BB Code Enhancements - Jigzone.com BB Code - Embed Puzzles in your forums - (BBCode)

Jigzone.com is a free website where you can upload photos and make jigsaw puzzles out of them. These puzzles can then be embedded into your forum using this BB Code, like you would a YouTube video.

Jigzone offers many options in terms of how to embed the puzzle and in how many pieces (and what shaped pieces) your photo should be broken into. For simplicity's sake I have hard coded this BB Code as a traditional 20 piece jigsaw. I will explain what needs to be changed for other options.

After being embedded users will have options to change the shape and number of pieces from the options that will appear to the left of the puzzle.

Example:[puzzle]5F14EE77238[[/puzzle]
Description: Embedded Puzzles powered by www.jigzone.com.
Use Option: No
Button Image: (optional)
Remove Tag If Empty: Yes
All Disable Options: Yes

------
This code makes a 20 piece classic shaped jigsaw puzzle. The part of code that decides this is the part: &z=6

6 = 20 piece classic jigsaw
0 = 48 piece classic jigsaw
5 = 6 piece classic (too easy!)
18 = 41 pieces "Tetris" Blocks
30 = 154 piece classic (Hard!)
34 = 240 piece squares (Weird!)
33 = 247 piece triangles (Crazy!)

For a complete list make a puzzle at Jigzone and play with the options, look at the embed code to see how the number after "z=" changes to see what number corresponds to your preferred puzzle.
------

To make one you need to sign up for an account at www.jigzone.com and upload a photo or image. You will then be given link and embed codes. Go to the first link code it will look something like:

<a href="http://www.jigzone.com/puzzles/5F14EE77238?z=0&amp;m=AE250BFF3C.930EFB0"><img src="http://www.jigzone.com/im/pCut/0.png" alt="Click to Mix and Solve" style="width:400px;height:300px;margin:4px;padding:0;border:1px solid #999;background:transparent url(http://www.jigzone.com/puz/zemThumb?p.up.M.U5.P0.32u0i:jpg)"/></a>

The number you need is from the line: http://www.jigzone.com/puzzles/5F14EE77238?z=0&m=AE250BFF3C.930EFB0">
All you need is the puzzle code, in this case: 5F14EE77238

You put the "Puzzle Code" in between the "puzzle" tags:
[puzzle]5F14EE77238[/puzzle]

As the embed code uses JavaScript you may need to reload the page after submitting to see the puzzle, and of course you must have JavaScript enabled. If you don't have JS enabled you'll get a link to the puzzle instead.

I have hard coded the initial options as a 20 piece classic jigsaw but before you start the puzzle you can use the options on the left to change the shape and number of pieces to your liking.

-----

Notice: The 'puzzle code' must be entered exactly as it is from the link code provided, including the fact it MUST be in UPPERCASE- CE14EEB7547 for example...
If you have "Prevent Shouting" enabled you will have to disable it-
VBulletin Options -> Message Posting and Editing Options -> Prevent Shouting

Please mark as installed if you use this.

If anyone prefers this the AME mod instead of a BB Code this is the definition.

The URL you use is the one that it in the address bar when you choose "Open Puzzle" on Jigzone.

Neither the original or the AME code works for me. The original keeps showing a completely different picture, no matter which browser I use, and the AME plugin just shows the link and not the puzzle within the post.

Edit: False alarm...the AME code works perfectly, I'd just added the wrong link, sorry!

If the BB Code is showing the wrong picture you probably have the "Prevent Shouting" option in vBulletin Options turned on... this won't let too many capital letters be put in a post next to each other BECAUSE IT THINKS SOMEONE IS TYPING WITH CAPS LOCK ON. If you turn off this option it should work fine. This code is sensitive to the different case of the letters.

Ok, thanks. Great mod, by the way!

[BirdOPrey5]

Thanks. :up: I do a "Puzzle of the Day" every day on my forum and a lot of members who I never would have expected even cared about puzzles enjoy it... we all post our best times for each puzzle.

nice add on, it will be nice if this can be used with more administrative options, like displaying, who solved successfully first as it could be used for some forum contests too
