I am wondering why the quote code is transformed before it is inserted in the db.
I see the [code][/code]-tags in the db, I see the smilies in the db as [:)] etc, but I see the quotes with their full HTML code in the db.
Can anyone explain me why this decision was made, and (perhaps even more important) how I could change it so that the quote-code is also inserted 'as is' in the db, and transformed into HTML by means of INC_FUNC_COMMON.ASP at the moment the topic is actually loaded ?
It not only saves data ([quote][/quote] is was less bytes then the bloated code that's now inserted in the db), but I also guess it saves speed.
(I load the topic message as keywords meta-tag, and as the keywords tag does not allow html, I need to 'cleancode' it before loading.) |

Erm...if I'm not mistaking the [quote][/quote] tags are almost the only ones that are converted to HTML prior to db inserting.
The code tags are not (at least not in my code....but I cannot remember (intentionally) changing that.

The code tags used to be, but to get them to work correctly I had to change them.
The reason for converting the tags before inserting them into the database, is to decrease processing time when viewing the topics/replies. But, because some features have changed, it has become necessary to have some of them processed when the topics/replies are viewed.
If you want to change all of the tags to be processed when the topics/replies are viewed on your site, it shouldn't be too difficult to do. |

The thing is that I have to process the topic-content anyway, as I stated in my first post.
So, it would be either to process only the topic_message content, or the topic_message content plus the replies...
I guess my current method (as is) is faster than the other one.....
I'll leave it like this. |

| I would say just use FormatStr to process the message, then strip the HTML out of it (you could write a simple function to do that) |
