Editing bbcode_code

[thedvs]

I would like to get the code box, dotted lined and a certain box background color, but it seems vb4 has changed the coding.

Below is my current code, I managed to remove code: but the rest I don't understand.

<div class="bbcode_container">
	<pre class="bbcode_code"<vb:if condition="$vboptions['codemaxlines']">style="height:<vb:if condition="$blockheight<$vboptions['codemaxlines']">{vb:math {vb:raw blockheight}*{vb:stylevar mid_fontSize}+{vb:stylevar mid_fontSize}*2}<vb:else />{vb:math {vb:raw blockheight}*{vb:stylevar mid_fontSize}+{vb:stylevar mid_fontSize}}</vb:if>;"</vb:if>>{vb:raw code}</pre>
</div>

It looks like vb4 moved a lot of things to the bbcode.css template. What you could probably do is add a section to additional.css like this:

.bbcode_container {
// your CSS here
}

And override the existing CSS with whatever you want. You might also be able to copy the vb3 bbcode_code template to vb4, but you would have to update the variable references to vb4 template syntax (assuming those style variables still exist in vb4).

You can change the background color in Stylevars > bbcode > vbbcode_background_color. If you want to change the border you must edit the <pre> tag. to put in additional inline styling go all the way to the end and find the ";"

</vb:if>;"</vb:if>>{vb:raw code}</pre>

You can put additional styling between the ";" and the quote mark that follows. Alternatively you could edit whatever css template contains the bbcode_code class
