How to add your own HTML tag in article content of Joomla 1.5.x

JoomlaI was working on the Joomla 1.5.9 and tried to add one form in an article, but the <form> tag got ripped off. To get it back, you will have to do at least two changes.

  1. Turn off the WYSIWYG Editor (i.e. TinyMCE editor) you were using. To do so, you can update the user profile by choosing no editor for yourself.
  2. Then you need to update the Filterings Options settings in Global Parameter, otherwise all <form> <input> tags will be kept by turning off WYSIWYG editor, but the ACTION attribute in the <form> will be filtered out by Joomla.

How to update Filtering Option:

  1. Click Article Manger.
  2. Click Parameters option from the tool bar area in Article Manager page.
  3. On the parameters pop-up, scroll down to the bottom (if your screen is small, hit F11 to full screen) and you will see the Filtering Options.
  4. Select all other user groups in the Filtering Groups section, exclude your own user group (for example, administrator or super administrator).
  5. Then select Blacklist(default) from the Filtering Type section.
  6. Last, scroll up to hit Save button to save your changes.

Now if you are in the administrator group and you turned off the WYSIWYG editor, you should be fine to add your own <form action=”your own URL” method=”POST” …> </form> tags in your article contents.
