So after 2+ hours of working on this I finally found a solution, it's not very clean as you have to edit a class file from vbulletin but such is life.

This is done with version 3.6.7 PL1

open up includes/class_bbcode_alt.php

1. Replace the second foreach loop in the `vB_BbCodeParser_Wysiwyg` function on line 82 with this code:

PHP Code:

        foreach (array('code', 'php', 'html','highlight') AS $pre_tag)
        {
            if (isset($this->tag_list['no_option']["$pre_tag"]))
            {
                $this->tag_list['no_option']["$pre_tag"]['callback'] = 'handle_preformatted_tag';
                unset($this->tag_list['no_option']["$pre_tag"]['html'], $this->tag_list['option']["$pre_tag"]['strip_space_after']);
            }

            if (isset($this->tag_list['option']["$pre_tag"]))
            {
                $this->tag_list['option']["$pre_tag"]['callback'] = 'handle_preformatted_tag';
                unset($this->tag_list['option']["$pre_tag"]['html'], $this->tag_list['option']["$pre_tag"]['strip_space_after']);
            }
        } 


2. Replace `handle_preformatted_tag` function with this code on line 179

PHP Code:

    function handle_preformatted_tag($code)
    {
        $current_tag =& $this->current_tag;

        if($current_tag['option']) {
            return "[$current_tag[name]=$current_tag[option]]" . $this->emulate_pre_tag($code) . "[/$current_tag[name]]";
        } else {
            return "[$current_tag[name]]" . $current_tag['option']. " ". $this->emulate_pre_tag($code) . "[/$current_tag[name]]";
        }
    }

Hello !

Where can i define the WIDTH of code display ?
In Firefox it looks a little bit too small -> http://www.waldbauer.com/vb/showthre...=5552#post5552

EDIT: I see the auto feature has a problem with IE, which correct size in px to use instead ?

]Hi all!

I have successfully installed Advanced Syntax Highlighting (THX Andreas) with all the modifcations read in the posts above (THX guys).

I need to fix at least one more thing: If I use the extended editor, copy paste a colored text and use the [highlight=XXX] vb Code tag the color format (and any othe format) doesn't get delete like using the [php] vb Code tag.

example:
[highlight=vb][color=red]coloredtext[/color][/highlight]
[php]coloredtext[/php]

Now i want to fix [highlight=XXX] to work like [php], because inserting preformated code nukes the text between the [highlight] tags.

However I can't find where [php] removes the other codes. Can anyone tell me where I can find this, please.

THX for help!

[Vertex [HW-F]]

]I did it! With help from vBulletin-germany I could find the line where you need to add the code.

Simply add it to the html and php keywords in functions_wysiwyg.php.

So replace:

'#\[(html|php)\]((?>[^\[]+?|(?R)|.))*\[/\\1\]#siUe',				// strip html from php tags

to (whatever your tagsname is, here I added highlight)

'#\[(html|php|highlight)\]((?>[^\[]+?|(?R)|.))*\[/\\1\]#siUe',				// strip html from php tags

	    {
	        return handle_bbcode_highlight( $parser, $code, 'ActionScript' );

	}
	
	$this->tag_list['no_option']['ActionScript'] = array(
	    'callback' => 'handle_external',
	    'strip_empty' => true,
	    'stop_parse' => true,
	    'disable_smilies' => true,
	    'disable_wordwrap' => true,
	    'strip_space_after' => 1,
	    'external_callback' => 'handle_bbcode_as'
	);

I've looked everywhere, and I can't figure out where in vb 3.5.2 the above code would be included.

EDIT: Nevermind - I fixed it. I had to add it to the XML file itself. Everything works now

:surprised:

Could anyone explain exactly how to add an [actionscript] tag please? With documented steps. The information in this thread on how-to do it are very sparse Thanks

I fixed the square bracket issue (which also happens with percentage symbols) by adding the following line to the parse_code function in geshi.php (just before "// Initialise various stuff"):

PHP Code:

$code = str_replace(array('[', ']', '%'), array('[', ']', '%'), $code); 


(Can't get the entitities to show up unparsed - the first array of replacements should be numeric entities 91, 93 and 37)

PHP Code:

    $code = str_replace(array('&#'.'91'.';', '&#'.'93'.';', '&#'.'37'.';'), array(chr(91), chr(93), chr(37) ), $code); 


works wonders.

the browser parses the characters, so the line of code i posted should work via copy & paste

Installed successfully on 3.6.8 pl2 =)
Last problem is, I want to make the [highlight=vb] to [vb]
If I try to use a custom bbcode like [vb] which replaces [highlight=vb]{param}[/highlight] it doesn`t work
Someone knows how to make this working? German/English help for me would be nice

Hi guys, I'm using vBulletin 3.70 RC3 and installed this hack. I tried to make a vB Tag and a button for the editor.
The normal code for highlighting is [highlight=vb]My VB code[/highlight], so I made a new vB Tag with the following content: [highlight=vb]{param}[/highlight]
But the problem is when I click on the button and add my text it doesnt highlight anything and just shows [highlight=vb]My Text[/highlight]
Do you know how to fix this?
