BBcode [code] tags not working

What Dismounted is saying is it's seldom used, so it's probably an unknown bug. You should submit it to the Bug Tracker so it can be fixed, as there's no way to enable by Usergroup.

If you are using the WSYWIG editor, usually you can copy/paste articles and it retains all the formating from the article.

Do they still fix bugs for 3.6?

Even if HTML is disabled?

I don't have html enabled and have copy/pasted articles to my forum using this method. Try it and see. You need to make sure you are using the WSYWIG editor though. Tables won't work, but text formating and links and images will, if I recall correctly.

[Digital Jedi]

Yeah, it will copy images, links, bold, italics, color and sometimes font size. It won't copy special formatting like floating images, iframes, tables, etc, but it copies all the basics. Unless I'm mistaken, it's the WYSIWYG editor that's allowing your members to paste in the articles in the first place.

I guess this makes sense. I've disabled html and that fixed my "code" tags. But now a copy pasted article looks like this. It includes javascript.

Buzz up!








Kathy Rooney was heading east on the Pennsylvania Turnpike Monday when traffic came to a halt near the New Stanton exit.
She immediately thought construction was at the heart of the backlog, until she saw a large, gangly bird loping straight down the center of the highway.
"It was coming towards us, but it was on the white lines," said Rooney, of Mt. Lebanon. "It was like it knew to stay on the white lines. It stayed right down the middle."
story continues below

The turnpike interloper was an emu -- a large, flightless bird native to Australia -- that clogged the turnpike Monday for about two hours and sent state police scrambling to capture it.
"It created a backlog of traffic," said Sgt. Anthony DeLuca at the barracks in New Stanton. "Vehicles almost wrecked into each other, into the bird. We tried to chase it down and tried to catch it."
The bird -- bred for its meat and oil from its fat -- was trapped in traffic lanes surrounded by 5-foot high barriers on each side.
"Once it got in there it got stuck, and it didn't know what to do," DeLuca said

I just copy/pasted that from this link: http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pitt.../s_586162.html and I show no javascript. I would probably take a moment to delete out all that stumbleupon/digg crap though.

Are you users not willing to take a second to do a little bit of 'prettying up' the page before posting it?

This makes me lol.

The members of this particular forum are hardly willing to do anything, except that they are quite content to exspend energy complaining.

Is there a quick place to do some kind of regex replacement like s/<script[\\w]*<\/script>//g that should at least help the majority of these cases. (Can I hook this in a plugin? Edit a .php file? I'd prefer a plugin hook but either way, where would I do this?)

Thanks again for the replies. Sorry for all of the dumb questions.

[Lynne]

I know I use a plugin to do word replacement in posts for my mods. I use the "postbit_display_complete" hook to output the post:

PHP Code:

$this->post['message'] = whatever;
