This MOD forces word wrapping on sentences without any spaces in them.

this mod is a little more complicated than that.

for example, sentances matching the regex "(! ){4000}" have spaces in them, but require wrapping to be forced upon them, as well, due to the fact that the ! character is a character prohibits wrapping on the previous character.

more info on that can be found here:

http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr14/

also, this mod doesn't count characters between <>'s and (the latest version which has yet to be released) only counts legitimate #whatever;'s once.

but, anyway, heh - thanks for releasing it!

Will this mod wrap long URLs that force the tables to extend out? And if so, do the URLs still work after wrapping?

Thanks

[yawnmoth]

yup to both - it won't insert spaces into the <a href=whatever> tag - just the stuff between the <a href=whatever> and </a> tags

yup. i just submitted it to phpBB's MOD database, however, i expect it'll take a few months before they update it (that's how long it took for them to validate it the first time around).

in the mean time, if anyone wants to test out the mod, they can do so here (after creating an acct):

Very nice! Is it possible to include this feature for the posting window (i.e. inserting a very long link when composing makes the window scroll horizontally as is now).

Thank you very much.

how do i update from 1.0.7 to 1.0.9

Very nice! Is it possible to include this feature for the posting window (i.e. inserting a very long link when composing makes the window scroll horizontally as is now).

in IE, it automatically does word wrapping, but in Firefox (and perhapes Opera, et al.) it doesn't seem to.

anyway, adding this feature certainly is possible, however, i won't do work on it until probably next weekend (i do need to do homework, after all)

how do i update from 1.0.7 to 1.0.9

just replace the word_wrap_text and addWrap functions in bbcode.php with the newest ones.

a quick informal list of the changes are as follows:

find "/^&#[0-9][0-9]*$/" and replace it with "/^&#[0-9]+$/" (w/o the quotation marks).

also, find "(strlen($ampText) < $longestAmp && $curChar == ";" &&" and after it (but not on a new line) add "function_exists('html_entity_decode') &&"

pretty much, though, 1.0.8 didn't add any new features or fix any features - it just made the code look a bit prettier. also, although 1.0.9 did fix a bug, it's a bug will only occur if your version of php doesn't have the html_entity_decode function. as most do, chances are you won't have to upgrade.

[Joe Belmaati]

You're absolutely right. I am using Firefox, and I just tested with IE, and it is as you say. I will much appreciate the fix for Firefox, time and homework permitting of course.

[yawnmoth]

i hate to disapoint, but i don't believe such a mod is actually possible

i thought about making a javascript function to add a \n every time x consecutive non space characters were encountered, but decided against it, because that'd also effect what was sent to the server.

there seem to be no css things available that can change that, either.

incidently, i tested it out on opera, and didn't have this problem, so it seems to be exclusive to firefox, so hopefully a new version will fix this

It doesn't apply on smilies? Here's a try on my board:
