We have recently completed a move from a phpBB Board to Proboards and got most things working as we would want them.
One function that we were able to create in phpBB using some BBCode etc was the ability to embed a small web page into a post. Each page consists of an image with some dynamic text overlaid on top of the background image. I've not managed to work out how to do this in Proboards but presume it would need a plugin.
In phpBB we created a new rule which read:
[rule]{SIMPLETEXT}[/rule]
We then added the following text as a replacement to insert the page into a post as an iframe thus:
<iframe src="https://www.cnet.org/ncomm_rule/display.html#page{SIMPLETEXT}" width="100%" height="450" border="0"></iframe>
We could then type (for example):
[rule]24[/rule]
This would display the background image with the text for week 24 in the year inside the post.
The plugin stuff on Proboards seems to be rather more sophisticated and I'm struggling to work how this could be done or, indeed, whether there is a plugin already available that would do this. If someone has already done the work then I apologise for incompetent searching but so far I've not been able to find it.
Any suggestions for a beginner in Proboard plugins gratefully received.
