Has anyone compiled the basic Snitz Forum BBCode into a file (or a couple) that has only the minimal relevant components that they could share?
Of all the BBCodes out there, the Snitz BBCode is very nice. |

you are not allowed to use the Snitz graphics on a non snitz site without the Permission of Mike (ReinSnitz) who owns them, they do not belong to Snitz so we can't give permission. |

Here is the basic compact Snitz BBCode.
1. This is not a Snitz Forum add-on. This is for people who want to use the Snitz BBCode in other applications.
2. This code does not process the BBCode, it's only designed to allow users to format their posts with BBCode in a non-WYSIWYG format. If you need a script to process the submission that's posted, I have a RegEx that might be more efficient than what Snitz Forum is currently using. You can also go through Snitz Forum's code to find the method to process the BBCode.
3. I believe this code will work on almost any browser, all the way from the Netscape era, as long as Javascript is enabled.
4. The contents of inc_code.js includes all the script that I believe is necessary to run the Snitz BBCode but may include some extras that aren't necessary.
5. As you test this, you will notice that icons will not show up. You will need to create your own icon graphics and smilies and place on your own server for them to appear (Yahoo and Google have 'open-sourced' their smilies and allow free use of them). I believe there are over 30 calls to the server with all those icons so it might be time to redesign how the icon buttons and smilies appear on the page ... maybe use CSS positioning??
6. The smilies will need converted into real smiley code because this forum is converting them into graphics. Reply with quote to this topic to see those values.
STEP 1
Paste the following in an HTML page:
STEP TWO
Copy the code below and paste into a file named "inc_code.js" and upload to the same directory as the html page you created above.
Download inc_code.js |

I built a small stand-alone wiki for an in-house project, and rather than make the staff learn yet another markup language I set it up to use the Snitz BBCode.
I've heard a lot of folks over at StackOverflow.com (and the other StackExchange sites) love Markdown. For me, it was a matter of keeping everything the same and not making people learn new skills. Obviously you should always use the solution that best fits the problem. I seem to remember Jeff Atwood had a blog post about humane markup, a precursor to the decision to use Markdown. |

Anon,
This is very nice. I remember trying to obtain the BBCode a couple of years ago and it was a beast so I abandoned it. But I keep coming back to it as the best one available if the code was more compact. It looks like you've done almost all the work so it could be a good project that I can do and share.
Unless anyone knows of a BBCode system that's more effective?? |

Last I checked, yes. I think there's a little more than just what's been listed to include BBCode in another project - its just been a while since I last looked.
At a glance, I can see in the last project I used the BBCode for, I included/used the following: (some are repeats from config.asp that I doubled because I did not want to include all of config.asp in the project in question)
I think there's something else missing too, but it isn't exactly jumping out at me as I glance through the code. One of these days I do plan on cleaning up the code to release as a MOD... someday when I have spare time again. |

All JS for Editor is at inc_code.js as well... |

you probably only need inc_iconfiles.asp and the 'Smile' function out of inc_func_common.asp |
