Easy MyCodes

If you take a look around, for example, the MyCodes forum at MyBB community, you'll probably notice a number of MyCodes posted there using the "(.*?)" expression. (note, previous statement is true at time of writing)

This particular expression allows almost any input to be placed by the user, which can be dangerous in certain circumstances by potentially allowing various injections.  This is perhaps due to the fact that many such "MyCode developers" really don't know how to properly use regular expressions.

This plugin aims to make it easier for administrators to write properly sanitised MyCodes which aren't vulnerable to such injections.  Instead of writing custom MyCodes in regular expression form, you just enter what you want and place appropriate tokens in the expression.
Furthermore, you can actually still use regular expressions in custom MyCodes, so no functionality is actually lost using this plugin (regular expressions need to be escaped however; more information is supplied in the AdminCP when adding/editing MyCodes).

---

To demonstrate an example of an injection, this is what an innocent looking MyCode for allowing custom background colours, might look like:
Expression: \[bg=(.*?)\](.*?)\[/bg\]
Replacement: <span style="background-color: $1;">$2</span>

Perhaps it looks okay, until a user enters something like this in their post:

Code:

[bg=red; display: block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 1000%; font-size: 144pt]hahahahahaha[/bg]

---

Using Easy MyCodes, the admin would use the following instead:
Expression: [bg={COLOR}]{ANYTHING}[/bg]
Replacement: <span style="background-color: $1;">$2</span>
And prevent the injection at the same time.

^ Don't bother using it then >_>
It assumes a certain amount of knowledge with custom MyCodes.

Looks like a bug - can you please try this?
In easymycode.php, find:

PHP Code:

'([a-z\-]+|#?[0-9a-fA-F]{6})',

---

replace with:

PHP Code:

'([a-z\-]+|\\#?[0-9a-fA-F]{6})',

---

[ikhwanulfikri]

This code seems there is a little problem:

Code:

'([a-z\-]+|\\#?[0-9a-fA-F]{6})',

---

I like this change and everything is back to normal. :

Code:

'([a-z\-]+|\#?[0-9a-fA-F]{6})',

helo Zinga.

I want this code added uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers as well. how to make it.

This plugin is no further development, such as adding more code.

I want a plugin that is very easy to make this code developed constantly.

I don't see how that code is actually any different from mine...  Two backslashes is more "correct", but PHP will fix it if you only have one.

MyBB's parser is case insensitive, so a lower/upper case colour seems to work fine, eg "Red" and "red" act the same way.
If you're asking for tokens to be case insensitive, eg "{color}" be recognised, this isn't the intention of the plugin.

yea Zinga.

I've tried 2 back slash and the case, as seen above. and I change the 1 backslashes and it worked.

I saw it.
