It looks like you declared preparsersig_showthread() twice in the updated preparsersig.php. An easy fix, just something to note.

I don't recall saying such.

But you did imply it, or at the very least, you didn't put your ideas forward correctly

Actually, they aren't. You could write a forum system in C if you wanted to - no need to budge with this scripting/interpretation layer.
MyBB just has decided to require this layer, and not require Sphinx on the other hand.

If you can't, Sphinx is perfect.

Yes, MySQL settings do only go so far.

Then I suppose you're implying your mistake about putting forward your point that you should be implementing this rather than rely on 3rd party software?

Is Apache (or similar) not necessary for the web? Is MySQL (or similar) not necessary for a DB Manager?

In all honesty, I have no idea why the heck I started this debate from the beginning, I was probably extremely tired that day. Now, I'm not saying Sphinx isn't good. I, in no intention, am I saying 3rd party software aren't good; heck, I use MyBB. My main argument (as to what I remember from when I started this), was that their are other solutions, I myself, like to create my own sometimes to gain more knowledge and increase my experience skill set. When you develop your own private software, you're less prone to security holes being found due to the fact that no one can publicly download it (yes, their are some downfalls in security terms). Sphinx is a good 3rd party solution, if it wasn't, MySQL themselves wouldn't be using it for their site.

I'm done here, I feel horrible already for starting this discussion (it's just like beating a dead horse), and for one, I pretty much hijacked such a great thread, with great plugins.

Applies to Sphinx.

1) Sphinx follows our standards
2) NCAAbbs gets on avg 10-20 daily hacking attempts. Most of them are just bots trying old phpBB vulnerabilities, but nonetheless Sphinx is a secure project.
3) Sphinx is used on a daily basis by 20,000 members to search over 4 million posts
What is your point?

Blah, that's what I get for fixing it during school. Should be fixed now. Can you let me know if it is helping?

I think so, although some of the users have still been reporting strange behavior with their signatures. It's hard to tell exactly what the problem is, but this thread should illuminate the problem somewhat.

Try this, find:

	if($user->user_update_data['signature'] == "")
	{
		$user->user_update_data['parsedsig'] = "";
		return;
	}

Add before:

if(!isset($user->user_update_data['signature'])) return;

thanks Yumi

I've been using Pre-ParsePost, and works perfectly for few months on my 1 million post..
Now, going to try pre-parsesig and Sphinx also

After Deactivated and Uninstalling Pre-parse, then updating 1.4.10...


When Re-Installing Pre-parse (other plugins N/A),
got pre-parse display error..

all html-characters are displaying inside posts..
such <br />, <img>, <td>, <div> etc...

Any suggestion?

It's solved

because you didn't reapply the manual code modification
