Hello,
I need to ascertain exactly how the post_text field is constructed when a user adds an image, smilie, text formatting, etc.
This is because I need to extract all the existing posts, and add them to another forum's database.
I will need to modify/remove/replace the phpBB formatting of these artefacts,
so I need to understand exactly what formatting is being applied.
Please point me in the direction of the technical documentation for this,
or can someone explain them please?
Examples of phpBB format I am interested in include:
a colour:
[color=#0000BF:2p33qpi0]text[/color:2p33qpi0]
a smilie:
<!-- s:!: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_exclaim.gif" alt=":!:" title="Exclamation" /><!-- s:!: -->
a URL:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="
http://www.xxx.uk/frames/set_prod.htm"> ... rod.htm</a><!-- m -->
These seem quite complex to me - more so than other forums use.
What are the strings like:
<!-- s:!: --> and
<!-- m --> and
:2p33qpi0 for, and what other similar structures are there?
Thanks in advance. Dave R
