-Version 1.32- Works vB 3.6 -vB 3.5 (special xml file inside zip)
********************************************* By C?dric Claerhout and Calorie
-Description-
This modification allows you to have new looks for quote, code, phg and html bbcodes. The installation is automatic ; the setup is very easy.
-Features-
Five news looks for bbcodes in order to enhance your messages : Light bbcode set ; Dark bbcode set ; Pastel bbcode set ; Simple bbcode set and Simple bbcode with transparency b/g. Configure this sets according to your styles. If you forget or don't want to specify a set for a style, it will use the defaut vB display.
GIF or PNG formats available for pictures. Autodetect IE 6 function to use gif extension for this browser. In order to work efficiently the Cached Posts Lifespan must be set to 0 in vB options
This hack works with vBa CMPS : it uses special templates to avoid to break the front page. The detection is automatic (since 1.31 version).
You can configure : the left margin of bbcode, the color and the size of text.
You can set a link to quoted user profile. It creates a clickable link between the person's username being quoted and her profile.
Mono or double bubbles for simple quote bbcode | special behaviour for quotes of light, dark and pastel sets.
-Installation-
Upload "bbcodemanager" pictures directory in vBulletin images directory : /forums/images/
Import the product xml file
Configure the mod in vBulletin options -> "BBcode templates manager"

-Important-
To update from 1.30 just import the product file
To uninstall version 1.1 or version 1.2, you have to follow a specific procedure described in the archive.
[s]To avoid display problems, i strongly advice you to set the "Code Block Width" (available in you style options) to 100%. If you prefer pixels, choose a little value ; especually if you're using legacy postbit. Never enter "auto" otherwise it won't work.[/s]
The "Code Block Width" must be in pixels Otherwise there are too numerous problems. So forget my advice to put a value in %. It must be in pixels. In 800x600 there is a display problem, but it's the same thing with vb default templates. So i guess we can't do anything.
If the text display doesn't suite you, you can do easily what you want. Just turn off the "CSS BBcode text" module and create the CSS : .bbcode
Do it on your own : you won't be helped for this.

@Smoothie: yes, in that it parses on the fly, but try the following. Import the attached via ACP -> Plugins & Products -> Download / Upload Plugins, reset cached post lifespan, and rebuild post cache. A couple caveats about the attached: untested and GIF is forced as end user browser is unknown.
Hi calorie,
Where in the admin cp is the rebuild post cache function? And what do you mean that GIF is forced as an end user browser is unknown?
I noticed a slight problem, not sure if it's on my end or not. I have vBa Option - All Forums set to no and below that I have vBa Option - Forum IDs set to one forum. However the new look quote appears in all forums....
Try setting 'vBa Option' to yes, 'vBa Option - All Forums' to no, and enter the forum ID in the 'vBa Option - Forum IDs' setting. For 'Rebuild Post Cache' go to ACP -> Maintenance -> Update Counters -> Rebuild Post Cache, but you'll only see it if 'Cached Posts Lifespan' is not zero.
Oh, and GIF is forced because it's the admin who rebuilds post cache, via the admin's browser, but not everyone has the same browser as the admin, so to avoid any IE/PNG issues, GIF is forced.

vBa Option set to yes?
Quote:
vBa Option = Choose yes if you want to use a special vBadvanced bbcode set in the first message of a topic.
It's hard for me to say exactly, as I don't use vBa CMPS, but try 'vBa Option' as no and then rebuild post cache.
I don't use vBAdvanced either. Something in the settings isn't working right. I have it set to no for all forums and have specified a single forum to allow it. When I post in the forum that I have allowed, it works fine. When i post in the other forums which aren't allowed, it still works with the new style quote.
Unless I'm reading this wrong, the new style quote should only appear in the forum I have sepcified, not in any of the others.
Without vBa installed, then 'vBa Option' and 'vBa Option - All Forums' should be no and 'vBa Option - Forum IDs' should be blank. There isn't an option to set the new style quotes on a per forum basis, but it's possible by editing the 'Cache and Variables' plugin:
Code:
if (!empty($bbcode_intersect_array) AND $forumid == 5)

Haha! Ya know, that's my bad. I'm a dummy. I didn't read any of that vBa stuff correctly. It didn't sink in until just now when you mentioned vBa installed.
