dean84 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I cannot seem to find the area where I go to create custom bbcode. Can anyone point me in the right direction please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Explosion Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Assuming you are talking about IPS4, there is no custom bbcode area. You can create custom buttons that perform actions but there is no bbcode management. ACP -> Customization -> (Editor) Toolbars -> Add Button -> Custom Alternatively, type bbcode in to the ACP search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean84 Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 yeah I found that, but its nowhere near what I was hoping to do was looking at creating custom bbcode to allow me to create tables. Where you can use the normal [table] sort of bbcode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Explosion Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Utilise the CKEditor Tables plugin: http://ckeditor.com/addon/table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean84 Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 Yeah, thats again not what I am after, I provide one of my users a spreadsheet which creates the code necessary to create a bbcode table, on my IPB 3 version it would work, and on xenforo I had it working, but on IPB 4, without the custom bbcode option, I can't get it to work. I don't really want to allow him to post using html, but I guess I have very little choice right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dean84 Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 The problem is he doesn't know how to do that sort of thing, he is just a user on the forums who runs a prediction league, they used to post just basic text standings, but it was messy and hard to understand, so I created a spreadsheet for him which he could update, and it would spit out the code he needed to create a bbcode table. Which would then create a table like this for him (there are 4 tables for his prediction league) It has promotion places, relegation places, sorts it all in order of points and that sort of stuff.

Nathan Explosion Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Click the top left cell of the table in the spreadsheet, extend the selection to the bottom right of the table. Copy Go to site. Paste & Post. Note: ckeditor will not put the colour of the rows in place on the pasted content, if copied from Excel. Old 'bug that isn't a bug but is a bug...maybe' that has 2 options: Copy from Excel to Word, then copy from Word to site. Put 2 configuration options in place in the ckeditor config.js file 'Bug' details: http://ckeditor.com/forums/Support/bugCopy-MS-Officewordexcel-and-paste-CKEditor In short: the custom bbcode option is no longer available...IPS are effectively phasing out bbcode. Just offering you options here to adjust the process that your guy follows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dean84 Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 Thanks Nathan, I will have a good play around with that, it would certainly make it easier for him. Inside Edge, I currently use zoho spreadsheets, but will look into google docs too, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
