vbadvanced news module and gars review problem

[DJD]

Hello there.

I am experiencing an issue with the news module in the forum that gars is installed. I have two news forums both working with gars template. In the one that we do multipage reviews with the [break] tag in the frontpage we get a random page from the review and not the first one. Morgan from Gars was kind enough to explain this to me:

Untested, but the following should remove the break tags, though you'll need to look at the vBa code for where to place the line as I'm not familiar with vBa code:

$post_text = preg_replace('#\[\/?break.*\]#iU', '', $post_text);

you will probably need to change $post_text to whatever variable name is used by vBa.

but i have no idea how to use this information. Can you help please?

Thanks in advance :)

Try looking for this line in your modules/news.php file:
$newscount++;


And add this right below:
$news['pagetext'] = preg_replace('#\[\/?break.*\]#iU', '', $news['pagetext']);

You will probably have to disable the 'Use Post Cache' setting for the news module as well.

Thank you! That solved the problem. What is the downside of not using post cache?

It can cause a little more strain on the server since it's always having to parse the BB code. Shouldn't be a big deal in most cases though.
