How is the flash bbcode suppose to work?

[james_isaac]

Is there something I can change to stop <!-- m --> being put around every URL in a post? It's messing up image and flash tags on my test forum, because if I post this:

Code: Select all

[swf=200,300]http://adventonegraphics.com/flash/BigRedButton.swf[/swf]

it converts that link into this (the unimportant parts of the code have been cut out):

Code: Select all

<param name="movie" value="<!-- m --><a href="http://adventonegraphics.com/flash/BigRedButton.swf" target="_blank">http://adventonegraphics.com/flash/BigRedButton.swf</a><!-- m -->">

Is there anything I can change to fix this?

Sorry... I thought it was a problem specifically to do with my board, seeing as flash works on these test forums.

It's a problem with IMG and FLASH tags.
It is a new CVS problem (yesterday's snapshot), but it should be fixed within the next few days.

Ok, well, it is possible to fix the image tag problem with a custom BB code tag created in the admin... with the tag

Code: Select all

[image={URL}]{TEXT}[/image]

and the html replacement

Code: Select all

<img src="{URL}" alt="{TEXT}" />

However, I tried something similar for a custom flash tag and it didn't work.

I'm not that hard-up.

I'll wait until they get it back in the CVS.

Remember, you have 19 custom BBCodes to work with.
If you deleted any, you might need to go into the database and set the counts starting at 13+ so that you still have room for more.
