[SOLVED] Possible bbcode bug

[kickstart]

Hi

 

Possible bug in the bbcode parsing for this site.

 

I was trying to highlight a section of code when explaining something. Basically trying to highlight an array index in red:-

 

$SomeArray[1]

 

to

 

$SomeArray[1]

 

The above works fine.

 

However if it is index 0 then it doesn't

 

$SomeArray[0]

 

to

 

$SomeArray[color=red][0][/color]

 

which gives:-

 

$SomeArray[0]

 

All the best

Yeah, that's a known "bug" in SMF. Technically speaking it isn't a bug though. It's because [0] is a bbcode representing a list item. One might of course argue that it shouldn't be interpreted as that without being inside

• tags.

Hi

 

Ah, thanks. That explains it.

 

One for me to remember in the future

 

All the best

Yeah, good ole SMF

 

Just a note though, a work around is using [nobbc][/nobbc] tags (which adds a lot of extra typing)

 

So,

$SomeArray[color=red][nobbc][0][/nobbc][/color]

turns into

$SomeArray[0]

Hi

 

Brilliant. Not seen that code before.

 

Thanks
