'rn' in text boxes.

[Nieth]

I've noticed that the website script does not take kindly to the the letters 'rn' being together in that order, especially on the ToS page.

I have often tried to edit the page, but every time I do those two letter vanish when they are placed in that order right next to eachother.

This can be checked by trying to type in 'warning' or 'alternative' into the rules page. When you hit submit and then go to view the page, the words will be 'waing' and 'alteative.'

A quick google search pulled this up:

This is a bug but i created some cheat in php... Basically, /r/n is "new line" in html that can be read by tinymce, and some hosting company uses "addslashes" function to resolve sql injection...
In order to remove those slashes, you need to use "stripslashes", but it will also remove the slashes in "/r/n" so it will produce the string "rn". Therefore, that "rn" will appear as text in tinymce... (i used this also in <img> slashes problem)
To resolve that, you just have to add "replace_str" before sending it to database (replace 'rn' with '')....
like this >>>

stripslashes(str_replace('\r\n', '', mysql_real_escape_string($post['description'])))


hope this help... it works with me....

Just have to add that code in. I'll let Hoffie know that this bug is still going...

Alright, but I'm rather new to all of this, where would I put that string of code?

[Tequila]

I'm not sure...
I'd say somewhere in the same folder as the tinymce program. If that doesn't work we'll have to keep trying...

[Nieth]

There's a tinymce program in Mysidia..?

[Tequila]

It's either TinyMCE or one of the other editors... I can't remember which off hand (not running my adopts site any more, just hanging around designing themes)...

Alright. I'm sorry to be nosy, but do you know if HoF's alright? I haven't seen him posting much lately.

The reason why I made 'rn' impossible to be used in the script is that it messes up with empty spaces and new lines. I will see if theres a better solution though.
