[Forum] Remove [IMG] BBCode from quoted post

[Dirt Bike Addict]

Hello everyone.

I run a dirt bike forum and we post a LOT of pictures Everything works fine until somebody quotes a post with pictures in it, then all the pictures are shown again. Which makes the page load a lot slower.

I know there's a template edit somewhere that will remove the [IMG] tags in quotes, so it looks like this.

The reason I know this is because I had it on my test site (that's where that last image came from), but now I can't find that thread on here with the code anymore.

Thanks in advance

P.S. vB Staff, I'm not sure why it isn't setup like that from the start.

I hate bumping threads, but "bump".

Nobody knows how to do this?

I don't see how a template edit could do that(?); are you sure it wasn't a mod over on vb.org?

Thanks for the reply Videx, yes I found it here, I've spent hours searching this site to find it again but can't. Here's one for vB 3.6 that will give you an idea of what I'm talking about. Click Here

Modification Instructions:

1) Open includes/class_bbcode.php
2) Find the following line:

eval('$html = "' . fetch_template($template) . '";'); 

3) After this line add the following:

// Start IMG to URL BBCode Converter
if ($this->contains_bbcode_img_tags($html)) 
{
$html = preg_replace('#\[img\]\s*(https?://([^<>*"]+|[a-z0-9/\\._\- !]+))\[/img\]#iUe', "\$this->handle_bbcode_url(str_replace('\\\"', '\"', '\\1'), '')", $html);
}
// End IMG to URL BBCode Converter 

4) Repeat steps 2-3 for every place that the line on Step 2 appears in the class_bbcode.php file (Four Times)
5) Save & Overwrite the File to your Server ... That's it! Enjoy!

Ok I finally figured it out.

For vB 4.0.3

1) Edit ./includes/class_bbcode.php
2) Search:

$templater = vB_Template::create($this->printable ? 'bbcode_quote_printable' : 'bbcode_quote'); 

3) Add this above it:

if ($this->contains_bbcode_img_tags($message)) 
        {
        $message = preg_replace('#\[img\]\s*(https?://([^<>*"]+|[a-z0-9/\\._\- !]+))\[/img\]#iUe', "\$this->handle_bbcode_url(str_replace('\\\"', '\"', '\\1'), '')", $message);
        } 

For vB 4.0.5

1) Edit ./includes/class_bbcode.php
2) Search:

$templater = vB_Template::create($this->printable ? $this->quote_printable_template : $this->quote_template); 

3) Add this above it:

if ($this->contains_bbcode_img_tags($message)) 
        {
        $message = preg_replace('#\[img\]\s*(https?://([^<>*"]+|[a-z0-9/\\._\- !]+))\[/img\]#iUe', "\$this->handle_bbcode_url(str_replace('\\\"', '\"', '\\1'), '')", $message);
        } 

Thanks to vB Style for the vB 4.0.3 code, I had to modify it for vB 4.0.5 though.
