bbcode - email not working

[firswood]

Can someoen explain to me why the bbcode

EMAIL ME (test@test.com)

does not work in the category header - it just shows the code in raw state as you can see.

www.theartgallery.co.uk/cpg149 -

you can see the output in the first cat heading for emma knowles

The email tag works only as described in the documentation.

http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/index.htm#bbcode

I've posted how to use the alternative syntax you are attempting before, try searching the board for it.

Thank you nibbler i assumed that cpg would recognise all basic bbcode.

Can you explain why it recognises the Url Text but not when applied to the email variation?

So while I can format a 'click here' to visit a web site, I cannot do the same for an email address - i have to therefore display the email address to get it to work.

It's simply not a feature of Coppermine.

As per the previous post, the simple explaination is that the bbcode conversion code does not support this feature that you are seeking.  If you must have it, replace the bb_decode() function with the following version:

/**
* bb_decode()
*
* @param $text
* @return
**/

function bb_decode($text)
{
    $text = nl2br($text);

    static $bbcode_tpl = array();
    static $patterns = array();
    static $replacements = array();

    // First: If there isn't a "[" and a "]" in the message, don't bother.
    if ((strpos($text, "[") === false || strpos($text, "]") === false))
    {
return $text;
    }

    // [b] and [/b] for bolding text.
    $text = str_replace("[b]", '<b>', $text);
    $text = str_replace("[/b]", '</b>', $text);

    // [u] and [/u] for underlining text.
    $text = str_replace("[u]", '<u>', $text);
    $text = str_replace("[/u]", '</u>', $text);

    // [i] and [/i] for italicizing text.
    $text = str_replace("[i]", '<i>', $text);
    $text = str_replace("[/i]", '</i>', $text);

    // colours
    $text = preg_replace("/\[color=(\#[0-9A-F]{6}|[a-z]+)\]/", '<span style="color:$1">', $text);
    $text = str_replace("[/color]", '</span>', $text);

    // [i] and [/i] for italicizing text.
    //$text = str_replace("[i:$uid]", $bbcode_tpl['i_open'], $text);
    //$text = str_replace("[/i:$uid]", $bbcode_tpl['i_close'], $text);

I could be written better but I just wrote it quickly right now. [I noticed in the preview that tabs do not work but I'm too lazy to replace them with the proper spaces so sorry it's so hard to read.]
