Enabling moderators to use color BB codes / color tags

The $pattern and $replacement variables mentioned in the code above should be set in one line, no spaces and no breaks should be here. Be sure they has been pasted this way. miniBB splits large phrases into pieces, if they rich the length limit, so you must care about long lines.

Actually, I found out the problem Paul. I must have the code for the [bold] before the [colors] in the bbcodes.php file. It works this way now.

Thank again.

Ok then.

I have been trying to implement these color BB codes to my own forum, with no success. It simply posts the code in the submitted post. Is it only bb_codes.php I need to edit, or are there more files to change?

Many thanks.

Be sure you're pasting these lines in the proper place. They all must be pasted before the string

$msg=preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $msg);

Actually, we already have color BB codes by default, but they work only for admin. If you notice the string if($GLOBALS['user_id']==1... in bb_codes.php, it sets the condition of [font...] code available only for admin.

Yes, bb_codes.php is the only file you need to edit for adding/removing the BB codes.

It appears to be working now... It turned out I was having server troubles at the time, I'm sure there were issues with my file uploads.

Thanks.

Look at the following statement in bb_codes.php:

if($admin==1) {
$pattern[]="/\[font(#[A-F0-9]{6})\](.+?)\[\/font\]/is";
$replacement[]='<font color="\\1">\\2</font>';
}

you may edit it like:

if($admin==1 or $GLOBALS['isMod']==1) {
$pattern[]="/\[font(#[A-F0-9]{6})\](.+?)\[\/font\]/is";
$replacement[]='<font color="\\1">\\2</font>';
}

and it should work.
is it possible to allow other user also ?

The condition should be

$admin==1 or $GLOBALS['isMod']==1 or in_array($GLOBALS['user_id'], array(1,2,3))

where 1,2,3 would stand for your user IDs.

I want to enable for all user, is it possible?
I did that one you wrote but it's gave me error!

For enabling to all users, just remove this condition.

For enabling to all users, just remove this condition.

$pattern[]="/\[red\](.+?)\[\/red\]/is";
$replacement[]='<font color=\"#FF0000\">\\1</font>';

<font color="#FF0000"> text </font>

is it possible to make like this in edit mode also :

[red] text [/red]

when I wan to edit my post it's not like this

- you need to apply back-decoding algorithm properly in the function deCodeBB() of the same file.

decoding algorithm
so how can i make decoding for this :

{
$pattern[]="/\[red\](.+?)\[\/red\]/is";
$replacement[]='<font color=\"#D51512\">\\1</font>';
}

$pattern[]="/<font color=\"#D51512\">(.+?)<\/font>/is";
$replacement[]="[red]\\1[/red]";
