BB Code Enhancements - [BBCode] Let me Google that for you

What does this BBCode?

Do you know all the annoying questions? A user is asking things like "Where can I find a picture of a cat sitting on a dog????"
And you just think: "Well why the hell are u not googleing for that?

Well if you bother writing an answer which could look like this
[LMGTFY=cat sitting on a dog]Was that so difficult?![/LMGTFY]

And that results in the following link:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=cat sitting on a dog

Than you should add this small BBCode.

(To be honest with you guys, its more for fun than for usage)

How To:
1. Upload the attached image into the folder via ftp:
[forum_root]/images/editor/

2.Create a new BBCode in your ACP with the following settings:
Title:LMGTFY
BB-Code-Tag:LMGTFY
Code:

<a href="http://lmgtfy.com/?q={option}" target="_blank" ref="nofollow">{param}</a>

Example:[LMGTFY=birds]Catch it[/LMGTFY]
Description: Creates a link for the website "Let me google that for you"
Use {option}: YES!!!!
Picture: /images/editor/lmgtfy.png
Activate the next 4 options ( Check YES )
Disable the last one: ( Check NO )

Thats it! Enjoy and have fun!

Works fine, changed the code a tad.

<a href="http://lmgtfy.com?q={param}" target="_blank">{param}</a>

what does use option do, exactly? what's the dif between having it set to yes or no?

The differnece is that you can write a link name and have actually another link parameter.

For example you could write something like this:

[LMGTFY=what the person was looking for]Dont forget google my friend!!!![/LMGTFY]

You see> but with setting it to no it would like this
[LMGTFY=what the person was looking for]what the person was looking for[/LMGTFY]

I personally prefer the first versions, thats why i wrote it like that! But basically thats the whole difference
