Blockquote BBC not working after upgrading to 2.x

[SimpleJoe]

Hello, a forum upgraded from version 1 to version 2 and the BBC for [blockquote] no longer formats the text and simply prints [blockquote] instead. What code for highlighting a paragraphs should users use instead, and is there some way to convert those over? Or is something else going on here?

thanks,
Joe

That's because when you upgraded, the bbc would have been removed. You will need to reinstall the mod.

To my knowledge, which may well be inomplete, [blockquote] has never existed, unless you have a mod, that does that.

It's [quote][/quote]

Or, have I misunderstood?

Ninjad!

[Arantor]

Yup, it's added by a mod

I'd kinda decided that. But, as I wasn't sure, I had to admit it, now, didn't I?

[SimpleJoe]

that makes sense, thanks I'll try that next!

[kat]

I'll mark this "Solved", then.

Good luck!

Well I've worked some more with this and have searched the mod site but cannot find custom BBC options with the [blockquote] tag supported.

Any ideas which mod would do this? Or is there a mod that can create custom BBC that works with version 2.x.


thanks,
Joe

it looks like the custombbcode mod is for 1.1.x only.

you could manually create a blockquote bbcode  -- that looks to be your best option, at this point.

Code (in Subs.php find:) Select Expand


      array(
        'tag' => 'quote',
        'before' => '<div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">' . $txt['quote'] . '</div></div><blockquote>',
        'after' => '</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>',
        'block_level' => true,
      ),



add before

Code Select Expand


      array(
        'tag' => 'blockquote',
        'before' => '<blockquote>',
        'after' => '</blockquote>',
        'block_level' => true,
      ),


you will probably also want to add a blockquote.gif image in your custom themes' images/bbc directories.

Worked like a charm, thank you very much!
