By C?dric Claerhout and Calorie


-Description-

This modification allows you to have new looks for quote, code, phg and html bbcodes. The installation is automatic ; the setup is very easy.


-Features-

• Five news looks for bbcodes in order to enhance your messages : Light bbcode set ; Dark bbcode set ; Pastel bbcode set ; Simple bbcode set and Simple bbcode with transparency b/g. Configure this sets according to your styles. If you forget or don't want to specify a set for a style, it will use the defaut vB display.
• GIF or PNG formats available for pictures. Autodetect IE 6 function to use gif extension for this browser. In order to work efficiently the Cached Posts Lifespan must be set to 0 in vB options
• This hack works with vBa CMPS : it uses special templates to avoid to break the front page. The detection is automatic (since 1.31 version).
• You can configure : the left margin of bbcode, the color and the size of text.
• You can set a link to quoted user profile. It creates a clickable link between the person's username being quoted and her profile.
• Mono or double bubbles for simple quote bbcode | special behaviour for quotes of light, dark and pastel sets.

-Installation-

1. Upload "bbcodemanager" pictures directory in vBulletin images directory : /forums/images/
2. Import the product xml file
3. Configure the mod in vBulletin options -> "BBcode templates manager"

-14/08/2006 : version 1.30 released thanks to Calorie : the installation is now fully automatic ; you just have to upload product file and that's all (no need to edit php file anymore) ; the english translation is also better thanks to Calorie.
-07/08/2006 : version 1.23 released ; new options available : Link to profil, Left margin, Text color and some Special behaviour for quotes of light, dark and pastel sets. Text color problem for some styles corrected. To update, just import xml product file and upload pictures (there are new ones)

-12/07/2006 : version 1.2 released ; new installation procedure ; many big problems corrected ; html code of new bbodes templates updated ; tested and validated XHTML
-03/07/2006 : now you can config several style ids

-Important-

• To update from 1.30 just import the product file
• To uninstall version 1.1 or version 1.2, you have to follow a specific procedure described in the archive.
  
  
• [s]To avoid display problems, i strongly advice you to set the "Code Block Width" (available in you style options) to 100%. If you prefer pixels, choose a little value ; especually if you're using legacy postbit. Never enter "auto" otherwise it won't work.[/s]
  The "Code Block Width" must be in pixels Otherwise there are too numerous problems. So forget my advice to put a value in %. It must be in pixels. In 800x600 there is a display problem, but it's the same thing with vb default templates. So i guess we can't do anything.
• If the text display doesn't suite you, you can do easily what you want. Just turn off the "CSS BBcode text" module and create the CSS : .bbcode
  Do it on your own : you won't be helped for this.

This modification is available in french on vBulletin-fr.org
This french forum is acting against vB piracy

Thanks for this

[Scooterpig]

New version working fine thank you very much..

Another option you could add in future version if possible is to show the text inside the bbcode box in bold...

Yes, the zip archive, the zip file... is my english so bad ? :knockedout:.

For the bold option, i don't think i'm going to do it. You can easily edit the product file and add bold tags.

Nice Thanks

Update installed and this has fixed my text color issue on dark styles. Thanks for the changes. Great mod.

How can I increase font size of the text?

[cavyspirit]

Create a new user-defined class in your css file.

Here's mine:

.quotefont {
font-size: 15px;
}

Change the BBcode template to quotefont from smallfont where it refers to the actual message. I also removed the italics because some the referenced text was in italics for a reason, and putting the whole message in italics when it's referenced loses some of the readability.

You COULD also add bold BUT, personally, I would advise against it as some of your referenced text would be bold for a reason and you would lose that.

Thanks for your time...Do I have to change the original bbcode_quote or the brand new bbcode_quote_xxxxx added by this mod?

I changed the new versions that I use or might use. In my case, light and dark.

Hi cclaerhout, I reworked some code from your mod so that no PHP file edits are needed. Let me know if it's okay for me to post the product XML file.
