replaceSmiliesHtml template compilation error

ivp · Feb 2, 2025

After upgrade from 2.2.17 to 2.3.5 seeing couple of errors shown below.

I've attached example content causing the issue. Avoid using copy&paste, but import the file just like it is, just change post_id.

Code:

TypeError: Macro public:post_macros :: post_user_content() error: XF\Str\Formatter::replaceSmiliesHtml(): Argument #1 ($text) must be of type string, null given, called in /home/forum/src/XF/BbCode/Renderer/Html.php on line 448 src/XF/Str/Formatter.php:230

Here's a quick-and-dirty fix for cleaning up badly encoded messages.

Important: It forces conversion to Latin characters and strips everything else.

List such messages:

Code:

SELECT
    post_id,
    message    
FROM
    xf_post
WHERE
    message LIKE BINARY CONCAT('%', _binary 0xed, '%');
    
SELECT
    profile_post_id,
    message
FROM
    xf_profile_post
WHERE
    message LIKE BINARY CONCAT('%', _binary 0xed, '%');

SELECT
    profile_post_comment_id,
    message
FROM
    xf_profile_post_comment
WHERE
    message LIKE BINARY CONCAT('%', _binary 0xed, '%');

SELECT
    message_id,
    message
FROM
    xf_conversation_message
WHERE
    message LIKE BINARY CONCAT('%', _binary 0xed, '%');

Fix such messages:

Code:

UPDATE
    xf_post
SET
    message = CONVERT(
        CONVERT(message USING latin1) USING utf8mb4
    )
WHERE
    message LIKE BINARY CONCAT('%', _binary 0xed, '%');
    
UPDATE
    xf_profile_post
SET
    message = CONVERT(
        CONVERT(message USING latin1) USING utf8mb4
    )
WHERE
    message LIKE BINARY CONCAT('%', _binary 0xed, '%');

UPDATE
    xf_profile_post_comment
SET
    message = CONVERT(
        CONVERT(message USING latin1) USING utf8mb4
    )
WHERE
    message LIKE BINARY CONCAT('%', _binary 0xed, '%');

UPDATE
    xf_conversation_message
SET
    message = CONVERT(
        CONVERT(message USING latin1) USING utf8mb4
    )
WHERE
    message LIKE BINARY CONCAT('%', _binary 0xed, '%');
