Group Similar vB Codes on the vB Code List

This is a small hack that affects the vB Code list. Currently if you add two vB Codes with the same tag but one uses {option} and one doesn't, they get shown in two different categories instead of grouped as one. An example of this is the quote vB Code, both [.quote] and [.quote="username"] are grouped together. This hack fixes that and groups similar custom vB tags together.

To install this hack, find in misc.php:

PHP Code:

         eval('$template[\'bbcodebits\'] .= "' . fetch_template('help_bbcodes_bbcode') . '";');
         eval('$template[\'bbcodelinks\'] .= "' . fetch_template('help_bbcodes_link') . '";');
      } 

and replace it with:

PHP Code:

      foreach($bbcode as $key => $value)
          {
            $temp[$key] = $value;
        }
        $bbcode_array[$bbcode['bbcodetag']][] = $temp;
      }
  
      foreach($bbcode_array as $key => $value)
      {
        unset($bbcode);
        $array = $bbcode_array[$key];
        foreach($array as $key => $value)
        {
          foreach($array[$key] as $var => $value)
          {
            $var = '_'.$var;
            $$var = $value;
          }
          $bbcode['bbcodetag'] = $_bbcodetag;
          if ($bbcode['title'] != $_title)
          {
            $bbcode['title'] .= iif($bbcode['title'],'/','').$_title;
          }
          if ($bbcode['bbcodeexplanation'] != $_bbcodeexplanation)
          {
          $bbcode['bbcodeexplanation'] .= iif($bbcode['bbcodeexplanation'],'<br />','').$_bbcodeexplanation;
          }
          $bbcode['tag'] .= iif($bbcode['tag'],'<br />','').$_tag;
         $bbcode['bbcodeexample'] .= iif($bbcode['bbcodeexample'],'<br />','').$_bbcodeexample;
          $bbcode['output'] .= iif($bbcode['output'],'<br />','').$_output;
        }
        eval('$template[\'bbcodebits\'] .= "' . fetch_template('help_bbcodes_bbcode') . '";');
        eval('$template[\'bbcodelinks\'] .= "' . fetch_template('help_bbcodes_link') . '";');
      } 

Thats all. I'll post some screenshots below.

Nice hack... but would you mind showing me how to make the smilie with sign BBCode - that's awesome!

[Giveit2u43]

upload the attached image to your images directory, and then create a new BB code with the following info.

Title: Sign

Tag: sign

Replacement:

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
	<td align="center" style="background-color: #deebff; border: 1px dashed Black; padding: 8px;"><normalfont>{param}</normalfont></td>
</tr>
<tr><td align="center">
<img src="images/sign.gif" alt="" border="0">
</td></tr>
</table>

Example:

[sign]sign test[/sign]

Description: Sign Hack

Use {option}: No

Button Image: (Optional)
