Acronym Mod

[X-Ception]

This was a mod for phpBB what it basically does is allow you ( via admincp ) to add acronyms to a little list with a short explanation of what it meant

i.e brb - be right back
SMF - Simple Machines Forums - http://www.simplemachines.org

and when a user posted it would then create a hover over that displayed the explanation so SMF would display as SMF and on mouse over would show

Simple Machines Forums - http://www.simplemachines.org

.. i hope at least some of that makes sense :/

p.s
love the spell checker

Well, I'm not sure but afaik this isn't hard to do, e.g. with the word censor .

I think the censor is a cool way to have certain words sponsored as well.

Like having the word Motorcycle link to hondas website automatically

Im sure on the right forum people would pay good money to own certain words posted by users

You can see it if you quote me:

Thank you

[huijaa]

If i see it works:-

BBC

don't work at my forum. I only see tagscode, how do i do?

Only problem is when they use an acroynm in a post title.  It doesn't work too well with the censor

[[Unknown]]

Why not?  You can instruct the censor to replace a word with HTML.

-[Unknown]

[Thantos]

Well that would explain it then   I was replacing with BBC.

Of course the biggest problem would be if you allowed users to turn off censoring and they did they wouldn't see the nifty acronyms.

[slightly off topic]

The word censor has some other great applications. I use it to automatically correct the many misspellings of the word 'design'. But then, I probably need to get out more.

HCYIU?

On this board the word is underlined.

K. Viewing this forum with Firefox and testing site with IE. I'll set it up in the CSS

Same problem here!! 

[[Unknown]]

You must have it in the list of disabled bbc, then?

[acronym=bulletin board code]bbc[/acronym]

[Dudelsack]

It works for me, unless i quote somebody or edit a thread, than i see the tagcodes too

[127.0.0.1]

Well, I'm not sure but afaik this isn't hard to do, e.g. with the word censor .

-[Unknown]

How'd you do that exactly? The afaik thing. Very cool.

If you look at it while quoting, you'll see .

[JayBachatero]

i think there should be some type of button for this i didnt kno about this till now.

[Dudelsack]

a button?
acronyms are not for publics

ohh iight

[Cerberus]

That's great! I remember that we couldn't use BB code in censor with YaBB SE

[Cerberus]

hmm.. is there a way to apply CSS to acronyms?
Acronyms on my board aren't underlined like here

[Dudelsack]

Another Question:
I have a "News"-Board in I link the Newsthreads via SSI.
And when i link them via SSI, the acronyms won't work,

I see only the BBCode in SSI, but in the board I see the acronym

[niko]

Code Select Expand


acronym {
   font-size: 1px;
}


CSS for changng font-size

[buf]

Why not?  You can instruct the censor to replace a word with HTML.

-[Unknown]

And how do I go about doing that? I've tried both [acronym bbc tags and <acronym html tags, and everytime I get an error somewhere, either on the topic title, the recent posts list on the index or the quick reply box on the bottom of every topic.

Edit: is there a way to use it only on the message body?

Hi,

Following Unknown suggestion, I am using word censor to make the acronyms work on member's posts.

The problem is the full code is seen when acronym is used in the topic titles.

Anyway to make it work in topic titles also? or anyway to make it work ONLY in posts?

Thanks.

[JayBachatero]

Please search for this.  It has been asked a couple of times.

[fiver]

Hi Jay,

Thanks for your reply. I did search "acronym topic" and can't find the answer except this thread. So I thought I'll post the question here. Could you help pls?

Thanks.

[JayBachatero]

Ok I got confused about your question before I was half awake at that time.

You can not use bbc tags in the topic fields.
Take a look at the title for this specific post.

What I was thinking was about using them keywords that trigger an advertisement link. 

[fiver]

 

I have preset in Word Censor to replace acronyms, for example when members type HS, and it will be replace by

Code Select Expand

[b][color=green][acronym=Heavenly stem]HS[/acronym][/color][/b].

The propblem is when member type HS in the title, it looks like this
http://www.fivearts.net/index.php/board,15.0.html

I was hoping someone can suggest some changes to files to make the Acronym Tag, or even bbc code, to work in topic title.

Is there other way to use acronym without going through Word Censor? That will be the solution.

[JayBachatero]

You can try this.
Keyword links in posts, but not subject line

[Sheepy]

If bbc works in title, then the gateway to hell would be opened... imagine flying topics in 48 fonts, or even title in flash.  Your users can make a christmas tree on board index with it.

But yes this (autolink/acron) is a popular request.  Well, php is not that hard to learn, is it?

[en_shua]

Why not?  You can instruct the censor to replace a word with HTML.

-[Unknown]

Okay, I've tried the below in the right side of the censor, but it didn't work.  What am I doing wrong?

Code Select Expand

<acronym title="replacement">words</acronym>

Thanks

[JayBachatero]

Try using BBC tags instead.

[en_shua]

On the left side of the arrow, I enter replaceme.  On the right hand side of the arrow, I enter

Code Select Expand

[acronym=thisword]replaceme[/acronym]

When I create a new topic, and type replaceme the topic displays

Code Select Expand

[acronym=thisword]replaceme[/acronym]

Any more ideas?

[JayBachatero]

Is this on the body or subject field?

[en_shua]

body

[JayBachatero]

It should work in the body field.  Check to see that you enabled the use of this tag.  Admin > Posts and TOpics > BBC Settings.

[en_shua]

It's enabled, and if I type the acronym tag in the body, then what I just typed shows up properly.  I just can't get it to work through the censor.

[shazoo!]

ahhh this is fantastic.  I was hoping I could do something like this

Thanks for this thread!!
