XF 1.5 Adding Custom BB Code

[Dan Allen]

I don't see where the ID needs to be entered when adding a new Custom BB Code.

The ID is the BB code tag. Enter sup on its own (without the brackets).

Thank you, that helped. I got this to save, but it is not working.



Page source. The message stops with the <sup>

<div class="messageContent">
<article>
<blockquote class="messageText SelectQuoteContainer ugc baseHtml">
just a test<br />
1.4507x10<sup>
<div class="messageTextEndMarker">&nbsp;</div>
</blockquote>
</article>
</div>
[/code/

You HTML replacement needs to be the HTML that you're replacing the contents of the tag with. In this case, probably:

<sup>{text}</sup>

Thank you, the custom bbcode now is behaving the way I need it. There is a complication for enabling superscript text that might be worth having in these notes.

Once the substitution was fixed, the display of superscript <sup> was not in accord with normal css.
It was like this in the Xenforo BBCode help.


This is the page source for that help display showing the <sup> tag substituted for [sup]:



Disabling CSS shows superscript displayed in html default position



This is the CSS governing the vertical alignment of <sup>
in the default xenforo style.

That rule is in the template xenforo_reset.css.

Adding this to EXTRA.css got the result I was looking for:

This was very helpful in creating a custom bb code for paragraphs, but there really needs to be a tutorial on what to put in the boxes for creating custom bb code so that it's easy to find the information.
