Various Unusual BB Code (and Definition List)

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:

Code:

[Definition]

Replacement:

Code:

<dl>{param}</dl>

Example:

Code:

[Definition][Defineobject=PHP]A scripting language used for interactive features such as forums online[/Defineobject][/Definition]

Description:

Use this to insert the definition titles and actual definitions.

Definition Entry (only use with definition list)

Code to use:

Code:

Defineobject

Replacement:

Code:

<dt><b>{option}</b></dt>

<dd>{param}</dd>

Example:

Code:

[Defineobject=PHP]A scripting language used for interactive features such as forums online[/Defineobject]

Description:

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:

Code:

h

Replacement:

Code:

<h{option}>{param}</h{option}>

Example:

Code:

[h=1]This is a heading[/h]

Description:

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:

Code:

<a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q={param}">{param}</a>

Example:

Code:

[google]Nintendo[/google]

To use with Ask Jeeves, use this replacement for the replacement part in BB code manager:

Code:

<a href="http://uk.ask.com/web?q={param}">{param}</a>

For Wikipedia, use this for the replacement:

Code:

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/{param}">{param}</a>

To use Lycos, use this for a replacement:

Code:

<a href="http://search.lycos.com/?query={param}&x=0&y=0">{param}</a>

To use Yahoo, use this as a replacement:

Code:

<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:

Code:

<a href="http://web.archive.org/web/*/{param}">{param}</a>

You can use each one as a different code if you wish.

Nice never thought of something like this. It would be nice if the definitions code linked to the glossary hack

Nice = Thanx ;)

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.

This modification has been updated with two new BB codes, one is for spoilers, the other horizontal lines in posts.

Can you take screenshots?

Yes, very easily. I can probably take screenshots now.

Certainly use my test forum www.isosdcftp.com username test pass test

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.

That would be just fine as well. Anything that makes the users lives easier is always a hit

Okay, I may be able to do this. See next post.

Code:

<a href="glossary.php?do=listglossary&c=1&ltr={param}&pp=0">{param}</a>

Try that. Whatever letter they enter between the tags it links to the glossary section for.

Updated Definition List code. Much easier to use. Perfectly valid. Also has bold headings.

2 more BB codes added to third post.

Sorry to bump this, but added an amazing new definition code partly in response to someone asking for it in Modifications forum and me already having and using it at my own forum.

Definition

Tag:

def

Replacement:

Code:
<dfn title="{option}">{param}</dfn>
Add in CSS:

Code:
dfn {font-weight: bold; background: gold; cursor: help; }
Example:

Code:
[def=A popular games company]Nintendo[/def]
Description:

Use to post definitions, without a list, in your posts or signatures.

someone has icons for those bbcodes??

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

Code:

Title:

TVAnts



Tag: 

tvants



Code:

<object classid="clsid:4C833081-D026-4FF8-968F-7EAB660D2FBA" id="TvantsX" CODEBASE=" http://download.tvants.com/pub/tvant...rsion=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]tvants://www.tvants.com/tvants/?k=b3d4e2448970cd7f[/tvants]

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

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.

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:
[aolvideo]http://your-url/stream1.asx[/aolvideo]

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:

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...

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/

I'll hunt down the site I used it on...

The .js consists of this:

Code:

if(typeof deconcept == "undefined") var deconcept = new Object();

if(typeof deconcept.util == "undefined") deconcept.util = new Object();

if(typeof deconcept.SWFObjectUtil == "undefined") deconcept.SWFObjectUtil = new Object();

deconcept.SWFObject = function(swf, id, w, h, ver, c, quality, xiRedirectUrl, redirectUrl, detectKey) {

        if (!document.getElementById) { return; }

        this.DETECT_KEY = detectKey ? detectKey : 'detectflash';

        this.skipDetect = deconcept.util.getRequestParameter(this.DETECT_KEY);

        this.params = new Object();

        this.variables = new Object();

        this.attributes = new Array();

        if(swf) { this.setAttribute('swf', swf); }

        if(id) { this.setAttribute('id', id); }

        if(w) { this.setAttribute('width', w); }

        if(h) { this.setAttribute('height', h); }

        if(ver) { this.setAttribute('version', new deconcept.PlayerVersion(ver.toString().split("."))); }

        this.installedVer = deconcept.SWFObjectUtil.getPlayerVersion();

        if (!window.opera && document.all && this.installedVer.major > 7) {

                // only add the onunload cleanup if the Flash Player version supports External Interface and we are in IE

                deconcept.SWFObject.doPrepUnload = true;

        }

        if(c) { this.addParam('bgcolor', c); }

        var q = quality ? quality : 'high';

        this.addParam('quality', q);

        this.setAttribute('useExpressInstall', false);

        this.setAttribute('doExpressInstall', false);

        var xir = (xiRedirectUrl) ? xiRedirectUrl : window.location;

        this.setAttribute('xiRedirectUrl', xir);

        this.setAttribute('redirectUrl', '');

        if(redirectUrl) { this.setAttribute('redirectUrl', redirectUrl); }

}

This goes in the head

  on error resume next

  Dim swControl, swVersion

  swVersion = 0

  if (IsObject(swControl)) then

    swVersion = swControl.GetVariable("$version")

  end if

  VBGetSwfVer = swVersion

End Function

// -->

    </script>

the embed is this:

Code:

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:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ighlight=table

I use it myself.

Here are some cool ones I put on my board:

Background Image

Code:

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: [bgimg=urltoimage]Message[/bgimg]

Puts an image in the background of the text.

Border

Code:

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: [border=outset]Message[/border]

Puts a border around the message. Options: dotted, dashed, solid, double, groove, ridge, inset, outset

Hover

Code:

Tag: hover



Replacement:

<span onmouseover="this.innerHTML='{option}'" onmouseout="this.innerHTML='{param}'">{param}</span>



Example: [hover=Hovering]Hover[/hover]

Changes the text when you hover the mouse over it.

Click

Code:

Tag: click



Replacement:

<span onclick="this.innerHTML='{option}'" onmouseout="this.innerHTML='{param}'">{param}</span>



Example: [click=Clicked]Click[/click]

Changes the text when you click it.

Hold

Code:

Tag: hold



Replacement:

<span onmousedown="this.innerHTML='{option}'" onmouseup="this.innerHTML='{param}'">{param}</span>



Example: [hold=Holding]Hold[/hold]

Changes the text when you click and hold down on it.

Hide

Code:

Tag: hide



Replacement:

<!--{param}-->



Example: [hide]Hide[/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

Code:

<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.
