Topic: usernames with quotations
I have users who have registered with quotes " " in their names, it's braking the [ quote ] in posts. How can I stop them from registering with quotes?
Re: usernames with quotations
It shouldn't break the quotes. For example:
test"test wrote:
asdf
There's a special case if the username starts and ends in quotes, then the quotes won't show in the "User wrote:" part of the quote box, but other than that, it should work.

Re: usernames with quotations
Well, it's breaking them. The user's name is like hello "aka" good-bye.
hello "aka" good-bye wrote:
this is a quote
When I remove the quotations from the name the quotes are rendered normally and the rest of the page is not broken.

Re: usernames with quotations
Ahh see everything is screwy..
Re: usernames with quotations
Parser is messing up. Its generating the closing tag for the blockquote but not the oppening tag among other things. Generally the tags are ending up improperly nested. Great fun.
Re: usernames with quotations
Ah, I see 
Lemme think.

Re: usernames with quotations
Solution. Open up include/parser.php and look for
$text = preg_replace('#\[quote=("|"|\'|)(.{2,25})\\1\]#seU', '"</p><blockquote><div class=\"incqbox\"><h4>".str_replace(\'[\', \'[\', \'$2\')." ".$lang_common[\'wrote\'].":</h4><p>"', $text);Replace it with:
$text = preg_replace('#\[quote=("|"|\'|)(.*)\\1\]#seU', '"</p><blockquote><div class=\"incqbox\"><h4>".str_replace(\'[\', \'[\', \'$2\')." ".$lang_common[\'wrote\'].":</h4><p>"', $text);That should do it.

Re: usernames with quotations
Should that be a permenant change.
Re: usernames with quotations
Yes. At least for now. I really don't know why it happens. The old {2,25} should work, but apparently, it doesn't. Man, I wish there was a way to debug regular expressions.

Rickard:
I just searched with Google for "regex debug". Is this something, that might be useful?
