HTML-to-FUDcode translation [message #159815]

Hello, I don't know if this is a bug or not.

I notice a problem quoting or editing messages with nested tags.

One example is when an IMG tag is nested within a URL tag. This makes a "clickable image", one that has a URL link. It translates to the proper HTML going into the system, but when extracted (for editing or to be used as a quote), the resulting string contains partial HTML and partial FUDcode. If this mistranslated text isn't modified, it will not display properly when posted.

Here's an example:

(Click the logo to see the FUDforum Features page.)

If this post is quoted on my site (which uses FUDforum 2.8.0), the tags will be scrambled.

Any suggestions?

If I remember correctly, this was fixed in 2.8.1. Please upgrade and let us know if you still have problems.

Hmm, I wonder if I could hand edit in the requisite changes? You wouldn't happen to know where the code is that fixed the translation problem, would you? Maybe I could compare 2.8.0 to 2.8.1 and patch it manually.

I installed that file, but I still get weird translation on quotes or edits. Thanks for telling me where the file is that deals with that though, because now I can look at it and maybe add some new match patterns.

One of the cases that doesn't match is this:

(url=urlpath)(img)imgpath(/img)(/url)(b)(url)text(/url)(/b)

This gets translated into appropriate HTML going in.

Coming out, it looks like this:

(url=urlpath)(img=imgpath)imgpath" />(/url)(b)(url=urlpath)(/img)text</a>(/b)

For sake of discusison, "[" is replaced with "(" and "]" with ")".
