The "strike text" BB Code is not a part of default vBulletin, you need to add it yourself.

What code do i add and where?

[Lynne]

Go to Custom BBCode > Add New

Title: Strike Through (or whatever you want to call it)
Tag: [s] (or whatever you want to use
HTML: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">{param}</span>

The rest is explained at the bottom of the Add BBCode page.

What about the "My Posts" button? What should i put and where for that?

[Lynne]

For the My Posts button, you'll have to add a drop-down menu: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=122523&highlight=drop+down The links for those should be available in the memberinfo template since those are used there also (for My Posts and My Threads anyway).

would anyone know how to change/edit the above strike through BBcode so that a double line would appear or even a thicker line, this would be much appreciated

<strike>{param}</strike>

would also work. ;)

<strike>{param}</strike>

would also work. ;)
Except <strike> and <s> have been deprecated so it is better to use the css.

[Boofo]

I didn't know that. Thank you. ;)

But I don't think you need the ; at the end of it since it is the only text-decoration.

You're right, you don't. But, it doesn't hurt either. :)

[Boofo]

True, but you know how validating can get touchy and it will only probably get touchier in the future. ;)

[Lynne]

Actually, if you look at the css that vbulletin 'makes', it always adds a semi-colon at the end and it validates perfectly. :p

[Boofo]

You're right, they do most of it that way, but when I reported a bug a while back, the fix I posted had a ; at the end and I was told that was wrong. The right code they posted for it was the exact same thing I had posted but without the ; at the end of it. So, I guess it depends on who you talk to at the time. Both ways validate fine now, but that will probably change in time. It usually does. ;)

Ahhhh, but will the standard become with or without the semi-colon, that is the question! :D



I just did a quick search on css inline and found it being done both ways in different tutorials. I'm not sure if there is an actual 'desired' way.

[Boofo]

That's usually the way it works, doesn't it? No matter which way I pick, they will make the other one standard. ;)
