prevent changing newlines to <br />

[tfederman]

When I have HTML turned on and want to let people post tables, all the newlines changing to <br /> screw up the table. How do I prevent that?

This isn't for allowing regular users to post html code, I'm letting my staff use a special forum as a CMS for news pages. What's the preferred method for doing that? I'm just querying the post/post_parsed tables directly.

Thanks.

It would require code modification. Most likely you could probably add a hook to bbcode_parse to override this.

Thanks for the tip. It looks like this does the trick:

if ( strpos($text, '<table') !== false )
{
    $text = str_replace('<br />', '', $text);
}

} 

This should find a table anywhere in a post, and disable line breaks more efficiently (not convert them to line breaks in the first place, rather than unconverting them. :P) only if HTML is enabled.

Location: bbcode_parse_start
Code:

if (preg_match("%<table[^>]*>.*</table>%si", $text) && $dohtml) {
    $donl2br = false;
} 

EDIT: I just tested it and it didn't work. >.< I'll see if I can fix it.

EDIT: Fixed and attached.

That's great, TCM. Much better than my quick hack. Thank you.

my apologies for interrupting this thread but im having a very similiar issue.

First off, are you putting this is class_bbcode.php or a different file.

second, instead of tables, how could i convert this to work for forms.

Thanks
