does this also work on vb3.0.7 ?? Would be great!

[Andreas]

No. This is for 3.5 only.

[Chris M]

Nice one Kirby :)

Hacks like this should be standard on vB ;)

Satan

[Dan]

I concur with Chris up there :) This type of thing should be stand :D

Good job!

[TruthElixirX]

Heh. I foooled the vb 3.0.5 set-up into recognizing multiple options without touching any code, templare , or table. nothin modified..I don't know how I did it either.

Great hack. Will install when I gt my testboardup.

[Andreas]

Heh. I foooled the vb 3.0.5 set-up into recognizing multiple options without touching any code, templare , or table. nothin modified..I don't know how I did it either.
3.0.5?
Thats a pretty old Version ...
Anyway, if you are able to find out how you did that - let me know :)

Update for Beta 3
The Code has partly changed in Beta 3, this Hack does not fully work any longer (well, it does - but the Code to search for has changed a bit).
As there are new possibilities in Beta 3, it's a Plugin now :)

[Boofo]

Looks like the code to find has been changed again on RC 1. ;)

[Kirk Y]

Are you planning on Porting this mod to RC1 and on until the Gold release, Kirby?

[Andreas]

Looks like the code to find has been changed again on RC 1. ;)
This is a Plugin ... ?

[Boofo]

This is a Plugin ... ?

Per your fisrt post in this thread:

Due to Code changes in Beta 3 this Hack is now a Plugin.

[Andreas]

Yes. So what are you talking about "Looks like the code to find has been changed again on RC 1"?
There is no Code to search for.

[Boofo]

Per your fisrt post in this thread:

Scratch that. I didn't see the two sets of instuctions in the readme file. My goof. Sorry. ;)

[diades]

Hi
As there are new possibilities in Beta 3, it's a Plugin now
I have just installed this via the upload plugin panel but it has no effect (I tried with your example of box) on vb2.5 RC3. in fact the page just shows (the source code)
<div style="border:{option1}px solid {option2};">Hi</div>

Is this plugin ok for 3.5 RC3?

[utw-Mephisto]

First, you have a ";" too much, but 2nd, even without, I get just the text and not box nor red text (3.5 RC2)

[utw-Mephisto]

<i>edit</i>

Ok, I got it working, but the box goes over the whole page and not just around the text ;(

[Andreas]

That's what div is supposed to do :)

[Princeton]

try using the bbcode on a post ... for some reason the bbcode manager is not displaying the outcome on my end (maybe the same thing is happening to you)*

* I've been having this problem even before I tried this plugin.

[Princeton]

edit

Ok, I got it working, but the box goes over the whole page and not just around the text ;(

use <span>

[utw-Mephisto]

As I said, I got it working above (yepp, I just did not see it in the manager).

[Cyricx]

Looks like the code changed alot in vb3.5 gold?

Looks like they took out the str_replace?

[Andreas]

Installation Beta 3 & Up
------------------------
Upload/Install the Plugin from multioptionbb.xml

So what are you talking about?

[sub_ubi]

Installing now, hope it works!

Edit: It works very well, thank you for your time and effort.

[Xplorer4x4]

Kirby(sorry but I gotta call you that) I think I would need this hack in order to properley code this into one BBCode

http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_option.asp

How might I code this in the add BBCode section?

Thanks again Kirby.

[Xplorer4x4]

Also can you add a third screen shot to show the outcome of your tags as I think your example may be the code I need.

[Xplorer4x4]

*bump*

[Lea Verou]

Andreas please tell those guys over at Jelsoft to make this a default option! :p

[YOimYO]

ok. I have installed it. It did not mess with my custom bbcodes at all :D

anyhow.

Could I please get some instructions on setting up the options ?

(option 1) (option 2 )

where do i define what the option is ?


thx :)

Good luck I been waiting for 2 months how to set up one particular set of BBC Code.

[Andreas]

Just take a look at the screenshots, it's pretty straight-forward.

[cclaerhout]

This hack is working very well except in vBa CMPS. All {option X} values are not filled when the html code is read.

[lightwave]

:eek: I waited for this since I know what BBCodes are... I'm SO grateful Andreas. *hammers the Install link*
Finally I can use some fancy BBcode stuff x3 (I assume it works with javascript too?).

Any solution ?:bunny:

Bump :)

Last up :(

[kalleball]

does this work on 3.6.x? i can't seem to find anything like it anywhere...

[C Braithwaite]

what is the format for the bbcode? is mytag=opt1;op2 .. or mytag=opt1 opt2

etc etc ?

[sub_ubi]

The format is mytag=opt1|opt2|opt3

This works fine on 3.6.x

However, it's not compatible with PHP5. If you use it on a server with php5 you will get this error:

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /includes/class_bbcode.php(2341) : eval()'d code on line 7

To make it compatible with PHP5, go to your plugin manager and in,
bbcode_fetch_tags
replace
$replace = array_merge($param, explode('|', $options));

with

$replace = array_merge((array)$param, (array)explode('|', $options));

and it will work fine.

[scarex80]

I tried to install the plugin on my 3.6.8 test forum; as I'm running on 5.X php I've applied the fix sub_ubi reported, but doesn't work. {option1} {option2} are not resolved :(

[scarex80]

Up?

[Andreas]

Except for the array_merge() bug already reported it works fine with PHP 5 and vBulletin 3.6.X

[scarex80]

Nothing, I've tried also on a 3.6.7 I import the xml plugin file contained in the zip, I applied the fix for php5 but my custom bbcode

prova

with this function of test

{option1}^{param}{option2} produce this

{option1}prova{option2}, with prova obviously formatted as sup html tag.

[Webnower]

Does this work on 3.7 RC1?

[Raw Sugar]

I'd love to use this one! But I'm running on 3.6.8... any plans on making it compatible with other versions??

[vgevolution]

This might break the editor images for bbcodes that use options.

Here's the error in the console:

Warning: reference to undefined property vbphrase.enter_tag_option
Source File: /forums/clientscript/vbulletin_textedit.js?v=368
Line: 1007

Error: str has no properties
Source File: /forums/clientscript/vbulletin_global.js?v=368
Line: 1611

Any fix for this, or am I looking at the wrong code? I did remove the plugins, and I'm still having the problem, so it might not be this addon.

[Andreas]

Except for the array_merge() bug (which has already been mentionened and had a pathch posted) this does work with 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8 - just tested it with 3.8.2 - not that bad for code that is almost 4 years old :)

Anyway, I'll release an update that fixes some small issues (WYSIWYG editor, Test not wrikng in ACP, etc.)

[Oblivion Knight]

Anyway, I'll release an update that fixes some small issues (WYSIWYG editor, Test not wrikng in ACP, etc.)Just thought I'd give a little nudge on this, if you have time.. :up:

Possibly with vBadvanced CMPS support too, please (earlier reported not working)? ^__^;

[Brew]

Andreas

Will you be updating this to ver 4.0+ any time soon :)

Thanks!

[Theda]

really wanting this for 4.0.x...

[dibbz]

This is holding me back from upgrading to vb4 cms.. it is a great plugin to make rich content.

[ArchAngelz]

Anyone knows if there's an equivalent for this for vb4?

[countersweet]

+1 for vbulletin 4

[Dylan Leblanc]

The format is mytag=opt1|opt2|opt3

This works fine on 3.6.x

However, it's not compatible with PHP5. If you use it on a server with php5 you will get this error:

To make it compatible with PHP5, go to your plugin manager and in,
bbcode_fetch_tags
replace
with

and it will work fine.


Wow, thank you for that! It works now. :)

+ another one for vB 4 version please!!

[Kirschtorte]

Hallo Andreas,

ich habe nur eine kleine Frage.

In einem deiner Kommentare schriebst du zu "Multiple Options BBCode":

Anyway, I'll release an update that fixes some small issues (WYSIWYG editor, Test not wrikng in ACP, etc.)

Bezieht sich das auf vB4 oder auch auf 3.8.x?
Falls auch auf 3.8.x, zu wann kann man denn mit einem Update rechnen?

Gru?,
Andy

[sub_ubi]

Would love to have this on 4.1!
