vb.org Archive - vBindex v2.1

for those who have the problem with their bbcodes breaking in pieces when characterlimit is reached:

i think i found a solution, which allows the following things:

-have admins post html
-have the "read more" whether the post is over the limit or not
-have the post cut itself in front of a bbcode that would be cut in half by the character limit
-have the post cut itself in front of a html tag that would be cut in half by the character limit
-have the news post follow the "use smilies" option that you set when you post the news

YOU MUST NOT

- use [ tags in your news posts except in bbcode

- use slashes inside html arguments. means you can do

Code:

<a href="http://ww.vbulletin.org/forum">vb.org</a>

but you cannot use

Code:

<a href="http://ww.vbulletin.org/forum">http://ww.vbulletin.org/forum</a>

you can use slashes in the rest of the post

what you need to do is to is to

1) backup your vbindex.php

2) replace the whole news section
(starting with:

Code:

// news (based on code by TECK)

and ending with

Code:

// end news

)

with the code below
from how i understand it there are no additional queries, and from how i understand it it was the first time i used all these functions so there might be errors. it works for me though.

PHP Code:


		
			
// news (based on code by TECK)

  $newsavatarurl=''.$bburl.'/'.$newsavatarurl2.'';

  }

  eval("\$newsavatar = \"".gettemplate('home_avatar')."\";");

}

// end avatar

  eval("\$newsbits .= \"".gettemplate('home_newsbit')."\";");

}

eval("\$news = \"".gettemplate('home_news')."\";");

}

// -------------------------

// end news

and as this board here parses bbcode even in php-tags, you will need to replace the link $newsavatarurl with your own clear.gif, as it now leads to vbulletin.orgs clear.gif

feedback appreciated
