Re: Suspecting beta release very very soon!
Number of review later bugs grows very fast. This means that devs want to release beta1 very very soon! Maybe this week

I'm not familiar with any great legal battle over COPPA, but what does it have to do with search engine data?Pharaoh Atem wrote: But COPPA has also been shot down by court, but almost immediately, it was appealed...
That is why the mess with getting search engine data was going on, because the US Government is trying to uphold COPPA

COPA (Child Online Protection Act) was declared unconstitutional as it placed limits on what adults could view. COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) has never been challenged in court.NNO-Stephen wrote: actually, COPPA is not required at all in the US. it was shot down quite some time ago.
You can never go home again... but I guess you can shop there.

Re: Suspecting beta release very very soon!
I just had a thought regarding this issue... (sorry to morph the topic from COPPA back to BBCode), I thought if you could do a new BBCode: [html][/html] for example, to allow you to input HTML inside the tags.Lieutenant Clone wrote: Sure he should, but he doesnt want to. He wants to use HTML for this situation, therefor not including or using the BBCode class. I can imagine why he would want to use HTML, </snip>
I tried this, however, I got this output:
Code: Select all
<div>Hello World!</div>
Code: Select all
Hello World!
Code: Select all
<div>Hello Word!</div>
Or does anybody have any other ideas?

Re: Suspecting beta release very very soon!
are you volunteering to do it for us? If not, care to enlighten me in how to use the BBCode parser in Olympus so that I can pass it on to our coder?SHS` wrote:Am I talking to a brick wall or something? I'm fully aware he's wanting to use HTML, for the fact it's a cheap hack in being able to pull posts from the phpBB posts table and have it displayed elsewhere.Lieutenant Clone wrote: But hes talking about NOT including the BBCode class, and instead using HTML.
However, having HTML enabled is like having unprotected sex... yes you could, though really not a smart thing to do.
Thus, one should pull one's finger out when retrieving posts for external use... include the BBCode class in the relevant places and add the required BBCode to replace the RAW HTML previously used.
Compris?
Also I don't think it's very nice to be insulting the users for questioning the removal of a feature that some depend on currently regardless of wether or not you agree with it. I expected a bit more professionalism from you, I suppose I'll have to lower my expectations in the future

Re: Suspecting beta release very very soon!
Well, I think the fact that COPPA is disabled by default (as far as I saw) in phpBB3 is a wonderful thing - I'm nowhere near perfect enough to set up permissions for those registered users as well as the COPPA users...
Also, I'm quite happy with the results of LEW21's signature and how the phpBB3 Beta release is nearby! Woot!

It's obviously not possible without a mod, but it would be incredibly insecure (wan't my demonstration of what I could do with a simple <hr> tag not enough? ).Highway of Life wrote: So the question is: Is it possible to somehow get the engine to parse the < > in the {TEXT} token?

Re: Suspecting beta release very very soon!
LOL... I still fail to see why anyone would want to use HTML... BB Code is flexible enough to run as a forum!

I understood that.
But if you want to be able to post in a private forum, and pull information as was suggested in the post I quoted, if you could parse HTML using a BBCode, then it would make that easy.
Of course, I know of a handful of other ways of doing that, but still. The fact that the feature no longer exists in phpBB3.0 does suck for those that used it in 2.
For instance, I tried using BBCode with <div> tags, but you can't layer them as you can in HTML.
Try it, create a BBCode that creates a <div></div> tag, and try doing this sort of thing.
<div attribute="value">Text<div attribute="value">More Text</div></div>
It's not possible in BBCode.
But it is possible in HTML

I think it should work though, so I reported this
