It doesn't create promptable nested BBCode beyond the main one unfortunately. In your example the [a] would be the main (outer) BBCode and the [img] would be the inner BBCode.
If you have static BBCode that you want nested within the main BBCode the button outputs then you can use the pragma_content attribute to define the inner content which can contain text or even additional BBCode but the inner BBCode would not have promptable fields asking for "src" for example while the outer BBCode could still prompt for "href".

In a nutshell, if the image remains unchanged and you want the "href" as user configurable then the plugin can do it but it won't prompt for both "href" and "src".

i kindof understand .... can you nutshell this down pls "In a nutshell, if the image remains unchanged and you want the "href" as user configurable then the plugin can do it but it won't prompt for both "href" and "src"."


does this mean it can't be done ?

If it is the same exact image everytime but a different link URL each time someone posts then possible.
If it is a limited set of images chosen by the user then multiple buttons for each image would be possible
If it is any image arbitrarily chosen by the user then no can do, best to use the image button then wrap it with the link button.

Wow I'm surprised that something the great Eton Bones created actually has a limitation

All such limitations will vanish with the introduction of an editor equally adept at creating custom markup as it is at making cheesy remarks.  This editor has been rumored to do away with your standard keyboard input instead opting to anticipate and type out what you may want to say before you even know you wanted to say it.  The paradigm will shift from creating content to managing content created for you while you were asleep so no more fretting over BBCode.


It will be a glorious day when we ascend to massive clouds of data on the wings of the phoenix , I of course have already made other arrangements for my own private ascension on an equally impressive bird

ok so can we do this ?

You've highlighted two of the three options but have given no further info on which one is acceptable so I'll go with the first which can be used to create the second scenario



Tag: a
Image: (add any button image of your choice)
Title: (any title you want, in image above I used "Linked Image")
Attributes: href=|pragma_content=[img]http://storage.proboards.com/forum/images/admin/pbhelpicon.png[/img]
(obviously change the static image to the one you want to use)

That should produce a new button that will popup a dialog asking the user to input an href then add that link to the typing area with the image inside that link

it sounds good. As long as that time comes before my untimely death
Which I might die waiting at this point. Death is just one aspect of living though.
