BB Code Enhancements - Neighborhood Demographics

This will change any City/State, Zip, etc to a link to Yahoo Real Estate's Neighborhood Demographics page. This was originally written by TimberFloorAu for use in Australia. It's been modified to be more universal.

For example, [citydemo]Perrysburg, OH[/citydemo] will return: Perrysburg, OH

Admin CP --> Custom BB Codes --> Add New BB Code

Example: [citydemo]Perrysburg, OH[/citydemo]

ehhh... I installed it, what the heck...

Made a little change though... I downloaded the little house icon as demohouse.png and put it in my /forums/images/misc/ directory... then I used the following modified replacement to put an image next to the link:

<a href="http://realestate.yahoo.com/neighborhoods?p={param}" target="_blank"><img src="/forums/images/misc/demohouse.png" border="0" alt="Demographics" align="absmiddle">{param}</a>

So this is not limited by country etc?
I could use an Australian postcode for example or would i need to edit the code a bit?

You should be able to use Australian postcodes. Try it and let us know.
