He meant using the [ code]insert your code[/ code] tags...

I do not always like going that way for certain one off things, I would rather just go with one code with nothing to be entered in between the bb code tags

Thanks for the help, I got it

If you are only posting your own play list on the board and don't want anything fancy then placing the html code between the bbcode tags should work for you. But there is a little more to it then that. You have to load your bb code tag AND your Html code to your admin panel first.

ACP/Post(tab)/bbcode(link). Then you can post the BBCde in your post or in your forum descriptions.

But before you do that you should have a look at this:

I think you will find it not only helpful in installing but also it will allow your friends to post their players to your board also. Also, it will allow you to highly customize your player to suit your board template ect.

How can I make edit tags?



This works on other forums.

Thanks

Also, How can I make the hr tags [hr][/hr] so that we can make a dark line or a colored one. Like this code

There are several different Edit bbcodes ready for install here:

Here is a nice HR code I think you'll like. It has not only color adjustments but also line thickness.

Thanks, that helped a ton. I picked up a lot of them also.

Is their any way of creating a [poll] BBcode to get polls inside the message sent rather than just at the top of the page. This would enable more than one poll per thread. (might be asking a bit much)

Cheers

No, that's not possible.

:} This provides hope for all of those sites that require you to place a link to their site before they do something for you. Make a custom BBcode for it and don't let the members see it.

Okay here is how to make the gamercard custom BBCode for your site:

In Posting Tab click on 'add new BBcode'

In the BBCode usage box copy and paste this code:



In the HTML Replacement box copy and place this HTML code:




Copy and place the text below into the Help Line Box:



Check the Display Box so that other users may see this to use in posts or as signatures.

Submit.

So when you place the custom BBCode on your site for your gamercard it looks like this:



Explain to users they would have to put in their own URL to their card and the classid in the text area.

Actually Stormy,..it should probably be done more like this:

BBCode:

HTML Replacement:

Usage:


Code breakdown:
<embed src="http://card.mygamercard.net/Zpop.swf" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="198" height="135"></embed>
In Blue is the name and in red is their ID#

Taking the entire URL is not necessary when they can simply use their name. This eliminates a lot of mistakes when clients use the tag. (Most already know their name) and making the tag with an "=" is not very popular as it leaves the BBCode button a little messy in most peoples opinion, So unless it can't be done any other way you should leave the "=" out.
You can shorten the Classid by only using the part of the code that is significant to the individual user. So you can leave out the "clsid:" in the code. Although it will work with the entire Classid if you feel that its easier for your clients to understand.

This leaves the code as light as possible for the user.

Now all they have to do is place their name, a space, and their ID# between the tags and their done.
Example:


The name of the BBCode tag could also be shortened to save space if your going to include it in your BBCode buttons to [GCard], It makes the buttons smaller. But you will have to add a help line if you abbreviate buttons.

Hi! I'd like a bbc code to embed slideshows in posts. My users like to post pics of their kids and such and we used sites like rockyou.com and slide.com , as well as picasa and photo bucket, to post these.
Anyway, I've tried the HTML to BBCode conversion sites and I can't seem to get them to do anything but link to the page where the pictures are kept. We want it to actually show the pictures. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for posting this. With this, I was able to figure out how to make a smiley bb code so my members will be able to use the names of our existing smilies. Everyone has their favorite smilies and some won't be able to be included when we upgrade.

I uploaded everything to a photobucket account and now they will just have to type in the name of the gif file (which is the smiley) name and the smiley shows up.

It's not perfect, but it will hep give access to a bunch more smilies. We have several birthday smilies, for example, and everyone has their favorites.

How can i add a radio station to my forum

Great topic! Much thanks to everyone and all their BBcode and HTML skills - as I have none!

I have done this and I still can't get it to work. I am new to learning this so what else do I need to do?

I want to make it as easy as possible for all to embed videos in the post.

Thanks for your help!

Is there a BBCode for making links in a first post to scroll down the page to a following post instead of opening them in a new window.

Example:

I have links to car tunes in my initial post that link to posts down the page. When I click on the links it takes me to a new window (or tab in IE 7 if I want) - I'd like it to just scroll down the page instead.

How can I add anchors to my posts, so I can click a link and it will go down to the anchor. With anchors on this other forum, you can link to the middle of posts.
