Hi, I used to have some code on my site that allowed me not to have to update the date in my copyright line on the bottom of my website. I had some cgi code in the date that replaced the second value with code to automatically update the present date, but can't remember how to do it. ex ---> (2001-code?) I'm updating some pages right now and want to fix the copright - but only once. :D

+1 sounds like a good idea to me. Caption and comments would be nice to show in the lightbox view. Users would like the option to add captions and descriptions (I think).

Found some:
[gmap] Gmap -this tag allows you to embed google maps. Use the html code from the link option of the map.

Also found a mod for another board that "adds lots of useful BBCode features and makes the bbcodebuttons look just like Microsoft Office 2003. It also improves thefunctions of phpBB's BBCode function. It adds the bbcode exactly wherethe cursor is, inserts smilies where the cursor is, and adds more waysto customize posts. The MOD is very fast loading, and is a sleekaddition to your phpBB bulletin board."

[abbr=Simple Machines Forum]SMF[/abbr]The abbr tag allows you to specify abbreviations with titles, which are usually displayed when you hover. The abbr and acronymtags are usually displayed the same in browsers, and you can use eitherdepending on whether you want to display abbreviations, acronyms orjust have extra information. This is an inline tag and no block leveltags can be placed inside, however other inline tags can be if nestedcorrectly.

SMFThe acronym tag allows you to specify acronyms with titles, which are usually displayed when you hover. The abbr and acronymtags are usually displayed the same in browsers, and you can use eitherdepending on whether you want to display abbreviations, acronyms orjust have extra information. This is an inline tag and no block leveltags can be placed inside, however other inline tags can be if nestedcorrectly.
"]Unknown W. BracketsIf the acronym's title contains complex characters, place it in quotes.

[anchor=id]text or more BB Code[/anchor]The anchor tag produces an anchor which can then be linked to, for example the anchor to the right.The anchor in the html is actually prefixed with "post_". This is aninline tag and no block level tags can be placed inside, however otherinline tags can be if nested correctly.

[ftp]ftp://somedomain.com[/ftp]The ftptag makes ftp hyperlinks. If a single ftp url is placed inside thetags, then a link will be made to that ftp url. How these links areopened depends on your browser, althought the default behaviour is toopen in a new window.

[table][/table]The table tags, along with the tr and tdtags are used to produce tables. These three tags correspond to theirhtml equivalents, however there are fewer options in the BB Codes. Thetable by itself does not produce any visible output. This is a blocklevel tag, however it can only contain tr tags.

[table]
[tr][td]text or[/td][td]more[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]BB[/td][td]Code[/td][/tr]
[/table]The tdtag produces table cells, sometimes called table columns. They producestandard html <td> elements, and are displayed the same. This isa block level tag, and can contain any other tag, but must be placedonly in tr tags.text ormoreBBCode

[table][tr][/tr][/table]The tr tag corresponds to the html table row. By itself it produces no visible output. Table rows must be placed inside tables and can only contain td tags.

[tt]text or more BB Code[/tt]The ttag styles text with a fixed-width teletype font. This is an inline tagand no block level tags can be placed inside, however other inline tagscan be if nested correctly.text or more BB Code

[me=username]does an action[/me]The me tag formats text in the style of the IRC action command. This is a block level tag.

<?php echo "Hello world!"; ?>

The phptag colors text with php syntax. This is a block level tag, however notags can be placed inside as they will all be formatted according tophp syntax.

Because of the flexibility of the posting system and BBcodes, I was wondering if there are more available for import. Are they a standard xml type that we can find on the web, or do we need to compile it for IPB3? I noticed the twitter BBcode tag and wondered what others were available. It's a pretty good posting system. Tables would be nice + others like text wrap around photos, Styling options for artilces like stylized text quotes, columns and tables and some others come to mind. Also integration BBcodes for popular online 3rd party apps photo services (place shutterflly), myspace/facebook content, etc --> all utilized on blogs and posts....

Sounds like a good idea, and I've seen it implemented before, maybe as a mod. I've also seen 'tag clouds' to display top tags as a display element or block. Would be cool to have tags used with sukbscriptions for custom content generation from posts. Not sure if it's a feature.

The stock portal doesn't seem to be very user friendly. When you look at the config options in the admim CP there isn't much there. The blog has full control over blocks and the portal has only a few features. I was going to use the portal on my homepage but can't figure out how to get configured the way I want. Might look into the CCS when it's released, but the portal is a disappointment.

Could be a shoutbox 'feature'... be nice to have a scroll bar to see more updates

I'm glad to hear that Mod Developers are already writing custom code for the new version. I'm hoping IPB3 is easy for the Mod Development community to write hooks, mods, modules, components, plugins and integration packs. Personally I'd be looking for a IP.articles and IP.reviews components, but might have to wait till it's addressed by developers.

Hi, I use the Portal / Homepage system that comes standard with 2.3. Will there be a similar stock Portal / Homepage / CMS system with the final release of IPB3? I'd like be able to have a place for portal blocks like random gallery image, Latest Discussions, New Members, etc. Thanks! (w00t) :zorro:
