Hi

This is my first post here, so I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask.

I've currently controlling a forum for a hobby store, but recently they have asked me if it's possible to add a new forum code. I didn't know if it was, that's why I come to ask here.

To be precise, what they ask is a code for displaying cards, by simply typing their name (preferably a popup window, or a mouseover) per example
[MTG]Card Name[MTG]
MTG would be the code for cards from Magic: The Gathering. A similar code would be WoW for cards from the WoWTCG. We have all the images already on our server (we have a webshop with pictures), so that shouldn't be a poroblem.

Any ideas or solutions? thanks!

Glad we were able to get you on the right track. <

Thanks guys, I think this will help me a lot already!

I'll look for the similar thing for that other game aswell.<

Make sure you add the reverse code to inc_func_posting.asp Example:
If the tags are being parsed by the extratags function, you don't need to add the additional code to inc_func_posting.asp; posts are passed through the extratags function when they're pulled from the database, not when they're inserted.

I got caught on that once. Won't let it happen again.<

I seem to remember that someone already did something similar to that for a different game, but I can't seem to find the topic at the moment. I'll look again, but you may want to search a little too since you probably have a better idea of the terms that another Magic enthusiast might use. <

Make sure you add the reverse code to inc_func_posting.asp Example:

			fString = replace(fString, "Start code here","[mtg]", 1, -1, 1)
			fString = replace(fString, "End code here","[/mtg]", 1, -1, 1)

You want the ExtraTags function in inc_func_common.asp. Add this line, changing the part in red to whatever HTML you need to display the images/links the way you want.

	fString = doCode(fString, "[mtg]", "[/mtg]", "Start code here", "End code here")

That will do the display part. Obviously if you're grabbing the links from a database based on the text the user puts in between the [mtg][/mtg] tag, you'll need more code to get that. I'm assuming, though, that you already have that code. If not, post back here with more information on how the image files are named and how you want your users to be able to link to the cards.

Hope that helps.<
