Combine Two Lines of Code ....

[LPH]

Hi

I have two lines of code which are leading to a posting behavior that is not as I desire.

    $body = '';
        if($post_contains == 'full')
        {
           
            $body = $XF->visitor->get('username') . ' submitted a new blog post';
           
            $body .= '[quote]' . XenForo_Helper_String::autoLinkBbCode(XenForo_Html_Renderer_BbCode::renderFromHtml(nl2br($content))) . "[/quote]";
           
            /* Add preg_replace */
            $body = preg_replace('#\[nlposts .*\]#', '', $body);
           
            /* Add Trim to 500 Words */
            $body = XenForo_Helper_String::wholeWordTrim($body, 500);
        }
 
        $body .= "[URL='" . get_permalink($post->ID) . "']Continue reading the Original Blog Post[/URL]";

The problem is that the Continue reading the Original Blog ends up inside the quote tags.

I keep looking at this code and trying to figure out how to make sure that the link is outside the quote. The resource manager uses a template to achieve the above but I'm not sure how to add templates and get them called properly here.

Does anyone have any suggestions? If you think a template is the best way to accomplish this then is there a write up I've missed which might help?

you don't want to start the quote and then trim it
trim the content, put it inside of the quote tags and then add the "continue reading" link

I understand but I believe this is why the two lines need to be combined:

$body .= '' . XenForo_Helper_String::autoLinkBbCode(XenForo_Html_Renderer_BbCode::renderFromHtml(nl2br($content))) . '';

and

$body = XenForo_Helper_String::wholeWordTrim($body, 500);

This is because if I simply add the line between the Continue .... :

$body = '[quote]' . $body . '[/quote]' ;

Then the username and title end up inside the quotes

So, how do I combine two XenForo_Helper_String statements?


I hope that makes sense what I'm asking.

YES !

I got it to work. This is how I combined them

$body .= '[quote]' . XenForo_Helper_String::wholeWordTrim(XenForo_Helper_String::autoLinkBbCode(XenForo_Html_Renderer_BbCode::renderFromHtml(nl2br($content))), 500) . '[/quote]';

It seems to be working. As always - thank you for your help!

Let me know if you think there is a better way.
