Forum thread coding (BBCode) help.

[solthesungoddess]

I'll keep it simple: I need a comprehensive list of the div style codes that these forums use. They are similar but not exact to sites like BearbonesRP and I am having a bit of trouble. I mostly design forum "fancyposts" for my friends and I would like to get my work to them as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your time and assistance in advance.

Edit: Quick Questions I need answered right now:

1) is there a way to remove the visibility of the lines when inserting a Table?

2) is there a code for what, on Bearbones, is "background-size", zoom in and out with percentages or "cover"

Please note: Bearbones RP is not hosted with ProBoards, so anything you see on there will require significant adjustment to be compatible with ProBoards. Note also that most people will not know what this is, so in the future when referencing any​ site as an example (especially if it's a non-PB site), include a link so that helpers know what you're talking about.​​​

For your main point: sorry, that's not going to happen. Those codes are created by multiple users spanning multiple different forums / resource sites. No one is going to do the legwork for you in that regard, so if you're interested in compiling a list of codes then you'll have to do it yourself.

For your other questions:
1. By default, table borders are not included beyond a "ghost" border when in the preview editor so you can see where the cells are (these are not included when you actually post). If you're experiencing something else, please provide a link to the issue so we can better instruct on how to fix it.

2. On ProBoards you can use inline CSS to a degree. Unfortunately there is not a comprehensive list on what inline CSS is accepted so you'll have to work on trial and error.

okay thank you very much

Kami answered most of your questions, but I wanted to add some things to help you along:

1. To ensure table borders won't ever show, just add a 'border:0px;' to your bbcode table styling and your borders will be non-existant c:

So, something like:
[table style="border:0px;"]
[tbody]
[tr]
[td]boop[/td]
[/tr]
[/tbody]
[/table]

2. BBCode is inline css / html, but it uses brackets [ ] instead of these < > . Chances are, any code that uses inline css / html will just need to be converted to use those brackets instead and it'll work !

For #2, that’s not entirely true, which is why I phrased my answer the way I did. BB Code in-line CSS — at least on PB — is not as robust as it’s HTML or doHTML counterparts. Simple things commonly found in non-PB posting templates, eg: the overflow-y property, aren’t compatible with PB (for the example, you can work around losing overflow-y by using overflow:auto, but the overflow-y property gets stripped when you post).

This is by far from the only example; non-PB posting templates generally need extensive work to make them compatible with PB / if you’re making from scratch you’ll need to work on trial and error since there’s no documentation as to what will and will not be compatible (as I said originally).

On that note, I forgot to mention the Style Tag Plugin; the syntax is sort of weird but it helps with some of the more complicated things:

A caveat tho: since this is a plug-in, there are some data storage issues that, if your data gets too massive to display, can cause the forum to hang when loading.

There is an unofficial list of supported inline styles: All Supported Inline CSS Properties
It is admittedly a few years old so I am sure there were newer properties added later that may not be included in that list but verifying if those newer properties are supported is as easy as typing it into the inline style on the bbcode side, flipping to the preview tab then flipping back to see if it survived the PB purge ...

Edit

I forgot to mention that the last time I checked, background-size:cover would be sanitized but if you used the shorthand format then it is indeed supported
