A custom [command] code

[Logikos]

I was just thinking about this when i released one of my hacks. What about having a custom BB code or command like [install], and when that is called in a thread it will show the install button of that style. I noticed there isn't a way to show the correct install button when the user is viewing the thread. Just thought it would be a good idea. I'm sure the built in replacements feature would come handy for this.

Yeah this would be a really nice idea

Wonder what the admins think about this ^^

They're still thinking ^^

Ok, it's not that hard, but the question is: is it really needed, as the install button is on to of the thread as well?

You know, /me's the bad guy as a puristic admin ^^

[MrNase]

Sure it is.. Now you have to post, find out the threadid, edit it and insert the install button

[Xenon]

hmm, in my threads the installbutton is there without needing an edit ^^

Its not a dying need, but either is HOTM. It would just be a nice little addon to the site to help others, and be more of a convenice to coders.

I don't see a install button: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/newthread...newthread&f=35

Once the thread is posted, i have to grab the link url, and the image url, and then edit the thread to add the code [url][img] ect...

Plus if your using the smooth blue style and i add the install image to the style im using, then it looks out of place, would be rather nice to have it like this:

User places "{install}" and then that will call the threadid for the install URL, and then it would call the correct install button for the style that person viewing is using.

Tal;king about inline in the post created by the thread starter: to place an easy install button inline in the thread rather than having to scroll to the top or bottom to "install"

Thats a great idea!!, I see alot of people using the hack but they don't click the install button, maybe there to lazy to scroll up or w/e. Doing that will give the install feature much more needed attention to newbies. Good thinking Natch

Cheers TBH I was trying to clarify what you meant ... so I thought it was your idea, and I was just re-phrasing it

So good idea yourself
