UBB.Developers Forums General Discussion Suggestions and Feedback Carriage Returns and HTML

You need to hack w3t.pm to take out auto linebreaks

Comment line 63 : $value =~ s/\n/<BR>/g;
And line 127 : $body =~ s/\n/<BR>/g;

You need too a small hack in editpost.pl such that undo_markup shouldn't be called when HTML is enabled for a forum.

Add a query before calling undo_mark: (around line 141 in editpost.pl)

    my $Board_q = $dbh -> quote($Board);
    $query = qq!
    SELECT
    Bo_HTML
    FROM w3t_Boards
    WHERE Bo_Keyword = $Board_q

    !;
    $sth = $dbh -> prepare ($query) or w3t::not_right("Query syntax error: $DBI::errstr. Query: $query",$Cat,1);
    $sth -> execute() or w3t::not_right("Can't execute query: $query. Reason: $DBI::errstr",$Cat,1);
    my ($HTML) = $sth -> fetchrow_array;
    $sth -> finish;

Then do the necessary changes such that yoy get:

    $Body = w3t::undo_markup($Body) [:red]unless ($HTML eq "On");
    $Body =~s /< br >/\ n/gi [:red]unless ($HTML eq "On")[/b];

This is not a complete satisfactory hack (when you edit a post, you'll see the HTML
tags instead of invisible carriage returns) but it works fine to display the HTMl documents.
