The Arcive of Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

Various Unusual BB Code (and Definition List) · **Released**: 06-22-2007

This modification is not a modification in the sense it requires actual template modifications, but nor is it an add on product in that it uses what is already in vBulletin, as in the BB code manager. This is simply a collection of BB code for features not found online often, and that use standards compliant, semantic code to add curious codes that may come in handy sometimes.

Updates:

1.9- Thanks to a contributor, I added editor buttons for most BB codes.1.8- Added strike through BB code.
1.7- Added a new code (definition) which looks awesome.
1.6- Tried a new code (Internet Explorer only, see post 3.

1.5- Updated Definition List codes. New one allows infinite child items and is perfectly XHTML valid. Also has bold headings.

1.4- Added glossary link code and blink code (plus instructions on how to block blinking text in Firefox

1.3- Forgot to add css for overline in second post.

1.2- Added some other sites to the search link code

1.1- Added horizontal rule and Spoiler code

1.0- Release BB Code

Support:

None needed

Notes:

Works in any version with custom BB code as an option. Tested in vBulletin 3.6.4, 3.6.5, 3.6.6 and 3.6.7 PL1.

Definition List

This allows users to insert a definition list in their posts, and when used with the definition entry BB code, has a wide range of uses.

Code to use:

Code:

[Definition]

Replacement:

Code:

<dl>{param}</dl>

Example:

Code:

[Definition][Defineobject=PHP]A scripting language used for interactive features such as forums online[/Defineobject][/Definition]

Description:

Use this to insert the definition titles and actual definitions.

Definition Entry (only use with definition list)

Code to use:

Code:

Defineobject

Replacement:

Code:

<dt><b>{option}</b></dt>
<dd>{param}</dd>

Example:

Code:

[Defineobject=PHP]A scripting language used for interactive features such as forums online[/Defineobject]

Description:

Use this to add more definitions to a definition list.

Heading

Use this to add heading tags of types 1 to 6 in posts. Semantic titles without using bold formatting or italics and that show the level of heading to screen readers and the like.

Tag:

Code:

Replacement:

Code:

<h{option}>{param}</h{option}>

Example:

Code:

[h=1]This is a heading[/h]

Description:

Use this to insert a semantically correct heading into the document by modifying the text you want made into a bold, large heading. This is good semantics for headings in guides and FAQs.

Google Search:

Use this to link to Google for the specified term. I also attached a modified one which replaces Google with Ask Jeeves. Can also be used for any search engine online if you know how to edit the code.

Tag:

For Wikipedia, use this for the replacement:

Code:

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/{param}">{param}</a>

To use Lycos, use this for a replacement:

Code:

<a href="http://search.lycos.com/?query={param}&x=0&y=0">{param}</a>

To use Yahoo, use this as a replacement:

Code:

Nice never thought of something like this. It would be nice if the definitions code linked to the glossary hack

PoetJA-1975 · #6 06-24-2007, 03:33 AM

Nice = Thanx

Can you give an example of the glossary hack in action on someone's forum? Because if it uses, or can be equipped with anchors in any way, this would be extremely easy to do.

cheat-master30 · #8 06-24-2007, 05:12 PM

This modification has been updated with two new BB codes, one is for spoilers, the other horizontal lines in posts.
