I think you need to add this replace code function chkString in inc_func_common.asp.
The inc_func_posting.asp replace code was left for editing older posts. Or at least that is what I gathered from the comments in the code

| Thanks, Steve. That will probably work, but the other "should" also. After all, that's how the current forum code gets converted to html and I'd like to keep it there. |

jimlord, like Steve D. is saying, you haven't included the necessary code to convert the [mod] [/mod] tags to <font color="red"><i>[ ]</i></font>
This should be added to the ChkString function in the inc_func_common.asp file:
fString = doCode(fString, "[mod]", "[/mod]", "<font color=""red""><i>[", "]</i></font>")
the code you use in inc_func_posting.asp would look like this:
fString = replace(fString, "<font color=""red""><i>[","[mod]", 1, -1, 1)
fString = replace(fString, "]</i></font>","[/mod]", 1, -1, 1) |

OK, I'm a little loopy. I got my replace syntax out of order and thought I was replacing the "mod" tags with the html. The inc_func_posting.asp returns them to the forum code, doesn't it? 
I'll give it a shot. I'm sure it will work. Thanks Steve and Richard! |

OK, there's this in the inc_func_common.asp. Is this used somewhere? It looks like the perfect place to put something like this.
function extratags(fString)
fString = doCode(fString, "[ spoiler]", "[ /spoiler]", "<font color=""" & CColor & """>", "</font id=""" & CColor & """>")
extratags = fString
end function

yes, it is used for the [spoiler] tag, tags in this function are only converted when the post is displayed, so you don't have to convert back and forth when editing a post. (i.e. the tags are saved in the message as a tag, not as html)
example of [spoiler] tag:
this text is hidden by the spoiler tag
you have to highlight it with your mouse to read it. |

something to consider ... depending on the order of your code, a red italic formatting may be interpretted
as mod formatting. I'd suggest using an id attribute on a span element to specify this formatting.
fString = doCode(fString, "[mod]", "[/mod]", "<span id=""mod"" style=""color:red;text-decoration:italics;"">[", "]</span id=""mod"">")
fString = replace(fString, "<span id=""mod"" style=""color:red;text-decoration:italics;"">[","[mod]", 1, -1, 1)
fString = replace(fString, "]</span id=""mod"">","[/mod]", 1, -1, 1)

| Works like a charm. I'll clean this up and make it a mod with code. Thanks for your help. |

There. Updated the corrections, and edited the original post. Wouldn't mind a double check of the updated code before moving to MOD Add-On Forum (W/ Code)?  |

Nikkol, good point, and I missed it when I had posted before. I tried it, and it didn't give the italics, so I changed the style to "color:red;font-style:oblique"
Instructions and zip updated. |

| Just a note, I've added another button with this code that inserts a "[board rules]" into a post and then converts it to a link to our board rules for posting. It's a nice touch for our moderators, who have quick access to post this link with the button instead of having to find it every time they need to point someone to our board rules. We'll probably be adding a little pulldown for the mods where we can add posts that we commonly refer people to and have it insert the link, but that's later. Just an update for those that can use something like that. We've had a HUGE positive response from our moderators. |
