the reason that the word(s) you are using disappear when you use this code is that the html is not designed to show the identifier. try changing your html replacement code to -

Code: Select all

<a id="{IDENTIFIER}">{IDENTIFIER}</a>
or, without making changes, when using the anchor code, enter your post text around it as if it is not even there.

Code: Select all

this is a post with [anchor]iwanttolinkbacktoherelater[/anchor]an anchor in it.
hope this helps. :)
please do not PM me to ask for help. thanks.

If thier was it would probably be removed from display on this forum as it would be a security risk.

The suggested code for embedding Google Video doesn't work.

I'm using the following (identical to what's in the opening post).

Code: Select all

[googlevid]http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-{NUMBER}[/googlevid]

Code: Select all

<embed style="width:400px; height:326px;" id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId={NUMBER}&hl=en" flashvars=""></embed>
I then make the following post:

Code: Select all

[googlevid]http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=-7787399591926700697&hl=en&fs=true[/googlevid]
Only the text appears -- no video. :(

Re: Custom BBCodes - Template Button

Post by artiprinted »

Now this is a weird request. but. I want one of the bb code buttons to insert bb code for me already formated. Basiclly a template button so that we do not have to type the same stuff in all the time and have some consistancy in our posts.

I want the bb code button to insert this text every time the button is clicked:

Code: Select all

[b]SUMMARY[/b] 

[b]MORE INFORMATION[/b] 

[b]SYMPTOMS[/b] 

[b]PROBLEM[/b] 

[b]HOW TO IDENTIFY[/b] 

[b]VERIFICATION[/b] 

[b]CAUSE[/b] 

[b]RESOLUTION[/b] 

[b]STATUS[/b] 

[b]KEYWORDS[/b]
Or, is there a better way to do this?

Thanks,
Arti

The solutions above didn't take into account that with the nature of the forum it's kind of difficult to explain to people how to modify their URL to make it work (if the resource URL does not start with www) so I made this mode that allows them to paste the full Youtube URI whether or not it's http://www, http://ca, http://uk, etc, etc.

BBCode Useage

Code: Select all

[youtube]{URL}/watch?v={SIMPLETEXT}[/youtube]

HTML Replacement:

Code: Select all

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="{URL}/v/{SIMPLETEXT}"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="{URL}/v/{SIMPLETEXT}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

Help Line:

Code: Select all

Copy and paste the video URL, do NOT copy and paste the EMBED code

How can I make a bbcode to embed this video into my phpbb 3.0 board ?

Code: Select all

<object width="425" height="350" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.airvids.net/player/player.swf"><param name="movie" value="http://www.airvids.net/player/player.swf"><param name="flashvars" value="&file=http://aircraftvids.co.cc/12303036051460000416.flv&height=350&image=http://www.airvids.net/thumb/200.jpg&width=425&location=http://www.airvids.net/player/player.swf&logo=http://www.airvids.net/templates/images/watermark.gif&link=http://www.AirVids.net&linktarget=_blank"/></object>

First, identify which part of that specifies the file to display:
<object width="425" height="350" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.airvids.net/player/player.swf"><param name="movie" value="http://www.airvids.net/player/player.swf"><param name="flashvars" value="&file=http://aircraftvids.co.cc/12303036051460000416.flv&height=350&image=http://www.airvids.net/thumb/200.jpg&wi ... /></object>
Then, copy the same technique as used for the first YOUTUBE code in the first post in this topic.
i.e. add a new BBCODE

Code: Select all

[AIRVID]http://aircraftvids.co.cc/{SIMPLETEXT}[/AIRVID]
(Leave the domain name out if you want videos from other domains to be allowed also.)

and make the HTML replacement:

Code: Select all

<object width="425" height="350" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.airvids.net/player/player.swf"><param name="movie" value="http://www.airvids.net/player/player.swf"><param name="flashvars" value="&file=[color=#FF0000]http://aircraftvids.co.cc/{SIMPLETEXT}[/color]&height=350&image=http://www.airvids.net/thumb/200.jpg&width=425&location=http://www.airvids.net/player/player.swf&logo=http://www.airvids.net/templates/images/watermark.gif&link=http://www.AirVids.net&linktarget=_blank"/></object>
again, removing the domain name if you want that to be specifiable by the users.

unfortunately it just doesn't seem that easy, this is the code to embed one of the videos from my video site, the embed code is using the original filename and not the url of the video.

Code: Select all

<embed src="http://www.bigcatchvideos.com/includes/player/Main.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="454" height="396" flashvars="conf=http://www.bigcatchvideos.com/data/youtubeboxingdayjew.xml&guide=http://www.bigcatchvideos.com/data/youtubeboxingdayjewguide.xml&banner=http://www.bigcatchvideos.com/data/youtubeboxingdayjewbanner.xml&commercial=http://www.bigcatchvideos.com/data/youtubeboxingdayjewcommercial.xml&quality=high">
any help appreciated. Thanks

First post. Align (left, center, right) works with pictures as well as text.

Can I use {URL} into JavaScrip?

Post by Francisco.phpBB »

What means, this Custom BBCodes rule?

Code: Select all

{URL} A valid URL using any protocol (http, ftp, etc… cannot be used for javascript exploits). If none is given, "http://" is prefixed to the string.

No. The comment is saying that only a genuine URL will be accepted. It specifically stops any javascript from running, as people can use that to try to break into your board.
