<t> and </t> tags appearing in title when I use submit_post function

[20aubac]

Hello ,
I recently upgraded my forum from 3.0.14 to 3.2.1 version and everything seems fine apart from that one thing : when I post using the submit_post function there is now these <t> and </t> tags around my titles.

For example :
<link deleted>

The code I'm using is the one from the wiki :

Code: Select all

function post_phpbb($message,$sujet,$forum_id,$topic_id = 0,$mode = 'post') {
	
	global $phpbb_root_path, $phpEx, $user, $db, $config, $cache, $template, $domaine;
	require_once($phpbb_root_path . "includes/functions_posting." . $phpEx); 	
	
	//$topic_type  :	One of the phpBB3 topic type constants. POST_NORMAL, POST_STICKY, POST_ANNOUNCE, POST_GLOBAL 
	$topic_type = POST_NORMAL;
	//$username : Username of the poster. Only valid for guest posters.
	$username = '';
	
	 // note that multibyte support is enabled here 
	$sujet = utf8_normalize_nfc(utf8_recode($sujet, 'utf-8'));
	$message  = utf8_normalize_nfc(utf8_recode($message, 'utf-8'));
	
	// variables to hold the parameters for submit_post
	$poll = $uid = $bitfield = $options = ''; 

	generate_text_for_storage($sujet, $uid, $bitfield, $options, false, false, false);
	generate_text_for_storage($message, $uid, $bitfield, $options, true, true, true);
	
	$data = array( 
		// General Posting Settings
		'forum_id' => $forum_id,    // The forum ID in which the post will be placed. (int)
		'topic_id' => $topic_id,    // Post a new topic or in an existing one? Set to 0 to create a new one, if not, specify your topic ID here instead.
		'icon_id' => false,    // The Icon ID in which the post will be displayed with on the viewforum, set to false for icon_id. (int)
				
		// Defining Post Options
		'enable_bbcode' => true,    // Enable BBcode in this post. (bool)
		'enable_smilies' => true,    // Enabe smilies in this post. (bool)
		'enable_urls' => true,    // Enable self-parsing URL links in this post. (bool)
		'enable_sig' => true,    // Enable the signature of the poster to be displayed in the post. (bool)

		// Message Body
		'message' => $message,        // Your text you wish to have submitted. It should pass through generate_text_for_storage() before this. (string)
		'message_md5' => md5($message),// The md5 hash of your message

		// Values from generate_text_for_storage()
		'bbcode_bitfield' => $bitfield,    // Value created from the generate_text_for_storage() function.
		'bbcode_uid' => $uid,        // Value created from the generate_text_for_storage() function.

		// Other Options
		'post_edit_locked' => 0,        // Disallow post editing? 1 = Yes, 0 = No
		'topic_title' => $sujet,    // Subject/Title of the topic. (string)

		// Email Notification Settings
		'notify_set' => false,        // (bool)
		'notify' => false,        // (bool)
		'post_time' => 0,        // Set a specific time, use 0 to let submit_post() take care of getting the proper time (int)
		'forum_name' => '',        // For identifying the name of the forum in a notification email. (string)

		// Indexing
		"enable_indexing" => true,        // Allow indexing the post? (bool)

		// 3.0.6
		"force_approved_state" => true, // Allow the post to be submitted without going into unapproved queue

		// 3.1-dev, overwrites force_approve_state
		"force_visibility" => true, // Allow the post to be submitted without going into unapproved queue, or make it be deleted
	);
	
submit_post ($mode,  $sujet,  $username,  $topic_type,  $poll,  $data);

I tried to find why on Google, in phpbb code but couldn't find why... If anyone has a idea it would be very appreciated

Many thanks !

Do you have the problem if you switch to the prosilver style?

Hello,
thanks for your answer. I switched to the prosilver style but it has the same effect...

Where/how/why are you using the submit_post function?

The only place that I can see where those tags are used is in the new text formatting routines - the best person to answer that would be Joshy

Hello,
thanks for your answer.
I''m using the submit_post function to generate topics people can answer to. I'm using it in my own script and I'm using the code I pasted above.

I removed this line : generate_text_for_storage($sujet, $uid, $bitfield, $options, false, false, false); and I no longer have these weird tags.

I guess I'll keep it that way as I'm not sure this line was useful .

The generate_text_for_storage() parses the submitted text, e.g. it processes bbcode, smilies, etc. Since phpBB 3.2 the new text_formatter is used, which adds XML tags like the <t> you see in your resulting topic_title.

However: for a topic title there isn't any BBcode or smiley but just plain text. So you don't need to run it trough generate_text_for_storage(). You should use that function only on "rich" text like post content, PM's, signatures, etc.

[david63]

If you are using generate_text_for_storage() to store your data then you need to use generate_text_for_display() when you want to display that data. That function should strip off those tags.

Ok, that is very clear now - many thanks to both of you for your help !
