Fix for replacement code problem in vB Code

[Steve Machol]

I have no idea why you'd get a parse error unless to entered something wrong in the file. Commenting this line out worked fine for me.

hrmm...Well it works normally without commenting it out...So I guess I can leave it like this?

[Steve Machol]

As I said in my first post you only need to do this if you want to use replacement variables in vB Code. If you don't need that function, then you don't need to bother with this.

[Radon3k]

Ah ok, then I'm straight I guess...Nice, thanks!

No probs!

I looked in admin/bbcode.php but changing the numbers to 60 didn't seem enough of a solution.

Yeah you need to run a query tho:

ALTER TABLE bbcode CHANGE bbcodereplacement bbcodereplacement TEXT;

I got almost confused when saw in admin/functions.php of VB 2.2.4, within the
function bbcodeparse2() two lines (with some other between) like these:

PHP Code:

  //$bbcode=str_replace("{", "{", $bbcode);
.
.
.
    $bbcode=str_replace("{", "{", $bbcode); // stop people posting replacements in their posts 


Questions are:
- Has the problem been solved in 2.2.4 with the above splitting or no ?
- Is cutting out the second line still necessary ?
- How could I generate the problem to see if that bugfix is actually needed by my board ?

Thanks a lot, Steve.

The line was moved to the end of the function to stop (I think) problems when posting PHP code. But you still need to comment the second line if you want to be able to use replacement variables in your vB Codes.

Absolutelly exaustive. Thanks a lot.

Hi,

this hack has a disadvantage: text attachments are also parsed.

If you have eg. the following description in it (without spaces)

change in template xxx
{ secondaltcolor}FireFly
to
{ secondaltcolor}Chen

it will be shown as:
change in template xxx
#DFDFDFFireFly
to
#DFDFDFChen
