[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.

Chen,

What do we need to change to update this hack to work with the slashes problem we found in the other thread?

[Admin]

Nothing, this has nothing to do with that.

[Boofo]

DOHH!! I forgot which thread I was in. Sorry about that.

Here you go.

In vbcode_language.js find

----------
php_text = "Insert text with PHP syntax highlighting";
----------

After that add

----------
disable_text = "Insert DISABLE vBcode tag into your message";
----------

In vbcode_buttons template find

----------
<input type="button" class="bginput" value="PHP" title="PHP CODE" onclick="vbcode(this.form,'PHP','')" onmouseover="stat('php')">
----------

After that add

----------
<input type="button" class="bginput" value="DISABLE" title="DISABLE VBCODE" onclick="vbcode(this.form,'DISABLE','')" onmouseover="stat('disable')">
--------

Very useful hack, but how can I go about adding a button along with the others up top (when posting and private messaging) to use this "disable" code.

Thanks for the great hack, FireFly.

Y'know, 8 times out of 10, when I get worried because I need a hack that couldn't possibly exist (because such a hack would make my life just too darn easy!) a search of the Hacks database reveals that someone has already created it. And the person who's created the hack is almost always Chen.

You, sir, rock. A simple but extremely handy little hacklet.
