UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.0x] Smilie Mod v1.1 (final release for 6.0 boards) [ Finished ]

Tyran, I bet it's the following smilie you have assigned: ":|"

This causes the smilie pattern matching to act wierd. Here's what I think is happening:

The smilies sub looks for any combinations of characters that should be converted into smilies. When it gets around to looking for your ":|" smilie, this is what happens:

$_[0] =~ s/:|/ /sg;

The "|" is interpreted as a logical or. So this pattern will match either ":" or "". Yep, an empty string. And there's one of those between each character in a string. So it slips a smilie between each letter.

Solution: get rid of the ":|" smilie until someone comes up with a way to fix this.

Edit: Or try this quick fix:

Open ubb_lib.cgi that has SmiliesMod installed. Find:

$smchar =~ s/)/\)/sg;
$smchar =~ s/(/\(/sg;
$smchar =~ s/;/\;/sg;

Add just after that:

$smchar =~ s/|/\|/sg;

I did not test this, so it might not work.
