[*] MyBB tag by Choli on 05-17-2004 at 02:48 PM

The [*] tag used to work outside the [list] ... [/list] tags, but now it doesn't and nothing is shown in its place. It still works inside [list] ... [/list] tags, but I find it useful using it everywhere

Example:

code:

bla1
bla1
[*]bla2
[*]bla2
[list][*]bla3
[*]bla3[/list]

bla1
bla1
[*]bla2
[*]bla2

bla3
bla3

Before, the bla2's had the same format as the bla3's but where totally left aligned, like bla1's. :rolleyes:

Edit: Well, the question is: why had that beeen changed? or, will it be like it was before?

RE: [*] MyBB tag by Kryptonate on 05-17-2004 at 03:14 PM

Normally

code:

[*]bla
just gives
"[*]bla"

unless it's in a [ list ]. Why has it been changed on this forum in the first place? :-/

What? "[*]" is parsed anywhere in a post in every version of MyBB before RC2. RC2 has new quoting and list parsing code, but I didn't use it here because it was quite buggy... :dodgy:

Nothing has been changed; WTF are you talking about?

[*] -> <li>

RE: [*] MyBB tag by GiantSpider on 05-17-2004 at 03:30 PM

if you do the before
[*]blah

[*]blah

it fucks up on some browsers.

But if you do
[list][*]blah[/list]

blah

It works on all.

IMO, it's the poster who fucked up, not using the tags properly. (a)

Yeah... RC2... like I said, I didn't use that new code here.

It appears in both ways, with and without bullet. When it appears it overpass the table limits... :-/

ok ok, sorry

It seems that always I've used the [*] tag I was reading the forums at home with IE (well, avant), but today with Netscape 7 at the Uni I saw that a post I'd just made was as the right image of
[Image: attachment.php?pid=244734]

where you don't see, before bla2, the "big point" that is before bla3.

It's not a bug in Firefox, <li>s are not supposed to be used alone, they must be enclosed between <ul> or <ol>s.

The BB should just not parse them :dodgy:

or replace them just for the [*] character

The user should just not post them outside of list tags. :rolleyes:

As long as there's no security holes or major bugs, I don't care about it... I don't think the board software should "take responsibility" for a poster's problem. :-/

The current parser is quite simple (and therefore quite fast)... in most cases, it parses the entire body of the message, and so the [li] tags are replaced the same way everywhere in the message. I hate making the whole thing more complex just to prevent one little glitch that's the user's fault.

End rant.

me too

if you write

code:
[*]bla

mybb changes that by

code:
<li>bla

and that in some browsers (outside the <ul> and <ol> tags (ie: [list], [list=1] and [list=a] mybb tags)) isn't displayed with the " · "[/list=1]
