GHW Advanced MOTDs [BBCode + More] - Page 2

whether the MOTD is coded in HTML or is coded in this BBCode, it will all be the same length. Granted, writing an MOTD in HTML will allow you to customize a lot more thus saving characters, but this is for those people who will have to sacrifice a few characters because they are too lazy to learn HTML.

I completely support mods on these forums, and if you both agree this plugin should be unapproved, by all means, discuss it and unapprove it.

My point was that if they're counting characters to make sure they come in under the limit, you're misleading them because, as an example, "[color=black]" is only 13 characters while it expands to "<font color=black>" which is 18 characters.

Do you get what I mean?

GHW_Chronic · 04-25-2006 , 19:16

comepletely understand what you mean, and people that use this plugin don't know that it's 1519 characters, they probrably are unaware of any limit on characters. If they go over they'll post here "It cuts off the end" and I'll post "It can only be a certain length" and they'll say "o ok".

If only those conversations were so efficient.

I don't think ts suports html, so far every plugin i tried that included html just came up with the code in the motd window.
Real shame though sounds like a awesome plugin.

Chronic, this plugin is a perfect example of where using regular expressions would make a lot of sense. Is there any particular reason why you didn't use the regex module?

I was going to mention that ;x

GHW_Chronic · 04-26-2006 , 18:27

honestly and fortruely, I do not know how to use regex. Infact, never knew it existed (never scrolled that far down the funcwiki list). Why don't one of you explain exactly what I would do with this regex stuff...

PS: gracias para la approval
