Page for each SSI news article

[mark7144]

Thanks a lot

When I eventually move to SMF2 in the future, can the hacks you have done in this thread be easily modified to work with SMF2?

[onepiece]

Actually, I forgot that it was SMF 1.1 you use and the last bits I gave was for SMF 2.0.

The mod I linked does not support SMF 2.0 and that was the reason why I hoped you had 1.1. But all codes I gave except the last post should work with both versions of SMF.

[mark7144]

Sorry for not understanding.. so the actual hack of looking at an SSI article on a non-forum page will not work with SMF2?

[onepiece]

Sorry, was in a hurry and made another typo. I've edited my post above.

This mod does not support SMF 2.0. Other codes I provided will work with both versions of SMF, but you still will be needing a few changes. So if you can find a similar mod or code your own query, you can easily achieve the same in SMF 2.0 version.

[mark7144]

OK thanks, maybe when that times come I will offer money to an SMF coder to change what you have done to SMF2

hey after that can you share it with us!?

[mark7144]

Sure but I haven't changed to SMF2 yet, could be a while.

Sure but I haven't changed to SMF2 yet, could be a while.

OK, but I have write my own too! But may be it's not so comfortable to all off you( I'm not a good coder!)
Demo:

If you want this code I can share for all of you!

[mark7144]

Can someone help me fix this code a little... basically everything is fine but the comments that show below the news articles, they don't detect when a poster has used a line break. So everything is squashed together.

[mark7144]

Does anyone know why the comments do not recognise line breaks?

Good example here, everything is just one big chunk of text when it should be broken up: http://www.murraysworld.com/news/article/14777/

[Arantor]

So what code are you using now to get the comments?

More specifically, are you calling something to strip the BBcode/HTML from it before displaying it?

Hmm.

ssi_topic is not a standard SMF SSI function. Please can you post that function too?

Ah, yes, I see the problem.

The 'get all the replies' bit removes the line breaks.

Do you want users to be able to use BBcode in their posts?

[mark7144]

I don't think there is a problem with them using BBcode but I don't want the emoticon graphics. Ideally I would want just the text version of the emotions like below,

:) :D ;)

Currently the emoticons are disabled completely for SSI which is a shame but at least avoids the graphics.

[Arantor]

In ssi_topic, find:

Code Select Expand

$row['body'] = parse_bbc(strip_tags($row['body']), $row['smileysEnabled'], $row['ID_MSG']);

Replace with:

Code Select Expand

$row['body'] = parse_bbc($row['body'], false);

[mark7144]

Thanks but line breaks still do not show and graphic emoticons are now showing?

I'd rather have no emoticons than graphic emoticons but ideally would want just the text versions.

[Arantor]

Do you have a modified parse_bbc function, then? The false is supposed to stop parse_bbc handling smileys at all.

As for the lack of line break, I'm confused then since the line breaks should have been removed by the strip-tags function.

[mark7144]

My most important issue by far is the lack of line breaks... the comments can look horrible because if someone writes a couple 100-200 words, it will be all squashed together with no line breaks which makes it very hard to read.
