BB Code Manager: BB Code XML Repository

[Paul B]

What are you trying to embed?
Post the BB Code here.

I have it installed
BBcode does not work the [web] www.google.com [/ web]

 

[Paul B]

Oops!
My mistake, this is how to use it: [web=google.com][/web]

Note that the www. is not included as it is already part of the simple replacement code, due to URLs being automatically parsed.

I've edited the xml for the example and re-uploaded it here: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/bb-code-manager-bb-code-xml-repository.8470/page-4#post-189633

 

[ManuTdi]

I tested with [web]google.com[/web] and does not work ... : (

 

[Paul B]

Download the new xml I linked to above.

Use it like this: [web=google.com][/web]

 

[ManuTdi]

Thank you so much work

 

[ManuTdi]

One could make a function where indicated in the image? or an additional button?

 

[Paul B]

Neither of these are simple to do as they require editing the core files.

See here: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/adding-to-the-tinymce-editor.7674/

 

[ManuTdi]

Ok, so therefore it's okay

Here you go.
With this BB Code, anyone can embed any web page in your site. Use it at your own risk.
Don't say I didn't warn you...

Use it like this: [web=google.com][/web]

Adjust the parameters to suit: width, height, etc.

Brogan, that is awsome!

Obviously very unsafe in the wrong hands, is there anyway I can make it so only I can use this BBcode? I assume not but worth the ask , cheers

 

[Paul B]

Nope.
Anyone is able to use it, which is why I gave the warning.

Is it possible to modify the custom bbcode help template to only display specific BBcode ids to a specify user or user group in theory anyways?

 

[Paul B]

It is but they only have to quote the post to see the BB Code tag.

 

[EQnoble]

Which brings up my next question...quotes don't get copied when you quote someone...

Is it possible to re use that same mechanism...or maybe even wrap it in a quote box to prevent being able to see the tag?

 

[EQnoble]

Well the second solution allows to hide the bbcode...I tested with a random custom bbcode by putting my actual bbcode inside of quote tags. After posting I quoted that message and nothing shows inside of the quote...

Once a page is rendered into it's final state is there a way that a user can use firebug to see the tags or is that completely obscure once the page load finishes and bbcodes are parsed?

 

[Paul B]

The tags aren't visible in the source once they've been rendered.

Wrapping them in quote tags will work but it's not a very elegant solution.

Yeah I know, but I can't teach an embedded webpage to ballroom dance

Is there any security issues with it other than the inherant of having users be able use embed html in general?

 

[Paul B]

Just as you surmised, it just allows anyone to embed any URL.

Brogan that it could be modified to put [web]http://www.google.com[/web]?
