#3491 – Social Buttons plugin tags get converted in frontend editor

Hey there man,
I noticed an issue. The plugin tags of the Social Buttons {sh404sef_social_buttons}
get converted even when inside the front-end editor. This is a problem because now the plugin tags are no longer there and are replaced by the direct facebook/twitter/social html code (which on top of everything can also sometimes be broken based on html filters of the editor etc.), so when you save the article, you now save it with that code.

If possible, the plugin tags shouldn't be converted inside the frontend editor. This problem doesn't happen in the backend editor of course.


EDIT: HAHA Look they just got converted here too! Look at the buttons and look at the source text of my post. :)

I actually wrote
{ sh404sef_social_buttons }
(without spaces)
but now that tag is no longer there and it got replaced by the buttons

That's true, there are also more extension that can use an editor in the frontend.
But yeah, the main one is com_content only really. The only other one (native ) that I can think about is modules, as also modules could be edited in the frontend, but I really think the use of the plugin tags in modules would be almost none (and also, who edits modules from the frontend really?), or anyway pale in comparison to the com_content use, which is definitely more likely to be used.
Thanks!
