Interesting. It does "think that this text is part of a link", because the rendered page closes an
<a>
tag for that block. (Along with closing an underline and bold tag.) The problem is that the actual
opening of those tags is missing from the rendered page.
Code: Select all
Änderungen: RaspberryMatic 3.45.7.20190511</u></b></a>
Meaning the only portion of the
[url2]
BBCode replacement we're seeing there is the "
{TEXT}</u></b></a>
" portion.
I think I misinterpreted what you meant by "all new links (external) don´t work." I thought only new messages you wrote since the update were broken, but I see now that posts going back as far as 2018 also have these links broken, too. So the problem is not just with "new messages I created after updating to phpBB 3.2.7", and affects older existing messages too.
But you are correct, it is not a situation where "all attempts to use
[url2]
are broken", because the message from 2016 at the beginning of the thread still shows them correctly.
If the problem occurring here could be solved by "the messages just need to be reparsed", I would expect that writing a new message right now using
[url2]
would actually be
working. That's what makes me afraid that if you actually do trigger a reparse right now, all messages will then show whatever behavior you're seeing right now when writing a new message. Meaning, all usage of
[url2]
would become broken, including the 2016 message where it's currently working.
I do not have any definitive idea of why that behavior is occurring. The "delete existing /vendor directory" update was important, and so was clearing the /cache directory, but you already performed those steps. Someone with a better understanding might have a good theory.
If it were my board, the next steps I would attempt would be to make a database backup of the board, and then delete and re-create the
[url2]
BBCode definition. If, AND ONLY IF, writing a new message using the
[url2]
works at that point, then I would
trigger a reparse of the other existing messages.
But if deleting and re-creating
[url2]
doesn't give you a working link even for newly-created messages, I'm stumped.
