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.

------
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.

To change the default number of pieces change the 2 instances of "4x4" to higher numbers like "5x5" or "6x6".

[MagicThemeParks]

Is that for the new code from jigsawsite.com?

[BirdOPrey5]

Yes, sorry, I updated my post on the jigsawsite.com code...

[MagicThemeParks]

Cool. Yes, the jigsawsite.com code works. Check this thread for the 2nd post for example: http://www.waltdisneyboards.com/fun-...re-puzzle.html

[BirdOPrey5]

Eureka!!!

On your site the embedded code is all lowercase, ce14eeb7547.... on my site it's all uppercase... CE14EEB7547 - and it has to be uppercase to work...

Now the question is why is it lower case on your board- if you didn't type it in in lower case then it may be a plugin changing it to lower case... I know VBSEO has an option to convert all URL's to lowercase, 99% of the time this is a good idea, but this is one of those cases where it's a bad idea.

[MagicThemeParks]

Is there a way to exclude it from the option vBSEO has for this?

[BirdOPrey5]

I don't have VBSEO so I don't know how it works, but I do remember a thread where someone else had this problem and was told he could disable this behavior in VBSEO options... you may need to check with them if you don't know how- wish I could help but I've never even seen VBSEO.

[MagicThemeParks]

Nope, not vBSEO, but I adjusted the "prevent shouting" to 0 (to disable it) and it worked

There is an option in your VBulletin Options - Message Posting and Editing Options - Prevent Shouting

Thanks, will update the first post.
