That image is freaky.

Allow me a little question: Everything seems to work fine now, so whats next?
If you have some free time now left and don't know what to do with it, then I would have some great new ideas I think for new projects perhaps if you are interested, some of them are also supported by a bit money. You can let me know about your time with a quick pm if you want.

Has anyone tested usernotes, PMs, or calendar events? Unfortunately these are barely used on my site so I have nothing existing to compare.

Usernotes work.
Profile fields in the postbits for PMs don't parse.
Custom Permissions for PMs are ignored, except on preview.

Ah okay, didn't see it sorry:

Visitor Messages:

The following errors occurred when this message was submitted

1. BB code yt is not allowed.


Were you going to add the possibility of using custom bb-code to the visitor messages?

[thincom2000]

Tell me more about this yt BB-Code. Is it created by a plugin? Have you added it to the BB-Code Manager in the AdminCP?

As a general rule, all plugin BB-Codes should also be added to the BB-Code Manager, so that proper editor toolbar buttons can be generated. In the case of permissions that modify the tag list (such as VMs), it is important that all custom tags be accessible by append_custom_tags().

Since I cannot reproduce your issue, this is the only thing I can think of at the moment, unless you forgot to check allow overwrite when upgrading the product.

I also have yet to test Announcements or signatures, but according to the current code I doubt sigs should have any issues. I also noticed that forum rules for everything other than posts are incorrect.

[nerofix]

yt is a custom bb-code by me, and I got a lot other custom bb-codes too, always I get this error message. As far as I can see, all vb standard bb-codes works well.

it is important that all custom tags be accessible by append_custom_tags().

I'm not really sure what you mean with that. I've added my custom bb-codes in the bb-code manager and they works everywhere in profile (about me) or in other forum areas. Only in visitor messages I get this error. Did I miss something? Would be strange if you can't reproduce it, posting custom bb-codes to the visitor messages without getting this error.

Okay, maybe I got 1 hint: My custom bb-codes are embedding flash-objects (swf). Perhaps there's a rule somewhere in VB left to disallow flash in VM's ?

Check to make sure that the plugin at hook location visitor_messagebit_display_start called "VM Rebuild Tags" exists and is enabled.

I can't find this part. Not sure if it doesnt exists or if I'm looking at a wrong place. How do I get there, to the hook location visitor_messagebit_display_start ?


Should it be here: ??

You are missing a number of plugins. It appears that your current version is 2.0.1. Please re-install the product for 2.0.2 and be sure to check "Allow Overwrite."

Okay, sorry my fault, seems that I just re-imported an old copy of the 2.0.1 xml for testing yesterday, now I'm back on 2.0.2 and I got the hook location displayed and it's enabled, but I still get the "not allowed" error in VMs.

I'm irritated in the way, that my custom bb-code (yt) or other bb-codes works in the "about me" block without problems, and yes in forumpostings too. Something still wont let me allow to use it in VM's.

I really have no clue. All standard bb-codes works in visitor messages (+ IMG), only custom bb not.

Edit: It has nothing to do with embedding flash-objects with bb-code, but another hint: Could it be the Project-Tools? ( bitfield_ces_parser_perms.xml.new ) .. Did you update it too in your 2.0.2 version?
