Preventing !!!!!!! ???????

Is there any way to knock out multiple punctuation like this??????????????

Damn, I hate posts like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or sentences ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ full of this.

Of course. Use:
$searcharray = array("/([!]*)/si", "/([?]*)/si", "/([~]*)/si");
$replacearray = array("!", "?", "~");

$txt = preg_replace($searcharray, $replacearray, $txt);

Thank you for the tools! I'll see if I can apply them properly. :)

I would presume that functions_newpost.php would be a likely place to insert this. Picking the right spot might be tricky.

In functions_bbcodeparse, find:

PHP Code:


		
			
// ###################### Start bbcodeparse2 #######################

function parse_bbcode2($bbcode, $dohtml, $dobbimagecode, $dosmilies, $dobbcode, $iswysiwyg = 0, $donl2br = 1, $doresize = 1)

{

// parses text for vB code, smilies and censoring



    global $DB_site, $vboptions, $bbuserinfo, $templatecache, $smiliecache;

    global $html_allowed;

Add after:

PHP Code:


		
			
$searcharray = array("/([!]*)/si", "/([?]*)/si", "/([~]*)/si");

$replacearray = array("!", "?", "~");



$bbcode = preg_replace($searcharray, $replacearray, $bbcode);

If you really look inside the above string, you'll see: This is a test!!!

For some reason, it comes back with a string like the above.

My code is not supposed to parse those complicated strings of yours.
It is supposed to eliminate "!!!!!!!!!", "??????????" and "~~~~~~~~"...

This should fix the problem, find inside functions_bbcodeparse.php:

PHP Code:


		
			
$searcharray = array("/([!]*)/si", "/([?]*)/si", "/([~]*)/si");

Replace With:

PHP Code:


		
			
$searcharray = array("/([!]+)/si", "/([?]+)/si", "/([~]+)/si");

Save & Upload.

After testing the string:

Quote:

OMG!!!!!!1!!!!!1~~~~~~~~~~1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~?????!!!? ????!!!

The output was:

Quote:

OMG!1!1~1~?!?!

Eliminating all repeating characters (?, ~, !) to a single char. :)

What file(s) should I modify in 3.6.5 to have this work?

Great help on that request. You guys should add that to the Mod Database!

Hahaha. Who is Dark Visor? :p Edit: Oh, that was two years ago? Maybe he had his name changed.. whoops. :o

Anyway.. my question. Is there any way to limit it so that it only starts limiting after so many characters? I think turning ?? into ? is a little too strict.

Perhaps something that turns ?????? into ???

I just realized this thread was started 2 years ago.. but someone bumped it so I might as well ask. :)

Elenna

Sorry, that was me that bumped :) I'm not sure if I'm blind, but I'm not seeing the functions_bbcodeparse file. Has it been renamed or encorporated elsewhere?

I, too, would like for it to limit only after a certain amount, like MilkCarton suggested. Could this work with periods too? I know that ... and .... are gramatically appropriate, but I'd like to shorted ................. to ... .

Off the top of my head, create a new plugin at 'parse_bbcode' or 'bbcode_parse' (forgot which one it is :p) and insert;

PHP Code:


		
			
$searcharray = array("/([!]+)/si", "/([?]+)/si", "/([~]+)/si");
$replacearray = array("!", "?", "~");

$bbcode = preg_replace($searcharray, $replacearray, $bbcode);

TheMilkCarton

03-21-2007 12:51 PM

Thanks Dismounted.. but what about changing '????????' to '???' Is this something that would be too difficult to code? :)

Edit: I couldn't get what you said to work. Although, there were only "bbcode_parse_start" and "bbcode_parse_complete" Unless I didn't see just plain old bbcode_parse

Thanks very much! I'd like to give this a try - but I admit I'm pretty dumb and new with vB. Which file should I edit to add in the code above?

Note 'plugin'. AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Add New Plugin > Pretty self-explanitory from there.

03-22-2007 08:26 AM

Well, I would figure that much, but the code you told me to put into the plugin doesn't work.. at all. :)

I've tried every combo of !!! and ??? and nothing ever changes.

Dismounted

03-22-2007 10:17 AM

The variables have probably changed. I'll have a look.

TheMilkCarton

03-22-2007 11:20 AM

Also, with

Code:

$replacearray = array("!!!", "???", "~~~");

wouldn't it actually turn '!!' into '!!!' , '!!!' would stay the same, and then finally, '!!!!' would change to '!!!' I'd like to do it without lengthening !! or ??

Maybe I'm just misunderstanding the PHP involved.. :) I'm not much of a coder just yet. haha

Dismounted

03-23-2007 09:07 AM

Changing the regex would fix that, but I'm too tired atm :p.

Elenna

03-27-2007 02:22 AM

Any luck finding the correct variables?

Bumping this for more info now that I'm into 3.8.6.

My users still present the issue.

functions_bbcodeparse.php is no longer part of the system.
