Templating is only half of it. Users want to modify their behaviour via the ACP.

Also you don't lose anything by having default templates in the ACP and per-style templates in bbcode.html.

The BBCode definitions are stored in the PHP sources but they are no different from custom BBCodes and it would be possible to store them in the database to make them editable.

If anyone wants to do it, here are the relevant sections: (you'd need to create a migration too)

That's a software crash, nothing we can do about it. Try linking PHP against a more recent version of PCRE and be sure to report the error with a good trace/dump at PHP's bug tracker.

I guess you'd probably rerun the migration thing that reparsed them from 3.1 to 3.2.

You can try it out in Flarum's sandbox if you're ...

Don't wanna abuse your help but a point in the right direction on where to look for about the error (Text formatter? phpbb 3.2?...), would be helpful.


The best way would be to post in the 3.2 support forum with the exact definition of your BBCode, what you type in the post editor to test it ...
