View Full Version : using the <code> tag
One of the only troubles I have add with vbdrupal is the use of the <code> tag in articles. I also installed the BBcode module in hopes that the [code] tag would work but it didnt. Everythign works fine in the forums, just have this trouble when submitting article, blog etc in drupal.
For now my users are using <textarea> in Full HTML mode to show code examples...
Any hints or ideas?

I haven't tested out the <code> tag for vbDrupal yet, but thanks for pointing that out.
I have had some problems with Filtered HTML and HTMLArea also, so they are also using Full HTML to filter out all the linebreaks...
Yeah i disabled htmlarea.. just a little too clunky for me.
I shoudl also note that when viewing articles as administrator if the writer has posted say..
[code]
<?php
my php stuff
?>
[code]
i do not see the <?php it seems to go into parsing php rather than just displaying the text. happens even using
<textarea>
<?php
</textarea>
Only as admin so not a biggie.

cool, thanks for the heads-up...
Can we confirm this as a bug? or possibly just something I did in my customization efforts...

It's not a bug in drupal, just a missing feature. There is a module on drupal.org for bbcodes.

Yeah I added that module, every bbcode worked except the <code>, [code] tag.

Are you sure? Have you confirmed that all other bbcode tag work, or simply used HTML alternatives. You may need to tweak the order of filters to make sure the bbcode filter gets used.
Yes I'm sure, the other bbcode's are definately working... just not the code tag (either version <> [])
I've adjusted the order of filters every which way.. still no go.
but shouldnt the <code> tag work in full HTML mode even without the bbcode add on? Even on this site when I try and use <code> in the book page creation it does not work.
does anyone have any ideas for fixing this?
Can anyone confirm the same issue? or have this working?
If anyone else runs into this snag, you need to install the codefilter module http://drupal.org/project/codefilter
