[Needs Admin Attention] broken nesting

At least for me, all the nesting is broken. Doesn't happen on other region pages.

Well, that can't be good.

The main problem seems to be the "included dispatch" not working properly in regional factbooks, although I suspect other coding errors on Blue Sheep's part. Can anyone post the BBcode for the regional factbook in question?

I'm going to make a region and try doing the same thing, posting that factbook and using that WFE. See if it breaks again or if its just that region.

No, you're doing it wrong. Try linking the factbook, rather than copying it.

No matter how much of the WFE I put in, it says it's too long, unless its just the dispatch.

This is the biggest I can get the WFE, for some reason.

Wait, I found a way to acquire the BBcode. It's returned by the API.

Okay, there are defintely some problems here.

The [list] tag is misnested with the [color] tag. The [color] and the first [url] tag are miscoded, though in a way that shouldn't cause a formatting break. The second [url] "tag", well...

Code: Select all: [url=&#9812; [b]Eighth Government[/b][hr][b][url=hestertic_role_play_region]RP Region[/url]

That's definitely a problem.

The "regional membersship" line is just as broken in the BBcode as the HTML result suggested.

And then there's this:

Code: Select all: [url=https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Q &#64;z8I0FZthE1GUADGuHrWrhY97mN Wx-AtQBFfKV]YNphI/viewform?edit_requested=true]

So somehow "@" became "@" which then became "&#64;", and I'm pretty sure you're not even supposed to use character entities in URLs anyway.

I just copy pasted the code and removed until it let it update. It probably has to do with the weird code itself, not just the factbook.

by **Arkhall** » Thu May 17, 2018 5:16 am

It could be that "[url=♔]" tag that's breaking it.

It's placing any BBcode inside the [url=] tag. I've tried all other BBcode, replacing the url with an actual link, and its only the bbcode inside the [url=] that breaks it. so [url=[hr]]ee[/url] breaks it, but [url=nationstates.net]ee[/url doesn't.

Either way works, my point was that you don't need to find the API for it.

by **Trotterdam** » Thu May 17, 2018 6:26 am

I'm pretty sure that the API is, in fact, the more convenient way of doing this, given that the API is on the site itself, is the primary source, gives the most up-to-date results, and I'm already familiar with using the API for numerous other stuff.

I personally don't know how to find or use the API, so I'll just let you do you

This is certainly annoying. I'd rather you fix your bbcode in the short term than wait for us to fix the NSCode parser for this case.

We should fix it though.
