I've had some time away from Snitz and WebDev to better my life, and sort my head out, but now i feel i need to get back into it all. Lifes been boring without something to "make".
I was on PHPBB.com and thought they had soem great ideas for Forum Code mods, and alot of them have not been done for Snitz, and i think they would work great.
1: You Forum code
a tage ([you]) that would show the name of what ever user was reading the topic.
2: Left and Right IMG tags
A MOD to allow you to better format your posts by aligning images left and right instead of just in-line as with the standard ![]() tag. Text will also neatly wrap around the images.

| IMG=Left and IMG=Right is already in Snitz if I'm not mistaken. |

 Gremilin, you are correct. Take this image for example ... I've inserted the tag before all the text but see how it floats to the right?  |

Davio, there's a lot more hidden in inc_func_common
Maybe the book 'Previously Undocumented Features of Snitz Revealed' would be an idea...I think I'd buy one
I also found out the existence of the spoiler tag, just by incident, just as the img=right etc.
By the way, the spoiler tag (for those unfamiliar with it) works like this: Select this text...and the text below it...(there is text, you'll see)
told you so, here's the text I promised! :)
The accident was that I was trying to build it, and found it in there already...hehe. |

I love this tag in IPB, but it's so confusing. Someone posted a topic in an IPB forum I go to saying:
List of people I hate are:
[you]
And that flipping confused me so much, I did not notice it was the YOU tag until I posted a reply.  But it's fun to have something like this.
There is also a quote tag in IPB, which I am sure some of you might have tried:
[QUOTE=MSN.com] Text [/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=PeeWee.Inc] Text [/QUOTE]
I'd love to see that quote tag somehow implemented in Snitz. It works really nicely on IPB and maybe on phpBB too.
Edit: Didn't realise I was swearing!
GOD, I never knew da_mn was censored too!  |

Kind of like quoting a user from another post? Like this:quote:

But instead you can quote anyone? That is kinda neat. |

The second screenshot is obtained by clicking the "Reply with Quote" button, but it is actually done using this forum code:
[QUOTE=Faizan,Feb 21 2004, 08:04 PM] Text [/QUOTE]
If we put in the following code, it quotes an article from another site very neatly, just like in the second screenshot above:
[QUOTE=MSN.com,Feb 21 2004]Article![/QUOTE]
I find this very sweet and neat.

Just about to test this but to get the [you] tag working try adding the following to the extratags function in inc_func_common.asp: if len(trim(strDBNTUserName)) > 0 then
fString = replace(fString, "[you]", strDBNTUserName)
else
fString = replace(fString, "[you]", "you")
end if If the person reading the topic is logged on then it should replace [you] with their username otherwise it just inserts the word "you" instead.

Working as a charm!!! demo: http://www.oxle.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=769
MeTV, your the best! 
One question though...it seems that there is a difference in the way the name is displayed. For instance, at oxle.com my name is MarcelG, with capital M and capital G.
However, the [you] feature displays my name as marcelg ...
Any idea ? |

function extratags(fString)
if len(trim(strDBNTUserName)) > 0 then
fString = replace(fString, "[you]", strDBNTUserName)
else
fString = replace(fString, "[you]", "you")
end if
fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<span color=" & Chr(34) & CColor & Chr(34) & ">", "</span id=" & Chr(34) & CColor & Chr(34) & ">")
extratags = fString
end function
Only seems to work if i add it first :)
It also works with upper case for me, not sure why it wouldnt for you, marcelgoertz. |

Could be because the strDBNTUserName variable is created by retrieving the username from the cookie, which as far as I know stores your username as you type it when logging in. Have a look at the "You are logged in as" on your forum; it should show your username in the same case as the [you] tag does. I was going to grab the username from the database which would have solved this problem but it seemed like an unnecessary database hit. I can look into it, though, if it's a big issue.quote:

Not sure why that is but it could be because of a clash with another mod you have installed, unless by "first" you mean before the line that reads extratags = fString which should always be the last line in the function. Oh, well, as long as it works, is the main thing.
