Common BBCodes

Here's a pretty straight forward example of a table created with the table mod

DVC Points History - Walt Disney Boards - Message Boards & Forum Discussing The Genius Of Walter Elias Disney!

 

I've been using this mod since before the site was live. A few of the people on the site know how to use it and I wrote detailed directions in the Help project I have going that I want to incorporate in the site as well.

Example of a color chart Motoring Alliance :: MINI Cooper Forums

Also use it neatly display all the cars up for the MINI of the Month contest August Cooper Flags MINI of the Month Voting - Motoring Alliance :: MINI Cooper Forums

 

gnatster...great idea with the Mini pics. Looks cool!

The first link I can't see as a guest. What is the 'color chart'?

 

It's a table that includes the color chip, name, notes and paint code of all MINI colors.

I didn't know the vBdynamics articles I have was not viewable by a guest.

 

gnatster (or anyone else that might know), is there a way to center each cell without having to put center tags within each individual cell? Takes quite a lot of time to get that done depending on the size of your table.

 

Not that I know of and believe you me I tried everything before resorting to the center tag in every cell. :shrug:

 

Does anyone use an "Anchor" BBCode?

If so, which one do you use? I just noticed this one...

Anchor and Jump BBCode! - vBulletin.org Forum

...but, haven't tried it yet. Seems sort of interesting, but some folks have reported issues. Any other suggestions?

 

Interesting but the dev has not been on vb.org in 2 years and the mod has been left to languish. To me that makes it a no brainer not to install.

 

That's what I was thinking gnatster. But, I want to add a "table of contents" sort of thing at the top of some threads and have it be 'anchor text' so that they can skip to that part of the post.

I wanted to do it for this type of post ....

Walt Disney World Ticket Price Breakdown - Walt Disney Boards - Message Boards & Forum Discussing The Genius Of Walter Elias Disney!

....as you can see, I'm starting to have a few tables and some additional information for each. Just thought it would be a nice touch for me to have the 'anchor' type of link. Anyone have any ideas on what I should do?

 

Did you see this thread on vb.com Anchors in posts using vbcode - vBulletin Community Forum

It's a little newer than that one on vb.org and provides code examples.

 

gnatster, I hadn't made it over to vb.com yet...thanks for the great link!

That's going to help me out! :woohoo:

 

Doh!

I just tried to add the BBCode for the anchor text and I got this error....any chance that anyone knows of a fix or what I'm doing wrong?

Code:

[B]Fatal error[/B]: Cannot redeclare handle_bbcode_video() (previously declared in /home/avarona/domains/waltdisneyboards.com/public_html/includes/class_bbcode.php(2430) : eval()'d code:34) in [B]/home/avarona/domains/waltdisneyboards.com/public_html/includes/class_bbcode.php(2430) : eval()'d code[/B] on line [B]63[/B]

 

Yeah... I don't like Wiki style formatting though. Too easy to mess up with a simple incorrect character.
