Anchor link is incorrect

[Dropbox]

Hello,

 

The anchor link doesn't set it self automatic corectly.

 

This is what you get:

[anchorlink='example']example[/anchorlink]

This is what we need:

[anchorlink=example]example[/anchorlink]

Would be nice to see it fixed.

 

[anchorlink=last]Go to last post[/anchorlink]

[anchorlink=last]Go to last post[/anchorlink]

Actually, if you're talking about jumping to a named point in the page, values should ALWAYS have double-quotes around them.  This applies both for link creation and pointing.  Otherwise people wouldn't be able to create name values that make sense to them while they're typing up their posts, and/or point to other people's value names.  In HTML terms, it's equivalent to...

<a name="{your name here}" href="{URL to link to}" {insert extra things here...}>

...and likely means that the part of the script taking values from the input to be written in the page needs to be repaired to follow already established formats for design.  That is, unless we want people's browsers choking from not having enough value-indicating quotes present in the page data.  I can already see the nightmare coming from that angle. :|

But this is BBCode not HTML, so that issue doesn't really come up? But maybe it is technically better in terms of standardized code and whatnot. The problem is, if that were changed, everyone who had ever used anchorlinks would suddenly find their code screwed up and be forced to change all of it (and some of those people might not even be around at this point!).

Okay... still though, having quotes really is helpful and necessary.  Even if they're only single, but with it still accepting double.  And it still brings me to think some input somewhere is failing to sanitize the inputs and apply proper translation. :-k

I told Randox yesterday and have been told that it's been passed on, so we'll see :).
