BBCode Suggestions Megathread

**Yoshin** · 11-28-2017, 11:56 PM

MyBB as it turns out, makes inserting custom BBCode easy and fun! All you gotta do is say what it would do and it might just get added! Bonus points if you have html for it.

YouTube tag please of we don't have it already

On my forum, I setup one for creating links to the our Wiki.

You could setup code like [[MFGG Wiki]] and it would link to a search of that term in the wiki. I always found that super useful, and promoted Wiki use.

inline spoilers (like mfgg 5.0)

Spoilers and inline spoilers exist but there's no button to insert them into the editor. As for new BBC...

Text Shadow: adds colored shadows to text.

Code:
[shadow="2px 2px 1px black"]text[/shadow]

<span style="text-shadow: 2px 2px 1px black;">text</span>

With [*wiki*] tags? I see, I see. Smile

[[ and ]] are cooler (more like Wiki syntax), but hey, I'll take it!

I like this, tho I might make it just choose a colour, text-shadow can do a lot with just the size variables and could easily be abused.

I'd suggest indenting the contents of spoilers, perhaps with a left margin of 1em or so--or you could put them in a box like quotes. It would make them look a bit neater, especially when nested (though that use might not come up often, I use nested spoilers to help keep Roll to Dodge more organized).

I'm not sure how long its been like this but video tags don't work very well. I know that if you do the url a certain way it eventually works but I think that steps should be taken to make the embed a little more intuitive. If something that can't find the video id automatically isn't feasible then maybe just ask for the id directly instead of the url.

imo anyway

Yeah MyBB's default [video] tag doesn't work well for Youtube, I'm gonna do a [youtube] tag that just does id.
I will leave [video] in since its useful for embedding HTML5 videos however.

I have installed a plugin that allows customizing the editor formatting menu and I have added the buttons. However the interface is slightly different due to the plugin but it is working as intended. Unfortunately there's nothing much I can do unless I got more time going over walls of codes.

Honestly this looks fine. Maybe even better than before!

Is it possible to add an example to the BBCode inserter?

Instead of it just adding the tag, maybe something like this:
