Custom BBCode - How does it work ?

[Dr.Death]

How does the actual CVS Custom BBCode work ?

I test it with this settings:

BBCode Usage:

[custom]{TEXT}[/custom]

HTML replacement:

<a href="http://www.my-domain.com/test.php?cmd={TEXT}">{TEXT}</a>

The new BBCode Button "custom" is shown on the posting page, but is not beeing parsed in the posting.

Or did i something missunderstand, how it works ?

[code reader]

currently the custom bbcode feature is broken, so the simple answer to the question "how does it work?" is: "right now, it doesnt".

[Dr.Death]

btw, it works now

I just wish when you add a button to the posting window it would capitalize the first letter of the button like the built-in BBcodes do.

It's really easy to use. If you want to center text, you can use this:

Code: Select all

[center]{TEXT}[/center]

and this replacement

Code: Select all

<div align="center">{TEXT}</div>

All you need to do is to match up the tokens -- thse stuff between the { and }

ok, tha's what I figured.

so what languages and technologies can we use? is it restricted to HTML or can we use other, more....exotic, things?

also can we use something like this for custom profile fields too? the enter the text but it puts it in a thing and can display something in the profile?

and can we make these custom fields viewable under the persons avatar on the topic pages?

I doubt it, but I'm curious nonetheless.

It should just replace the variable. I havent checked the code yet.
Javascript should be fine.

It would be cool if you could set permissions on who gets to use the custom codes
