Shield-Smilie as BB-Code without Hacking!
 

All cried for this... OK. Noe I release it herer too.

No Hacking required for this.

Take the following Image and following BBCode:

Title: Schield

Tag: schield (or whatever you want)

Replacement:



Use Option: No

Works on vB2 and vB3

If you want more than one Image use the Option tag and name the Images to schield1.gif etc. and use Filepath shield{option}.gif

Than call with [ schield=1]test[/shield]

I attached a Smilie.

Have fun.

very nice no problems

edit: You have a idea to built a button in the wysiwyg editor ?

in vB3 just add a graphic.
in vB2 i have no Idea.

Great, Installed, Thanks!!

Nice hack :) Good Work

What does it do? :)

You write a message in between [schield=1]test[/shield] and it shows a little smile with a banner with your custom message :D

replace 'test' with the what you want on the banner but it isnt installed on vBT so it wont work here.

Here is a Screenshot how it could be shown up in your Post.

You also can change the colors you want to. Just set them in the Style-Tag to something you want.

In this shield the Users cal also use any other BB-Code to make very customs shields.

Hehe cool :) can you add another smile in the banner box?

I have posted in the first post how to use different Smilies for the Banner. Juts user option.

Too cool. :)

Very Nice! :)

I dig this one. thanx

You could extend this to have a textured background on the banner as well -

Very nice mod ! Thanks, my users love it !

Very cool! Thank you.

odd....bbcode is on, but it's not working for me

If you have options turned off you don't need the "=1" part of the command.

Yes. Remove the =1 in the Sample or add the fully functionality for more than one Smilie I described. Then you must use "option".

So, just out of curiousity :D ....... what are some example smilies that you guys & gals are using other than the one provided?

that did it, thanks

This two are of danasoft.com seem to work fine with this bbcode. :D :p

I am definitely loving this!!!

Just neat! Thank you for sharing this. :)

I guess I'm dumb today.... I'm having problems with the options coding. What exactly is it.... I have several images to add and they are showing up but it's for some reason showing every image under the once chosen.

I have:

<option>path to smilie.gif</option>

Anyway, what exactly is the code I'd use for 20 different smilies? an example of 2 would do..... ;) Thanks!

Ok..... Never mind this one.....I got it figured out.....Now if I can figure out the font color part to default to black, bold, and comic sans ms.....

btw..... at http://stormchat.com/ubbthreads you can see an example of another smilie generator or "Panel Generator" as it's called there.

Log in as "test" password "test" and reply to a message... Not using quick reply... Use the actual reply button. Then look at the smilies and click on "Panel Generator". Think anyone could code this to work with VB??

For some reason it won't lemme edit that post to make part of it bold...... How about some help here? What code can I add and where can I place it so that the font is comic sans ms, bold, and the color is blue or black? I've tried about everything and no luck...... Anyone?

Far out!
That panel generator r0x0rs...!!

Use any BB-Code inside the shield like [b] and any other you like. Other Smilies, etc.

The Panel Generator ist not m< choice, because it generates Images, I think it will the same work like in the wbb2 Hack, so every Panel ist new created while visiting the Thread. The Performance for this is very High!

Maybe I might look for a way to build a HTML Panel on this way, but in the Moment I have no time for such nice2have features. ;)

Actually, the images are created on the fly and it uses no more queries than the vbcode trick not to mention it's really easy for our computer challenged folks.... lol Let's hope we can get it working with VB....... :D

No more Querys, yeah. But during my teste the image creation was really slow if you have Many Images into one Thread. And mostly this is used in Sugnatures, so it is on every site.

I only tell you what I figured out on my Board. ;)

The image is only created once and stored on the server..... Sorry for the confusion.... And they aren't created in sigs.... Also, you can limit the groups so only the donating members were able to use it when that board was operational........ :D

OK, than thats new and very better. ;)

This is just brilliant! Kudos to you!

very kool .. installed!

I'll say it again, nice hack/share/whatever you want to call it.

As far as changing the color of the font, etc. I use dark and light styles on my site, so I made the background clear

if you want to change the font to bold, blue, comic sans:

Ok I am confused... Does the Shield-Smilie BB-Code create the images on the fly each time someone opens the thread/post? If so I am not sure I want to install this.. :(

VenomX,

No, it doesn't create the images on the fly. What it does is create a table with the text that the person typed in with a border and then the single image is centered at the buttom of the table to give the illusion that it's a graphic smilie created on the fly.

Kevin

Thank you for this hack, I will use it...

Edit: a little tip... To have the banner centered with the smiley... Simply put a blank space on its left. The size must be the same size of the smiley (excluding the banner/arm). I attach an example... I think it's better... It gives also automaticaly a minimal size of banner :)
