Maximum of 1 Nested Quote

07/31/09 9:14 pm | #1

If you have more than one quote nested within another quote, any additional nested quotes will be removed from now on. This happens automatically so you don't need to worry about it if the post you're quoting already has two quotes.

I've applied the new filter to all the posts in the database too. Hopefully I didn't mess up and lose any important data. Just in case I duplicated the posts database before I did it, so if you notice anything fishy, just let me know.

Great idea

So now BlackMagic's quote will be gone

Yea

So what this does is make only 2 quotes per nest.

Quote by Top Dogs 360:

Okay I got it now. Sorry I'm kind of slow at this.

Doesn't matter it severs as a good example to anyone else confused.
Edit: it looks like this doesn't allow more then 2 quotes in a post period. just tried to quote Top Dogs above post and its not showing anyway you could fix that. That will probably make a few of my posts not really make sense because I know that I sometimes quote a chain then use a separate quote,this update will save the unnecessary chains and not the separate quote I assume.

Okay, you can now quote more than 2 in a post. I'm going to write a script to use the old copy of the database to update all the posts that had quotes chopped off because of this bug. Hopefully I won't cause any more problems in the process.

Edit: Just double checked my work and it looks like there are posts in the database with more than 2 quotes so it looks like it worked. Let me know if you see otherwise though.

Cool, let us know when you need more test subjects

(thanks for the award)
