Custom BBC tags idea

'ello everyone!

I'm constantly thinking of new things to add to my forum and my latest idea is as follows..

a member can use [strain] [/strain] tags
inside the tags a member would type a strain of cannabis. (e.g. Blueberry)
the outcome would be a the word Blueberry as a link to www.leaf.ly/indica/blueberry( about that strain provided by Leaf.ly)

(and if the strain wasn't found, it was left as plain text)

I have had a look at the leaf.ly site and found the following for developers and their api usage..

I understand the basics of how it would work but am nowhere near comfortable coding this myself..

If this is even possible, I planned using this MOD (below) to implement it, but I think it would require a few files to be written...

Let me know what you think and if it's even possible!
Thank you!

So like the glossary mod then?

Ooh, I never knew about that MOD!
Yes, something similar or a way to use leaf.ly's database as my glossary if that makes any sense? :P

That would likely have to be a custom piece of development and honestly I'd expect you to have to pay for that, but you could implement the glossary yourself without too much effort... (just time on your part in setting up the definitions)

Thanks for the reply Arantor!

Re-thinking it, it wouldn't be the greatest idea as it would most likely send a lot of traffic to leaf.ly when I'd like to keep them on my site :P

- I think if I do implement this sort of thing, I will do it with the glossary mod you suggested!


Thank you again!
