Search options

Most of the webmasters are using the amazon associates programm to earn some cash. But when users are posting links to an amazon product the associate-id is missing and the admin has to put it there manually.

It would be nice if the parser could recognize amazon links and puts the associate-id in (saved somewhere in the admin options). It should also be able to see if an associate-id is used which isn't set in the preferences and changes it to the correct one.

Perhaps an option for version 1.3?

Hello!

I'm running a german movie website and one of the disadvantages of discussing movies in a forum is: how can you tell important details of a movie without ruining the fun for people who haven't seen the movie? If you tell the surprise ending of a film somebody who wanted to see the movie will surely kill you.

So, I tried to make a workaround. It's not a real mod, only some additional lines in two scripts (version 1.1.2!). It works as follows:

[spoiler]This text will tell you the murderer.[/spoiler]

This will print your text like a quote, but in a almost unreadable color, nearly the same as the background color.

For an example have a look in this thread I've just started: http://www.senseofview.de/forum/viewtopic.php?id=109
The text is in german but I think you can see the functionality.

So, what have I changed? The only scripts I modified are edit.php and includes/parser.php and you have to make some additions in your style sheets.

Okay, first edit.php. In lines 112 and 113 I changed

$a = array("#\[quote\]#i", "#\[quote=#i" ... "#\[url=#i", "#\[/url\]#i");
$b = array('[quote]', '[quote=', '[/quote]', ... '[url]', '[url=', '[/url]');

to

$a = array("#\[quote\]#i", "#\[quote=#i" ... "#\[url=#i", "#\[/url\]#i", "#\[spoiler\]#i", "#\[/spoiler\]#i");
$b = array('[quote]', '[quote=' ... '[url]', '[url=', '[/url]', '[spoiler]', '[/spoiler]');

In includes/parser.php there is something more to do. Well, look around line 80 for:

$q_start = strpos($text, '[quote]');
$q_end = strpos($text, '[/quote]');

and add in the next line:

$s_start = strpos($text, '[spoiler]');
$s_end = strpos($text, '[/spoiler]');

Just some lines below add:

if ($s_start === false) $s_start = 65536;
if ($s_end === false) $s_end = 65536;

And below change

if (min($c_start, $c_end, $q_start, $q_end, $q2_start) == 65536)

to

if (min($c_start, $c_end, $q_start, $q_end, $q2_start, $s_start, $s_end) == 65536)

Below that you'll find something like this:

else if ($c_start < min($c_end, $q_start, $q_end))
{
  ...
}
else if ($c_end < min($c_start, $q_start, $q_end))
  message($lang_common['BBCode error'].' '.$lang_common['BBCode error 3']);

Just add almost the same, only modified for the spoiler tags:

// We found a [spoiler]
else if ($s_start < min($s_end, $q_start, $q_end))
{
    $tmp = strpos($text, '[/spoiler]');
    if ($tmp === false)
        message($lang_common['BBCode error'].' '.$lang_common['BBCode error 2']);
    else
        $text = substr($text, $tmp+10);

    $cur_index += $tmp+10;
}

// We found a [/spoiler] (this shouldn't happen since we handle both start and end tag in the if clause above)
else if ($s_end < min($s_start, $q_start, $q_end))
    message($lang_common['BBCode error'].' '.$lang_common['BBCode error 3']);

Search for the following line:

if (strpos($message, 'quote') !== false)

After the end of the if-clause add this:

if (strpos($message, 'spoiler') !== false)
{
    $message = str_replace('[spoiler]', '<br></span><table style="width:99%" align="center" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="6"><tr><td class="punspoiler"><span class="puntext"><strong>SPOILER!</strong></span><br><span class="punspoilertext">', $message);
    $message = str_replace('[/spoiler]', '</span></td></tr></table><span class="puntext">', $message);
}

That's it! As a last step you've to add to new classes to your style sheets. Just copy the TD.punquote and paste it as TD.punspoiler. And somewhere add a ".punspoilertext", which has a slightly darker color than the background-color of TD.punspoiler. Example:

TD.punspoiler {
    background-color: #F6F6F6;
    border: #606060;
    border-style: dashed;
    border-width: 1px
}
.punspoilertext { color: #D4D4D4; }

So, i hope this wasn't too confusing. If I missed important lines of the PunBB source it would be nice if you can show me where.

I'm running a german movie site for 5 years now and recently I started a new forum with punBB. So if somebody wants to have a look at it:

http://www.senseofview.de is my site.
http://forum.senseofview.de is the forum.

By the way: nice work Rickard!
