UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? adding a new ubb code option

how easy would it be to add a new UBB code option?

more than bold, more than italics... i'd love to create an option for "stand out text."

meaning, text that simply looks different than other text -- something that could be used for article headers, or important info that you want hilighted.

preferably, the characteristics of this text type could be controlled via the CSS stylesheet code. then, wherever the [standout][/standout] indicators appear could feature text that was a different font size or different text color, or whatever.

This should give you an idea

bah... i'm just not smart enough

i keep tinkering, but i can't figure out how to get it to work -- and even then, i can't figure out how to set it up to be css compliant

Try something like this in the do_markup() function, located in ubbt.inc.php

$Body =preg_replace("/\[yourtag\]/i","<span class="yourclass">",$Body);
$Body =preg_replace("/\[\/yourtag\]/i","</span>",$Body);

and in undo_markup():


$Body = preg_replace("/<span class="yourclass">/","[yourtag]",$Body);
$Body = str_replace("</span>","[/yourtag]",$Body);

Replace "yourtag" with the keyword, you want to use.
Replace "yourclass" with the css classname, you want to use.

ahh, that did the trick!!

perfect!

thanks!
