Signatur Sync

I still do not know why it is happening.
See link for workaround. I simple fill in profile fields and save
and sync including signatures starts working without this warning

Please download beta2

Replace the old module with beta2.
I have fixed this weird warning.
phpBB stores bbcode with user_sig_bbcode_uid
if you enter in drupal sig without any uids, it is syncing with phpBB, but next time because of different valuse the sig with uids from phpBB will be synced back and in drupal you will see in sig field bbcodes with uids.
drupal module bbcode.module understands most of bbcode and uids and do not show it.
You must only enable it in default filter.
if bbcode.module do not understand some of bbcodes you have to modify it.
the phpbbforum module is not responsible for recognithion of bbcodes and their presentation.

Actually, seems that I have a similar problem.

My config:
Drupal 5.5
Latest bbcode module
Latest version of phpBB3 (3.0.1)

I tested the BBcode in standard nodes and everything works fine. But when I try to modify a signature using phpBB3, the sync with the Drupal user goes wrong.

Here is what I get for example:

[b:28ottamb]test[/b:28ottamb]
instead of
[b]test[/b]
which is what I set in phpBB3

As everything goes well within the other nodes, I guess that the problem happens with the sync?...

http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=3742

in phpBB3 file constants.php you may set value
// BBCode UID length
define('BBCODE_UID_LEN', 8);

bbcode_uid is hardcoded in phpBB if you set 0, you will see [i:] not [i]

there is no way to get rid of : without patching the phpbb code.
I do not recommend to set 0 or any low value because i do not know how phpBB will like it. 3 or more i think will do.
phpBB is using bbcode_uids in bbcode parsing

It is not the module issue at all.

Drupal bbcode module do not show bbcode_uids on pages you only can see them in input fields.

I was running into that drupal <-> phpbb3 signature synchronisation problem as well.

I checked the code and found the lines where the signatures are compared and saved. I used the phpbb functions and methods to convert drupal to phpbb-like bbcode and vice versa.
It's just a quick hack and is not really tested but it's working on my site as expected.

As this module provides signature synchronisation, it has to handle different drupal <-> phpbb3 bbcode as well otherwise it's just an incomplete sync.

I created a patch - I hope everything will work - it's my first one :/

Great beginning. Thanks.

How do I utilize this patch (NEWB ALERT :-) ?

Does this get added to the phpbbforum.module? Will this make it into the release eventually?

Apologies for being daft!

Thanks so much.

The patch is already included since phpbbforum 1.0
