Solved User full name fix when quoting does not work for existing posts

PLEASE CLICK ON SOURCE VIEW BEFORE READING THIS POST!

Thanks for looking into this. I'll try to clarify the situation, which is a bit confusing.

The live website has K5.1.9 and Blue Eagle, but with some overrides in layout/user. All posts have been created using bbCode.

To test K5.2.7 I created a copy of the website using Akeeba in a subdirectory of the live website.

I then installed K5.2.7 and the new version of Blue Eagle on the test website. I removed the layout/user overrides to ensure that they weren't affecting anything.

I then examined earlier posts that included quotes, made on the live website, to see how they showed up using K5.2.7. What I found was that
a) only the first name was shown
b) the name was hyperlinked correctly to the post that was quoted

I then added new posts that quoted from earlier posts and found that:
a) Both names were shown
b) The link was wrong - it was just the root url for the domain, www.pgweb.uk instead of for example www.pgweb.uk/pgcdev4/forums/forums-index...ne-ltn?start=40#6293

Examining the bbcode, I found that the pre-K5.2.7 posts with quotes used the syntax

Both Blue Eagle 5 and Crypsis behaved in the same way.

Confusing! I'm sure this would have been noticed if it was happening to everyone, so perhaps it's another example of Kunena behaving strangely on my website, eg the unresolved issue of why it won't send emails to people subscribed to a topic, only to the moderators.

Sorry, my last post came out differently than intended because the examples were parsed!

Examining the bbcode, I found that the pre-K5.2.7 posts with quotes used the syntax where only the username was surrounded by quotation marks, while in the K5.2.7. quotes the entire sequence of username, userid and postid was enclosed in quotation marks. Editing the source for the K5.2.7 posts so that only usernames were in quotation marks generated the correct links but showed only the user's first name.

 

Hello,

In K5.2.x we have changed something in the bbcode quote tag :

[*quote="Firstname Lastname post=73 userid=394"]text text text[/quote*]

In K5.1 it was like that :

[*quote="Firstname Lastname" post=55"]text text text[/quote*]

I have made a fix to support bbcode tag done in K5.1 and first versions of K5.2 like it was and to fix the issue with link to post : github.com/Kunena/Kunena-Forum/commit/6b...6f7ba6e3d767c0f38f02

Thanks, I've uploaded the new versions of libraries/bbcode/bbcode.php and crypsis/layouts/bbcode/quote and all is now well, in fact better than in K5.1.

For new quotes the full name displays and the link is correct. For "legacy" quotes the full name is displayed but there is no link, which is how it is on my live website using K5.1, though I seem to remember that at one time there was a working link (am I right?)

Hello,

I don't remenber that before K5.2 there was links on quote username
