BB Code Enhancements - Import / Export BBCodes as XML files (updated by BOP5)

This mod is based on an original mod released way back in 2005 by Dream. Original mod thread: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=91435 (Marked Re-usable code.)

The purpose of this mod is to give vBulletin the much needed ability to quickly import and export BB Codes as .xml files. Imagine importing a single file rather than going through all the steps of copying & pasting code to install a new BB Code.

The original mod was a good start but it needed serious updating for vBulletin 3.8 & 4.x.

Some changes from the original mod:

• Had to change a variable name due to a conflict
• Had to add support for additional BBCode options
• Had to have the mod refresh the BBCode Cache upon upload of a new BBCode

This mod does not have any product/install XML file.

To install simply upload the two files and refresh/reload your Admin CP page. You will see the new option "Import/Export BBCodes" under "Custom BB Codes" on the side menu.

To upgrade simply overwrite the two files.

To uninstall simply delete the two files.

bbcodes_impex.php - Goes in your admincp directory
cpnav_ieb.xml - Goes in your includes/xml directory

Once installed importing and exporting of BBCodes is fairly self-explanitory.

You can only upload BBCodes saved in this specific XML style.

You can download more BBCodes in this format from:

Many more wll be added soon.

Tested and working with vBulletin 3.8.7. 4.0.8, and 4.1.5. Expected to work on all vB 3.7, 3.8, and 4.x versions.

Please Mark as Installed if you use this.

Any ideas what could be the problem? Using 4.1.0 Patch Level 2

As was said there is nothing to import. Please read the instructions.

Hello,

Great work, thank you =)

I have a question, when I was in vbulletin 3.8 I was using a background bbcode where I put image URL and it make the thread background the image, but since I upgrade to vbulletin 4 it don't work =\

And I'm tired from searching everywhere for anything concern this bbcode but can't find any clue about it =.=

Anyway the replacement code was:

<div style="width:100%; background-image:url({param});">

And still the old thread with it showing the background, anyway I hope if you can spend minutes to guide me how to fix it ^^"

Best Regards,
Sarab

Sarab,

That replacement code has no closing <div> tag... It is not valid HTML, I can't imagine it ever worked right as it is written- if it did it was probably just some browsers rendering it improperly.

However if you modified the bbcode like this-

<div style="width:100%; background-image:url({option});">{param}</div>

That would be valid/working code... You would use it like:

[divback="/path/to/image.jpg"]div contents here...[/divback]

You would need to set "Use Option" to YES in the BBCode settings.

BirdOPrey5,

I will cry of happiness T.T

It did work more then just perfect =)
but little note, the wallpaper don't show its full height unless the post contain enough lines, so can I make it independent to the lines?

I see, then maybe when it did not worked we try to fix it and ruin it more and leave it there xD

Really big thanks and I'm really grateful for helping me

Best Regards,
Sarab

You're welcome...

If the background images are all the same height you can try this code- but if they are different heights I'm not sure if that is possible with this type of code.

<div style="width:100%; height:600px; background-image:url({option});">{param}</div>

That example should make the div 600 pixels high, you can change "600" as necessary.

[Sarab]

Thanks again =)

I see, no the height differ too much because the majority of user use random image for the background xD

But it's not a big problem since only user who wright a long post use this bbcode usually =)

Very thank you for your super help =D

Best Regards
Sarab
