BBCode - Let me Google that for you

The following is a piece of rather silly and pointless BBCode, however it is rather funny. Although I take no responsibility if your forum members start to argue as a result of it

Anyway, today I came across this site:

http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/

In summary, this is one of those joke websites that is aimed at those people that "don't know" how to use Google. You enter a search string, the site gives you a URL and you can then use that on forums etc etc.

This BBCode allows your members to easily create "Let me google that for you" links in posts. To do this your users would enter:

Quote:

[google]whatever phrase needs Googling[/google]

This will display a clickable link the the LMGTFY page for that phrase.

To create the BBCode goto:

ACP -> Custom BB Codes -> Add New BB Code

Then enter the following:

Title : Let me Google that for you
BB Code Tag Name : google

Replacement :

Code:

<a href="http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q={param}" target="_new">Let me Google &quot;{param}&quot; for you</a>

Example : [google]vbulletin forum[/google]
Description : For those who don't know how to use Google
Use {option} : No
Button Image (Optional) : leave blank *
Remove Tag If Empty : Yes
Disable BB Code Within This BB Code : Yes
Disable Smilies Within This BB Code : Yes
Disable Word Wrapping Within This BB Code : No

* If you want you can specify a button image as this will allow you to put the BBCode onto the post editor window.

This BBCode should work for all recent versions of vBulletin

anyone have a png transparent google logo?

Edit, that logo posted above gets resized. 50px × 21px (scaled to 21px × 20px)

something to note, does anyone have one in the correct size that is transparent?

Sigh, just went and made this myself.... didn't realize you had made it.

Good work, comes in handy answering obvious questions.

nice job man
I had emailed the guy's that own that site at one point, if I talk to them again I'll let them know the vB community is supporting them too

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
