Geeklog Forums

I posted an article on a geeklog site and for some reason, almost the entire article appears as part of the "What's Related" block, so basically you see the real article in the middle and most of the article again in the what's related block. Any ideas on how to fix this behavior so it only shows the story's links?

The site affected

the article posted (first 2 paragraphs in intro, the rest in the body)

Also, that site is running geeklog 1.3.9

Hmm, maybe it's a bug with 'a name'. Could you try removing that and seeing if it fixes it?

In lib-common.php in the function COM_extractLinks, try changing this:


to this:


This will restrict it to matching only spaces between the 'a' and the 'href' which seems to be the problem.

Yup. Removing the "a name" html tags fixed it immediately.

Yeah, asmaloney's hack will work, but it won't pick up links with attributes between the 'a' and the 'href' (like 'title', 'style', or 'class').

Looks like a bug with 'a' tags that don't hold a 'href' attribute. Wanna file a bug report?

Thanks for the patch!! It fixed the problem completely.

http://project.geeklog.net/ responds with "The Geeklog Project Site Could Not Connect to Database:" when I try to go there to report this bug.

Keep trying ... The project site is a bit unstable these days. That should be resolved soon, hopefully, when we finally move it to the new server.
