PHPBB2 Forum quotes problem

[ANGELUS]

I cant for the life of me sort it, anyone any good with PHPBB2 forums?

 

Its a problem thats appeared where you click the quote button to respond to someone's post and it comes up with this for example-

 

ie:

And then the response [/quote)

 

But it shows in people's posts.... its Sooooo annoying.

A blankety blank cheque book and pen to anyone that can tell me how to sort it for me.. pretty please with a cherry on top

[sccsux]

ie:

And then the response [/quote)

 

Is the closing bracket correct (ie a ")" and not a "]")?

 

If it is supposed to be a "]" then it looks like the problem could be within the actual php scripting/parser class. Have you installed any "mods" for the board (these can (occasionally) cause these kinds of probs).

 

Without actually seeing the code, I can't help (I no longer use phpBB as it is far too vulnerable) SMF is nice though:thumbsup:.

 

If need be I'll grab a copy of phpBB and have a look to see if I can help:).

That closing bracket was a ] mate but I had to change it on here to stop it quoting me

 

I didnt have any mods installed on the forum but its still doing it which is weird- even after patching the files to the new .21 files as well for PHPBB2

You have opened two quotes but only closed one on the example you have given.

[sccsux]

Have a look in the "bbcode.php" file in the includes directory.

 

Look around line 154 (original version should read) for:

 

// for posting replies with quote, or just for quoting stuff for posting replies with quote, or just for quoting stuff

 

and make sure the following lines are :

 

$text = str_replace("[quote:$uid]", $bbcode_tpl['quote_open'], $text);
$text = str_replace("[/quote:$uid]", $bbcode_tpl['quote_close'], $text);

 

You could also check the bbcode template file (templates\whatevertemplate\bbcode.tpl) and check the close quote part of it?

[ANGELUS]

It comes out like this on my forum hun

*

Im always nice and everyone runs off so why bother!

*

 

But without the *'s ... but it actually posts the whole thing- and dosent bring up the normal quote box like it does on here

Sorted the bbcode.php part- it was the same..

As you say you've applied a patch, could I ask you if this problem manifested itself after the patch was applied, or was it occuring before the patch?

[ANGELUS]

it was before the patch mate

[sccsux]

it was before the patch mate

 

Right:thumbsup:

 

What I'd do is.....

 

 

DL the entire forum (you'll need this later).

 

DL and unzip the lastest version of phpBB.

 

Copy the unzipped files to the server.

Delete the install directory from the server.

 

Copy the config files to the server.

Copy you templates to the server.

 

See if it works:)?
