*BBCode bugs

All the bugs I've found so far with the new BBCode system:
- things written in the editor aren't always displayed the same as how they appear once published, e.g. links aren't equiverse green, but something else.
- some code has been redefined, e.g. size=2 was span style="font-size:2em", now it's using the old font tag at size 2 (no units), which is much smaller. This means if you edit a post written before the new system was implemented some of the formatting gets changed, which can muck things up.
- new system isn't present after you press 'preview' while typing up a post, instead old system of buttons, which also doesn't display the new things like tables.
- I sometimes see \r\n come up when I insert code by pressing the buttons, but can't get a consistent idea on when this does or does not happen.
- HTML is now allowed. I've checked JavaScript and that doesn't appear to work. Example:




- Images don't show up properly. There are meant to be five images below. Also, when images are too wide instead of being automatically shrunk as they used to, they are kept at full size and the text area gets a horizontal scrollbar down the bottom.

I have also noticed that center align and right align don't seem to work at the moment.

I have tried selecting text to show up center

>example here<

and right alignment

>example here<

and all shows up as default left align.

The buttons are clickable and when creating a post, they appear properly placed in the post. However, after posting, they all are left align.

^ I didn't realise that. I tested those, but relied on the previewer to show things correctly. I'll test everything now:

bold
italic
underlined
strikethrough
sub_script
super^script
centre
right
justified djhfdshjh hfjhh hfjhgj fhh hfhjkdh fhjh hdfjh hfdjh dhfjkdh hjfh jdh jdfhgjkdfhjkhg hjfh jfdh hdh d kjfh jfh fhjdf hdfkghdf jdfh ghdf ghdjhf jdfh fhjh fhjfhkjdh dhfjghfj hgkdh kjfh hjkfh shs jkshfkg fhkdhlg fkslh fhgslh fkjhgkjhkjsfhjk hfhksjhf jkfh hfjhf jkfhgkjsh jkfhgkjhsfk hfsdjhg shfhskjh jfhg ksj.

code text

my table got nudged a long way from my last line of text

^Conclusions:
Centre, right and justified alignment doesn't work because they're placed in span tags, not p tags. Large amounts of br tags are being added around tables and lists for some unknown reason, and all my links just got outright deleted.

Thanks for posting this:

• Text alignments should now work


• Links should now work


• Tables and lists will unfortunately be affected by the automatic spacing that posts get - it can be fixed in the source code by just removing all the new lines but makes code very ugly


• HTML should no longer be allowed


• There will be some discrepancy between the editing box and final post until I update the CSS within the editing box, it unfortunately uses an iframe so doesn't automatically inherit EV's CSS


• Images should now auto-resize as they did previously

Just jumping onto this thread - the Mustang Club layout is completely decimated by this update, is there a way it can be fixed? I'm not much of a coder, so I'm not sure how to fix it myself. Is HTML not allowed at all, even on Club pages?

Thanks!

^ I saw this mentioned elsewhere, and I think the bug has been fixed, but you need to update the page. Just go to 'manage club' and click 'update layout' without changing anything, then see if that fixes it. Can you report back on whether or not that helps?

these no longer work.

also, [*size=X]text[/size] was converted to <*span style="font-size:Xem;">text</span> under the old system and is now converted to <*font size="X">text</font>. This needs to go back to the old version as these two systems give two completely different sizes, and also the font tag is outdated and no longer supported in HTML5.

Thank you! The first fix you suggested did not work. It basically appears that all the scroll boxes have disappeared even though I didn't change anything in the coding. So the text that would be contained within them is just all over the page.

Clickable images don't seem to be working for me. They show up as a broken image.

Also when I go to edit posts it shows the clickable image as this-

and then when I click the preview button, I get this-

basically anytime I click preview, I get bugs in the text.

@Rampage
I've figured out the issue. There's another bug which essentially means the editor interprets new lines in a weird way, which causes style sheets to break. As a temporary fix go to your club layout, copy and paste the entire thing into a text file so you have a backup, then do the following:
1. Look for the <*style> <*/style> tags
2. Within these, find all the code with curly braces, which is probably of the form:
.something {
 stuff;
 more stuff;
}
3. Change it to this form:
.something {stuff; more stuff;}
4. Essentially you're just removing all the new lines from within the curly braces. I'm pretty sure this will fix things. Let me know how it goes.

Just testing to see if bugs are resolved yet...

^ Conclusion: Tags of the form [horse=X], [member=X], or [*img=URL] still do not work. Text sizes are still wonky. Normal size was 1 under previous system. Under the new system normal size is 2, so any old posts that are edited end up with sizes changed a lot.

Symbols like " and & aren't handled well. Typing this into a new post is generally ok, but if I edit it I'll find they've been replaced with &quot; or &amp; etc.
