Cannot parse if function in Custom BBCode's Replacement
 

Hi all,

Ok, here's the problem, I wanna make some conditions within the new bbcode I made so I added <if condition...blah blah in the Replacement box in the Add New BB Code and submitted it. But when I turned out and checked it, only the other html elements worked, but if. Ie. I put <if condition="2 < 1">Yeah, 1 is greater than 2<else />Nop 2 is still greater</if> in the Replacement and the text came out as "Yeah, 1 is greater than 2 Nop 2 is still greater" :speechless:. Any replies would be appreciated. Thanks

the if conditions are handled in the template parser, which is run while saving a new template.

if you want to be able to run conditions in bbcode as well, you have to modify the parse_bbcode2 function

I tried to disable and remove the REMOVE HTML CODES section in parse_bbcode2 functions but the weird thing still came up, can you be more specific about what to modify, that would be great Xenon, thanks.

not really

i mean it's not a one liner, you would have to add an if condition parser into the bbcode parsing function...

Hmmm, I thought if condition is a html function and it gotta be trimmed somewhere because all the other html functions work but if? :/ So actually what do I need to modify/add? Can you help me out Xenon?

nope, the if function is written by the developers into the template parser.

it just looks like a normal html code, but it isn't ;)

i'd say to take a look at logicians conditional hacks, to see the general way of how such things are coded

Hmmm, I've looked at the dynamic annoucement by him and I'd say he just tried to find the if conditional in the text message and then parse it through parse_bbcode2, the point is $dohtml is to 1 in his function, then is that the one I'm looking for? As normal, text message's bbcode is parse through parse_bbcode and then it transfers itself to parse_bbcode2, but I have no idea where $dohtml is defined? Is it a constant or something?

Better yet, look at any code dealing with the quote function and copy if for the new tag. Then just make a template.

@Link14716 - I did, make it all the way like the QUOTE bbcode with function and tag...but when I put it up in the forum, try to open a post with the tag and nothing parse, the tag was just as I typed in. :\
