 Posted: Sat Jan 12, 2008 12:28 am Post subject: More BBCode Support |
 |
|
Its been a problem in PhpBB for.... ever, but I have gotten used to it. You may want to look into a way to support more BBCode, such as:
The Ruler:
The Email Link:
The FTP Link:
The Text Orientation Codes:
| Code: | | [right][/right][center][/center][left][/left] |
The Preformated Text Code:
The Marqee Code:
Although, I suppose if you know HTML, you can solve that problem rather easly:
| Code: | | <pre></pre><center></center>... |
Perhaps a tutorial on how to use HTML in posts? My main suggestion is that there be a button for it, but with with us computer geeks hope, there is no way to do this

I suppose you didn't do any lookup prior to this post.
Those BBCodes are added through MODs. If you are used to it, you are probably used to using a MODDed phpBB forum.
And if you don't know, phpBB3 is out and it's a matter of time before we upgrade. phpBB3 allows custom BBCodes to be added through the Admin Control Panel.

Yes, I know that those BBCodes are added through mods, I was just suggesting that you add one of the mods. As for the other statement, thats cool, I knew phpBB3 was out, but I did not know that it had that feature. That is one of the reasons I am here. I want to open a phpBB forum and play w/ phpBB, but no other host will really work with phpBB, but I know l2p does because a friend of mine, m0ose, goes through you guys. Also, sorry for droning on and on in the suggestions section!

very true, although that also makes the [url][/url] pointless...

No, it doesn't. The "url" tag has the ability to created named links.
As for the rest of the BBCodes, there is usually a reason why they are not included.
[ email ] would just be a haven for email harvesters to spam you, unless the BBCode is combined with some obfuscation techniques.
[ pre ] is almost the same [ code ]
[ hr ] would rarely be used, maybe use some hyphens if there is a need for a separator though I can hardly see a need for it in forum posts
[ center/right ] has little purpose, maybe for some poems but that is about it
[ move ] would just be outright annoying |

The URL BBCode allows the URL enclosed to work.
If you specify a URL followed by a full-stop (http://yourdomain.com.), the dot gets included in the URL, making it invalid.
By enclosing it in the URL tag, you can add a full-stop behind the URL without worrying about making the link invalid, for example http://yourdomain.com.
