Using HTML in reviews module

Duke · 01-05-2006, 01:24 PM

I feel your pain buds but I really have no idea. Personally I'm terrified of upgrading to nuke 7.8 because the install I tried was horribly buggy and thus un-installed in a matter of days. I never even had a chance to try the reviews module simply because of how messed up the rest of the site was.

Have you tried asking this question at nukecops?

I'll try them over there at nukecops, That snippet of code though you suggested for the weblinks page looks great!

Ya it really helps fill up dead space nicely doesn't it?

I sincerely hope you find help for your problem buds. I installed 7.8 through Fantastico at an older webhost and it was a complete disaster. If you do manage to get it resolved, would you mind posting here and updating us?

Thanks,

Ken

Actually I could have sworn I was running 7.8 but it is actually 7.6... Guess I had a mind fart.

Ofcourse if I find a cure I'll post it... I disabled it for now

Is your version of 7.6 patched? If not, you may want to look at patching it as it may have been an issue when 7.6 was released initially that was resolved in the patch. Another thing you can try is re-downloading a new version of 7.6 from phpnuke.org and replacing that particular file with a fresh one.

Over at Nukecops.com I found the following post by "mtalley887", I did what he said and it works like a charm!

Here's the fix for your problem guys.

Open up your PHPNuke 7.5 modules/Reviews index.php file and go to first line 170 and find this:

Code:

$text = stripslashes(check_html($text, ""));

Comment this line out and add the following line so it looks like this:

Code:

#$text = stripslashes(check_html($text, ""));
$text = stripslashes($text);

Then go to line 283 and find the following line:

Code:

$text = htmlspecialchars(stripslashes(Fixquotes(urldecode(check_html($text, "")))));

Comment this line out and add the following below it so it looks like this:

Code:

#$text = htmlspecialchars(stripslashes(Fixquotes(urldecode(check_html($text, "")))));
$text = stripslashes(Fixquotes(urldecode(check_html($text, ""))));

That's it..now your html tags won't show, they will be active, you'll be able to show images, etc.

Great man, glad it worked out for you.

BTW, thanks for posting the solution here, very helpful indeed.

Well, Hopefully it helps some people as it took me a few weeks of digging before I found his post over there.

Hard to have a horror movie review site with your reviews all jacked up, lol

RottenZombie · 01-10-2006, 04:08 PM

I'm sure some of you have your own ways of doing this, sometimes I want to highlight some reviews on the main page "News" section. When you do this, it's hard to wrap a picture around text. I use this code but you MUST replace all the "[" brackets with "<" or if you PM me I can email you the html file. The code would not show up if I posted it normally.

You can check out what it looks like over on my horror site as I'm using it now. It's very easy to customize it to your needs.

Hope it helps somebody.
