Well no one else will start a bbcode archive, so I'll do it myself!

I love bbcodes, bits of HTML joy that are often really lacking a most fora. I have made several in my time, some I have seen mentioned in passing at vb.org but never pinned down so I'm going to do these myself!

All of the following codes are added in your admincp under:
Custom BB Codes -> BB Code Manager -> Add New BB Code
or
Custom BB Codes -> Add New BB Code

Where I have typed '-->>' this is to show you an example of the output of using the code. Do not copy that data into your bbcode form.

All tags are tested in IE and Firefox - none of these 'IE only' rubbish tags

Credit to the following sign tags (well at least the first one) goes out to Hoffi in this thread which appeared ages ago when there was a separate vbtemplates site.

The following code is done by replacement variables. Go to style manager in your admincp, on the drop down box of your parent most style, choose 'Replacement Variables' Select 'Add New Replacement Variable'

Quote:

HORIZONTAL DIVIDER

Search for Text: ---
Replacement:

Code:

<hr>

Example:
[hr]whatever[/hr]
Button Image (Optional): Not yet created (would require a little custom coding too)

This is a very useful tag I made for my forum. What it does it takes a large image, e.g. a wallpaper or screenshot and stretches it to take up 100% of the avalible width. It then makes the image a link to the full version.

This stops the syndrome where you'd have either loads of oversized images, or loads of links. Also since the full version is loaded first time, when you click the link the full image loads instantly

Quote:

100 TAG

Title: 100
Tag: 100
Replacement:

Code:

<a href="{param}"><img width="100%" src="{param}" border="0"></a>

Example: [100]<path to image here>[/100] here's a thread on my forum where you can see it in action
Description: An image taking up 100% of the width of the page, click for full version
Use {option}: No
Button Image: not created

Only problem with this system as it stands is that it will occasionally make large images larger for people viewing on a very large resolution which can potentially make an image worse to look at. There are no plans to fix this yet as it would a totally different hack otherwise beyond my capabilities.

Another great benefit of this is it eliminates the moderator/administrator effort to police images that are too wide for people's screens, wrap this code and you'll never have that problem.

I might release 'variations' on this theme if people like. For example the hyperlink to full version may prevent other hyperlinks which may be a problem in some cases so you might use a version without the <a href... but I'm sure people can figure this out for yourselves.

You might want to use alternative tags like [largeimage] or [wide] or [fit] or something rather than [100]. I chose [100] because it's short, and it reminds me it fits the image to 100% width whatever happens. See attachment for what this looks like.

Well that's all folks. Get back to me on any mistakes if you want. This post took a long time to prepare as you might imagine!

If you install any of these tags, please click install

USER Tag does not work since 3.6.10 any Update?

Digital Jedi · #**153** 04-30-2008, 08:38 AM

That's weird. I notice it's working fine at vB.com. And their on 3.7.0.

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/membe...Digital%20Jedi

TimberFloorAu · #**154** 05-29-2008, 06:12 AM

Usertag works fine for us.

We are on 3.7

Ozzy

shlomot · #**155** 06-06-2008, 06:07 AM

Thanks a lot for your creative and time consuming job here.

1. Please post your valuable contribution on the v3.7x board. It works perfectly there, but most members won't look under the v3.6x posts any more

2. I recommend to add some padding to the image-left and image-right codes, as follow:

Image Left [imgl]:

Code:

<div style="float: left; padding-right: 8px;">[img]{param}[/img]</div>

Image Right Float [imgr]:

Code:

<div style="float: right; padding-left: 8px;">[img]{param}[/img]</div>

Examples can be viewed in the news section here.

Thanks again.

greenspan · #**156** 07-27-2009, 03:02 AM

Thanks for the strikethrough ^_^

Hey Borg!

Can you update this for vB 4.0+

It sorta works but the new attachment system seems to mess it up a bit.

Thanks!
