This MOD adds the ability to create custom BBCode for your forum.  It will show up as a tab in "Features and Options".

To add a button to a custom tag, enable the "Add button" option for the tag, and upload tagname.gif (where "tagname" is the tag name) in the Themes/default/images/bbc directory.  The image should be a 23 x 22 GIF with transparent background.

As always, I'm open to feedback and improvement ideas.


Changelog:

2.00 (Feb 04, 2007)
- Major rewrite.
- New settings interface.
- Support for parsing inside tags (nested tags).
- Support for different tags with the same name.
- Some other smaller stuff.

1.02 (Jan 12, 2007)
- Fixed bug from 1.01 where buttons didn't close some tags.

1.01 (Jan 12, 2007)
- Button support.

1.00 (Jan 10, 2007)
- Initial release.

Thank you Sarke,
First of all I like to say that I had no problems with the installation of the MOD.
Secondly this is a very useful MOD.  :)

I like to see the possibility for another {option} e.g. height="{option1}" width="{option2}"

I'm having a bit of trouble with your latest version installing into SMF 1.1.2.

I have it installed and it is working correctly save for 2 problems.

when creating a new BBCode

First in the it is using the Tag Name to both identify the tag and and gets put in the [ ] area.  So if I put "test" in the Tag Name box on my post reply screen it generates [test][/test] and ignores the HTML replacement.

Second issue is I have a gif file in my Themes/default/images/bbc directory by the name of test.gif but it isn't showing up at all in the Post Reply box.

Example: (I have this one created)
Tag Name: test
Description: Red Text
Tag Type: [tag]content[/tag]
Parsing enclosed BBCode: (no parsing)
Trim whitespace: (no trim)
Blocklevel: Unchecked
HTML used for this tag:  <font color=red>{content}</font>

When I save that on the custom BBCode list I see:
TagBBCodeEnabledButtonDelete
Test[test]{content}[/test]checkedcheckedunchecked

Then on my post reply screen when creating a reply I see a broken link for a box and if I hover over the broken link I get "Red Text" and when I click it in the dialog box I get [test][/test]

Sarke

WifiGamer, are you using the default theme?  And it doesn't show the red text even after the post has been submitted?

WifiGamer

No I'm using another theme.  I did figure it out.  I realized why it says Test in the tags.  And I'm not sure why it didn't work the first time I moved the test.gif file into the */bbc directory of my theme that I'm using but it's showing up now?

Strange.  anyhow.. thank you for you response and sorry for the confusion.

This is what I get for modifying the board late at night.

Sarke

The image problem might have been because you put it in the default theme by mistake, or a browser caching issue.

The first one I'm not sure, maybe you forgot to enable the tag? :P

You'll need to switch to English, or translate the mod's language tags in Modifications.english.php

Do you get anything when you go to index.php?action=featuresettings;sa=custombbc

My MODs          Please don't PM me for support, post in the appropriate topic.

Resident Geek

Nope. All I get is the Features and Settings screen... without the Custom BBC Code. It's a real bummer too. I really would like to use this Mod.

The mod was never installed for some reason then... try again.

Another mod is probably interfering with it.

I've tried again, and I had the same thing happen.
No errors, but there is no new section none the less.

I'm not sure why this is, it only happens to some people.  It's probably another mod that is interfering with it.

Looks like there's a bug in SMF as well that says it installs when infact it does.

I'm not sure why this is happening, because I can't reproduce the problem for myself because it works fine on a default install.  Maybe if you both post which mods you have installed and we can see which ones are common to both.


Try installing it manually using: http://modparser.dev.dansoftaustralia.net/
