[Slashcode-development] sig_prefix

[Chris N. <pu...@po...>]

Where did this come from?

INSERT INTO templates VALUES
(16,'sig_prefix','comments','default','eng','',1000,'Content that appears
before any user signature in a comment.',NULL);

I find no references to it anywhere in the code.

It's something I had added when I was working comments.pl -- It's a planned
addition that I didn't finish since there was talk of re-writing the code and
it would help with external scripts like the .shtml -> database routine I wrote
a while back (which will also need to be updated for Bender). 

If you want to kill it right now, I can re-implement it after more discussion
if you wish.

Where can I get a hold of that routine (the pre-Bender version)?  A number of stories on Nanodot got archived before I knew that feature existed; I'd like to bring 'em back to life if possible.

I looked around in both the Bender and pre-Bender distributions ("utils" etc.), but didn't find anything that looked likely.

Thanks!

It's designed expressly for Slashdot, however if you want I can grab the
articles and try to parse them out and give you the resulting code.

Well, considering that it's more a Slashdot-util (as opposed to a Slashcode
util) it's not in the repository. It relies on precise regular expressions to
extract the comment data and these can change dramatically between sites.

I may adopt it for a more general purpose utility when I update it for Bender.
