PHPBB3-14527 Dataloss caused by link shortening (maybe)

[Joe User]

Original mailinglist source from which i copy+pasted the text to the forum:
https://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi ... nounce+raw

[Joe User]

This line from the FTP section got already broken by 3.1:

Code: Select all

     * ftp://ftp.<your_country_code>.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD

[Joe User]

Sorry for the spamming:
Are subjects, signatures, forumrules, forumdescriptions, contactpage, etc. using the same functions and are therefor also bitten by this bug?

[CHItA]

Did you reverted your database and files to the previous version? If so, answering your question gets a bit more complicated, as it would be hard to tell what the bug is.

[Joe User]

No, i'm on currently on 3.2.0 and since it's a production install i'm (currently) not planning to go back (3.1 is not compatible with PHP7).

[Joe User]

Got another one, which might be a different bug:
My signature at my forum has links in it since years, today i checked it for this bug and found an issue on editing the signature.
Under UCP->Profile->Edit signature in the preview and in the textbox i got this (phpBB 3.2):

Code: Select all

[url=https://www.rootservice.org/howtos/general/getting_started.html]Ist ein dedizierter Server das Richtige für mich?[/url] ¤ [url=https://www.rootservice.org/howtos/security/server_hacked.html]Vorgehensweise bei gehacktem Server[/url]
[url=https://www.rootservice.org/howtos/freebsd/remote_install.html]FreeBSD Remote Installation[/url] ¤ [url=https://www.paypal.me/JoeUser/20]PayPal.Me/JoeUser[/url]

Instead of this (phpBB 3.1):

Code: Select all

[url=https://www.rootservice.org/howtos/general/getting_started.html]Ist ein dedizierter Server das Richtige für mich?[/url] ¤ [url=https://www.rootservice.org/howtos/security/server_hacked.html]Vorgehensweise bei gehacktem Server[/url]
[url=https://www.rootservice.org/howtos/freebsd/remote_install.html]FreeBSD Remote Installation[/url] ¤ [url=https://www.paypal.me/JoeUser/20]PayPal.Me/JoeUser[/url]

So it breaks the punctations in the urls.

I'm looking today for more such cases.

EDIT: Same in ACP->User and Groups->Manage Users->Joe User->Signature

Would you mind opening a new topic and/or ticket for them please? Since they're not related to this ticket it will be easier to track.

Done: https://tracker.phpbb.com/browse/PHPBB3-14509

Any progress?

This needs to be fixed more quickly since i'm not the only one bitten by this and stuck on PHP7 and therefor forced to use 3.2 in production.

Since there is no progress: https://tracker.phpbb.com/browse/PHPBB3-14527

@Devs: Stop implementing new features and fix this nasty showstopping bug first.
