Proposed word filter
on:
March 08, 2007, 03:29:52 am
I've worked with simple forum software before, and i should hope that simple machine forums have similar options.
It would be a treat if we had a 'word' filter
for
Code:
[Select]
"[img]"
"[/img]"
which would change any instance of that string
to just regular
Code:
[Select]
"[img]"
"[/img]"
image tags
The only place i can see this being a problem, would be if people wanted their signature image to link to a personal profile
As for benefits, no more needing to tell people about imageshack links
because
Code:
[Select]
[img]http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/1246/walkbest3lr6.gif[/img]
would become
Code:
[Select]
[img]http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/1246/walkbest3lr6.gif[/img]
What are your thoughts on the matter?

people linking in the signature shouldn't be using the img tags anyway. they should be using the nozoom tags. i think. if i remember rightly. which would solve that problem.

It sounds like a nice idea. But somehow the existance of the nozoom tags should be announced, I guess.

oh i just thought of something. any link on an image that wasn't imageshack would not be removed but the /url tag would be removed creating a link through the rest of the post. i think? maybe i'll test it...
this is a test of the image with a hyperlink and no closing url tag.
EDIT: RESULTS IN: well there you go. it would work, it'd just look sorta ugly. but we could live with that.

...my signature doesn't link anywhere though
what i meant was, the word filter would still filter out "[/img]" to "[/img]" without filtering the first url tag (because it wasn't and "[img]") on some forums if you don't close urls on images, the link continues throughout the rest of the post. on this forum though the first part of the code is just rendered as text. make sense?

Uhm yeah, I guess it won't be a problem anyway, since most of the people don't link their pictures unless they just copy imageshack's code (and if they do in the sigs, they will notice the ugly code going on and change it to nozoom tags, hopefully).

I've tested it on our dummy board. replace
Code:
[Select]
[img]
with
Code:
[Select]
[img]
and
Code:
[Select]
[/img]
with
Code:
[Select]
[/img]
works perfectly, for all urls.

Yeh, done. If you wanna bind a link to an image [nozoom] should be used so this should not pose any problems, and also help to enforce the nozoom tag.
The nozoom thing IS mentioned in the rules btw.
