3.0.5?
Thats a pretty old Version ...
Anyway, if you are able to find out how you did that - let me know :)

Update for Beta 3
The Code has partly changed in Beta 3, this Hack does not fully work any longer (well, it does - but the Code to search for has changed a bit).
As there are new possibilities in Beta 3, it's a Plugin now :)

Looks like the code to find has been changed again on RC 1. ;)

Are you planning on Porting this mod to RC1 and on until the Gold release, Kirby?

Andreas

This is a Plugin ... ?

Per your fisrt post in this thread:

Andreas

28 Jul 2005, 07:35

Yes. So what are you talking about "Looks like the code to find has been changed again on RC 1"?
There is no Code to search for.

Scratch that. I didn't see the two sets of instuctions in the readme file. My goof. Sorry. ;)

Hi
As there are new possibilities in Beta 3, it's a Plugin now
I have just installed this via the upload plugin panel but it has no effect (I tried with your example of box) on vb2.5 RC3. in fact the page just shows (the source code)

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------

Is this plugin ok for 3.5 RC3?

First, you have a ";" too much, but 2nd, even without, I get just the text and not box nor red text (3.5 RC2)

utw-Mephisto

14 Sep 2005, 17:10

edit

Ok, I got it working, but the box goes over the whole page and not just around the text ;(

Andreas

14 Sep 2005, 17:17

That's what div is supposed to do :)

try using the bbcode on a post ... for some reason the bbcode manager is not displaying the outcome on my end (maybe the same thing is happening to you)*

* I've been having this problem even before I tried this plugin.

As I said, I got it working above (yepp, I just did not see it in the manager).

Looks like the code changed alot in vb3.5 gold?

Looks like they took out the str_replace?

Installing now, hope it works!

Edit: It works very well, thank you for your time and effort.

Kirby(sorry but I gotta call you that) I think I would need this hack in order to properley code this into one BBCode

http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_option.asp

How might I code this in the add BBCode section?

Thanks again Kirby.

Xplorer4x4

03 Nov 2005, 06:38

Also can you add a third screen shot to show the outcome of your tags as I think your example may be the code I need.

Just take a look at the screenshots, it's pretty straight-forward.

This hack is working very well except in vBa CMPS. All {option X} values are not filled when the html code is read.

lightwave

27 Feb 2006, 21:07

:eek: I waited for this since I know what BBCodes are... I'm SO grateful Andreas. *hammers the Install link*
Finally I can use some fancy BBcode stuff x3 (I assume it works with javascript too?).

does this work on 3.6.x? i can't seem to find anything like it anywhere...

C Braithwaite

03 Dec 2006, 11:38

what is the format for the bbcode? is mytag=opt1;op2 .. or mytag=opt1 opt2

etc etc ?

sub_ubi

30 Mar 2007, 01:27

The format is mytag=opt1|opt2|opt3

This works fine on 3.6.x

However, it's not compatible with PHP5. If you use it on a server with php5 you will get this error:

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /includes/class_bbcode.php(2341) : eval()'d code on line 7

To make it compatible with PHP5, go to your plugin manager and in,
bbcode_fetch_tags
replace
$replace = array_merge($param, explode('|', $options));

with

$replace = array_merge((array)$param, (array)explode('|', $options));

and it will work fine.

I tried to install the plugin on my 3.6.8 test forum; as I'm running on 5.X php I've applied the fix sub_ubi reported, but doesn't work. {option1} {option2} are not resolved :(

scarex80

10 Sep 2007, 12:53

Up?

Andreas

19 Sep 2007, 13:41

Except for the array_merge() bug already reported it works fine with PHP 5 and vBulletin 3.6.X

scarex80

19 Sep 2007, 22:22

Nothing, I've tried also on a 3.6.7 I import the xml plugin file contained in the zip, I applied the fix for php5 but my custom bbcode

prova

with this function of test

{option1}<sup>{param}</sup>{option2} produce this

{option1}prova{option2}, with prova obviously formatted as sup html tag.

21 Mar 2008, 05:34

Does this work on 3.7 RC1?

ancient cries

23 Apr 2008, 17:33

I'd love to use this one! But I'm running on 3.6.8... any plans on making it compatible with other versions??

vgevolution

26 May 2008, 22:47

This might break the editor images for bbcodes that use options.

Here's the error in the console:

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------

Any fix for this, or am I looking at the wrong code? I did remove the plugins, and I'm still having the problem, so it might not be this addon.

Andreas

02 May 2009, 12:53

Except for the array_merge() bug (which has already been mentionened and had a pathch posted) this does work with 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8 - just tested it with 3.8.2 - not that bad for code that is almost 4 years old :)

Anyway, I'll release an update that fixes some small issues (WYSIWYG editor, Test not wrikng in ACP, etc.)

Anyway, I'll release an update that fixes some small issues (WYSIWYG editor, Test not wrikng in ACP, etc.)Just thought I'd give a little nudge on this, if you have time.. :up:

Possibly with vBadvanced CMPS support too, please (earlier reported not working)? ^__^;
