Re: Custom BBCodes

Post by jvincent08 »

Apologies in advance if this has been requested before, but is it possible to disable parsing of bbcodes within a certain bbcode tag? For example:
[bbcode]this area of text won't be parsed as bbcode, so i can type something like asfsf and the brackets will appear as literal brackets[/bbcode]

I thought maybe you could use Javascript to iterate through each character and test if its a bracket, but I don't know the language very well. Any ideas?

What's all that garbage at the end of the src statement? Looks like either an affiliate code, a compressed image, or compressed, embedded hex code.

Sorry, I don't know enough to be able to help but I do know enough to know that I don't want to run your code until someone who does know what they are doing has a chance to look at it.

Why on earth would you want to embed a chat into a post, anyway?

because some people enjoy just being able to do things they normally wouldn't be able to do. that and it would allow every person to have their own personal chat box for every topic/post and that is something that really draws you in even if it's completely out of curiosity or even for a prank.

Maybe you have to use only the video ID.

So skip the www.youtube.com/watch?v=

So, for example:


(this code is not from a video ;) )

I've created a second version for my earlier DivX Web Player BBCode and look forward to updates on the tag i just created(i should be finished later tonight or tomorrow) that will allow you to customize the tag however you want and even if you don't fill out the tags the code won't get ruined; it will just enter in the defaults.
customize the divx part of the tag to say whatever you want it to.

Code: Select all

[DivX]{url}[/DivX}
and yes i used plugins this time

Code: Select all

<object id="ie_plugin" classid="clsid:67DABFBF-D0AB-41fa-9C46-CC0F21721616"
            width="720" height="530"

    }

    // Create an instance of the object

    myDivXPlugin = new DivXPluginSinks()

    </script>

Code: Select all

[DivX]url to .avi .divx or .div video with h264, XviD, and DivX Codecs.[/DivX]
