Using the HTML Plugin
The HTML Plugin is one of the easiest ways add anything to a wiki page. It is extremely powerful.In this section
Creating the HTML Plugin
For example, in order to embed this YouTube video
in a wiki page:YouTube generates the following code:
YouTube script
<object width="580" height="360"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KBewVCducWw&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&border=1"></param> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KBewVCducWw&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="580" height="360"></embed> </object>
If you attempt to simply copy and paste this code into a wiki page, Tiki will sanitize the script elements. Instead, use the HTML plugin:
HTML Plugin
{HTML()}
<object width="580" height="360">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KBewVCducWw&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&border=1"></param>
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KBewVCducWw&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="580" height="360"></embed>
</object>
{HTML} | Note: For complete details on the HTML plugin, see the Tiki Documentation . Tiki also includes a number of feature-specific plugin that can be used an an alternative to the HTML plugin. See Tiki Documentation
for details. |
 | Warning: The HTML plugin will allow you (or anyone with permission) to add any HTML coding to the page; this includes potentially malicious code. Be sure to allow only trusted editors to use this plugin. |
Plugin Parameters
The HTML plugin contains one optional parameter: Wiki syntax. Use this parameter to instruct Tiki to parse any wiki syntax. For example:HTML Plugin without wiki syntax parsing
{HTML()}
This link uses an __onclick__ event to produce a popup window:
<a href="#" onClick="alert( 'This message is __bold__.' )">
Click Here
</a>
{HTML}will produce:
This link uses an __onclick__ event to produce a popup window:
Click Here
Notice that the text "onclick" and "bold" are not bold. By default, Tiki will not parse wiki syntax in the HTML plugin.
Use the Wiki syntax parameter to tell Tiki to parse the syntax. For example:
HTML Plugin with wiki syntax parsing
{HTML(wiki=1)}
This link uses an __onclick__ event to produce a popup window:
<a href="#" onClick="alert( 'This message is __bold__.' )">
Click Here
</a>
{HTML}will produce:

Enabling the HTML Plugin
Plugins must be enabled before they can be used in wiki page. If you attempt to use a disabled plugin, Tiki displays the following message:Approving the HTML Plugin
Some plugins require approval before they become "live," especially those, such as the HTML plugin, that allow users to embed specific coding. Only users with the necessary permission can approve pending plugins. | Tip: To avoid requiring approval, Tiki provides specialized plugins for specific purposes. See Tiki documentation for a list of available plugins. |
To approve the pending HTML plugin:
- Click View Details. Tiki displays the details of the HTML plugin.

- Click Preview to execute the plugin once. Tiki reloads the page, executing the plugin. But for subsequent page visits, the plugin will not execute.
- Click Approve make the plugin "live." Tiki reloads the page, fully executing the plugin code.
- Click Reject to disapprove the plugin and deny its execution. Tiki displays the following message:
