Add BBCODE in Group Description
 

This plugin will allow BBCODE in the social group description. I am hoping Jelsoft does this on their own in another version. This does just what WE NEED. The only reason I post it here is to share with others. I will not have time to support this plugin.

Install the PLUGIN file (not product). Enjoy.

This plugin was developed for Andy R from Social Knowledge and released here for others to enjoy.

any shot Jafo? :p

No, not really. Just look at a social group description, and imagine bbcode in there. :P

LOL, OK :)

good one, thank you!

Installed

THANK YOU! I finally found a use for a social group and almost had to abandon it because it required sharing links to further instruction pages in the description. :)

So, how exactly do I enable this BB code within descriptions? It seems to work within the group itself, but it won't work when viewing over all the social groups.

When you create a link, the mod works when you are looking at the description on the group home but when you look at the group list it shows up as raw code in the description. The raw code also shows in the random group box and the your groups box.

Can we get a fix?

Anyone?

It appears this mod isn't ready for prime time. Nice try but it has huge flaws and it's too bad really as it's something that's really needed. Apparently they are not going to get fixed.

wow, this is huge, can we get it working properly... also does it show all bbcode including custom? Is there any security issues with this?

Any fix for this to have the bbcode parse on group.php?
This would be very nice if yes! Anyway - Thanx for the share ;)

Jacquii.

thanks,,

Full Social Group Description BBCode Support

I stumbled upon this mod, liked the idea behind it but was disappointed at the support only being for the one area. This will enable the BBCode to work for the Description in the Group, the Category Listing and the Social Group Overview for the Random Group.

Hope you guys enjoy.

Nice share! Perhaps you should post your own thread for your enhanced modification!
I like it though - Thanx for sharing.

Jacquii.

Thank you! Worked like a charm.

Hey Dude - can you possibly share how to add the parsing for the usercp.php Subscribed Social Groups section?

Will really appreciate it!

Thanx ;)

Jacquii.

I never even thought about putting it there, I'll look into it.

Thanx!
I think that is the only spot left where the bbcode should be parsed.
Anyway - I'm really enjoying the modified hack you posted - it's quite ingenius!

Jacquii.

after installed, it is still showing me "Group Description: (BB Code is not allowed)"
:(

any idea?

It will still say that. This doesn't change the default wording there, it just actually enables it.

but I've tried to place a url.. it doesn't work :(

Finally, I'm slow... :P
this plugin won't auto parse a link for you, a is needed.
for eg:
www.yahoo.com is not working
[url] www.yahoo.com [/url ] is working

Works great. Installed it on my Health and Wellness forum!

Thanks, Null... we really shouldn't have to hack in something as basic as this manually, but what can you do... here's hoping someone over at Jelsoft finally adds it to the core.

I'm using this version of the plugin, but it appears to be placing a space and 20 in the URL that is causing it not to work correctly.

Here is the URL code I am putting in...


This is what it is actually outputting in the new browser window...

Notice that space character in the output code, any thoughts that could be causing it?

Doesnt work on 3.8.4

Yes it does.

Is there a mod like this for 4.0.5?

Hi. I have problems with extra <br />-s
For example, if description is
the mod converts it into
Any ideas?

Me too. Why it is doing that? Makes no sense...

I could fix the break issue.

You must fix the code for the group_start_postcheck hook from:
to

It would be great if there were a WYSIWYG editor on the group edit page cause lots of people dont know the codes to bbcode or are too lazy to type them out.

Does this work for 4.1 as well? I need this feature badly! :)

anyone get this to work in 4.1.7. I have tried and no luck.

Yes now that would be awesome.....

Just tested it on vBulletin v3.8.7 Patch Level 3. It didn't work for me.
