Joomla editor removes HTML tags in administrator screen - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

hello,

i have been searching forums find solution can find solutions relevant joomla 1.5 not 2.5.

i have been modifying component include mass mail function can select list of users , post same message.
the reason not wish use standard joomla mass mail functionality select specific users , have email templates have logo embedded, background , opening line changes names each user.

everything works fine apart when specify text body of message - html tags removed.
even basic ones

code: select all

<p> test </p><p>new line</p>

they displayed

code: select all

<p>test new line</p>

as brief work around new lines have substituted replace function must specify [p] , [/p] replaced afterwards.

all filtering turned off , able edit using html in articles, not in admin menu.

i have had @ using jrequest_allowhtml getvar function, service error 500.

the code seems able pick message is:

code: select all

$message =& jtable::getinstance('message', 'table');

i not wish modify joomla core files somehow remove filtering put site in vulnerable state.

the code controller of component in admin site is:

code: select all

function massmail(){
      // check request forgeries
      jrequest::checktoken() or jexit('invalid token');
      
      $itemid = jrequest::getint('itemid');
      $now = jfactory::getdate();
      $user    = jfactory::getuser();
      $post   = jrequest::get('post');
      
      $message =& jtable::getinstance('message', 'table');
      //$message = jrequest::getvar('message', '', 'post', 'string');
      
      //take recipients in array
      $recipients = jrequest::getvar('id_categ');
      //$recipient = jrequest::getvar('recipient', '', 'post', 'string');      
      
      foreach($recipients $recipient){
            
            $recipientinfo = jfactory::getuser($recipient);      //get recipient info recipient's username
            
            //check if recipient info valid/username exists
            if(empty($recipientinfo)){
               $msg = jtext::_('com_jblance_invalid_username');
               //$link   = jroute::_('index.php?option=com_jblance&view=admproject&layout=dashboard', false);
               $link   = jroute::_('index.php?option=com_jblance&view=admproject&layout=mail', false);
               
               $this->setredirect($link, $msg, 'error');
               return false;
            }
            
            $message->date_sent = $now->tomysql();
            $message->idfrom = $user->id;
            $message->idto = $recipientinfo->id;
            
            //save file attachment `if` checked
            $chkattach = jrequest::getvar('chk-attach', 0, 'post', 'int');
            $attachedfile = jrequest::getvar('attached-file', '', 'post', 'string');
            
            if($chkattach){
               $message->attachment = $attachedfile;
            }
            else {
               $attfile = explode(';', $attachedfile);
               $filename = $attfile[1];
               $delete = jbmessage_path.ds.$filename;
               unlink($delete);
            }
            
            if(!$message->save($post)){
               jerror::raiseerror(500, $message->geterror());
            }
            
            //send pm notification email
            $jbmail = jblancehelper::get('helper.email');      // create instance of class emailhelper
            $post['idfrom'] = $user->id;
            $post['idto'] = $recipientinfo->id;
            $jbmail->massmailnotification($post);
            
            $msg   = jtext::_('com_jblance_message_sent_successfully');
            $return   = jroute::_('index.php?option=com_jblance&view=admproject&layout=dashboard', false);
            $this->setredirect($return, $msg);
         }
   
   
   }
