I would in such case write a script that would convert all messages in the database to the required format, right before releasing the new editor. That route is fully fail safe. Trying to steer things from the module on-the-fly could be error prone.

include_once './include/format_function.php';
$formatted = phorum_format_messages($unformatted);

Now whether I use CK Editor or BBCode for formatting it is appearing correctly in the forum. Mostly it is working the way I want itself - and that is why I am wondering what you mean by "That is not an option" etc. (Anyway the outgoing mails are stripped-off of both BBCode and HTML. If you are talking about that only then sorry for the misunderstanding)

That's what I'm talking about. You requested info about stripping only the BBcode and I responded that there is no option available for that.

For me, as of now, since I am not visibly providing the BBCode editor tools none in our forum would be using BBCode much except this quote BBCode etc. If I modify the files of module that sends out outgoing emails (for example Forum Subscription module), so that it won't be using the strip_tags function for outgoing message section, then I hope I would be possibly able to send out HTML formatted messages with just author related or so BBCode alone in those messages I hope. What would be your comment on that?

If you are planning on sending out HTML formatted messages, I would let the BBcode module do its job of formatting the [quote] tags into HTML code.

The stripping is done by first formatting the message into HTML and then stripping the HTML from the resulting message. So all HTML is removed in the end.

Stripping only the BBcodes is quite an adventure, where you'd have to dig deep into the tokenizing parser that I wrote for BBcode and where the parser would have to output a text representation for the BBcode tag.

Plainly stripping all bbcode would be bad, since there might be BBcodes that contain interesting info.
The quote bbcode is a good example. That one would be perfect to be rendered into text, while still keeping a mentioning of the author of the quote in the text output. When bluntly stripping the bbcode tags, the autohr would get lost.

This is something that I have already planned work for in the 5.3 development tree. There, I want to be able to tell the formatting code what kind of output I expect. This will provide low level control over the output (html / text / collapsed text), instead of doing stripping of messages after rendering to HTML.

Unfortunately, this is not something that will be available for 5.2, so if you want this solution, you will have to wait.

It is not a CK editor problem.

Normally, the BBcode module takes care of nifty quoting by applying the

bbcode to it. Since the bbcode module is not available anymore, the basic text based quoting will be done by the Phorum core. This text based quoting does not contain HTML <br/> line breaks, causing all the lines in the quote to collapse into one, making it look bad.

Thanks for the valuable info.

You need to write a module that handles quoting in a way that works well for use in the HTML environment that you are in now. This module must implement the "quote" hook to take care of converting the quoted test into good looking HTML code.

Hmm.. that is not within my current capability. :(

But thanks for the clue! ;)
I have enabled the "BBcode (version 2.0.10)" module ON and left the "Editor tools (version 1.2.3)" module OFF. :) Now I don't have that BBCode toolbar, but the (BBCode will work) and the BBCode Toolbar will not appear. For me anyway as of now the outgoing mails goes without formatting and so, both the BBCodes and HTML will get stripped of in out going mails and will appear correctly in the forum pages. That seems to be fine as of now.
A question that comes to mind is - "Is there a way to strip-off only BBCodes from outgoing mails and not html?

Thanks Regards,
