Have you ever put stuff in code boxes, only to have forum code applied to the contents of the code box? when pasting code into the boxes, often they may have url's or other things that would be acted upon by forum code.
This mod basically makes sure everything in [.code] [/.code] boxes remains exactly intact... forum code will not be parsed inside the tags.
BEGIN MOD [UPDATED FOR BASE CODE INSTALL]
Firstly, add the following variable declaration to config.asp:-
Dim CloakString open inc_func_common.asp and add these two functions (They can go pretty much anywhere.... I put mine at the end of the file):-Function Cloak(fstring)
set re = new RegExp
re.pattern = "\[code\]([\s\S]+?)\[/code\]"
re.ignorecase = true
re.global = true
set matches = re.execute(fstring) ' find matches
if matches.count <> 0 then
for each match in matches
cloakstring = cloakstring & "!£$%^&*()_+" & match.value ' full match including tags
fstring = replace(fstring,match.value,"xxxCODEBOXxxx",1,1)
next
end if
Cloak = fstring
set re = nothing
set matches = nothing
end function
Function DeCloak(Fstring)
cloakarray = split(cloakstring,"!£$%^&*()_+")
for cntr = 1 to ubound(cloakarray)
fstring = replace(fstring,"xxxCODEBOXxxx", cloakarray(cntr),1,1)
next
decloak = fstring
end function Still inside inc_func_common.asp, find the function called formatstr and then, find this line within it:-fString = ReplaceURLs(fString) insert this directly BEFORE that line fstring = Cloak(fstring) 'Remove code tag content to prevent forum code formatting next, find this line a few lines down:-fString = ReplaceCodeTags(fString) and REMOVE IT.
Lastly, find this line at the end of the the function:-FormatStr = fString just BEFORE that line, add these two lines of code:fstring = decloak(fstring) ' put back the code tags and content
fString = ReplaceCodeTags(fString)
Voila!!!
Enjoy! |

basically enter that line before any forum code parsing....
I know my forum has changed a hell of a lot from the base code.
Let me know if you get it going on base code, and what amendments i should make to the instructions above. |

I may have done something wrong (as mine is also heavily modified), but my code box now produces this text:
xxxCODEBOXxxx
I think I am going to actually spend time examining what it is your code does before I apply it again. |

| dayve, I think you may have forgot to add the decloak function call just before the formatstr function ends. |

whooohooo!!! working as a charm!
To get it into the basecode you need to change the step concerning the chkAHREFs(fString) and use line of
if strAllowForumCode = "1" then
Afaik that's in the basecode, just before
fString = ReplaceURLs(fString)
However, it does change the [b][/b] tags into <b></b> ... 
I also had to move the Dim Cloakstring line to config.asp, instead of inc_func_common.asp to get it working for more than 1 minute... After some time it gave me the error 'Name redefined'....

Hi,
This is a great tool as we run comps where the member needs to include a standard image. This way we can give them the code to insert.
I can follow most of it except where to put this bit of code:
Dim CloakString
I know it says in the config.asp file but exactly where? All looks a dangerous for me to be fiddling about in that file. I am using 3.4.05
Tar
