[disable] vB Code

This was requested a couple of days ago. Very simple but pretty useful for most boards.

With this hack you can use vB Code without having to escape it, add asterisks, spaces, etc. All you need to do is surround the vB Code with the new [disable] tag, like this:
[disable][disable]Tsk tsk...[/disable][/disable]
Which becomes:
[disable]Tsk tsk...[/disable]
And you can even nest the tags:
[disable][disable][disable]Tsk tsk...[/disable][/disable][/disable]

The tag name is also configured in the hack, so you can change it if you want (by default it is disable).

This hack has been updated and now it is -- or at least I'd like to this it is -- perfect.

Enjoy.

Hack updated! I know I said I won't, but today I had a great idea to fix it -- so I did.

Read the first post for more info.

Ok, it looks like I'm going to have to be the one who's the dummy on this one. What does this actually do? And where would I use it? Could someone show an example in here? Please?

Let's say you want to explain your users how to use the [code] tag.

You tell them, use it like this:

My code;

But alas -- it's parsed.

So you put [disable] around it, like this:
[disable]

My code;

[/disable]

I think I get it. Instead of taking the ending close tag and doing it in the code box, it just does it in the message without a box now so you can see both tags like I have it here right? And it only works for vb code? Is there a way to get it to work for PHP code too? (Am I even close on this one?)

FireFly, I have this hack installed as well as your new "Attached Images Elsewhere" hack installed but I cannot get this to disable the [ attachment ] code.

Is there a way to do this as well?

Thanks!

[Admin]

Nope, since [attachment] is not a real vB Code.

Very useful hack, thanks.
