1.4 does use the parser from 1.3.

we should use 1.3 's parser i think.
i think,there is some bug on 1.2 's style system.

like "random bottom white space on viewtopic pages"

Made one important change. It turns out that the erroneous regex on line 74 also occurs on lines 535 and 648 of parser.php version 1078. And in the latest version (1080), this regex was fixed on line 74, but still occurs on lines 535, 648 and now in a new location: line 683.

I proofread the article and made a few changes/corrections. Check the Revision History page for details.

Note: For some reason, this article does not yet print correctly under Firefox2 or IE6. It does print correctly from Opera9 (not sure about any other browsers/versions).

Please have a proper new posts system for 1.4. Probably the wrong place, but it really is annoying; I want to run fluxbb for my forum because it's really well built and caters to all my needs + it's very easy to integrate extra stuff but it's making my users angry because there isn't a functioning new posts / unread posts feature, it just does from last visit which sucks. Make it work plx

That was an excellent read, thanks for that! I'll see about implementing and testing it tomorrow.

Here is my analysis of the first two regexes in the 1.4.1078 parser.php (and recommendations for improvements):

(Something only an obsessive pedantic regex-geek could love!)

Note: I just finished it and have not had a chance to thoroughly proof read it yet. (I have to leave for the day.)

Enjoy!

ridgerunner: the problem with the alt attribute is an accessibility issue. Specifically 1.2 does not allow the poster to set the alt attribute which of course is a major issue for anybody who cannot see the image. Whether that is a problem in the real world can be debated but it does mean that forum owners who want to make their forums accessible are unable to do so. The current default of using the url is no benefit to anyone. The paragraph issue is more just a question of doing things right. A post which looks like it has 10 paragraphs should actually have 10 paragraphs rather than one block of text divided by br's.

I too, am a "standardista" and am all for semantic, accessible markup (and separation of markup, style and behavior - this is one of the things that led me to PunBB in the first place.) I agree that having an ALT attribute would be a very good thing. As for the

. At first glance at the code, this would appear to be a pretty minor change to the 1.2 parser.

I'm working on a detailed write up as we speak. (Unfortunately I won't be able to post it here because the regexs themselves have BBcode tags embedded inside them which confuses the forum parser even when placed inside a CODE tag. D'oh!)

If it sounded as though I was attacking you personally, I apologize. I never intended that tone at all. I was just giving my critical input which was requested by the topic of this thread. I know that it is one thing to complain about how bad something is, and quite another to instead offer solutions to the problems.
