justing seeing if this will work here

What with a recent post that involved multiple people trying to post a YouTube video here, I've been wondering if other HTML effects would function as well. Some clearly work, others don't have any significant effect. Back when I first got on livejournal I found this cute little site that could do a number of fairly simple but visually stunning things with just text and I've hung onto the link for quite awhile.

You know, little things like change the color of text. Sure, that's not complicated at all. Anybody can change text color...but there's changing it and then there's changing it in a pattern. Working in levels and swirls. Like say a random color pattern or something a bit more rainbow esque.

It didn't...and sadly I can't delete it.

Yo, Herm? Please delete this post!

Don't sweat it EvilGrins. I prefer not to delete it because when I fix this issue, it will likely then work. This can be the great mystery as to what you actually tried to post just then. It will be my prize when I fix it to see it finally.

I also prefer not to delete stuff off of this forum. There are times that I have but I always had good reasoning behind it when I did it before.

OK, Check it out - here is what it does...

EvilGrin's Post

HTML does not work directly in most newer versions of phpBB.
It did in the old versions.
Now, you have to use BBCode - convert html to BBCode.

Cool! Now I don't have to fix anything. Just kidding. HOOK, I did look and did not see where in your ACP to add codes. Ican find it on mine but don't know how to do it. I have a place where I can get directions and I will.

ACP-->Posting Tab-->Add new BBcode.

Hope this helped buddy

What Code do I need to add to make EvilGrin's post work properly? I'll add it too. Did anybody happen to see that I fixed the youtube video issue. Like I said: One word:

Shazam!

In this case, there is already BBCode to do this.
Basically, you would have to replace the color and sizing of the text in question with BBCode equivalents.
The html that EG posted merely contained a string of text characters that were individually formatted using html tags. (code)
Take for example the following...
W
That would be replaced in BBCode with...
[code]W[/code]
Resulting in...
W

===============================
Here is some info on Custom BBCodes, from my forum anyway...

BBCodes...
BBCode is a special implementation of HTML offering greater control over what and how something is displayed.
From this page you can add, remove and edit custom BBCodes.

BBCode usage...

Here you define how to use the BBCode.
Replace any variable input by the corresponding token (see below).
Examples:

[highlight={COLOR}]{TEXT}[/highlight]

[font={SIMPLETEXT1}]{SIMPLETEXT2}[/font]

Actual Example at HUTP: [HUTPWeb]{URL}[/HUTPWeb]

HTML replacement...

Here you define the default HTML replacement.
Do not forget to put back tokens you used above!
Examples:

{TEXT}

{SIMPLETEXT2}

Actual Example at HUTP: <iframe src="{URL}" height="540" width="280" scroll="auto"></iframe>

Help line...

This field contains the mouse over text of the BBCode.
Help line text -> Actual Example at HUTP: [HUTPWeb]Add the URL here[/HUTPWeb]

Tokens - What can it be?...

Tokens are placeholders for user input.
The input will be validated only if it matches the corresponding definition.
If needed, you can number them by adding a number as the last character between the braces, e.g. {TEXT1}, {TEXT2}.

Within the HTML replacement you can also use any language string present in your language/ directory like this: {L_<STRINGNAME>} where <STRINGNAME> is the name of the translated string you want to add.
For example, {L_WROTE} will be displayed as “wrote” or its translation according to user’s locale.

Please note that only tokens listed below are able to be used within custom BBCodes.
Token What can it be?
{TEXT} Any text, including foreign characters, numbers, etc… You should not use this token in HTML tags. Instead try to use IDENTIFIER, INTTEXT or SIMPLETEXT.
{SIMPLETEXT} Characters from the latin alphabet (A-Z), numbers, spaces, commas, dots, minus, plus, hyphen and underscore
{INTTEXT} Unicode letter characters, numbers, spaces, commas, dots, minus, plus, hyphen, underscore and whitespaces.
{IDENTIFIER} Characters from the latin alphabet (A-Z), numbers, hyphen and underscore
{NUMBER} Any series of digits
{EMAIL} A valid e-mail address
{URL} A valid URL using any protocol (http, ftp, etc… cannot be used for javascript exploits). If none is given, “http://” is prefixed to the string.
{LOCAL_URL} A local URL. The URL must be relative to the topic page and cannot contain a server name or protocol.
{COLOR} A HTML colour, can be either in the numeric form #FF1234 or a CSS colour keyword such as fuchsia or InactiveBorder
