Jaggi Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Why hasn't ips added a php bbcode formatting option and is it a conspiracy? :P. Before you say theres no use, this forum and ipsbeyond ALONE show that it is horrendously needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digi Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 If they do that...then they have to add bbcode for every other code syntax and highlight. I'd wait for a revision that allows php parsing of text. This will allow users to expand it as necessary to do something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggi Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 well they added sql it just seems the natural addition is php. I'm not asking for other languages but your point of adding support for all code version however valid is irrelevant as the simple argument is ipb is coded in php/sql about 99% so it supports those two language parsing.

Digi Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Actually, SQL is from back when they HAD php syntaxing by default. It was removed and, because SQL caused no issues I assume, SQL stayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 ....they HAD php syntaxing by default.....when ? :blink: I've been here since the beginning and I honestly don't rememeber that ever being available.I've always wondered about this myself, because compared to the SQL and HTML highlighting it is much easier as PHP itself provides a function to actually do this highlight_string() granted the HTML isn't as clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digi Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I was pretty sure that it was available for a very short time, perhaps in a beta or pf release, but was removed. I could be wrong though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mert Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 when ? :blink: I've been here since the beginning and I honestly don't rememeber that ever being available.As far as I remember, they were in IPB 1.x series :) (except 1.3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digi Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 See, that's what I thought. I was pretty sure it emerged in 1.1.2 and left in 1.3 :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggi Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 thats nice... BUT why isn't it in anymore expecially with that hightlight_syntax() function which looks pretty solid. where bfarber when we want some IPS feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digi Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Actually, I believe it actually used highlight back then. The issue with highlight is that it isn't always configured (the colors in php.ini) and the output is not very...nice to look at (the actual code to accomplish it in html), I also think that it doesn't validate completely. Of course, if it was highlight_syntax, it has been awhile since it was checked in to. I still think it is better suited as a modification for now and left to the bbcode reformat later (one that will allow php parsing of incoming data).

Jaggi Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 yea looked at it and it does need a little tidying up for example all spaces are replaced with $nbsp; which is a bit of mess but can all be sorted out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange_Will Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 If they add My suggestion we can have format for WHATEVER we want, so really expect to download IPB and a pack of useful BBCode upgrade packages. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggi Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 yea i voted for ya idea too strange_will. thats MIGHT come out in 3.0 tho which is a way off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggi Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 just an extra thought is that they have html tagging so why would php be any harder? in fact it would be easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
