HTML problem!

XenocideXenocide
edited November 2006 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
Currently I'm using http://lussumo.com/addons/?PostBackAction=AddOn&AddOnID=33 HTML Formatter 1.7 to allow people to format their text on my forums. However, if someone doesn't close a tag, for example a font or bold tag, the next post will appear bolded and the text will be red. What is the way around this?

    make sure the POLICE_TAGS option in the extension file is set to 1

    Apparently it is...:

    define('HTML_POLICE_TAGS', 1);

    Yup, that's the default, works very well, I tried to break it.

    I got the same problem. The POLICE_TAGS is set to 1 but the tags aren't closed when someone forgets it.
    I tried it in Safari and FireFox on the Mac, could it be a mac textformatparsing issue?

    Ah, I see what the problem is. It seems that functionality dosn't work properly with php4. Give me a tiny bit...
  • NickENickE New
    ...it was weird problem php4 has with editing class variables. Try it now, should work.
  • AresAres

    That's odd, it works with my php 4.4.1... Now does it do anything? What html were you using to test it?
  • AresAres
    Nope, 1.7.2 doesn't close tags either.

    I used the following test tags:

    <strong> and <em>

    But like I wrote above, could it be a mac textformat parsing issue or something? I'm gonna test it soon on my slowish VirtualPC WinXP.
  • AresAres
    Tested it on WinXP's Explorer 6 and it also won't close tags...
  • NickENickE New
    I can't seem to replicate this bug on my machine. There aren't any php errors (in a log file, perhaps)?

    And it wouldn't be the browser, the problem lays in the closing of the tags, not the parsing of them.

    On wich location could I find those?

    I installed a testversion of Vanilla on my webserver (instead of my local mac) and it still doesn't close tags... The webserver is unix with php 4.4.2-0.dotdeb.1
    I checked it with only the Html Formatter 1.7.2 extension active.
  • AresAres
    Aha, the closing tags are added in the html-source, not in the (database) comment itself. That solves it!
