Please describe your problem. After converting an old forum with 2 million posts, some BBCode did not get converted properly. I'll give an example.
This is the post_text. The problem is that the quote doesn't show as a quotebox in the forum. The cause is simply the double quote around the name. When manually editing the post via the frontend and removing the doubled quotes around the author name, the preview shows it would "parse" properly into a quotebox.As this issue affects a couple hundred thousand posts, we don't feel like doing this manually, though. Fixing the quotes in the DB is easily done with a simple regexp_replace (and takes just over a minute), but that sadly does not translate to the posts being rendered properly in the forum. Purging cache did not help either.
I found that you can trigger a reparse via the CLI (https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... -reparser/), but that also doesn't help. Assuming this is because the text already is considered parsed, I then tried to first unparse the post_text in the DB, leading to this value, which looks like "clean" bbcode text to me:I then ran the reparse CLI again for this postid, but it unexpectedly resulted in the exact same result as the first codeblock above (minus the extra double quotes, obviously), so still no luck.
So now I tried to just hit "preview"&"save" in the forum frontend to see what the post_text would look like then:Which is obviously quite a bit different result, and I'm unsure why there's such a discrepancy.
Now the question: Is there an easy way to get the desired result (bottom codeblock) after manipulating post_text via the DB? Or do I need to dig into the phpBB functions that generate/prepare the text and call that for every single DB row in PHP (which obviously will have atrocious performance)?
