BB Code Enhancements - Borgs' [BB Code] Pack For vB 4.0.2+

Borgs' [BB Code] Pack For vB 4.0.2+

This is an update to the BB codes mod called Borgs' [BB Code] Pack - Signs, User, Divider, Search Tags, Float Images, which can be found here:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=103257

Kudos to borgs8472 for the original mod and for his permission to get these updated for vBulletin 4.0.+

I have made tweaks to most of the codes to make them a bit nicer from the originals and I have added a some new ones.

Two codes are not included with this update:

• The "user" BB Code is not here because vBulletin has made a major change to the URL to member profiles. You can't get to a profile by just using a member's name any longer. I'm currently looking for a work-around for this.
• The "100" BB Code is no longer needed as vBulletin now has built-in image resizing, with lightbox.

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 you see '-->>' in the instructions, this is to show you an example of the output of using the code. Do not copy that data into your bbcode form. Also, the BB codes holding signs are transparent so they should work with most backgrounds.

I have tested these in Firefox & Internet Explorer and vBulletin version 4.0.2pl1. These should work with earlier version of vBulletin, your mileage may vary.

All images in the images folder in the attached "Borgs BB Codes.zip" file go into /images/borgs_bbcode/ under your Forums root folder.

You need to put the images in the correct directory.

Right-click on those words and select Copy Image Location (if you're using Firefox) and paste it into the address bar. That will tell you where it is expecting to find the image.

[sulasno]

the images are in the correct directory
/forum/images/borgs_bbcode

all the other images are working alright

have tried changing the name of the s-tag.gif to s_tag.gif, ss_tag.gif to no avail

Thanks a lot, been looking for custom BB codes.

There's a typo in the first sign url:

images/borgs_bbcodes/s-tag.gif

shoud be

images/borgs_bbcode/s-tag.gif

and the Glow button is missing from the Zip file

Other than that, A+

[denman75]

having problems in firefox ,with glow and strike
for the rest thumbs up !

edit was my bad ,its working great tnx alot

[madotds]

Thank you very much! I am loving the glow text effect in my chat box

1 bug maybe with this or maybe with vsa chatbox, I am not sure. The scrolling text tag does not scroll in the chatbox within firefox but it does within google chrome. Any idea?

Mark

Edit: ok it would appear that the text does scroll for a few seconds on a page refresh untill the chatbox goes into an idol state. but this only happens on firefox not on google.

Yes, I haven't updated the zip yet.

I'm working on another BB code but I had finished the button for that one and decided to go ahead and update the post with it.

When I'm done with the next code I'll update the zip.

In the mean time y'all can snap the image from the instructions.

I'll fix that typo too now too.

Thanks for the heads up
