New BB tag to do rainbow text... · **Released**: 01-07-2003

This is a fairly simple hack that allows you to create a new BB tag to do
rainbow colors with text. It is only a few lines and the only file affected
by it is admin/functions.php.

You can see a sample output in this thread: http://www.ls1.com/forums/showthread...hreadid=225576

Note1: This hack has been done and tested on VB 2.2.9
Note2: Using other BB tags within the rainbow tags will convert the underlying HTML code in to rainbow text.

Note3: You can find the revised and BB code friendly version in this post

Note4: You can find the version that displays the full spectrum of colors in this post.

I'm interested. Send it up, sir.

Will they still make the rainbow wider as you add more text or will it start the rainbow effect over again after so much text? The second option would actually be better, if it can be done, that is.

It widens as your text gets longer.

I will release the hack.

Barret · #52 01-14-2003, 06:54 PM

Zzed,
We are waiting man. Glad you are helping with this.
Thanks in advance.

Zzed · #53 01-14-2003, 08:42 PM

Here is the version with the full spectrum of colors.

This is what the output of the tag looks like: http://www.ls1.com/forums/showthread...59#post2190859

Enjoy

You are the greatest and I am pleased to be the first to thank you.

Thank you for your kind words.

Zzed, I couldn't do the new version with the following line:

PHP Code:


			
$bbcode=str_replace("{", "{", $bbcode); // stop people posting replacements in their posts

Because my line for that is this:

PHP Code:


			
// $bbcode=str_replace("{", "{", $bbcode); // stop people posting replacements in their posts

because of another hack. I just changed the "// ###################### Startdorainbow #######################" part and left the first part from version 1 in there instead. It seems to work.

LOL, Look at Post #52 in this thread.

I did some fine tweaking on the scripts and merged both scripts a little and now it looks awsome:
You can see it in action in here
original script:

Quote:

// ###################### Startdorainbow #######################
function dorainbow($code) {
$textlen = 0;
$tag = 0;
$len = strlen($code);

for($x = 0;$x < $len;$x++) {
if(substr($code,$x,1) == "\\") {
continue;
}
if($tag == 0) {
if(substr($code,$x,1) == "<") {
$tag = 1;
}
else {
$textlen++;
}
}
else {
if(substr($code,$x,1) == ">") {
$tag = 0;
}
}
}

$buffer = "<table><tr><td bgcolor=\"#000000\">";
$slice = $textlen / 6;
$step = 255 / $slice;
$index = 0;
$R = 255;
$G = 0;
$B = 0;
$section = 0;
$count = 0;
for($x = 0;$x < $len;$x++) {
if(substr($code,$x,1) == "\\") {
continue;
}
if($tag == 0) {
if(substr($code,$x,1) == "<") {
$buffer .= substr($code,$x,1);
$tag = 1;
}
else {
if($section == 0) {
$Rx = 0;
$Gx = $step;
$Bx = 0;
} else if ($section == 1) {
$Rx = (-1) * $step;
$Gx = 0;
$Bx = 0;
} else if ($section == 2) {
$Rx = 0;
$Gx = 0;
$Bx = $step;
} else if ($section == 3) {
$Rx = 0;
$Gx = (-1) * $step;
$Bx = 0;
} else if ($section == 4) {
$Rx = $step;
$Gx = 0;
$Bx = $step;
} else {
$Rx = 0;
$Gx = 0;
$Bx = (-1) * $step;
}
$count++;
if($count > $slice) {
$section++;
$count = 0;
}
$R += $Rx;
$G += $Gx;
$B += $Bx;
$R = iif($R > 255, 255, $R);
$R = iif($R < 0, 0, $R);
$G = iif($G > 255, 255, $G);
$G = iif($G < 0, 0, $G);
$B = iif($B > 255, 255, $B);
$B = iif($B < 0, 0, $B);
$color = sprintf("#%02X%02X%02X", $R, $G, $B);
$buffer .= "<font color=\"$color\">";
$buffer .= substr($code,$x,1);
$buffer .= "</font>";
$index++;
}
}
else {
if(substr($code,$x,1) == ">") {
$tag = 0;
}
$buffer .= substr($code,$x,1);
}
}
$buffer .= "</td></tr></table>";

return($buffer);

Replace it with:

Boofo · #60 01-18-2003, 07:51 AM

LOL That was already done (with a little less glow effect, which looks better) in the beginning of the thread. What else was changed, maybe I missed it?

Areku · #61 01-18-2003, 10:21 AM

The one with glow effect at the beginning of the thread was NOT having the full spectrum of colours

Thanks Jack!
