Shoutbox

When i quote a smilie for example it will just give me (Smilie) as quoted text instead of the actual code for the smilie. It just to work perfect in the past. WDZ ?

Example in this message: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=54...d=587174#pid587174

EDIT: Just noticed that it only goes wrong when you select a part of the message that you want to quote and then press QuickQuote. It's fine when don't select anything and just QuickQuote the entire message. But quickquoting a part of the message used to be fine in the past too, what changed?

it works in quotes, the only time you get "(Smilie)" is if you copy some text with a smilie in it as "(Smilie)" is the alt text for all smilies.

edit: was typing during your edit

Imo the older one was good. Tho it wasnt totally xhtml compliant. Bah

Atfirst it gave me problems but then it became ok (random ones .... not related to the text showing up)

I was wondering it the alt for every image could have the smiley code for it. Then when the quick quote is posted ...... voila .... emotes again

I wish, but that's difficult to implement.

The problem is that after one smilie is replaced, subsequent replaces might mess with the alt code. For example...

:dodgy:

gets replaced with...

<img src="dodgy.gif" alt=":dodgy:">

:dodgy: contains :d so now :d will be replaced...

<img src="dodgy.gif" alt="<img src="msn_grin.gif" alt=":d">odgy:">

It may be possible to overcome this issue by converting the alt codes to pure HTML entities... I'll have to think about it...

But why did it stop working in the first place? Like John Anderton said:"wasnt totally xhtml compliant"? I rather have a bit of incompliant code back that works fine than this dodgy (Smilie) thing .

could you use regexps to only parse text that isn't inside an <img> tag?

Dz using someone else's script ..... id like to see that day (i heard he never does that )

If it was the only piece of code to make this forum not validate, ok. But... MyBB is full of incompliant code anyway .

I don't think so, unless all the <img> tags were actually stripped out then replaced afterwards, and that would be a crappy/inefficient way to do it.

It's the only thing that makes the shoutbox not validate.
