I installed this mod on my board and its terrific, the only thing I didn't like about it is you have to put everything in one box. Maybe something like the board news page would be good for the bbcode? thanks I am just happy to have this box now.

Great mod!  This should make it quite a bit easier to add bbcode! I hope many people give out cool html codes to convert to BBcode so we can put them into that box. 

[Anguz]

Glad you liked it

Yeah, that's not a bad idea. You guys could use this topic to post the tags you create with the mod.

Here's a couple of screenshots.

good mod, thanks Anguz.

I have one other question is it possible to use more than one number? the $1's

like

Code Select Expand

stream <embed height="$1" width="$2" src="$3" autostart="true"></embed> or would I just use $1 if possible at all?

It does tags without attributes.

I do have the code written for that already, though, but I have to figure out a couple of things before releasing it. For the example you gave, it could written like this

Code Select Expand


stream_w_h <embed src="$3" width="$1" height="$2" /><noembed>$3</noembed>


the tag would look like this

Code Select Expand


[stream w="100" h="100"]http://example.com/movie.mov[/stream]


but like I said, it's not in this version. Probably soon, stay tuned.

PS: The embed tag has been deprecated in HTML 4.0 in favor of the object element, iirc.

[Jerry]

thanks for the embed/object info , I cannot wait for the next versions of this mod. You are gr8

I installed this mod for someone but now got a blank screen, i installed it manually because the package manager dosen't work with the host.

[Anguz]

And after doing it by hand it worked?

[ryanbsoftware]

no it didn't i just get a blank screen when going to the site now.

[Anguz]

Hmm... well, that's odd, did you change something else? I don't know how this mod could be causing that. Did you install the FasterParsecode and ModSettingsTextarea ones first? Did you try uninstalling the mod to see if the blank page problem goes away?

i undertand you are trying to help me but obviously i know how to read and follow directions and uninstalling it would fix the problem as it was an unmodified version of RC2 until this, and i made the edits exactly as stated in the .mod files.

[Jerry]

Did you install the other 2 mods required by this mod (just asking)

You did the edits by hand? If it's a clean RC2 install, then the package manager can do it fine. Does it give you the blank page using the package manager?

something like that, i just know it dosen't work.

[Anguz]

I'm sorry. If somebody else has this problem, please let me know.

[ryanbsoftware]

could this be because the host has php safe mode enabled?

[Anguz]

It could be, I'm not familiar with the problems that causes.
