OOC BBCODE not allowing Lists..!

[RiTz21]

Help!
I have a forum where Out Of Character is often used. I noticed that my current implementation of the OOC BBCODE does not allow for LIST BBCodes!

Example:

Code: Select all

[OOC][list]
[*] [b]One[/b]
[*] Two
[/list][/OOC]

Does:

Any ideas why this isn't working? The BOLD seems fine.... Here is the relevant BBCODE for OOC:
BBCode usage

Code: Select all

[OOC title={TEXT1;optional}]{TEXT2}[/OOC]

HTML replacement

Code: Select all

<table style="width: 100%; float: left;" border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1">
	<tbody>
		<tr>
			<td><b>
			  <xsl:choose>
				<xsl:when test="@title">
					<span style="background-color: #ccffff; color: #000000;"> {TEXT1} <br /></span>
				</xsl:when>
				<xsl:otherwise>
					<span style="background-color: #ccffff; color: #000000;"> OUT OF CHARACTER <br /></span>
				</xsl:otherwise>
			  </xsl:choose>
</b>
			</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
				<td bgcolor="#FFE5BA" width="100%"><span style="background-color: #ffe5ba;">{TEXT2}</span></td>
		</tr>
	</tbody>
</table>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Code: Select all

[OOC=Optional title]Out of Character Text[/OOC]

THANKS for any help you can provide!!!

I would think the issue is that <ol> is a block level element that you nest within a <span>, being an inline element. That's not allowed in HTML.

You can try to remove the span and add your style to the td:

Code: Select all

<table style="width: 100%; float: left;" border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1">
	<tbody>
		<tr>
			<td><b>
			  <xsl:choose>
				<xsl:when test="@title">
					<span style="background-color: #ccffff; color: #000000;"> {TEXT1} <br /></span>
				</xsl:when>
				<xsl:otherwise>
					<span style="background-color: #ccffff; color: #000000;"> OUT OF CHARACTER <br /></span>
				</xsl:otherwise>
			  </xsl:choose>
</b>
			</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
				<td width="100%"  style="background-color: #ffe5ba;"><span>{TEXT2}</td>
		</tr>
	</tbody>
</table>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

I made the changes you proposed and tested the list inside the OOC.
I still get the same issue...

Is this a case where I need to 'refresh' something for the changed BBCODE to work?

Many thanks for helping out!!!

It will only work with either new messages or edited messages where there is a significant change leading to a different message checksum causing the message to be reparsed.

But I made an error I see. I've tested now with this replacement:

Code: Select all

<table style="width: 100%; float: left;" border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1">
	<tbody>
		<tr>
			<td style="background-color: #ccffff; color: #000000;"><b>
			  <xsl:choose>
				<xsl:when test="@title">
					{TEXT1} <br />
				</xsl:when>
				<xsl:otherwise>
					OUT OF CHARACTER <br />
				</xsl:otherwise>
			  </xsl:choose>
</b>
			</td>
		</tr>
		<tr><td width="100%"  style="background-color: #ffe5ba;">{TEXT2}</td></tr>
	</tbody>
</table>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

When I post this message, it works for me:

Code: Select all

[OOC=ME is me]
[list=1][*]One
[*]Two
[*]Trio[/list]
[/OOC]

there are days that can be humbling.
I have read this topic several times and still have no idea what in the world any of it is talking about. apparently there is a lot more to bbcode than I have ever heard of . It is like I stumbled into a topic written in russian or something.

HEHHE Well here is a small explanation: The forum hosts Play By Post games, where people play their Characters (If you dunno what an RPG is, you can google it!) - So there are times where the players want to ask something to the Game Master - thus they can use the OOC bbcode which stands for Out Of Character (meaning it is the players asking - and not the Character he's playing!) - it is a bbcode to allow the distinction between the Player and his character...

Does this explains a bit?

yep, it helps. yes I know what RPG means. as a matter of fact, I played one of the first PC based RPGs back in the early 80s
no graphics, just text in DOS. no instructions because it was a game created in house at Xerox back when they came out with one of the very first PCs.

you had a cabin in the old west. you had a door, a window, a rifle on the wall and bad guys/indians coming to kill you.

you just had to make up stuff to type in to see if it was actually part of the program. After that, I played a game similar to pacman.

all of this came on 8 inch floppy disks. the PC itself had a huge hard drive of 20MB, something like 64KB of ram, no mouse, etc. etc.

ah , the good old days.

Ah you're reminding me of the "zork' text games back in the days!!! (i.e. in the late 80's ...)
Well, table top RPGs (with friends at a table) are awesome!! Been playing Dungeons & Dragons for decades, and I'm taking my dice to my grave (even that annoying d20, which rolls too many 1's !!)
