Common BBCodes

Since most forums enable BBCodes, I thought compiling a list of them would be cool...

 

Other than the default ones?

Um...

Youtube
Spoiler

They're the ones I see more than any others.

header - [hx]header text[/hx] where x equals the header level.

dropcap - [dropcap]A[/dropcap] Creates a dropcap at the beginning of a paragraph. Could use images as well.

aside - [aside=right]content here[/aside] - Create quote pullouts or float images to the direction specified.

anchor - [anchor]text[/anchor] Provides an anchor via <a> tags

goto - [goto]text[/goto] Provides a link to a previously defined anchor. Use together for content boxes.

video - [video]url to video file[/video]

audio - [audio]url to audio file[/audio]

 

Thanks for all of the codes Wayne Luke- I like Audio as well as the video BBCodes!

 

Tom, there was already a topic like this started where I tried to help compile a list. Maybe we can combine these threads to have the 'all encompassing' bbCode list

http://www.adminaddict.net/forum/community-forum-software/custom-bb-codes-661/

 

I've never seen most of those Wayne Luke, are they in the current incarnation of vB? Planned for a future version? Looks like I need to experiment with them.

 

They would be codes you would implement yourself and are actually fairly common on customized websites. They are all codes that I have used in the past. I don't use audio and video anymore because we have AME for vBulletin and they aren't needed anymore.

 

Table is great, a bit of a pain since all the syntax has to be added by hand but I find it indispensable for parts lists. I don't have an an icon for it's pertty much only used by staff since most of the members would be lost.

 

I found a much easier table BB code on vBulletin.org and it's so simple. Here's the usage:

Code:

[table="head"]Username|Donation Amount|WPT %|WPT Contribution
Jenny|$10|60%|$6
Lilla47|$20|60%|$12
Heather|$20|75%|$15
Lineola|$20|75%|$15
Ineke|$15|60%|$9
| | | 
||Total|$57[/table]

And here is the output: Lineolated Parakeet Forum


Seems to do the same thing that yours would but is much easier.

 

I've wanted a 'table' code for quite some time. Nick, please school us novices on bbCode on how to do that, please.

 

Here 'ya go! BB Code [table] - vBulletin.org Forum

It's even a product, meaning you don't have to add the custom BB code yourself!

 

Holy crappola Batman! Can't believe it....I even had it tagged.

LOL...thanks, gonna check it out later.

 

Nick, do you use the javascript sortable option for the table code?

 

Nah, I haven't experimented with that.

 

I just added the table code and it's working great. But, how do you add a 'space' between the text and the cell edge? The text is right up against the cell.

 

I'm not sure. I just browsed through some of the posts in that thread and it looks like you can apply your own CSS definitions. So you might want to look into playing around with that.

 

Hmm, that could be a really useful mod. Today is quickly becoming my day to add new mods anyway...

 

I think I could say that just about every day. :lol:

 

Here's a great post for helping with some of the ways to use the table mod....
