Custom BBCode additions
Posted: 2008-12-26 11:53pm
As noted in my signature, and as noted in posts by STARK, strikethrough would be awesome to have.
Fortunately, it appears to be a very simple addition to make, as detailed on this page:
The page also includes examples for subscript and superscript, which may be handy for when people might like to express exponents without having to go through the hassle of creating/uploading/linking an image, or using the clunky caret character.
I know that our helpful admin staff are quite busy with real-life obligations and with other board management issues, but the impression I get is that this should be a very simple and quick procedure, so hopefully it shouldn't be a burden to implement this should they agree to it.
Thoughts?
Fortunately, it appears to be a very simple addition to make, as detailed on this page:
To get started, simply go to your ACP (Administration Control Panel) then click on the Posting tab. Next, click on BBCodes on the left. Since you haven't added any custom ones yet, click on the Add a new BBCode button. You will now see 3 text input areas and a checkbox. The BBCode usage box is where you enter the BBCode -- i.e. similar to what users will enter. The HTML replacement text box is where you enter the HTML replacement code. The Help line text box is where you can enter a tip on how to use your new BBCode. Tips are generally displayed when the user rolls his or her mouse over the BBCode button on the posting screen. Finally the Display on posting page option allows you to show or hide the button on the posting screen. Hiding the button does not disable the BBCode -- users can still manually enter the BBCode.
