SMF Support > Converting to SMF

Quote tags not recognized

(1/11) > >>

Burpee:
I'm not sure if this should be in converters and importers or in here.

I recently changed from phpBB to SMF.

My problem is that in the majority of the posts on my board the [ quote ] tags are not recognized properly.
When I do however modify the post, it shows the proper [ /quote ] to close it off.
When I save the post then, it suddenly shows the quote properly.

I'm wondering how I could fix this without having to resave 1200 posts. Already looked through the forum maintenance and there is nothing to "repair" this in repair_settings.php either. I have already looked at the MySQL information which is like this:

--- Code: ---[quote="username"]content[quote][/quote]
--- End code ---
Seems okay to me, but I could be mistaken.

No, that's wrong... it should be:

(can't get this to show right!)

But you should be able to run a SQL query to change that throughout your forum if they're all the same.

Peter Duggan:
So are you actually getting the extra quote tag before the closing quote tag or is that just how your post here (like mine) came out despite the code tags? IOW, is it effectively 'open quote, content, open quote, close quote' or 'open quote, content, close quote'?

Burpee:
The resulting effect in the browser is:
[ quote="username" ] content

So the open-quote is not recognized or something, but the close-quote is?

I'll see if I can find what's wrong.

Edit: Fixed for RC1.
