Awaiting feedback Error parsing links in quotes

[psTubble27]

If a quoted post has a URL as the last element in it, the [/ quote] will be included as part of the link.

Proof.

 

[Paul B]

That looks fine to me.

 

[psTubble27]

I was still getting the condition to appear


Here is how to break the Quote structure:
1. In the OP, click Reply
2. Press Enter on your keyboard (to make room for your text).

This is where the defect appears. The WYSIWYG editor converts 'http://www.xenforo.com.[/quote]' into a link.

Updated.

Everything looks fine here. What browser? If it's IE, can you confirm it after submitting?

 

[psTubble27]

It seems to be an IE9 issue. I've checked it with Firefox 10 and the problem doesn't exist there.

1) First of all, FF adds a new-line after the quoted passage, so that your cursor is not next to the link+[/quote].

2) Secondly, even if I bring the cursor up to link+[/quote] and press Enter, it doesn't convert that into a URL.

 

[Mike]

Can you confirm this happens after submission though?

 

[Mr Lucky]

I am getting this issue also

 

[Mr Lucky]

I am getting this issue also

BTW, I am getting this with v 1.4.2

Have tested with all addons disabled, still get the problem. I have now raised a ticket

Everything looks fine if check the edit box for the post, but not when you view page source, part of the closing tag is appended:

"http://howarth.uk.com/wo/manuals/2014saxmouthpiece2ndhand.htm[/QUOTE"

 

[Paul B]

I have responded to your ticket.

I am unable to reproduce it on your site using Chrome or IE.

 

[Mr Lucky]

Even with the example links?

 

[Mike]

We would need steps to make it happen. Seeing it after the fact could just be down to something the user did specifically (or a specific browser behavior that can't be disabled, which IE does have in this case)

 

[Mr Lucky]

It seems what is happening is a URL like this:

[URL]http://example.com[/URL]

gets quoted and becomes this:

[URL='http://example.com[/QUOTE']http://example.com[/URL]

So if I edit the quote in the reply to take out

[/QUOTE

So it becomes

[URL='http://example.com']http://example.com[/URL]

Then save it, all seems to be good again. In fact in the quote whjen I look at again without rich text it shows correctly as

[URL]http://example.com[/URL]

So my question now is, would it be safe to do a find and replace all instances of

[/QUOTE']

and replace with

']

??

 

[Paul B]

If you are sure those are the only instances of that, yes you could do a simple query to replace them all.

 

[Mr Lucky]

Thanks. So am I right in thinking there is no legitimate instance of

[/QUOTE']

I'd be worried that if there was I might break something.

 

[Paul B]

No, that is not a valid closing tag.

 

[Mr Lucky]

Is there a reason why when you just paste a URL in, some would be

[URL]http://example.com[/URL]

and others are like this

[URL='http://example.com']http://example.com[/URL]

I have had the same issue two months ago but I was unable to reproduce it again. It happens very rarely.

I will keep an eye out now. I had about 50, which i have fixed them using the search and replace I mentioned above.
