BB Code Manager

[Jeremy]

laztrix: XenForo & vBulletin share different code bases, different editors, it is no surprise that they act differently. Its also an issue within the core code of how it handles parsing and unparsing of these tags. To modify that, I'd need to parts of the system. That is not the intention of BBCM.

Thanks King Kovifor, It's clear to me now. I hope it'll get fixed or someone will find a way to change it.

I have a stupid question. Where do I go to bcc options for this mod? I can't find the bbc code manager in the admin area.

Questions are only stupid if no one answers them.
On the admin page... Home tab....under BB code & smiles.....BB code Manager or

yourdomain.com/admin.php?custom-bb-codes

Ok, it must not have installed fully. I do not see it. After taking a closer look, I installed beta 1 on the test site by accident, so that's most likely the problem. I'll do a fresh install of beta 4 and reinstall the bbc manager again.

There is something wrong because I don't have the option at 'home' within admin for BBCode Mgr. Should it show in the red boxed area?

Odd... I checked and the route prefixes and such are added correctly as I haven't touched them since the beginning, ands its set correctly. Is there any way you can help me debug this? Maybe by throwing your site into debug mode and checking for a route prefix for me?

KK, I'd be happy to help debug it. But, I'm not sure how to put the site into debug mode and where to find the route prefix

Let me know how and I'll take care of it.

I have the same problem as mentioned in the above post. I thought it was just me.

Maybe it has something to do with old admin template files in beta 4? http://xenforo.com/community/threads/xenforo-1-0-0-beta-4-released.8732/

I don't have permissions showing up either.

For this modification? Can you access BB Code Manager?

Before we debug, can you check to see if you've given yourself permissions to edit BB Codes in Users -> Administrators -> Your Name -> Can Manage BB Codes? I think I can see it because I am a super administrator...

 

[ArnyVee]

I wasn't the super admin, so I couldn't see it. I was in the administrative group, but I wasn't set as an administrator. So, I set myself as super admin temporarily and then set myself as an administrator. Now I can see it

These permissions are a little something to get used to in xF

 

[ArnyVee]

That should have updated, but modify it to <span style="float: %s;"> and </span>.

Okay, so I adjusted it and it is now 'wrapped'. But, there is no room between the image and the text.

 

[Floris]

try setting margin or padding to the image.

Is that typed into the replacement portion of the BBCodeMgr? If so, how do I do that?

Edit the float tag.

Find:

<div style="float: %s;">

Replace With:

<div style="float: %s; padding: 5px;">

 

[ArnyVee]

Thanks that worked

It's span and not div, but worked perfectly

 

[Paul B]

The problem with adding the padding like that is it adds padding to both sides of the image and the image won't then line up with the edge of the text.
This is why I had separate float tags for left and right images.

<div style="float: right; margin-left: 6px">{TEXT}</div>

<div style="float: left; margin-right: 6px">{TEXT}</div>

 

[ArnyVee]

Brogan, would you have to create two sets of BBCode and add each line into each replacement?

That's what I did with my site, yes.

This was so I could float images left or right and have spacing between the right or left side of the images.
