have you checked your joomla user settings?

Thanks for the answer and sorry for the late reply.
I'm Super User and Admin in Joomla, and storeowner in Virtuemart, but I still can't add html code.
That's a big problem, because we use quite a lot of html formating in the individual descriptions... :(

Sorry again, I'm usually only working on saturdays on this site ;)
I'm using the standard "TinyMCE" editor. Under "forbidden elements" is only "wobble"^^
Where can I see/change the permissions?

Biggreuda if you only do this on Saturdays I'll guess you are using an older release you will have missed this weeks updates. See http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=94183.0

Thanks for the hint, jenkinhill!
To be honest, i've read the first and the last pages of the thread you linked and now i'm really not shure if i want to do this update until it's stable and official ;)

millennium, check your JCE permissions.

I think its whitelist or something

Can you edit joomla articles?>

Hi, i can insert tables in joomla articles, but when i press save button in product description the end of product description is missing. Tried to save html code directly in database, the result is the same. It seems that database, isn't updated correctly. Maybe you know what a problem could be? Thanx for your answer.

Hi, it doesn't matter. I solved the problem by extending product description varchar entry in database, that's the problem when you try to enter longer product description. Thank you for your help

hi there, have the same issue - can't save any HTML in product description using TinyMCE. Tried other editors - same result. I'm storeadmin in VM and superuser in Joomla. Have all permission in editor settings. I have no problem in using it in Joomla articles; just VM product description isn't working. Any ideas what the problem might be?
I'm using Joomla 1.7.3 with VM 2.0.0

go into vmart 'tools"

and do the "update or install tables if necessary"

AND: 2.0 needs PHP 5.3

I'm stuck as well.  I need to embed a youtube video with an iframe into a category description and it's getting stripped.  I am "admin" on both VM & Joomla.  Tried with no editor at all, tried JCE, TinyMCE etc... All same results.  Please help!

You do not mention your versions, but it works in cat desc for me in VM2.0.15F so update when 2.0.16 is rele4ased (very soon!). Test update on a backup first.
