gwBBCode - Add some style to your forums
liu pi
Ever felt the need to have a synthetized view of a teambuild to interact with your allies, or lead it better?
Ever felt annoyed having to go to a fansite every time you want to know the exact description of a skill mentioned in a discussion?
Then maybe would you be interested in gwBBCode; have a look:
Wanna see how it works? Checkout this teambuild demo or that syntax presentation
gwBBCode is a forum extension hosted at gwShack, a place to host teambuilds and ease their editing.
So far 700 forums use it. phpBB is fully supported while vBulletin and punBB are still in beta.
Latest version 1.7.0 includes all Nightfall skills.
So! if you want to install it, all you need to do is download it here then place it in your forum directory and go to forum_dir/gwbbcode/install.php with your browser. Its license, GPL, makes it open source and free, so you can modify and spread it all you want!

Well my forums run vb 3.5.3 (Soon to be 3.5.4)
So I'm intrested in it.
phpbb2 isnt very good forum software anyway

Actually I prefer Phpbb to VB anyday.
As for the bbcode, I am currently running phpnuke and am wondering if there has been a port for this as well?
If not I can always modify things myself to get it to work

Website is down at the moment
Admins at my Guild forum wouldn't mind trying it out, so I hope you can get it back up again

I have been working on porting this to phpnuke, if I succeed I will post it here for everyone.... if thats alright with the developpers of course.

Latest version 1.5.4 takes into account March 2 skill update.
Sorry it took me so long to release it, but I took screenshots of all skill icons and rewrote all skill descriptions (10+ hours).
Version 1.5.4 also includes a working installation/uninstallation for vBulletin but I wouldn't rely on it as it works just like other BBCodes from vBulletin: activating/deactivating them only affects posts at the time they are posted, not after when they are viewed. So uninstalling gwBBCode wouldn't remove its use from already existing posts, a behavior I certainly don't want. If you know a way to reparse posts using new BBCode configurations, it'd resolve that matter.
Website was down for 1-2 days but is back, host's fault
I'm glad it does, thanks
That'd be great! All you have to do to port gwBBCode is

- to include header.php before </head>,
- to include body.php right after <body>,
- to assign $gwbbcode_root_path to the location of gwBBCode's path,
- to include gwbbcode.inc.php,
- and to parse text possibly including gwBBCode tags using the parse_gwbbcode function, e.g $text=parse_gwbbcode($text);

Thanks for the tips there I have almost complteted it now but am working on a nother project so its getting put on the back burner for now.
As well I want to use it in the phpbb portion or the forum portion of the site that ships with phpbb, the only problem is that the code is changed from phpbb to phpbb.
It shouldnt be a problem though, as soon as I get things up and running I will post here for everyone to see

Wow, that is excellent work, I'm very impressed! I will ask our website manager to look into this, thanks!

This is incredible. I just installed it on my VB forum. Great job, I wonder why Guru doesn't have this installed, and why in the world it's not more popular.

I am totally going to try adding this to my guild's forum.
Thank you SOOOO much for taking the time to develop something like this.

I absolutely LOVE this. Was VERY easy to get working in phpBB2.
I just had one question... where do I go to change the appearance of the skill info popup? it looks like the text is not lining up over the transparent background like it should be. Maybe it is just me or something up with my forum but any help would be appreciated.
This is what I am talking about

Problem solved, his forum style was doing processing no style should do.
jinxtwitchyboo
Yes, Liu was a HUGE help and when he figured out the problem, sent me an updated version which works flawlessly.
Note to others... PhpBB + Aphrodite Theme + gwBBcode = nono.
Makes me wonder if other styles use the same kind of coding, and if it would be possible to offer people a choice to download the version that works with Aphrodite and all it's family of colors.

You need to be able to modify your forum files to install gwBBCode (need to include some javascript), but you can't do that on invisionfree's forums
You'll either have to host your own forum (i.e download a forum software and install it) or use gwShack.

is it possible to put this into java script? because i tried doing it on our webby and you can add things using java script i just don't know enuff about java script to do it. i nvr took the time to learn the tutorial lol. if this could be rewritten in java script ide gladly pay gw money or even take them out and get them some fame farming if they needed it. or even powerlvl a char or even run them whereever lol. neways if u catch my drift im dying to put this on my forums i just need some way of converting it to java script. hmm lemme see here i added a spell check to the forums and i just read the script. it uses active x and it is written in java script. hmm lemme think. what it does is goes into the microsoft word and uses there spell check. ok i jst confused my self. neways if someone could put this into java script ide gladly repay em

Time to upgrade your servers! :P
One question though, you said you screenshotted every skill? You can download all the icons here: http://www.guildwars.com/community/f...skillicons.php
I'm sure you have a reason not to use those, but I'd gladly like to know why.
Oh and don't forget to change your guildtag on these forums

I have been working for three weeks now on the new skills, and will ask for you help any time soon.
As it is, gwBBCode would slow these forums but I'm also working on a Javascript version that won't have this side effect.

Erm, how does one set the Deadly Arts attribute?
Following the normal pattern and using 'dea=X' doesn't work since 'dea' represents Death Magic.
Ok, looking in gwbbcode.inc.php, I found it. It was using 'dead' as the tag to represent Deadly Arts, but it must've just read the 'dea' and gone ahead putting up Death Magic. I changed it to 'art' on my forums, and it works fine.

When you specify an attribute, the only rule is to give enough information for gwBBCode to figure which one you're talking about (and no space).
DeadlyArts=9 works, as do deadly=9 and deathmagic=5
Now, if you think that 3 letters are enough, only specify 3. The only issue you'll get is between Death Magic and Deadly Arts, dea refering to Death Magic for backward compatibility.
This is far from obvious so I'll address it in next How to version, thanks for bringing it up

Just was pointed here by a guildie and I immediatly fell in love with this modification
I installed it on a vBulletin 3.5.4 forum and works like a charm.
One little question?
Will the tooltip on gwShack.us be released? I really like that layout

v1.6.1 changelog:
- Death Magic and Deady Arts attributes now work properly. Prior to this fix, skill description weren't responding properly to these attribute values. Kudos CoRrRan for reporting it.
- Skill design was improved thanks to Yumm, now showing little energy/adrenaline/cast/recharge/maintaining icons.
- Installing now ends by proposing you to send my your email to get informed over new versions of it. Suggestion of CoRrRan.
- Swordsmanship is now spelled correctly.
- Attribute value is now specified after each skill description.
- The How to was changed to include an example of how to specify Death Magic and Deadly Arts values, as robrobrob requested.
- Added back the pickup system in the How to, as requested by Lucas.
Thank you all for the support
Hope this release is what you wanted Killsless.

Tooltip is exactly as I wanted . THNX
I have some bugs to report sadly;
1: the text in tooltip when you make a build (with the attrib points and stuff) is black so hard to read.
2: The text in the tooltip indents. Firts I thought it was a couple of spaces but it indents the complete skill name.
Added a picture to illustrate the problems.
I uninstalled version 1.6.0 before installing this one (1.6.1).
[EDIT]
I just couldn't leave it
I made a few adjustments to the .tpl files so that the above stated bugs are crushed.
1: This was the hardest to get rid off.
Firts off I added 2 new class declarations in overall_header.tpl
Now you can declare different style attributes to the overall builds tooltip
Then I made an edit in gwbbcode.tpl
Found:
replaced it with
Now the Builds tooltip should look as normal (white text and aligned left)
2:To align the text in the skills tooltip I also made a small edit in overall_header.tpl
Found:
And replaced it with:
You can see I added the float: left; style attribute.
When all edits are done correctly it should look like this:
I also provided an attachment with the editted .tpl files in it for ppl with lesser editting skills .
I will also take a look at the refresh problem that tends to happen in vBulletin (you need to edit the post before the new tooltip appears)
