BBCode Edit

Well I searched all over the place for this edit code and couldn't find it but then it dawned on me This should be pretty simple to write so I attempted it myself and hit right on the first try

Awesome!
class="row6"???? You've been busy creating rows haven't you?
You could move your </b> back, put it after the first </font> so your message want be bold.
Good Job!

HEHe, Yea I have been messing round with rows. That was a while ago. I wanted to get rid of some but I can't remember all the ones I am using. Most were just for experimenting with.

Just one question thouh. I can't seem to make the word EDIT in all caps.

Edit: If I do it here it will be in all caps.

That's weird, it should print it in the post exactly how you entered it in the HTML Replacement.
Ours is like this....

Code: Select all

<table class="tablebg" cellspacing="1"><tr><td class="row2" cellpadding="6"><strong>Edit:</strong> {TEXT}</td></tr></table>

Try making it all one line with no spaces / no line wraps)

You could do....

Code: Select all

<i><b style="color: #AA0000;">[EDIT]: </b>{TEXT}</i>

Well I thought I had better split this topic from the "test me" forum since this is beginning to turn into a support topic.

I have been fooling around with this and for some reason only the word "edit' will appear in lower case even if I enter it in the html replacement as all caps or the letter "E" as a cap. If I change it to any other word, it will appear as I enter it. So instead of the word "edit" I changed it to "Post Edit" and it appears exactly as is.

is this weird or what?

Very nice... and what is it's function and where does the quoted code go?

[stitch626]

Onewalrus,

Edit: This is an example using the edit bbcode

See how it places the word "Edit" and then places a table around the message? Its purpose is to flag an edited portion of a message if you come back and edit a post later on. It bassically lets it stand out so the reader knows that the post was edited.

You have to go to custom bbcode in your ACP under posting.

This is the bbcode.

Code: Select all

[Edit]{TEXT}[/Edit]

The html replacement is. (This is my version.)

Code: Select all

<table class="tablebg" width="100%" cellspacing="1">
<td class="row6" width="10%">
<i><strong><font color="#CC0000">[Post Edit]:</strong></font><font color="#000000">  {TEXT}</font></i>
</td>
</table>

This would be the correct guideline in writing your code Stitch.

Code: Select all

<table class="tablebg" width="100%" cellspacing="1">
<td class="row6" width="10%">
<i><font color="#CC0000"><strong>[Post Edit]: </strong></font><font color="#000000">{TEXT}</font></i>
</td>
</table>

I don't see any difference except you placed the <strong> after the <i>

[Sniper_E]

It will work either way.
What I was pointing out is that when you're writing codes their is a structure to go by.
Sort of a coding guideline to follow.
You need to look at the order of when a function starts and when it's closed.
The <i> starts that line and at the end of that line the </i> closes with that line.
That is the correct order those are placed in the line.
The </i> could be placed right after the {TEXT} and it would still work, but I would not put it there.

Look at this simple example and see where the opening and closing functions are placed in the line.

Code: Select all

[b][i][u]{TEXT}[/u][/i][/b] -OR- [i][u][b]{TEXT}[/b][/u][/i] -OR- [u][b][i]{TEXT}[/i][/b][/u]

It's just good practice to keep this in order. The codes in our pages are written in this order.
