Topic: Searching posts... no parse.
Am I missing something...
When I search for posts (NOT Topics) it does not parse the BBCode in the posts. Is their any particular reasons for this? Thanks.
Re: Searching posts... no parse.
The reason is that the length of output is limited so parsed bbcode could be chopped off in the middle causing problems.
Re: Searching posts... no parse.
Sorry... what do you mean by 'output is limited'?
Can I not just parse the colours and links?
Thanks in advance.
Re: Searching posts... no parse.
I mean you only get the first 1000 characters of the post which means you could get unclosed tags if you parsed the message which could trash the page.

So whats the difference between a search page and a normal viewtopic page?
I think I am missing something here.

You don't see the entire content of the post.

Its like this, if someone posted a huge post, the last characters could be an open tag, like this:
"HEY CHECKOUT MY NEW SITE WHILE UR AT IT! ITS [b]" <- If those were the max characters, meaning, [b] were the last 3 characters of the 1000 returned, and if it was parsed, it'd mess up the page.

Ok my next question would be... how do I parse it and not restrict the amount of characters? So that would not make a difference.
