[FIXED] Disable replacements in posts?

[Gary King]

Maybe it's a good idea to disable replacement variables in posts? (The vBulletin ones, such as { categorybackcolor }) :)

Unless, of course, you just want us to use spaces, but I'll try this anyways.

[filburt1]

Agreed, freaky stuff starts happening.

[Dean C]

I just insert some vbcode inside the replacement :)

[Gary King]

But what if you have a lot of replacements? And what about people who don't know about the replacements and just post their code? etc. etc.

[NTLDR]

IIRC the /me code uses the replacements, hence why they aren't disabled like they would be normally.

[assassingod]

/me wonders if a replacement like {categorybackcolor} works in the me tag

Good idea, disabling them would be great

[Gary King]

I don't know why this issue hasn't been brought up before.

[Dean C]

It's been brought up many times Gary but no-one has fixed it :)

[Gary King]

Has an admin read this thread yet I wonder?

[Dean C]

Well the situation as it stands is that we are not hacking vBulletin.org unless its deemed absolutely necessary so I don't think that this will be carried through :)

[N9ne]

I think it's necessary enough. Also, there's the problem of replacement variables being parsed inside .txt file attachments! That's quite bad too. For a lot of my hacks which contained replacement variables in them, I had to make the attachment a .php file.

The replacement variable problem is a big problem and I do hope that when this place is upgraded to beta5 they don't install a hack which makes this happen :(

[filburt1]

Really?

edit: Can't reproduce it when downloading the file, only when editing it via the text editor hack built in here (not sure if you guys can see it).

[Gary King]

When will vB.org be upgraded to 2.3.1? Or will it be?

Well, this one looks alright.

/me test

testing {categorybackcolor}

[Xenon]

ok, should be fixed now :)

[assassingod]

Nice work Xenon:)
{categorybackcolor}

[Xenon]

:)
no problem ;)

[Dean C]

<td bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}">

[Xenon]

do you believe it now? ^^

[Gary King]

There we go; thanks xenon :)

[Dean C]

What was wrong and how did you fix it then big man? :p

[Erwin]

Ye of little faith...

[Xenon]

@dean: nothing was "wrong" you know in a normal vb it's not possible to post replacementvars, but we need it for a hack...

i just preparsed the parsed code a bit more to get an effect likte the disable tag :)

[S.Shady]

xenon we knew it was due to a hack but what did you do to fix it :) others might be interested in the fix any board with the me hack for instance

[filburt1]

It's still being parsed when editing text files within the browser.

[assassingod]

Still being parsed in the CODE tag aswell.

[Xenon]

@filburt: yeah, i have to work on the editor, too. It's because it doesn't use the bbcodeparse2 function i haven't fixed it right now (will do soon, if i find out how)

@Steve: you're wrong, it's fixed in codetags:

[assassingod]

Are you sure? I used the imagesfolder replacement and it got replaced with "https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/vbimages/"

[Xenon]

yeah i am sure, but my fix just applies for showthread, if you use editpost or any other function which doesn't use bbcodeparse2 it would be parsed.

i try to find a better way to fix it, at least for vb3 ;)

[assassingod]

It was in showthread, im sure (but I originally posted from newreply)

[Xenon]

if you quoted a msg it would be parsed, too but if you posted it yourself it's impossible :)

[assassingod]

Well it was in the CODE tag and it wasnt in a quote either.

[Xenon]

sorry then, but i can't reproduce it.

and as long as you can't tell me exactly where and how it works, i assume everything works perfect and it's just in your phantasy ;)

[assassingod]

Im sure it wasnt my made-up fantasy hehe;)

Well, here is the thread:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56339

There is a CODE tag with the imagesfolder replacement. (You can find it because its above some text using the high tag)

Edit:
Well I just tested it twice, and it worked fine. Either im losing my mind, or you fixed it Xenon.;)

[Xenon]

well since i posted my last message about a small bug in my fix i didn't change anything anymore, and that was long time ago...

i'm currently just trying to fix the editpost/quote bugs, too :)

[assassingod]

Hmm, must be me then;)

Well glad to know you are fixing other issues:)

[Xenon]

no as i'm back i can fix those problems :)

ok, editpost/quoting should work now
i think that was all what was needed :)

for vb3 replacements are looking different, so shouldn't be a problem there ;)

btw. check your posts you've edited during the last hour, during my editpost tests it seems there was a little bug which converted { into nice code ;)

[assassingod]

Ok cool!:)

I did noticed a few minutes ago when editing a post, that it changed { into something different

Edit:

yeah, its chaning { into {
which is quite annoying since half the code I posted in the thread are {

[Xenon]

fast eyes you have ;)

[assassingod]

Very fast;)

But yeah, in the thread link I gave above, its converting { to


{


Edit:
But now ive just changed it back to { and it hasnt changed.

[Xenon]

yeah i know (or better i knew) ;)

[assassingod]

Looks like its sorted. Is it?

[Xenon]

at least i haven't had a problem during my last edits ;)

[assassingod]

I haven't got a problem either;)

[Xenon]

i like to hear that ;)
