View Full Version : BB Code Enhancements - Various Unusual BB Code (and Definition List)
cheat-master30
06-22-2007, 10:00 PM
This modification is not a modification in the sense it requires actual template modifications, but nor is it an add on product in that it uses what is already in vBulletin, as in the BB code manager. This is simply a collection of BB code for features not found online often, and that use standards compliant, semantic code to add curious codes that may come in handy sometimes.
Updates:
1.9- Thanks to a contributor, I added editor buttons for most BB codes.1.8- Added strike through BB code.
1.7- Added a new code (definition) which looks awesome.
1.6- Tried a new code (Internet Explorer only, see post 3.
1.5- Updated Definition List codes. New one allows infinite child items and is perfectly XHTML valid. Also has bold headings.
1.4- Added glossary link code and blink code (plus instructions on how to block blinking text in Firefox
1.3- Forgot to add css for overline in second post.
1.2- Added some other sites to the search link code
1.1- Added horizontal rule and Spoiler code
1.0- Release BB Code
Support:
None needed
Notes:
Works in any version with custom BB code as an option. Tested in vBulletin 3.6.4, 3.6.5, 3.6.6 and 3.6.7 PL1.
Definition List
This allows users to insert a definition list in their posts, and when used with the definition entry BB code, has a wide range of uses.
Code to use:
Replacement:
<dl>{param}</dl>
Example:
[Definition]A scripting language used for interactive features such as forums onlineDescription:
Use this to insert the definition titles and actual definitions.
Definition Entry (only use with definition list)
Code to use:
DefineobjectReplacement:
<dt><b>{option}</b></dt>
<dd>{param}</dd>Example:
A scripting language used for interactive features such as forums onlineDescription:
Use this to add more definitions to a definition list.
Heading
Use this to add heading tags of types 1 to 6 in posts. Semantic titles without using bold formatting or italics and that show the level of heading to screen readers and the like.
Tag:
hReplacement:
<h{option}>{param}</h{option}>Example:
This is a headingDescription:
Use this to insert a semantically correct heading into the document by modifying the text you want made into a bold, large heading. This is good semantics for headings in guides and FAQs.
Google Search:
Use this to link to Google for the specified term. I also attached a modified one which replaces Google with Ask Jeeves. Can also be used for any search engine online if you know how to edit the code.
Tag:
Google
Replacement:
<a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q={param}">{param}</a>Example:
NintendoTo use with Ask Jeeves, use this replacement for the replacement part in BB code manager:
<a href="http://uk.ask.com/web?q={param}">{param}</a>For Wikipedia, use this for the replacement:
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/{param}">{param}</a>To use Lycos, use this for a replacement:
<a href="http://search.lycos.com/?query={param}&x=0&y=0">{param}</a>To use Yahoo, use this as a replacement:
<a href="http://search.yahoo.com/search?p={param}&fr=yfp-t-501&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8&vc=&fp_ip=UK">{param}</a>To use the Internet Archive, use this as a replacement:
<a href="http://web.archive.org/web/*/{param}">{param}</a>You can use each one as a different code if you wish.
Right to left
Changes text direction.
Tag:
rtl
Replacement:
<bdo dir="rtl">{param}</bdo>Example:
This is weirdDescription:
Turns the text from the right to left rather than left to right.
Sub Script
This is explanatory in the name.
Tag:
sub
Replacement:
<sub>{param}</sub>Example:
testDescription:
Make text that floats slightly below the main text.
Sup Script
Tag:
sup
Replacement:
<sup>{param}</sup>Example:
33Description:
This is for text floating slightly above, like how the 3 floated up and to the right of a number shows that it is cubed.
Horizontal Line
Tag:
hr
Replacement:
<hr /><p>{param}</p>Example:
textDescription:
Use this to insert a horizontal line into your post with your highlighted content below it.
Note: The text between goes in the p tags under the line.
Spoiler Tag
Tag:
spoiler
Replacement:
<span class="Spoiler">{param}</span>In CSS, add:
.Spoiler {background: white; color: white; outline: 1px solid black;}
Example:
There is a Shroob Princess in the Cobalt Star in Mario and Luigi 2Description:
You can use this to hide spoilers in games, movies and from TV shows by turning the text the same colour as the background.
Blinking Text
Tag:
blink
Replacement:
<span style="text-decoration: blink">{param}</span>
Example:
textDescription:
This allows you to have blinking text.
To disable blink in Firefox if favourite forums implements above code:
Type in about:config then set browser.blink_allowed so the value is false. No more blinking text.
Glossary Category Link:
Tag:
Glossary
Replacement:
<a href="glossary.php?do=listglossary&c=1<r={param}&pp=0">{param}</a>Example:
ADescription:
Use this to link to a glossary category.
Definition

def
Replacement:
<dfn title="{option}">{param}</dfn>Add in CSS:
dfn {font-weight: bold; background: gold; cursor: help; }Example:
NintendoDescription:
Use to post definitions, without a list, in your posts or signatures.
Strike Through
tag:
strike

<span class="linethrough">{param}</span>in CSS:
.linethrough {text-decoration: line-through; }Example:
Line is crossed outDescription:

More BB Code
Overline
Just as there is strike through and underlined text, this allows for overlined text in posts.
Tag:
overline
Replacement:
<span class="overline">{param}</span>In CSS add:
.overline {text-decoration: overline; }
Example:
This text is overlined
Description:
Use this to overline text, whatever that is.
Lower Case Text
This turns all text within tags to lower case.
Tag:
lowercase
Replacement:
<span class="lower">{param}</span>Put this in your CSS stylesheets:
.lower {text-transform: lowercase; }Example:
THIS IS TEXT!Make all text uppercase:
Makes all selected text fully upper case. Does not stay upper case when copied to Notepad or any other text editor.
Tag:
allcaps
Replacement:

Miscellaneous BB Code (either non standard, non semantic or overdone codes)
No Follow Links
Tag:
nofollow
Replacement:
<a href="{option}" rel="nofollow">{param}</a>Example:

Replacement:
<samp>{param}</samp>Example:
This is the sample output from a PHP String.Description:
Allows you to show sample output from a code or program.
Marquee
WARNING: This code is not W3C Compliant! If you use, this will invalidate the FAQ page as standards compliant just as most video codes do, so encourage members NOT to use it in signatures and the like! It also does not work in some Netscape browsers.
Tag:
move
Replacement:
<marquee>{param}</marquee>Example:
Moving text exampleDescription:
Allows for the creation of moving text. Note, please keep moving text to a minimum as not only is it very annoying after a short time, but also not correct XHTML 1.0 coding, which will cause various topic pages and the FAQ to fail validation. Try not to place in signatures.
Abbrieviations
Tag:
Abbrieviate
Replacement:
<abbr title="{option}">{param}</abbr>
Example:
DSUDescription:
Use this for abbrieviations such as shortened forms of words and stuff.

Can you give an example of the glossary hack in action on someone's forum? Because if it uses, or can be equipped with anchors in any way, this would be extremely easy to do.

I am trying to attach images and the like, but it said:
'Jelsoft site not available'. If anyone needs an example, is rjmjr69's site using the codes? Oh, and if you hadn't obviously figured this out, anything I have made, codes, smilies, post icons is in use on my own site. Try the FAQ, and look for posts saying about 'BB code additions'.
Oh, and anyone want a modification I may be able to make where the search box is moved to the nav, vBulletin.org style (except without the fancy drop down)?

I get that error trying to make attachments and posts here often. Its a busy site just keep trying. And I am going to install the dictionary bbcode for you right now. Sorry I should have thought of that.

Oh, and to make it work with the glossary, there is a problem in that it would require the glossary to use anchors on the page. You could do a very limited one which went to pages for the terms starting with different letters, such as A, or B or whatever.

someone has icons for those bbcodes??
cheat-master30
07-03-2007, 02:55 PM
Not at this moment. The reasons why are:
1- I seriously cannot design non themed, generic buttons for forums, even less for 20 odd vB codes. But if someone else wants to share their designs for buttons which would insert these, go ahead.
2- I never thought of it because I wasn't about to make 65 buttons for all the BB code on my forum. But if no one makes any, I could try to make some that would mimmick the default buttons.

Heres something slightly unusual, this one is based on TVants, for anyone not into the world of p2ptv? its a popular p2p streaming application that shows all sorts of things from films to live football from all over the world.
Your visitors wanting to view a stream must have TVants installed, Ive added a download link to the code!
Works with:
Windows
Only IE and Firefox when embedded into a page
Title:
TVAnts
Tag:
tvants
Code:
<object classid="clsid:4C833081-D026-4FF8-968F-7EAB660D2FBA" id="TvantsX" CODEBASE=" http://download.tvants.com/pub/tvants/tvants1/win32/cab/tvants.cab#Version=1,0,0,58 " width="420" height="380" >
<param name="Title" value="Live Stream">
<param name="URL" value="{param}">
</object>
<br />
If you don't see anything get the latest version of tvants from here: <a href="http://download2.tvants.com/pub/tvants/tvants1/win32/bin/TvantsSetup.EXE">Click Here</a>
Example (ESPN):
tvants://www.tvants.com/tvants/?k=b3d4e2448970cd7f
You can find all the urls and schedules here: http://www.tvants.com (in chinese)
Theres loads more of these applications and pretty much all of them can be embedded into your forums with some custom vbcode, if you want any more give me a shout at FSi (http://www.footballstreaming.info)

Nice. I was trying to find a way personally to embed AOL videos with the object tag simply because it has videos from like 20 different sources which can be embedded with a single code.
scudd
07-14-2007, 07:52 PM
I've never used AOL video so I can't really comment, I've just taken a quick look and it seems to be fed from you tube?? have you tried calling it from an asx file?
something along the lines of:
<embed src="{param}" quality="high" width="425" height="350" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>
Example:
http://your-url/stream1.asx
Where stream1.asx has this:
<REPEAT>
<ENTRY>
<ref href="url/stream_name1" />
<ref href="url/stream_name2" />
<ref href="url/stream_name3" />
<ref href="url/and_so_on" />
</ENTRY>
</REPEAT>
That should tell the video to move on once the stream contains no more data..
I have no idea if that will work.. :lol:
cheat-master30
07-14-2007, 08:16 PM
The problem I have is that while I can use embed, I am stuck trying to use the object tags so it validates as valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional. And the object tag is a lot more complicated...

07-14-2007, 09:56 PM
ahh.. I have a .js around somewhere that gets around that!!
I've used it recently so It'll be around somewhere.. I'll see if I can find it and get back to you!
Quick edit, bookmarks are great!! it used this principal: http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/

Yet again, I dont know if this will work with what you have in mind... there will probably be a few edits required!

Just added strike through BB code. Because someone requested it in 'Modification not Available' forum. I know, should have been in the mod in the first place...

Just a suggestion, you should use inline styles rather than creating classes. Saves the need for an extra step.

The only reason I do that is because I am a very much standards purist when it comes to separating presentation from content. And because I also use external CSS, it saves a few KB of bandwidth seeing as the presentation for custom BB codes is cached already rather than re-loaded with every page.
You can tell this from my site; every page outside the forum is generally under 10KB in size. And all images are micro managed to the KB.

Added a ton of button images, provided by a contributor.

I wonder, is it possible to make a bbcode that allows columns? Like having two columns next to one another with text and/or images in them?

That's a table. And there's already a mod for that here:

I use it myself.

Here are some cool ones I put on my board:
Background Image
Tag: bgimg
Replacement:
<table border="0" style="background-image:url({option}); background-position:top; background-repeat:no-repeat;"><tr><td>{param}</td></tr></table>
Example: Message
Puts an image in the background of the text.
Border
Tag: border
Replacement:
<table border="0" style="border-color:#7282A9; border-width:thick; border-style:{option}; padding:0;"><tr><td valign="middle">{param}</td></tr></table>
Example: Message
Puts a border around the message. Options: dotted, dashed, solid, double, groove, ridge, inset, outset
Hover
Tag: hover
Replacement:
<span onmouseover="this.innerHTML='{option}'" onmouseout="this.innerHTML='{param}'">{param}</span>
Example: Hover
Changes the text when you hover the mouse over it.
Click
Tag: click
Replacement:
<span onclick="this.innerHTML='{option}'" onmouseout="this.innerHTML='{param}'">{param}</span>
Example: Click
Changes the text when you click it.
Hold
Tag: hold
Replacement:
<span onmousedown="this.innerHTML='{option}'" onmouseup="this.innerHTML='{param}'">{param}</span>
Example: Hold
Changes the text when you click and hold down on it.
Hide
Tag: hide
Replacement:
<!--{param}-->
Example: Hide
Hides the text so it can only be seen when editing the post. (Good for leaving comments in posts that various admins/mods will be editing.)
Also, for Blink, you can just use <blink>{param}</blink>. It doesn't work on IE, but neither does your method.

Nice code. Oh, and the blink code does not work because Internet Explorer has NEVER supported any variant of it, just like how Netscape browsers never supported Marquee as it was Internet Explorer only code.

Tried both definition codes, neither of them worked for me. Most likely suggesting I'm doing something wrong. Too bad, cuz it's an awesome concept.
Don't understand, I basically copied them verbatim, I guess I didn't understand you're opening message so well. I tried to add them to the BB code manager, and that didn't work in the layout you gave. Are we missing code, or should I be putting this in a template or something?

Works fine for me.

Works fine for me.
When you say above Use with Definition List, does that mean I have to have both codes installed, or that the only way the Definition will work is if I also use the Definition List BB Code at the same time.
Meaning like a combination of 2 BB codes just to get one to work?
Meaning in example, Bold + Italic, it won't be italic unless you use bold as well: Bolditalic

These work great.
I'm looking for varieties of editor icons/buttons for superscript, subscript, and the background image one above. I am using screencapped ones from openoffice right now, but can't think what to use to show the "background image" tag in the post above.
Thanks!

Lower Case Text
This turns all text within tags to lower case.
Tag:
lowercase
Replacement:
<span class="lower">{param}</span>Put this in your CSS stylesheets:
.lower {text-transform: lowercase; }Example:
THIS IS TEXT!
I'm getting nothing with this. Any idea why ?
I'm trying to use this as a moderation tool for those shouting anoying guys that time to time got into our boards. This would make easier to edit shouting posts and put it everything to lower case.

I'm surprised by you not getting anything. Can you post a link to your forum so I can check what the problem might be?
Leo Brazil
08-03-2009, 12:59 PM
I got it working. In fact on text window on admincp it doesn't work, still shows original text (all upper case) but I just tested directly on posts, it works great.
Thank you

That's probably because the admin cp uses different templates and CSS than the forum, it might work if you were viewing the admin cp with the vBulletin 3 forum inspired admin cp style rather than one of the admin cp exclusive ones.
I should probably release another one of these collections for 3.8 now I think about it...
Leo Brazil
08-05-2009, 12:34 PM
That's correct cheat-master30, I'm on 3.8.3 and those BB codes work great on posts but the admincp, anyway it does the job very well.
Thx
