]]

yields this result from your page:

You should also surround your code block with comment tags to hide it on the page:

 [!-- [[code type="html"]]            
 
 
   
  Custom Search 
 
  [[/code]] --]

I want the search to appear on this page:

Not directly. Only as described above by embedding it a code block or uploading it to a page and then iframing it.
