BBCode Enhancements

[search] BBCode

There is now a [search] BBCode available, which lets you display search results from Google, Yahoo or MSN. For example:

[search=google]Digital Point Solutions[/search] will give you this: [search=google]Digital Point Solutions[/search]

[search=yahoo]isp billing software[/search] will give you this: [search=yahoo]isp billing software[/search]
etc...


[php] BBCode

The existing [php] tags output differently now (includes line numbers, hyperlinks to the manual where the function is defined, etc.)

<?php
	$str = "Mary Had A Little Lamb and She LOVED It So";
	$str = strtolower($str);
	echo $str; // Prints mary had a little lamb and she loved it so
?>

PHP:

[html] BBCode

The existing [html] tags output differently now (includes line numbers, hyperlinks to a location where the attribute is defined, etc.)

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
	<td class="tcat" colspan="2">Search Engine Results<a name="search"></a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td class="thead" colspan="2" style="font-weight:normal">The [search] tag allows you to display search engine results from Google, Yahoo or MSN.</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
	<td class="alt1" width="20%"><strong>Usage</strong></td>
	<td class="alt1">[search=<span class="highlight">Search Engine</span>]<span class="highlight">searchterm</span>[/search]<br /><span style="font-size: 10px; margin: 0 0 0 20px;"><span class="highlight">Search Engine</span> can be one of; <span class="highlight">google</span>, <span class="highlight">yahoo</span>, <span class="highlight">msn</span></span></td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
	<td class="alt2" width="20%"><strong>Example Usage</strong></td>
	<td class="alt2">[search=google]this is a search[/search]</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
	<td class="alt1" width="20%"><strong>Example Output</strong></td>
	<td class="alt1"><a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=this+is+a+search" target="_blank">this is a search</a></td>
</tr>
</table>

[code] BBCode

The existing [code] tag has been enhanced so that if you use an option (which defines the language) you will get a nice output. A list of currently supported languages can be found here. For example [code=xml] would give you something like:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="nutrition.css"?>
<nutrition>

<daily-values>
        <total-fat units="g">65</total-fat>
        <saturated-fat units="g">20</saturated-fat>
        <cholesterol units="mg">300</cholesterol>
        <sodium units="mg">2400</sodium>
        <carb units="g">300</carb>
        <fiber units="g">25</fiber>
        <protein units="g">50</protein>
</daily-values>
</nutrition>

Code (xml):

 

Well if someone else did it, I didn't know about it... so whatever code is out there isn't what I'm using, mine is custom. My stuff is specific to 3.5 (100% using the new plug-in architecture so I don't need to touch any PHP files).

 

BTW, I didn't code all the syntax highlighting stuff. I'm using GeSHi for that. Plus it's modular, so just drop a new language into the folder and the forum then supports it.

 

It's easy if you are a coder (and familiar with classes, sub-classes, etc.)
