Add the leading brackets to the following code and the post goes blank.

I am not understanding what you are saying, so I will ask....

You are saying the following?
QUOTE BY= SmackDaddy]
1. phpAdsNew, when installed, can be bridged into Geeklog right "out of the box"?
/QUOTE]
There is no bridge.  They are two totally seperate programs.

QUOTE BY= SmackDaddy]
2. When phpAdsNew is installed and working, your Geeklog users' log-in will work for the phpAdsNew log in if they want to be someone who wants to put ads on your GeekLog site?
/QUOTE]
You have to give a specific and seperate login/password in phpAdsNew.  However, if you know the login/password of the geeklog user, you could create a phpAdsNew account with that information.

These two programs are so different, and aimed at different users.  phpAdsNew is not just a banner management program, but a full flegded publisher/advertiser program.

Perhaps if you close all the open QUOTE tags it will work like this:

If you don't close all the open QUOTE tags it will not work, I am not sure if this is considered a bug or user error.
Yes I am mental.

Your very first quote was not closed.
Have a look at your sample again Mr. Green

The very first is not closed in your sample anywhere.

Are you sure that that is not the issue ?

If I close the quotes in the sample code, then the post dissappears, thats I why I did not close them. If you look at my first post it says:


Add the leading brackets to the following code and the post goes blank.

What knuff means is that for every (quote) there must be a closing (/quote).

So if you have (quote)(quote)...(/quote) then the post disappears because you forgot a second closing (/quote).

The forum could certainly handle this more gracefully, but you're still feeding it with defective input to start with ...

bye, Dirk

No, it still renders a blank post. Just try it, don't guess about it.

JesusChrist,

I think you need to clarify what you mean then.

If you look at the original post and follow the instructions ['Add the leading brackets...'], there is still a missing (/quote) at the end of that text. This will make the post disappear.

Once you add the final (/quote), you'll get the quoted text as in drshakagee's post.

I don't think Dirk makes guesses. Shocked
Since it is obvious that no one can reproduce the error (see below working proper cuz it has the closing quote tag) perhaps you should take a moment.
