Although an easy custom work around, I would suggest increasing the maximum size of the IFCode "Replace Pattern" field from nvarchar(300) to nvarchar(4000). This will allow for greater flexibility with IFCode custom HTML inserts in posts.
Why would you want to do something like this? Examine the example below. This would allow your users to use IFCode to post a flash video player embedded within their post.IFCode Friendly Name: Video
Tag Example:
[video url="http://yourserver.com/yourvideo.flv"]Your Caption[/video]
Actual code to insert:
[video url=""][/video]
Search Pattern:
\[video url="([^>]*?)"\](.*)\[\/video\]
Replace Pattern:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="400" height="300" id="PlayVideo" align="middle"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /><param name="movie" value="PlayVideo.swf?url=$1" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><embed src="PlayVideo.swf?url=$1" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="400" height="300" name="PlayVideo" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></object><br><b><i><font class="">$2</font></i></b> What the other forum users will see, is an external Flash object that will stream a multimedia file based on the url that was entered on the post, along with a caption below the Flash. (The design of the Flash object is obviously outside of the scope of this post.) Now, obviously the Replace Pattern is much larger than 300 characters, so by limiting this field you have lost the ability to include the functionality that an example like this provides.
Custom Workaround:
1. Update the database field [InstantForum_IFCode].[ReplacePattern] to nvarchar(4000)
2. Update the stored procedure [if_sp_InsertUpdateIFCode] variable "@strReplacePattern" type to nvarchar(4000)
