BBCodeParser 1.0.4

by Luke Scammell aka [-Stash-]

Dependencies

  1. PEAR needs to be enabled on your server – ask your host.

Tired of waiting for BetterBBCode to get better? Then give this a go. It works well with the BBInsertBar and Quicktags and has even greater formatting flexibility, supporting most BBCode.

This extension uses Seth Price's version of the most up to date PHP PEAR HTML_BBCodeParser which fixes many of the official bugs listed on the official site. This includes several security fixes over the version used in BetterBBCode.

Known extension bugs

! Preview Post double spaces all lines, but the actual output doesn't.

To do

+ Create Video filter to include other video sites such as Google, MSN SoapBox, Metacafe et al and move the ugly hack for YouTube to there to make it nice and smart. No point in doing this any more - just get JQMedia installed!
+ Add options screen to make the tags configurable, ie. arbitarily disable any BBCode tags you dislike. Initially, this could work broadly by disabling whole filters.
+ Autolink IP address such as http://66.102.9.104/ - currently you have to manually wrap a [url][/url] tag around it.

History

1.0.4 Released 2007-06-28

+ Improved how the settings are written to the extensions/settings.php file, ensuring it doesn't happen on every page view. Thanks to little_peet for pointing this out!

1.0.3 Released 2007-06-27

! Fixed support for nested [color] tags, thanks for spotting this grant.
+ Added support for JQSpoiler by adding the [spoiler] tag. It simply creates a <span class="spoiler"></span> tag, so if you don't have JQSpoiler installed, it shouldn't break anything!
+ Added support for the [del] tag. Same functionality as [s], just gives you another option.
+ Added option to force BBCode as the only format and to hide the formatter, change the "1" to a "0" on line 46 of default.php. Thanks Dinoboff.

1.0.2 Released 2007-03-20

! Managed to lose the [youtube] tag, back in now.

1.0.1 Released 2007-03-17

! Nested quotes fixed.
! Some problems with nested quotes, should be fixed.
! Improved semantic meaning to HTML rendering of [ulist=circle], [ulist=disc] and [ulist=square]
+ Support for new block text tags: [left], [center], [right], [justify]
+ Added support for autolinking of plain FTP links: ftp.example.com

Thanks to Seth price for several fixes and lots of guidance.

1.0.0 Released 2007-01-02

+ Original release.
