Just wondering how did you guys here on pixel2life make it so when someone edits or modifies the content here it automaticlly changes. Or when they add a picture it doesn't show [img].

Was that some component??
Can you share how you guys did that?

[l3lueMage]

It comes with all forums automatically....

[Dai-Kun5603]

In the AdminCP i can adjust that?

Automatic change text from size 2 to size 5 or change font

mind you its without the [ w/e ] w/e [/ w/e ]

The things in the square brackets are what is known as BBcode (dozens of tutorials out there on it). These forums were built using a language known as PHP. The particular brand of this forum is known as IPB (ref: http://www.invisionp...ard/index.html). There are dozens of other pieces of forum software out there (i.e. phpBB, vBulletin, etc...).

Technically, the makers of P2L didn't make any of this happen (at least as far as the forums are concerned). How ever, they did possibly add extensions to the forum software which can be found at various fan-sites/the official sites of the forum you choose to use.

Note: Since you're asking this question, i recommend not trying to make one of your own, but rather download one that is readily available (use the forum search to find out why if you're interested).

I'm not looking for BBcodes or how to modify them. I want to find out how you guys here change how we make topics/ repy to topics (where we type). Usaully when we upload an image you would see the put here it automaticlly changes to the picture, same with font, font size and color, links, etc.

I was looking through the search and couldn't find any info on how you guys did this. I also tried looking in IPSBeyond but couldn't find anything. By change do you know links??

If you want to know HOW to make a forum system, then check this tut out:

http://www.pixel2life.com/publish/tutorial...scussion_board/

It shows you how to add topics, edit topics, reply and so on.

[Dai-Kun5603]

Nice link but I'm not trying to make my own disscusion board. Just modify what I posted above.

Are you talking about a WYSIWYG?

Here's a good one.

[Dai-Kun5603]

Yea...kinda what I'm looking for but is this for IP.Board?

I'm using IP.Board 2.3.0 I just want to change how it automaticlly changes. I don't want to add a whole new setup where you type.

Go into your Cpanel, and then Board Settings. It's at the bottom of that

There should be a setting in the admin cpanel to make it default.. but, it's not compatible with some browsers, so I'm not sure if it's the best idea.

That post is misleading to me.
If you're talking about how php handles bbcode, i will lock this topic and refer you to the tutorial/forum search (there is an extensive topic in the PHP tutorials part of the forum that i know of).

If you are talking about how to modify IPB settings/functionality, i will contemplate locking this and refer you to an IPB support forum.

Here is what i mean in a picture (below).

@Ghost I think you know what i mean but I tried looking in my adminCP and didn't see an option or w/e. Still looking though..

@rc69 sorry about my last post....I read it myself and I didn't even understand what i was saying...must've been too early for me to be typing but anyway hopefully the picture below helps out.

[rc69]

From what i can tell, you're still talking about BBcode, in which case, the first half of my last post would still apply.
Anything in between square brackets such as ['b'] changing text to bold, or the font one literally changing the font, ['img'], ['code']... all of it is BBcode. If you find some of the php tutorials, you'll understand (to at least a mild degree) of how it is converted from BBcode to the html code that displays the appropriate stuff.

Is it just me, or does it seem like we're "lost in translation" somewhere

Re-read my post - I never mentioned admin cpanel

USER CPANEL

If that's not what you're after, then you should really rephrase your question as it's very hard to understand what you're after...
