More BBCode ideas

More BBCode stuff:

[poll=*]
*choice1
*choice2
*choice3
[/poll]
would make a poll box with options seperated by the character in the tag so users can vote on each one so it will be easier to see what ideas people like and stuff like that.
[spoiler=some code to an obselete block] some code [/spoiler]
would make a spoiler box with a hide/show button so people can chose not to look at it.


[font=times new roman] some text [/font]
would put text into different fonts

[size=43] some text [/size]
would re-size text but, as pointed out by poose, it would have to have a maximum value

[html]
<p> a paragraph </p>
<table>
  <tr> <td> this </td> <td> is </td> </tr> 
  <tr> <td> a </td> <td> table </td> </tr>   
</table>   
[/html] will alow you to use html in the forums! (although no javascript)

[project]aprojectid[/project] (idea by windows explorer) will allow you to embed a scratch project in a post (note that rookwood101 has an antidote script to allow this. If you have it, do [scratch=flash]creatersname/projectid[/scratch])

[anchor]text[/anchor] (idea by TheSuccessor) see this thread

[wiki]some article[/wiki] (idea by hardmath123) link to a wiki article, quicker than the url tag since you only have to give the name not the whole url

[img=widthxheight]imageurl[/img] Allows you to resize images

[definesmiley=smiley]smileyimage[/definesmiley] Let you define a new smiley for use in your post. Basicly any instance of smiley turns into [img]smileyimage[/img] and is resized to the same size as the forum smilies. An example use might be [definesmiley=^_^]http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/1411/uplinefunelephant.png[/definesmiley] to replace every ^_^ with http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/1411/uplinefunelephant.png in that post. Also if you put it in your sig, It will affect all of your posts.

[list=*]
*something
*something
[/list]
Makes a bullet pointed list separated by the character in the tag

It'll be hard because bbcode is already installed as part of fluxbb, and to add new bbcode requires php and mysql, which requires another database...

This is true. Punbb hosting already comes with those BBCode stuff, so to add more would be hard.

There would be a maximum  for size and maybe only the easy to understand fonts will be in the database.


Poose: for a block, you need the tags [block] and [/block] so normal brackets won't be turned into blocks

This is a different way to write blocks. Normal brackets would only be turned into blocks inside those tags. Outside those, nothing would happen to brackets.

I like the poll, as long as you can flag the poll (someone could write "Who sucks the most?", and that would be no fun) and the spoiler would help SO much!


bye 1.4, we all loved you. but we all outgrew the site. 2.0 is a welcome change.

Re: More BBCode ideas

i think spoiler, poll and size are already built into fluxbb and punbb so i don't know why they aren't in scratch forums.

[project]PROJECT_URL[/project]

Re: More BBCode ideas

edit: instead of [block][/block] it should be [script]
Also, I thought of another one: [html][/html] would alow you to use html in the forums!!!

Re: More BBCode ideas

My [spoiler] idea will be best in misc. because you could post a puzzle and have the answer in a spoiler tag so you can choose not to look at it.
