I am working on a widget.
The widget is based on several examples on the net that render a slideshow for articles.
The widget works like this site:
http://demo.webdeveloperplus.com/fea...ontent-slider/
The problem I have is reading the data from the database. I am turning all parsing to false (no bbcode) but it leaves things like in the output.
If I render the HTML or BBCode, my output is uncontrollable - especially for the cut off where the cutoff could happen in the middle of a tag and cause errors.
Is there a method to remove the [ATTACH] [HTML] [IMG] tags when they are not rendered as BBCode? I was thinking kind along the lines as the email output and/or archive output.
Oh and any improvements to the code I would be gratefull!
PHP Code:
