Limiting bbcode font sizes

I'm looking for a way to limit bbcode font sizes in 3.8.x. I don't want to disable bbcode font size completely. But, I'd like to allow a maximum of size "4." Here's what I've tried so far:

Removed the options 5-7 for the editor. But, users can still add the higher sizes manually.
Removed (and tried just changing size of) the cases in the vbulletin_textedit.js file
Added replacement variables (ex. [SIZE="7"] to [SIZE="4"]
Searched vb.org for suggestions or mods (There's nothing for 3.8.x that I can find. There seem to be a couple for 3.0 and earlier but they are in the archive and I can't even download them.)

But, so far, nothing has worked on my test board. Does anybody have a method? Or any ideas as to why what I've tried isn't working?

Thanks :D

I was pretty sure it was in vbulletin_textedit.js. Exactly what did you change in there?

You could always use replacement variables:
Find: <font size="7">
Replace with: <font size="1">

(Punish those that try to go around the system. :D )

In the textedit.js I tried both changing the font sizes for the 5-7 cases to the size for case 4 and removing cases 5-7 completely. Here is what it's like now (starting at line 2078):

PHP Code:


		
			
    /**

            * Translate CSS fontSize to HTML Font Size

            */

            this.translate_fontsize = function(csssize)

            {

                switch (csssize)

                {

                    case '7.5pt':

                    case '10px': return 1;

                    case '10pt': return 2;

                    case '12pt': return 3;

                    case '14pt': return 4;

                    default:     return '';

                }

            }



            /**

            * Apply Format

            */

As for replacement variables, I was trying bbcode not html. Maybe that's why it didn't work? I'll try html too.

Thanks :D

You need to use html in the replacement variables. If you look in the source code, it actually says "<font size="7">"

Maybe in the file, instead of deleting the lines for the various cases, just return 1 and see what happens. ie:

PHP Code:


		
			
case"14pt":return 4;
case"18pt":return 1;
case"24pt":return 1;
case"36pt":return 1;
default:return"

No luck on the textedit.js. But the replacement variable thing worked with html tags instead. Thanks. :D

Will the replacement variable effect anything else other than the bbcode? Like I used a 7pt or 7px font somewhere in a skin? I haven't noticed anything yet, I'm just wondering for future reference.

The replacement variables will effect the entire site. However, I don't know that <font size="7"> (or 6 or 5) is used anywhere else in default vbulletin (try a search in your templates to see), so I think it will only effect your posts. If you are worried about it though, you would write a little plugin that just does a str_replace in the posts for those terms.

The replacement variables are fine for now. But that sounds like a nice little project to get my feet wet in coding a plug myself.

Thanks again :D

I know this is a 3-year bump, but I'm hopefully adding something useful...

I've been needing this for a while myself. Like the OP, I'd tried a number of things, and none quite worked. This thread was helpful (filled in the gaps), but I had to read it several times over, because it didn't make a lot of sense in chronological order. I write a lot of guides, mostly as notes to myself, and I put one together for this: How to Change bbcode font sizes in vBulletin

In addition to simply changing or removing sizes, you can also add some styling with the replacement variables, by inserting divs. I like to add a margin of at least 5-10px before the larger fonts, because they tend to be used as subheadings. I mentioned that in the guide, and I wanted to add it here, too.

I also did not find any font size="7" (4,5,6) tags in templates or in my mods/plugins. However keep that last one in mind -- plugins and mods. Because I do know of some that have size references. I don't think "size=number" is valid HTML, which is why it won't be in any themes.

Thanks, Lynne and mme24. :)
