Strange code in my pages now.

http://www.blincmagazine.com/forum/w...ne?redirect=no

I was editing an existing page, then noticed the following:

Code:

#!#CES*XST-@1#!#

the items in question are:

Code:

[ B ]15th century [ /B ]

and

Code:

[ category ]General[ /category ] [ COMMENT ]The End...[ /COMMENT ]

as I dig, it definaletly has to do with the numbers like 1999 and [ b ] Bold Tags.

Code:

#!#CES*XST-@4#!#1917 [/b]Major Orde-Lees

The strange code you are seeing is encoding which hides certain aspects of your page from becoming autolinks - specifically, other BB-Code tag tags. This has been present since VaultWiki was created.

However, since you have an existing article that matches one or all of the word elements of the encoding ("CES", "XST", 1), an autolink is being created on the encoding. Then, since the encoding has been changed, VaultWiki cannot find where it is to remove it.

I will look for a workaround.

Try this. In vault/special_plugins_autolink.php, find:

Code:

$linktitle = stripslashes($linktitle);

Replace with:

Code:

		if (
			$linktitle == 'ces' OR
			$linktitle == 'dol' OR
			$linktitle == 'xst' OR
			$linktitle == 'l' OR
			intval($linktitle) > 0
		)
		{
			continue;
		}

That seemed to work. Although I did not understand what you mean by:

To clarify: To prevent autolinks from being created in certain places, VaultWiki encodes those areas. However, it is possible that an existing article matches part of the "encoded" text. If this happens, VaultWiki will create an autolink there, and corrupt the encoded text. When autolink creation is complete, VaultWiki cannot decode those areas of the article, because the encoding is corrupt.

Specifically, you had an article called "4". This placed an autolink over the 4th encoded area, making it impossible for VaultWiki to decode. Once this happened, it became difficult for VaultWiki to decode areas 1 - 3.

The workaround that has been implemented does the following:
VaultWiki will not create auto-links to articles with the following titles -

CES
XST
DOL
L
any positive integer (1, 2, 3, ... 1997, 1998, ... 13653920, etc)

The issue is now fixed in the current ZIP.
