I am not sure if this is the right place to ask however...

Postby Greater Evil Imperial Japanese Dystopia » Mon May 21, 2012 2:28 pm

I have been attempting to develop my own offsite forum for some time, however a dilemma has come into mind.

I love the BBCoding used by the NationStates forum, so I was wondering if it were feasible for a site administration to telegram or send me a file containing the codes.

Such as the alignment codes per example.

Arigato gozaimasu in advance. :)

By viewing the source of pages that contain posts that contain the tags you like, you can get a good idea of exactly what is happening.
If you don't know how to do so, it probably isn't a good idea to start up a full forum with those features.

Most prebuilt forums (phpBB, to name but one) come with lots of BBcode already in place.

The problem with a UDP joke is that you have no idea if people got it.

I looked however it is very difficult to search on their site. So many results...

Is there a specific phpBB coding package template you might have possibly based this site off of?

Furthermore, per example, at the immediate moment, how does one combine all different alignment forms intot he "align=" coding, including "left", "centre", "right", or "justify"?

Try this:
original
[align={IDENTIFIER}]{TEXT}[/align]

Html
<span style="text-align:{IDENTIFIER}">{TEXT}</span>

That's a basic version.

Technically I place the alignment types in the place of the "identifier"?

I think they're asking "how do you build it" rather than "how do you use it".

Floatright
Floatleft
Blocktext
Code
List
Strike
Background=
Font colour

Some examples at phpbb.com

I'd suggest searching around. There are tutorials for just about everything on that list. If you familiarize yourself with HTML, it should be fairly obvious how to do others, too.

Floatright and Floatleft have the float: right; and float: left; CSS rules, respectively. Just add margin: 75px; to the blocktext tag, not sure about code, the [ list ] tag would be <ul>...</ul>, if it was [ list = 1 ], then it would be <ol>...</ol>, not sure about the other types of lists. the [*]...[/*] would be <li>...</li>, strike is the text-decoration: strike; CSS rule I think, background could be from [ background={COLOR}]...[/ background ] to <span style="background: {COLOR};">...</span>, and color would be the same way. Just check w3schools fi you need help on any of the html.
