BBcode page with explanations

[Francisco]

 It would be really nice to have a link like vB forums have with a page explaining all BBcodes that can be used and the output it will make, with an example.

Also, if there can be a Link type of Name and you click on "Name" which is an hyperlink and that takes you to the site, instead of intruducing full URL like with this code: yayaya.com

Yes, but is there a link on action=post?

Like:

Code Select Expand

[url=http://yayaya.com]Name[/url]

As explained by the BBC Reference?

So you've posted a screenshot of your SMF with a bit of vB pasted in?

Yes...

That's the feature I'm talking about, I did it so you could get the idea (sort of) of what I mean

[Peter Duggan]

Adding the links should be a trivial template change and displaying the rules to match the user permissions shouldn't be too hard, but I'm afraid I'm *really* busy ATM and will have to leave it to someone else to explain if you want to try modding this in.

It's not needed for right now, but it would be a great feature for SMF v1.2 (after the official release)

Maybe you could simply add a link to this BBCodes reference.

In your /Themes/<your theme>/Post.template.php, search for (~ line 718)

Code Select Expand

// I guess it's a divider...
else
echo '<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/bbc/divider.gif" alt="|" style="margin: 0 3px 0 3px;" />';
}

echo '
</td>
</tr>';


Add this after:

Code Select Expand

        // Show a link to BBCodes' reference
        echo '<tr><td colspan="2" class="smalltext" style="text-align: center;"><a href="./Themes/default/help/posting.english.html#bbcref" target="_blank">How do I use BBCodes tags ?</a></tr></td>';

You will get something like this:

 Cool, thanks
