 [godtube]http://www.godtube.com/watch/?v={TEXT}[/godtube] 

HTML Replacement

Code: Select all

<object height="340" width="560" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.godtube.com/resource/mediaplayer/5.3/player.swf"><param name="movie" value="http://www.godtube.com/resource/mediaplayer/5.3/player.swf"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="wmode" value="opaque"><param name="flashvars" value="file=http://www.godtube.com/resource/mediaplayer/{TEXT}.file&image=http://www.godtube.com/resource/mediaplayer/{TEXT}.jpg&screencolor=000000&type=video&autostart=true&playonce=true&skin=http://www.godtube.com//resource/mediaplayer/skin/carbon/carbon.zip&logo.file=http://media.salemwebnetwork.com/godtube/theme/default/media/embed-logo.png&logo.link=http://www.godtube.com/watch/%3Fv%3D{TEXT}&logo.position=top-left&logo.hide=false&controlbar.position=over"></object>

Adjust the object Height and Width to suit your needs if you want. That size worked best on my site during testing.

Silly question, but did you create the custom BBCode via your admin panel to actually all this to work?

[kabo0m]

This is handy code for opening links in a new window
BBcode

Code: Select all

[external={URL}]{TEXT}[/external]

HTML

Code: Select all

<a href="{URL}" target="_blank">{TEXT}</a>

Help line

Code: Select all

External URL links are re-directed to a new window

This an example how you use it

Code: Select all

[external=link]link title[/external]

This code is glitchy for me as in if the url I want to open in a new window has non-simple characters it simply won't work. Simple url's do. ... I have a feeling it is because of instead of using TEXT I used SIMPLETEXT (because phpBB would not let me use TEXT due to security reasons). What other term could be used instead that would allow any link to be put in? But then I realized wait that doesn't make sense neither as the url part I have kept as URL ..

So here is what I mean:

BBCode usage:

Code: Select all

[external={URL}]{SIMPLETEXT}[/external]

HTML replacement:

Code: Select all

<a href="{URL}" target="_blank">{SIMPLETEXT}</a><img src="http://i.imgur.com/lZGnK.gif">

Help line:

Code: Select all

External URL links are re-directed to a new window [External=http://url]Go to Link[/External]

Can anybody tell me how to make this Image Resize BBcode? Thanks!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VDiFcQyzfM

Not sure how he did it but I was thinking that should not be too hard and I didn't see anyone answer you and I was wondering myself. So I made my first attempt at this (as I am new to phpBB except for helping another admin run his site because of a spam problem) and I tested it and it works for me:

BBCode usage:

Code: Select all

[imgw={NUMBER}]{URL}[/imgw]

HTML replacement:

Code: Select all

<img width="{NUMBER}" src="{URL}">

Help line:

Code: Select all

Image Width: [imgw=460]http://i.imgur.com/eALWN.gif[/imgw]

Please feel free to improve on this as this was my first attempt and I don't know how to make the button say something better other than imgw= without effecting the code.

I wouldnt even bother with doing it that way. There are plenty of image resize mods that will resize images automatically then you can click the images to view them full size. I use an image resizing mod on all of my forums and its alot easier. I think so anyways.

Here is an awesome one - http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... &t=1083005

First, using {TEXT} where indicated shouldn't cause a security warning. I just tried it on my board and didn't get one.

Second, have you tried one of the "glitchy" URLs with the standard phpBB URL tag? Does it correctly go to the URL entered? Regardless, you might want to post one of the URLs here so we can see it. That's what the problem seems to be, not the BBCode itself.

Another thing to try is putting both the EXTERNAL and URL BBCodes in a post with the same URL, doing a Preview, and then viewing the source in your browser. See if the HTML still shows both URLs correctly.

I did both the EXTERNAL and URL BBCodes in a post with the same URL but I didn't think of viewing the source. That is a good idea. I had just taken out the code and gave up on it. Will have to put it back in to get a copy of the output I get. But what was happening is the bbc would just show up as if it wasn't a code at all but just text and the link between it. It wasn't clickable at all. Doing it normal was fine.

Okay I checked and I did leave it in since it is a test forum.

This time when I did a test it actually blanked out my post .. so I made the first link normal and the 2 others external ..

Here is an image to show you what I see:

Oh .. is it because the text I am putting where it says simpletext has other characters in it? Is that why it isn't working?

I had small links working yesterday but today even a test link to google isn't working and I don't know why. Looking at the source revealed nothing ..

Okay I think I am onto something there .. what should I use instead of simpletext? Identifier??

would really find table code handy for my forum
if possible.

{TEXT}

That will NOT cause the security problem. (The security concern is if {TEXT} is inside an HTML tag, like in an attribute, not between starting and ending tags.)

It's definitely possible -- see my table tags.

I'd be shocked if some haven't been posted in this topic already.
