Quick Reply BBCode Buttons (UBBC)

[Chris]

Remember that it is the device used and it's ability to support and retain 'localStorage'. If you've changed device (or browser) and/or have a setting to automatically purge locally saved data then that full reply procedure will be needed each time such a purge or change to a virgin device occurs.

yea they oddly came back just as you posted earlier.

thank you for the help

I changed image for the code button, but it will not refresh, if this plugin is active.
Is there any way to force it to refresh, without having to remove and clear the data?

[Chris]

@burkeknight the "reset" is to visit the FULL REPLY page so the plugin can record the new buttons. This is not data saved online but per device using storage locally available on the device so clearing plugin data would have no effect. If no locally saved button data is found then the standard button images are used. If there was a change to the image set then a visit to the FULL REPLY page will overwrite older images with newer.

Hi. I'm trying to set up this plugin for a custom button that will allow me to embed a podcast within a post (not a header or footer). The podcast is hosted at PodOmatic, and they offer the following sharing options:

I have looked through the settings for the plugin, but it's all Greek to me. LOL

voice, only BBCODE (not HTML) is allowed in posts so the plugin deals only in the realm of BBCODE (aka UBBC) and what you've posted there is HTML. If you want to create a button there would need to exist something (a code) that is capable of turning that HTML into BBCODE or plain text and then recognize the pattern and convert it back into HTML, it would then be possible to create a button that can generate the appropriate BBCODE and insert it into the post. What happens to that BBCODE after it has been inserted is up to the code responsible for converting it or Proboards own BBCODE parser if it's a BBCODE native to Proboards.

Many thanks for the reply Chris. If I understand you correctly...

Hey eton, is there any way I might be able to get this to add the img tag and video tag to a shoutbox and have it work?

[Chris]

If the place where you want to use that particular bbcode does not support the bbcode then this plugin is not going to be of any help to you, this is what is meant with the following when grabbing the plugin from the library:

Note:this plugin does not support BBCode not already supported elsewhere such as through a third-party plugin or natively by Proboards

In other words this deals solely with the button and not the magic behind the button. If the bbcode pattern output by the button is not handled either by proboards or some third-party code then this plugin will not be very useful to you. If you cannot type out the bbcode by hand and have it work then this plugin won't be able to type it out for you and have it work. Two examples would be [spoiler][/spoiler] and [blockquote][/blockquote] bbcode tags, both of which are natively supported by Proboards but by default have no corresponding buttons on the editor, you can however type them out by hand. The BBCode Buttons plugin can create buttons and output the supplied bbcode when that button is clicked, whatever happens to that bbcode after it is inserted however is up to whatever is responsible for turning it into html (in this case Proboards, but could also be another plugin) 

I started on a plugin a couple years ago named BBCode Factory that allowed you to create your own custom BBCode and it even came preconfigured with a sample template for a custom bbcode that added support for the IMG tag to the shoutbox (see shoutbox here) but it didn't generate much interest so I decided to shelve it. I've actually been thinking of reviving it in the past couple of weeks due to some renewed interest but would need more specifics on V6 first before I wasted any time on coding that might become obsolete with the introduction of V6.

I was aware that this wouldn't just automatically code for me.  I'm sorry I wasn't more specific.

Is there a chance you might be willing to share that version with me?  I'm REALLY interested in images in my shoutbox.  I understand not wanting to do further work on it until v6, but if you're willing to share that version for just now, I'd be so happy.

wow. that worked like a charm.  thank you so much!!!

In theory this could be used to do videos too couldn't it?  I'm going to play around with it.  Thank you again!

Pretty much any valid HTML can be represented.
Keep in mind that it is still a work in progress and can be unwieldy having to know which directives to use although the newest version does attempt to reduce the more common ones to simple checkboxes. It is also dangerous if left open ended so be careful since there are no checks in place to warn when leaving exploitable holes open for the mischievous user.

If you create a template especially using {if}{/if} conditions or {foreach} loops I'd be interested to see what you've done.

I'll share whatever I do Chris.  Thank you for sharing this with me.

Is there anyway to make a button that calls custom profile field info?
