                       I'm trying to find a way to add the iframe function to the forumcode. The only thing I cannot seem to find out is how to define the size of the frame (height/width)...
  The general idea would be this: By using this code
  [iframe:height-width-align]sourceaddress[/iframe] you would get this HTML content:
  <iframe src="sourceaddress" style="border:1px tablebordercolor   solid;" name="framed1" scrolling="auto" frameborder="yes" align="align" height = "heightpx" width = "widthpx"></iframe>
  Maybe someone has done this already ? |

                       We added an new image tag for more control. The same as html .. we only replace the begin and end tag.
  example: [ image ]"logo.gif" border="0" align="right" width="145" height="94"[ /image ] |

                      |  Ah, that's also an approach! Didn't think of that one! However, that requires some extra knowledge for the user on the syntax, and some extra tweaking of the HTML->Code functions, doesn't it ? |

                       ajhvdb, thanks! You can send them to me at marcel@oxle.com. But, still, how would we need to approach it if we wanted it to work as I described in my first post ? Any guru willing to take up the challenge ?   |

                       Mmmh... I've found this : inc_func_posting.asp
'---------- FLASH ICON
if strAllowFlash = "1" and mlev >= cInt(intAllowFlash) then
fString = replace(fString, "<embed width=""","[flash ", 1, -1, 1)
fString = replace(fString, """ height=""",":", 1, -1, 1)
fString = replace(fString, """ src=""","]", 1, -1, 1)
fString = replace(fString, """ hidden=""false"" autostart=""true"" loop=""false"" volume=""100""></embed>","[/flash]", 1, -1, 1)
end if
'---------- FLASH ICON  inc_func_common.asp'---------- FLASH ICON
if strAllowFlash = "1" and mlev >= cInt(intAllowFlash) then
fString = doCode(fString, "[flash ",":","<embed width=""",""" height=""")
fString = doCode(fString, "]","[/flash]",""" src=""",""" hidden=""false"" autostart=""true"" loop=""false"" volume=""100""></embed>")
end if

                       Try adding the following lines to the extratags function in inc_func_common.asp:fString = doCode(fString, "[iframe", ":", "<iframe width=""", """ height=""")
fstring = doCode(fstring, "]", "[/iframe]", "src=""", """ iframe properties></iframe>") The forum code would then look like this:
  [iframe:w:h]url[/iframe]

                         Feck, of course it would; the URL is being caught by the edit_hrefs function in inc_func_common.asp. Only thing I can suggest at this hour of a Friday afternoon is removing that particualr fuunction. The problem with that is that any URLs that are posted without the [url] tag won't be clickable. I'm sure someone else will be able to come up with a better solution than that, though.

                       I've done it ; I've placed the FLASH function with the IFRAME function. It's still a bit buggy, but it works for what I need.
  In inc_func_common.asp (around line 730)
 
		'---------- IFRAME
		if strAllowFlash = "1" and mlev >= cInt(intAllowFlash) then
		fString = doCode(fString, "[iframe ",":","<iframe width=""",""" height=""")
		fString = doCode(fString, "]","[/iframe]",""" src=""", """ style=""border:1px black solid;"" name=""framed1"" scrolling=""auto"" frameborder=""yes"" align=""left""></iframe>")
		end if			
		'---------- IFRAME
 
  In inc_func_posting.asp (around line 140).
 			'---------- IFRAME
			'if strAllowFlash = "1" and mlev >= cInt(intAllowFlash) then
			fString = replace(fString, "<iframe width=""","[iframe ", 1, -1, 1)
			fString = replace(fString, """ height=""",":", 1, -1, 1)
			fString = replace(fString, """ src=""","]", 1, -1, 1)
			fString = replace(fString, """ style=""border:1px black solid;"" name=""framed1"" scrolling=""auto"" frameborder=""yes"" align=""left""></iframe>","[/iframe]", 1, -1, 1)
			'end if
			'---------- IFRAME 
 
  In inc_func_pb2.asp Changed the function Flash:
 
function flash() {
	var text = getText();
	if (helpstat) {
		alert("Iframe Tag adds an external webpage or  Flash animation to the text.\n\nUSE: [iframe height:width]URL or Path to the page[/iframe]");
	} else if (basic) {
		AddTxt="[iframe width:height]" + text + "[/iframe]";
		AddText(AddTxt);
	} else {
		if (text) {
			txt=prompt("URL or Path to page or the Flash animation.",text);
		} else {
			txt=prompt("URL or Path to page or the Flash animation.","Text");
		}
		if (txt!=null) {
			AddTxt="[iframe height:width]"+txt+"[/iframe]";
			AddText(AddTxt);
		}
	}
}

                       Looking good, Marcel; nice workaround.   When you say it's a bit buggy, are there any specific issues you've encountered?
