Hi! I am looking for a programmer who can take a script that has been developed for phpbb2 and package it into a filter module for Drupal 5. The name of the script is gwbbcode, and can be found at gwshack.us. The code takes specific strings of text, processes them in various ways, and then spits out html code. This code can be seen on gwshack.us and also on http://www.pvxwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page (PvXWiki).
The code itself should not require any major modifications. I need it to be repackaged as a Drupal filter module.
I have a semi-working hack to show how I would like the code to be implemented here:
http://test.lennalf.com/
Requirements:
The filter must survive "teaser" trimming (the above example does not meet this requirement, as the last instance of the code on the front page is malfunctioning)
The filter must work correctly in posts, comments and previews.
The filter must keep the original database structure intact (so that I can update it easily when new releases come out).
It is not important to tweak the formatting or styles, as I am capable of making these fixes myself.
My estimate for this project is $100, since it seems like it can be done in a day. Please contact me at lennalf@gmail.com if you are interested in this project.

Some experience with Drupal filters
I've made filter modules for Drupal before, so I may be able to help.
(I was about to refer you to an older post here I found with Google, but then saw that it was also by you and nobody ever responded...)
I'm checking out the latest version of the script from gwshack.us just to see what this would involve; I'll contact you later if I think I'm up to it.
----------------------
Teasers are split off before (and independently from) the filter, so all the filter could do to broken tags would be to automatically close them like HTML Corrector does for HTML code, or to remove them entirely.
The rest of the requirements shouldn't be hard to fulfill, though - posts, previews and comments all run though the same filter, and the module could well simply include the existing gwbbcode files and call the original functions.
It sounds as though the teaser truncation is the greatest hurdle to this...
Thanks, Deelight!
This project has been completed by user deelight. He was quick, self-motivated, and very professional. I am very happy with the finished product. I highly recommend deelite's Drupal coding services!
Is it possible to download
Is it possible to download the module somewhere. Im looking for a version that works with Drupal 6.1
Thanks,
Tonny
