Forum Bug Causes Data Loss And Html Injection

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Pasting code into the new forum here when the code includes e.g. a smaller-than-sign will cause the display to break. Further edits of the code will then furthermore delete the remaining data beyond easy recoverability.

#2

Philipp, what were you wrapping the code in when you pasted it in? Were you using [code] blocks or something else?

 

Thanks,

Scott.

#3

I didn’t select anything, so default.
 
Let me try an example.

#4

Yeah, the JavaScript injection works. See for more.

#5

Weird, their script injection library is run against the post, and actually strips out the dangerous parts, but is allowing the alert through and re-wrapping it. I think I patched it though.

<script>

alert(‘whoopee’)

</script>

Hopefully the above will display correctly…

#6

Testing… EDIT: Works great now, thanks!!

if foo \< bar then doSomething() end \<script\> alert('whoopee') \</script\>
#7

PS: The code type in this forum should probably display “Lua” among the options (and also default to that).
