AyKay47 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 hey guys, want to comment on something that I have noticed recently.. When I copy paste a users code, it spans it across the entire text box, when before it was more of an nl2br() effect.. where if the user has newlines in there code, it would create a newline when i pasted the code.. however now it does not..? thanks..

.josh Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 well, we haven't made any changes to the forum software, haven't done any software upgrade since v2 RC5 a couple months ago, nor have we added any mods in a couple months soo...if this is something "new" then you changed something on your end. Different browser/OS (version)? Also, screenshots help. Also...you should be reporting this on the SMF community board...even if it is a bug, we don't make the SMF software!

Maq Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Can you show an example? What tags are you copying from (php or code or none)? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/244928-text-not-pasting-correctly/#findComment-1258162 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at work so I will make a quick example.. say someone has this code.. print "test"; print "test"; print "test"; print "test"; now before, I would copy this and paste it between php tags and it would paste just like that.. with newlines.. however now I find that it is doing this.. print "test"; print "test"; print "test"; print "test"; CV I will let SMF know as well.. Edit: not a huge deal with short amounts of code.. however quite a pain with large amounts..

Adam Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Where are you pasting it to? If the code was written in 'Unix format', only "\n" as the new line character, and you paste into a Windows format editor, "\n\r" as new line, then the text will appear all on one line as Windows doesnt recognise it as a proper new line. This is also why you see an extra line between code when written in Windows format and pasted into a Unix format editor. Should be able to configure it within your editor's options.

Maq Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Copied from the example you gave: PHP tags: print "test"; print "test"; print "test"; print "test"; Code tags: print "test"; print "test"; print "test"; print "test"; Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/244928-text-not-pasting-correctly/#findComment-1258592 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyKay47 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 yeah, I have noticed that it pastes it correctly for me about 70% of the time.. not sure why the 30% is happening Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/244928-text-not-pasting-correctly/#findComment-1258614 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 yeah, I have noticed that it pastes it correctly for me about 70% of the time.. not sure why the 30% is happening So it's intermittent? Regardless, it's still an SMF bug. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/244928-text-not-pasting-correctly/#findComment-1258616 Share on other sites More sharing options...
